Phil's POV
He laughed so loudly the sound reverberated around the room.
Then a snort escaped from his mouth and he stopped in surprise.
He looked so startled, so confused that it made me crack up again.
After a while we had finished laughing, and lay there on the ground breathing deeply, happily.
Then an alarm sounded on my phone and I scrambled to turn it off.
"Looks like I'm due to make another youtube video." I told Dan as he sat up.
I'd set an alarm on my phone for every two weeks so I would remember to make one.
It was easy to forget with all that was happening off-camera.
I turned to Dan to ask the same question I always asked, expecting the same reply I always got, "Do you want to be in the video?"
He chuckled, before standing up to meet my eyes.
I breathed in, sharply.
Our faces were barely inches away from each other.
"Okay, why not?"
Blinking, I took a moment to replay what he said to me.
"You-you'll do it?"
"That's what I said, isn't it?"
I could barely contain my excitement as I leapt into action, setting up lights and the camera around my bed, positioning my laptop so that I could see it from where we were sat.
I explained the friend tag to Dan, before switching on the camera.
"Hey guys! Today I'm joined by my friend and flatmate - Dan!" I made a trumpet noise with my mouth before continuing, "I sent out a tweet asking for your questions, and we're going to answer them! So, Dan. What is your name?"
He chuckled, and stammered, "D-Dan??"
"Good to know!"
We continued on, as I scrolled through the replies sent to me on twitter. My eyes caught onto one question from someone with me as their profile picture.
Are you two dating?
Skip.
"First kiss?" I asked, biting my lip.
"I've never actually had one. I nearly did, but when she leaned in, her breath stank of cigarettes."
She.
"Nasty." I said, making a face.
After about 15 minutes, I decided we had enough footage and said bye, before turning off the camera.
Turning to Dan, I asked him, "Was that alright? You seemed nervous."
"Yeah - I guess I'm just not cut out for this stuff."
I scoffed. "Are you kidding? The camera loved you!"
Just like-
Your mum.
