youth

sixty five ; livestream / real life

mabel was ready for dan's weekly live. she has popcorn on the nightstand beside her bed and her laptop on the younow webpage - dan's profile open.

her phone buzzes, notifying her of dan's younow stream. she refreshes the page and a smile blooms on her lips. clicking on the live, dan is already chatting away.

"hello all," he smiles wide athe the camera lense. "today i have no topic so ask questions. if i see anything about mabel and i, i will most likely refuse to answer as that is my personal life." mabel lets out a sigh she forgot she was holding. her head is perched up on her hands and her feet fiddle with each other in the air on her headboard. it had been a little over a week since she has seen dan face to face. he's been busy with meetings and other things. it makes her sad but she knew he wouldn't lie about that, right?

she types in a short message to the chat and sends it. hey! i miss you was all it said. it doesn't reveal anything about their relationship in the slightest. dan's eyes hover over the chat periodically before he looks back at the lens and smiles. mabel knows that the smile was aimed towards her. "hold on a second guys." he mumbles a bit before snatching his phone off the top of his glossy white piano and opening it. the noise of texting comes through clearly and then it stops. mabel's phone screen turns on and a text from dan is sitting there. she looks up at the computer screen to see dan biting his nails in a nervous trance and peering down at his phone every now and again.

dan: you should come over, i miss you too and im sorry its been like a week since ive seen you.

mabel: but i look gross

dan is typing...

dan: you look perfect to me mabel, come over.

mabel: the fans?

dan: just ignore them, or sit on my bed or something.

mabel: okay, ill be round in a bit

dan looks up at the screen with a smile and puts his phone back where he retrieved it from originally. "what have you been doing all week? asks julie. literally just meetings and then when phil and i get home we're exhausted so we can't hang out with people." he let's out a soft sigh, glancing over the camera to his door, mabel pressumes.

she slips on a pair of flats and slams her door, locking it before charging up the stairs for dan. she mocks on the door, moving her fist quickly and taps her foot against the linoleum flooring outside their door. "hey mabel. dan told me via text you were coming to see him?"

"yeah. it's good to see you! how've you been?" mabel steps in and let's phil shit the door gently behind her. she removes her flats and walks with phil a bit before he goes into the lounge. she rushes to dans door with a small smile on curling at her lips.

leaning against the doorframe, dan draps everything, mumbling something to his laptop, and sprints over to mabel. he wraps his arms around her in pure love and smiles. mabel squeals a little as dan picks her up and puts her on his bed. he pressed a soft kiss to her lips before pulling up a chair and seeing it beside him. she knows she has a choice but immediately goes to sit beside dan.

his hand rests on the inside of her thigh as he continues the live show. he ignores every single question about mabel and it makes her happy.

dan ends the live after ten minutes of her sitting beside him, fidgeting slightly to get into a comfortable position. he makes up some stupid excuse but it seems legitimate. he shuts his laptop and smiles down at mabel. "we're watching movies because that's all i want to do right now"

"sounds like a cute plan"

"not as cute as you"

"such a flirt, what are we watching?"

"your choice" it takes mabel a moment to think of a movie to watch before she lets out a gasp and flashes her stomach as she flails her hands around in the air. mabel decides on a comedy, f is for family, and dan laughs at her choice but they watch it together anyway. mabel's head is on dans chest and his arms are around her waist. she missed the gentle touch of dan when they did something sentimental. she missed him the most though and she hopes he never leaves her.

they're about ten episodes in and dan looks down at a sleeping mabel in his arms. he smiles a little. dan's lips press against her forehead and he settles down to sleep also.

one of those nights.
