Chapter 32: Finale

After a while, we finally decided to sit down and record the video. As a funny little entrance, we decided that I would pop up from behind the bed. We were pretty sure it would be funny. I shrunk down behind the bed and waited for my cue.

"Hello Internet! Now, if you all saw my tweet yesterday than you would know that I have an announcement to make. And that would be," Dan started drumming with his fingers against the table to simulate a drum roll. "I'm actually in a relationship!" He said.

"Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!" I yelled, popping up from behind the bed with my arms raised. After a moment of complete silence, we both broke out into laughter. I quickly got up and sat down next to Dan, still laughing slightly.

"Yes, you heard me right. I'm in a relationship. And now, it's not with Phil, neither am I in a polyamorous relationship with the Lester siblings. Although, I did snatch one beautiful Lester child in this whole thing," Dan said, wrapping his arm around me. A warm smile covered my face as I leaned into him slightly. "I honestly don't know how it's always a Lester," he commented.

"We're just that attractive to you," I joked. I turned towards the camera to continue. "We decided that we would answer questions about our relationship even though we hadn't really announced it yet. A lot of you guys did guess right though, so congrats to you. Much proud, very amaze," I said. Dan let out a chuckle before continuing.

"Let's get those questions, shall we?" He asked. I nodded, watching as he pulled out his phone and pulled up the screenshots from his gallery. "'How long over you two been together'?" Dan read out. I thought for a moment, trying to math.

"About a month or so now," I said, finalizing my math. Dan nodded in agreement.

"I would say so, yeah." Dan looked down at his phone again, beginning with the next question. "'When and how did this happen?'"

"Enough awkward moments happened to the point where we had to say something to each other," I responded. It wasn't the complete truth, but hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.

"That would have to be the best explanation we could ever give you," Dan added before continuing with the questions. "'Does Phil know about you two? If he does, how did he react?' Of course he knows. If we hadn't told him yet then we wouldn't be making this video," Dan answered immediately.

"Image if we just didn't tell him and this video was how he found out," I joked, though I could see the fear in Dan's eyes when the scenario came to mind.

"I would be dead, (y/n). Dead," he said. I laughed a little before we continued on. "He reacted pretty well. He actually kind of celebrated and hugged us to the point where we couldn't breathe, but that's normal these days," he chuckled, going on to the next question.

"'Is (y/n) pergenat? Pregnart? Bregant? Praganant?'" Dan read out. I looked at him with the most surprised look I had, though I was also silently laughing. Dan laughed at my expression.

"What?! When did you add that in?!" I practically yelled, snatching his phone from him. I looked at the tweet and rolled my eyes. "You guys are the weirdest fandom ever, I swear," I said, looking directly at the camera with a disappointed look. I handed Dan his phone back, and we continued on with the video. It ended up being a little lengthy, as we couldn't stop making jokes and laughing with each other. But, after about an hour and a half of filming, we finished the video.

Dan quickly went into editing mode in his room while I went into the lounge to give him some space to concentrate. I found Phil sitting on the sofa playing a game. I sat next to him, startling him slightly.

"Oh my gosh! I didn't hear you come in," he said, pausing his game. I gave him a small shrug.

"I'm just that sneaky," I responded. We both let out a small laugh before Phil perked up for a second.

"Dan's editing, right?" He asked. I gave a small nod, raising my eyebrow in suspicion. "We should have a brother/sister night!" He said, a wide smile spreading across his face. I thought for a moment before responding.

"Actually, yeah. That sounds pretty fun," I responded. We both decided that some snacks were in order, and by some, we meant literally all of them. We raided the kitchen and within minutes I was popping some popcorn and Phil was pouring multiple varieties of crisps that he found in the pantry and cupboards into a few bowls he had.

"So, it's been about a month now. How are you feeling?" Phil asked, glancing up from his activity.

"It's really nice. It's obviously so much better than my relationship with Isaac. I'm a lot happier," I replied, taking the popcorn out of the microwave and pouring it into a large bowl.

"That's really good. And I'm glad you guys are announcing this to the Phandom. I think it's a good idea," he said, grabbing his own numerous bowls. I let out a small giggle, nodding in agreement. We made it back to the lounge and turned on a movie, snacking away at our treats while we watched. It was truly a good night to spend with my brother.

--nyoom--

It was the next day and the video was being uploaded. Dan and I decided that we would leave the Phandom for the day to react to the video while we went out to grab a bite to eat. As we walked to a nearby restaurant, we started to talk about the possible responses we would get from the video.

"I hope your fans are fine with all of this," I mumbled, glancing down at my feet as we walked.

"I'm sure they will be fine. I always see them saying stuff like, 'if he's happy, so am I'." He paused for a moment, looking towards me. "And I'm really happy," he replied, squeezing my hand. I gave him a soft smile as a response. We finally made it to the restaurant after a few more minutes of walking. We ordered our food and patiently waited. Our waiting was sadly cut short, however, when I received a text from Phil.

You may want to check the video.

Looking up at Dan, I showed him the text and panic began to fill my head. We both pulled up the video and scrolled down a bit to the comment section, hoping it wasn't as bad as it was made to be.

The response was not what we expected.

At all.
