Heartbroken ❥ Dan Howell x Reader

Chapter Ten

okay this is the last VidCon chapter, i promise. im just having so much fun with it! next chapter you'll be back home, making videos, slowly falling in love. i promise.

by the way, my friend aestheticspork wrote a Dan x Reader called Closer Than I Thought. there's only two chapters out now, but i think it deserves more love :) go read it! (after you read this ofc :>)

also, i go back to hell (school) in a few days so im sorry if updates start to slow. i promise that i won't just randomly drop the story though. i get really sad when people do that ;-;

okay i need to stop rambling.

Here you go~

"(Y/n), which top is better?" Emma asked, holding up two yellow tops that were practically identical.

"Uh... If this is a test, I failed, because those are the same."

Emma sighed. "You're no help."

"Well, personally, I think Phil will still like you no matter what you wear."

"Really? Wait, no! I'm not dressing for Phil..."

You rolled your eyes. "And I'm not a human. It's obvious you like him! Just tell him!"

Emma nervously ran her fingers over one of the shirts. "What if he rejects me?"

"Are you kidding me? Emma, whenever he looks at you it's Love Eyes Lester. There is a zero-percent chance that he'll say no, and if he somehow does, just think about me and my depressing life and you'll feel a lot better."

Emma picked up one of the shirts. "Okay... I'm ready."

She got changed, and left within a few minutes. You decided to be productive and ask someone to film. You pulled out your phone, and dmed Gabbie Hanna.

You:
hey! long time no see :)

TheGabbieShow:
hi, and it has! we have to hang out

You:
we do. i have a video idea!

TheGabbieShow:
do tell

You:
youll have to see when you get here ;) but bring an outfit you would wear

TheGabbieShow:
the suspense is killing me

You:
shut up and get over here lmao

~Diet time skip~

Gabbie arrived at your hotel room, and after catching up, you sat down to film a video.

"Hi YouTube!" You said, happily waving. "Today, I am here with Gabbie Hanna!"

"Hi (your fanbase name)!"

"So, you know what this video is from the title, but Gabbie has no idea what we're doing!"

"And I'm very scared about it."

"You should be."

Gabbie sighed. "What is this video, and am I going to need to tell my therapist about it?"

You smirked. "This video is a style swap! I wear your clothes for a day, you wear mine!"

Gabbie seemed relieved, but that was quickly replaced by worry. "(Y/n), you still dress like you're from the early 2000s."

"Well, in this video, you're going to be dressed like that! And I'm going to be dressed like... Basic White Girl Chic."

"Thanks (Y/n)."

"I keep you humble."

~ Mini time skip~

Gabbie was sat in front of the camera, wearing a black and white flannel, black skinny jeans, and black combat boots. Very much your aesthetic. You stood behind the camera and were about to come on, wearing a yellow T-Shirt, blue denim shorts, and white converse. Very much the opposite of your aesthetic.

Sitting down in front of the camera you uncomfortably said, "I've never felt less like myself."

"It looks good! You always wear so much black, and seeing you in something more colorful is refreshing."

"Well you look very... Punk rock."

"They're your clothes."

You hesitated. "Touché..."

~Another d i e t time skip~

You and Gabbie finished the video, and now was the best part. Getting to talk like actual humans.

"So, how's Dan?" Gabbie asked.

"I don't know? Why do you ask?"

"Oh, sorry, I thought he was your boyfriend."

Gabbie managed to say this at the exact moment you were taking a sip of water, so you laughed, which turned into a choke, which turned into you gulping down the mouthful and managing to sputter out a barely understandable "W - What? Why?"

"You guys just seem like a couple! Don't get me started on that laughing onstage thing."

"Oh, God, how many people have seen that?!"

"Um... Kinda the whole world... You guys are a Twitter moment."

(not sure if that's the right term oops?)

"WHAT?! Are you actually kidding me?! Holy fucking fuck, oh my God, what?" You somehow hadn't been on Twitter for a few days, so you didn't see this. You grabbed your phone so fast you nearly broke the sound barrier.

To your horror, there it was. "YouTubers Daniel Howell and (Y/n) (L/n) LOL at VidCon 😂"

"You really haven't seen it?" Gabbie asked sympathetically.

"No! But apparently everyone else has."

"Well, hey, at least you look good in all the screenshots."

"Whoop dee doo."

"Let's talk about something else..." Gabbie said, noticing it was a touchy subject.

~Another time skip I'm sorry okay I'm really lazy~

A few minutes after Gabbie left, Emma still hadn't returned, and you were getting worried.

Is she okay? She's such a klutz, what if she's in trouble?

You opened the door, and stood right outside of it were Emma and Phil, practically snogging each other's faces off.

(side note, i think the term "snogging" sounds so gross but it also sounds v british so im keeping it)

They didn't notice you right away, so they both jumped when you spoke. "Are you both trying to eat the other's faces at the same time, because I'm almost certain that isn't going to work."

"I was just cleaning her face... With my face..." Phil said quietly.

"It's okay, I ship it. Hashtag Pemma for life! But hurt my best friend and you're dead, Lester." You said before pulling Emma into your room.

"Tell me everything."

so you didn't talk to dan at all but hey pemma is real! its an unfortunate ship name. im stuck between pemma and emil. anyway, next chapter is gonna be huge. be on the lookout.

bye my beautiful babes!
