Let's Be Friends Again {Dan Howell x Female Reader}

Chapter Three: Let's Be A Little Closer

Chapter Three

"It's not like that. She doesn't like me like that. I know that much already."

"Well, I wouldn't be so sure about that." Phil finished.

 

You found now was a good time to walk in like you hadn't been listening.

 

"Hey. Sorry, I grabbed Dan's phone on accident." You said and set his phone on the counter and grabbed yours.

 

You walked off to the bathroom and locked the door behind you. In the shower you found your thoughts confusing. "It's not like that. She doesn't like me like that. I know that much already." You thought of what Dan said repeatedly as you splashed water over your skin. You had felt similar to Dan. You'd had strong feeling for him since you met him back in uni years prior to now. All those years you had lost contact with him and for every single one of them you missed him. You always thought he didn't like you that way but he thought the same about you now? It was a lot to process. You stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around your body. You put your underwear on and stepped out of the bathroom.

 

"Sorry, but can I borrow something to wear to bed?" You asked as you stood in Dan's doorway nervously, her hand clutched to your towel as you tried to keep it covering you.

 

"Sure." He said as he avoided looking at you. He dug around in his closet and pulled out some sweatpants and one of his shirts. He handed them to you, avoiding your eyes.

 

"Thanks." You said and rushed back to the bathroom. You returned to his room minutes later with wet hair and his clothes covering your body.

 

"Thanks a lot, Dan." You said. Instead of a "You're welcome" or a "No problem" he shocked you with his response.

 

"Did you hear Phil and I?" he asked you suddenly, his eyes fixed down on his bare feet, turning body away from his laptop.

 

You looked like a deer in headlights but you stuttered a lie. "N-No." You replied.

 

"You're lying." He said, looking back at his computer screen.

 

"Well, I guess I did." You corrected yourself.

 

"So you know now. Your opinion?" He asked, turning his chair to look at you.

 

"If you want me to be honest then, well, I guess I was thinking the same thing. Daniel Howell," you said with a slight laugh "in my opinion, you're out of my league. I mean, you're Internet famous with millions of fans. There are a million girls out there that would love to score a date with you."

 

"But I don't want a million girls. Just you." Dan said with a nervous smile, he stood up and began walking towards you.

 

It was happening so fast. You avoided his eyes, your face flushed red. Dan lifted your chin, pointing your face up to him. Your eyes flashed towards him awkwardly. It wasn't an everyday thing that a boy you'd been in love with for years confess his love for you. He released his grip.

 

"Uh so yeah. You going to bed soon?" He asked nervously, stepping back from you.

 

"Yeah. You?" You asked, knowing he didn't go to sleep until closer to 3 or 4am. His answer was different than expected.

 

"Yeah. I'd like to try to at least." Dan said.

 

"Oh." You said as you sat at the foot of his bed. "Do you have a preferred side to sleep on?'

 

"No. I didn't really think that was a thing." Dan said, sitting on the bed next to you. "How about we just sleep on the sides of the bed we are on now?"

 

"Sounds good to me." You responded and walked around from the foot of Dan's bed to the right side and crawled under the covers.

 

Dan looked reluctant but he took your lead and went around to his side of the bed, turning off the light as he found himself getting under the covers.

 

"Are you alright?" You questioned his facial expression.

 

"I just don't like the dark." he responded, sinking into the bedding.

 

"Oh, do you want to keep the light on?" You asked, sinking down to match his height under the blankets.

 

"No." He responded, turning his body on it's side to face you.

"Do you... want to sleep closer to me?" you suggested, your words came out with much nervous tension. You could see his lips crack into a smile through the dark. You found yourself curling up to his body, he wrapped an arm over you. You stared into his eyes, focused on his existence. His body seemed to light up the otherwise dark room around you as you looked into his large brown eyes they peered back at you. The grin placed on his face was still visible. You found your eyelids getting heavy, your focus was now blurred as sleep came upon you.
