Again // d.h

Chapter 5

It's December, which means it's socially acceptable to listen to christmas music, and can we appreciate the calendar picture for this month?

(y/n)'s POV

I woke up the next morning to an empty bed, meaning Josh had probably left, I stretched and looked to the window to see a storm brewing up. Luckily I had accidentally left the heating on so I wasn't cold. I walked into the lounge to see Ellie on her phone under the blanket on the sofa. "Finally! Got anything planned for today then?" She said almost shouting. "One it's too early for you to be speaking that loud and two yes, we are heading over to Dan and Phil's place for the day to hang out." As I said this in a barley audible tone her face lit up with excitement as she jumped up. "Oh my god really?" I nodded and she continued to vent out her joy "I actually am so happy, Dan is hilarious and Phil said last night if we went to their apartment him and I could play Mario kart, I'm getting dressed." I laughed at her ecstatic behaviour and decided I should probably do the same as it was nearing half eleven. Hey don't judge me, I can lie in for as long as I please on Sundays.

I quickly got a shower and washed my hair, leaving it to dry after I had gotten dressed and was doing my makeup. I decided I was only going to fill in my brows and put on mascara, although I needed more than that.

I grabbed my glasses and shoved them on my face lazily, my outfit was quite chill so I put them on, I didn't need them badly, but I ended up wearing them half of the time. 

"Are you ready (y/n), you take forever." Ellie pondered swinging back and forth on my bedroom door frame. I just rolled my eyes walking past her to the door. She let out a small squeak of excitement. I walked up to their door and knocked reluctantly, however the door swung open to show a very anxious Dan. "Hi (y/n), Ellie" he said gesturing for us to come in. "Dan are you okay?" I asked, his eyes darted around. "Yeah." All of a sudden before I could reply Phil came marching down the hall "Hiya!" He chirped happily. "Anyone want a mince pie?" He said smiling. "Yeah, no one rea-" Dan began but Ellie finished "Erm yes, yes and yes again, food" she laughed and so did Phil. "Dan? Are you okay?" He asked frowning in confusion. "Yea" He said taking the question with a pinch of salt. Phil then laughed quietly "Dan have you been-" Dan shoved him with his elbow "No" he said through gritted teeth. What the fuck? "Doing what?" I asked. "Trying to impress you" As soon as Phil slipped the words out of his mouth, clearly by accident, my face turned bright red.

Dan coughed to break the awkward silence. "I thought we could go to starbucks?" He shrugged his shoulders "Yeah, it'll be nice to catch up." I smiled shouldering him playfully as he smiled to himself.

As he was tying his shoelaces, and we were having a discussion about jobs, mariah carey began to blast from the living room and I heard Ellie laugh while Phil sang 'All I want for Christmas is you' I just laughed and shook my head. "Bloody mental" Dan chuckled as we left. We eventually left the complex and stepped into the chilled air. Luckily starbucks was just around the corner so we didn't bring coats. On the way there we were pushed and shoved until we got to the corner and a man passed who was small and muscly, but on his way he pushed past numerous people causing a commotion, however as he passed me I apparently wasn't expecting his force as he managed to push me to the floor "sorry" I stuttered. "Jesus, watch yourself, you lanky bitch." He growled staring down at me. Was he for real? "Excuse me?" Dan said his voice raised as I got up. He was now staring down at him. "I said that this bitch should watch herself." He said clearly angered by Dan's ability to be intimidating. "Say that again and I'll fucking knock your head from you puny neck." Dan said in his face. "Whatever." He grumbled once more and stormed off. 

"Are you sure you're okay (n/n)?" Dan said checking me up, worry in his eyes. "Yes Daniel, and It's me that was in the way." I explained tucking my hair behind my ear. "No, it was him being an actual living embodiment of a dick, (y/n)" He said still frustrated as we sat in the corner of the coffee shop with our drinks. "Hey, do you wanna film a video with me later, you don't have to I just need some content that won't bore my viewers." He said I smiled "Yes dan" I said and his face lit up.

"Oh my god we should do a video where we talk about all of our awkward and embarrassing secondary school stories" I said as he pondered what to film. "Yes! Even though I have done one like that with Louise but we have to many good ones to not tell them." He smiled. He stood up quickly and grabbed my hand pulling me up and along with him out of starbucks. Luckily, I was holding my phone in the process. "Careful" I giggled giddily as he pulled me through the streets. Why did I feel so happy, it was like old times being relived. I looked at Dan and met his eyes, he looked at me and a soft smile that made my stomach flip played on his lips. Wait really? What? Why, he was my friend and my friend only.. Right? "(y/n)? (y/n), are you okay?" Dan asked, I looked at the floor blushing again. "Hm? Yeah, why?" I said acting confused. "You just seemed zoned out, that's all" He said smiling once more and pulling me once again, but this time up the stairs to our floor. "Dan!" I laughed as he began to skip stairs and laugh at himself. As we reached our floor we were both laughing so hard I nearly collapsed due to lack of oxygen. "Jesus christ." He panted "excuse me whilst I choke on exercise" he said through continuous gasping for air.

We walked into their apartment and were welcomed by shouting and laughing from the living room. "No way, you are a bloody cheater Phil Lester!" I heard Ellie's voice echo down the hall. "We're home" Dan called, earning a few 'okays' and 'hellos' from them. Dan lead me through the hall to his room. "What a dork" I laughed as I saw his posters and novels. "Hey!" He turned grinning. "Okay. I say we just wing this video, one, it'll make it funnier and two, we have enough stories to tell without racking our brains." He said digging around in his corner, then standing up holding a camera and tripod. After we had set up the  camera and lights, Dan hit record and made me hide and then jump into frame, we are such nerds, wow.
