Varying Perspectives [G/T Oneshots]

25 - FLOWERPOT

Dan walked into his room, phone in hand, scrolling through comments on his channel. Glancing up to the terracotta flowerpot he bought a few days ago, something strange captured his full attention.
"What?"

The plant just appeared in the pot one day. Small green, and spindly, with two leaves and branching stems almost too fine to see. Dan had absolutely no idea how it got there.

He hadn't bought any seeds, he hadn't planted any cuttings, he hadn't even chucked any extra water into the pot.
Yet, a plant was growing.

Dan soon set his mind to finding out where it came from and how it survived this long. But, it still took a while before he mustered the raw motivation to actually do something.

He'd tell himself he'd stay up late, or set up cameras, but he just couldn't be bothered. The first plant grew in this time, sprouting more leaves and even a bud. More shoots pushed through the dirt, and soon, that empty pot became quite pretty.

Dan began to post daily 'Pot Pictures' on his Twitter, and one day, he was woken early in the morning by a buzz from his phone. Someone had commented on his most recent photo, and followed him. "Phil Lester?" Dan had no idea who they were. He flipped onto his stomach and checked the photo.

I'm the one watering your flowers :) - Phil Lester (@AmazingPhil)

"What the fuck? Creepy much.. BLOCKED!" Dan exclaimed, but couldn't actually be bothered to go through with it.
<Bzzt>
Another notification. This time it was a photo from the same Phil Lester. A selfie to be precise; of a man, with a perfect swoop of shiny black hair, kind light blue eyes, and what looked like a black cat's nose and a spray of dark whiskers.
"Ooh, spicy photoshop Philly." But Dan frowned when he saw the background. Everything was flat and brown, with dirty orange walls rising in the distance. Except for a short green tree climbing behind him, and fine green grass around said tree. A fully green tree with fine branches, giant leaves, and even a flower bud?

Dan tore his eyes from the screen and looked at his flowerpot. I couldn't be true, people weren't that small. Only animals.

Back to the phone when it buzzed. Another photo. Phil.
Except this time it was a blurry image of Dan's own confused face staring straight into the camera, as if taken from the pot. And a caption too.
"It's not Photoshop, Danny." The English man read aloud and promptly threw his phone across the room with a shout. Then he stood, and those brown eyes focused on that pot.

"I'm so stupid." he sighed and stood. There couldn't possibly be people smaller than this flower, but, something inside him was insanely curious and Dan wanted to quench it.

<Bzzt>

He ignored his phone and shambled over to the plant.

<Bzzt> Phil Lester has commented on your profile
<Bzzt> Phil Lester has commented on your tweet.

"Oh shut up!" Dan yelled at it, and heard a pathetic whimper of fear in response. He crouched down, and his eyes widened when he saw it. A figure smaller than his thumb half buried in the dirt near the flower, phone held in front of him like a shield, trembling. Dan recognised the black hair and the inhuman dark nose and whiskers.

It was Phil.
"No, no, no, I must be fucking dreaming." Dan tried to poke the small figure, but his vision was filled with flashing, blinding light before he could even touch it. When he'd regained his sight, Phil was gone, and nothing remained in the pot except what was meant to be there. Plants. Dan flopped onto his back, trying to comprehend what in the world had happened.

"So, this 'Phil Lester' is a tiny person who, lives in my house somewhere and waters my plants while I sleep. I'm fucking insane aren't I?" Dan turned his head to his phone, lying in a heap of clothes, screen lit and displaying his numerous notifications from Twitter. From Phil mainly. With a groan, he slinked over to it and sat down, picking up the sleek iPhoneX and immediately opening up his Twitter feed. Dan knew what he wanted to do then.

He wanted to follow Phil and open a private chat with him. If Phil was going to live with him, they might as well get to know each other. He sent him an Animoji, just to lighten the tense mood their flowerpot meeting had birthed.
"Hey Phil, this is Dan, as a dog! Woof woof woof." He couldn't help smiling when he sent it, it was just so fricking stupid it made him want to curl up in a ball and cry.

Phil texted back almost immediately with...
"Coop? I fucking embarrass myself and you give me coop?" he said aloud, hoping the whiskered person could hear him, wherever he was in the room. He was probably laughing his butt off wherever he was. Dan furiously texted back the word "Doop" then turned off his phone, slid it into his pocket, and left the room. End of conversation.

Dan and Phil! Hope I got Dan's personality correct, I did watch multiple videos to try and get an idea, but I don't really know. PHANDOM FOREVER!!
