Still Holding On (A Daniel Howell x reader)

Chapter 25

We walked into their flat and Phil, seeing my face red, made me take my temperature. It was a normal temperature.

"98.8 degrees. I'm fine, Phil. I told you nothing was wrong."

"I'm sorry. I'm just worried that you were sick."

"Its okay Phil. Why don't you go put the anime on while I order the pizza."

"What about Dan? Is he going to have to do something?"

"Yeah Y/n. Am I going to have to do something?" Dan sassily says.

"How about you go get pillows and blankets."

"Okay."

And with that, we all get to work. I order the pizza to the desired type and Phil gets the show set up. Dan hasn't come out with the blankets yet, so I decide to check up on him.

I knock on his bedroom door and I hear a faint hold on. A few seconds later, Dan opens the door with his pajamas on. That makes sense on why it took him so long.

"What's up?"

"The ceiling." He laughs and shakes his head. "I was just checking in on you. I ordered the pizza and Phil got the show set up. They said the pizza will be here in 15 minutes, so we have that time to spare."

"Oh okay. Well, come help me pick out the blankets. You are the one who suggested it."

"Okay, your highness."

He laughs and I walk into his room. Its literally just how I remember it from the night that we made up. Or the time that we fought. Or the time when we kissed. I felt my cheeks heat up at my sudden thought.

"What are you thinking about?"

"N-nothing too important. Why?"

"You just seem to be lost in thought."

"Oh well. How about we take this blanket?" I say, changing the subject.

The blanket is so soft. I just want to cuddle into it. Its a dark gray color with a soft side and a furry side. I want it so bad.

"That's like the only blanket I use." He says, laughing. "If you were to ever lay down with that thing, you wouldn't want to get out of it. That's why I hate waking up."

"That's understandable. Just so you know, I'm stealing it," I say.

"No you're not."

"Mhm."

"Nuh-uh."

"Uh huh."

"I'm not fighting over this," he says, smiling.

"Then, how about we share it?"

"Nope."

"Why not? I mean, both of us gets the fluffy blanket."

"Its mine."

"Its not technically yours."

"Then who's is it because I know its not yours?"

Its fun antagonizing him. "Its the person's who made it."

"But I- never mind. There's no point in arguing with you," he smiles.

"No there isn't because I'm always right," I smile.

"If that's so, can you tell me what I'm thinking about right now and get it right?"

"I never said I was a mind reader Dan," I laugh.

"I could help you."

He gets closer to me and I feel like I'm shrinking. He's so much taller than me, its insane. As he gets closer and I back up. I back up too far and hit by back against the wall. He puts both arms beside me and looks down at me. His normal awkward self has literally done a somersault. Now, he has a confident demeanor and its kind of weird seeing him like this. Its nice for my sake though.

"Have you figured it out yet?" He asks, looking down at me still.

"No. Like I said Daniel, I never said I could read minds."

"You and your smartass comments."

He closes the gap between our lips. However before I know it, he takes his lips off mine. It takes me a moment but I put my lips on his again, but more roughly. He chuckles and keeps kissing me.  It feels as though everything stopped. The world stopped spinning and everything stopped moving, except us. We are the only things on Earth able to move. I don't understand how he can make me feel this way. What even is 'this way?'

His tongue moves against my lower lip, demanding for entrance. I decided to tease him a little and keep my lips closed while kissing him. He bites my lower lip slightly as a result, making me yelp a little. He uses that to his advantage. His tongue feels around my mouth, tasting every inch of it. I don't even care. I've never kissed anyone before Dan and I don't mind.

After what seems like forever, even though it could've been at most a few minutes, we stop kissing and we sit on the floor. I lay my head on his shoulder and I finally remember what the last thing I thought about before hitting the water. It hit me harder than my body actually hitting the water. Its something I never thought of happening.

I've fallen for Daniel Howell.
