Phil's POV
As we sat together, the room began to darken.
I couldn't make out Dan's face as more than a silhouette, but even so, I knew what it was saying.
I held his hand in mine as I felt his breathing steady, and his tears slow.
Then, amongst the thick silence, I spoke the dreaded words. I knew he didn't want to talk, but I needed to know.
"Why did you do this?"
"I don't know."
"Dan... tell me."
He sighed, gripping my hand tighter. I felt a tear drip onto my skin.
"I messed everything up. I should've told you, but I just ran away. I'm an idiot."
"No, you're not."
"I deserved to hurt. I hurt you."
"No, you don't. Please don't hurt yourself." In the darkness, I found his face, cupping it in my hand and kissing him softly.
Dan sniffed as we broke apart, "Does this mean we're... going out?"
"Yes please."
We hugged together for a while, and I got my phone out to check my notifications.
I scrolled through twitter for a bit before going to youtube to see how my channel was doing.
Dan moved slightly in my arms to look, and I held the screen so he could see, "Look, our video got to 3 million views! That's amazing!"
He snuggled into me further, and an idea popped into my head.
"Why don't you start your own channel?"
It seemed to take him a moment to process my question, as if contemplating something.
"I would, but I'm not interesting enough, and no one would like me.""Don't say that - you're so funny, Dan, you'd be amazing."
"I'll think about it." He said, giving up.
He rested his head on my chest, yawning.
"I love you so fucking much, Dan." I whispered to him, as I felt his body become heavier in my arms, and I knew he'd fallen asleep.
