Inspi...
Christmas went by with a blink of an eye, and before we knew it, Phil and I were back on the train and on our way to London. Stuffed from eating so much over the holidays, I snuggled into my sweater and listening to a calming playlist on my phone. I hadn't received anything from Isaac since that night, which was a little calming to my thoughts. As soon as we got home, Dan, Phil and I were planning on going on a house hunt in hopes to find something that would suit all three of us and our lifestyles. My random thoughts were broken when my phone buzzed. Looking down, I noticed a text from Dan.

I closed the conversation and looked at my screen saver. It was a picture of the three of us that was taken a couple of weeks ago. I never really thought about it, but being around my brother and Dan brought me happiness that I hadn't truly felt in years. I looked out the window and zoned out, leaving my imagination to wander by itself.
--LONDON--
Stepping off the train, I immediately felt uneasy. The hairs on the back of my neck stood as I felt the odd sensation of someone watching me. Carrying my bag on my shoulder, I turned to Phil and gave him a fearful look. He nodded and we quickly made our way home. The feeling soon disappeared after a few blocks, but I still felt a little uneasy.
We finally made it back to the apartment and I quickly stepped inside. I let out a small sigh as I heard Phil close the door behind me. Mere seconds later, the sound of someone racing down the stairs was very prevalent. Dan came racing down the stairs, skipping a few, before wrapping me in a tight hug. My cheeks glowed slightly as I dropped my bag and hugged him back.
"Are you okay?" He asked. I shivered slightly as I felt his breath on my ear before nodding in response.
"I'm fine, Dan. I'm fine," I whispered, pulling away from the hug. A pink flush was still apparent on my face, as I looked down, hoping he hadn't seen it.
"Geez, I wish I got a greeting like that!" Phil complained, placing his bag down and hugging Dan. I grabbed my bag and smiled at the two before making my way upstairs to put my bag away. Looking around the office, I realized how ready I was to actually house hunt. It honestly felt awkward sleeping in their office, especially when they had to film a gaming video. The only time it felt somewhat fun was when Dan came up to do some gaming by himself. We would talk for a while till he left. It was nice.
I glanced at the desk and noticed a new frame sitting in the corner. Taking a closer look, I noticed it was a picture of the three of us, taken about a month ago when we went out for a day in London. A smile grew on my face as I picked up the black picture frame, admiring the photo encased inside. After a few moments, I placed the frame down in its spot and made my way back downstairs and into the lounge. There sat Dan and Phil on their computers.
"You two ready for house hunting?" I asked, excitement lacing my voice. They both looked up at me and smirked.
"Way ahead of you, (y/n)," Dan said, showing me his computer. There on his screen was a page open to a beautiful house on the outskirts of London.
"You started without me?" I whined. "I'm hurt," I crossed my arms and turned away from the two. They both let out a chuckle.
"It's fine. We wouldn't pick anything without your approval," Phil commented, turning back to his own screen. I rolled my eyes and grabbed my own computer, sitting at the table and beginning the long search.
