on the plane home you and dan just slept

nap nap nap

but when you get home dan checks the calender.

May 2nd.

interactive intrtoverts in two days.

two days left unit he leaves.

But one month until he leaves England.

Two months until he's in America.

This is crazy.

Two weeks in New York which were beautiful, but now until September until he is home.

After you both realise, phil opens the door.

He knows this is not the happiest of times, so he steps up in between you and Dan.

"I ordered pizza,"

You look at Phil and just start crying.

He gives dan a worried glance and grabs you before you fall to your knees in tears.

"I'm sorry," you stammer to Phil.

"Theres just- the timing is so sudden." You whimper. Phil lowers himself to the ground so you can sit.

"Its okay, y/n. I understand." Phil says calmly.
"We arent just leaving the apartment for four months-" you cry, four month, "-but we will be coming back. Visiting. Gaming. We will be doing livestreams as well. Look, we wonts block you out. Daisy feels the same. You and her can binge watch stuff and just eat. Sounds good?" He says. Dan is crouching rubbing your back.

"Im just gonna miss you both so so much." You manage to get out.

"I am going to miss you as well." Dan says. You look up at him. He is teary eyed.

You fall into his arms and he hugs you. His breath is shaky but you sit in his arms.

Phil's phone buzzes and he walks to the doorway. There stands Sally and Daisy. Daisy is holding a four tray of starbucks and sally is holding her own in a mug.

"Hey," sally smiles. She still seems sad. But she sees you and looks at Phil. He shakes his head.

"Its rough right now. Givem' peace." Phil smiles.

Rosie put the drinks down and leads sally into the kitchen.

"I- I am sorry. I am over reacting, you will be coming back. Its less than a year, much less than a year. You will be visiting. Im sorry for over react-" you say trying to stand, but Dan keeps you in a hug.

"Its not an over reaction. Its a realization. It is sudden, y/n. But I will call you and post to you and text you. I wont act like you are irrelevant. Look, Daisy is taking care if the houseplants while we're gone, but you can live here every now and then. Okay?" He says look you in the eye. Never breaking eye contact. You nod slowly. And stand up.

You grab your scarf (even though it was may it was freezing that day) and throw it behind his neck and pull him in for a kiss. He obeys and falls in as well.

"My clothes are soaked." You say to Dan taking off your coat. Dan hangs up your scarf behind the door.

"Your suitcase is in the hall," he says putting your coats on the radiator.

"Oh yeah!" You walk out to the hall and sally is sitting there on her phone.

"Hey cake," you say walking over to her.

"Hey burrito," she says. "I am having a few relationship problems."  She says. You crouch down next to her.

"Speak," you say.

"Well, after my break down, I have barely talked to mia. I've seen her twice and we've discussed a date. But I don't know what to do. With her, with us." 

"I mean, dan and I had a stumble, which was resolved in two weeks. With help of about fifteen other people though. Has the outside society found out about you and her?" You say. Sally shrugs.

"People have asked for photos while I was with her, but since she is the same gender and people haven't grasped that I can shipped with girls, no. He friends know about us though. He les mis." (666 words)

"Talk to her about doing a video. But go on a date first, and don't bring it up while on the date. Okay? Now I need to get dressed cos I am soaked " you say standing. Sally nods and smiles.

"Im glad you know your shit." She says.

You grab your clothes and walk back to Dan's room.

Opening the door you see a shirtless Dan. No over reaction, this is your boyfriend of several months.

"Oh hey," he says. You blush.

"You are putting on that shirt? Oof." He says.

"Its a shirt that defines our relationship. And me, I am such a cat in a helmet." You say pulling off your shirt.

You hesitate.  Your shirtless.  So it Dan. And its nothing sexual. Is this an achievement in our relationship?

You throw on the cat shirt quickly and Dan nods understandingly.

He puts on his totoro onsie and you two walk out.

Sally is huddled up by the fire and Phil has his arm around daisy, and she is resting her head on his shoulder.

"I love you," dan whispers to you.

"Love you too, Daniel.,l
