Why You? Sequel to Danny Boy (a Dan Howell/danisnotonfire fanfiction) *UNEDITED*

28) Addi

This is your first and last fluff (well heartfelt conversations that I literally felt a little pain in my chest because it was so cute) warning. Beware.

"Hey, Louise! Have you seen Dan?" I call when I see the familiar pink tipped curls. "Oh sorry to inturrupt your vlogging. Hello everyone!"

"Hello Miss Addigator!" She points to the left. "I think he went that way. Hey, we need to get together sometime!"

"Exactly what I was thinking! Thanks! Adios Sprinklearenos!" I wave a final goodbye and give Louise a quick side-hug and I'm off down the hallway she pointed to. The said hall is dark because someone turned off the lights because the rooms aren't being used at the moment, so I almost miss Dan.

"Right here." He says quietly. He's in a corner with his knees brought to his chest to seem as small and invisible as he can.

I slide down the wall beside him, but don't say a word, waiting for him to speak. It's a few minutes before he sighs like he's going to say something, but stops. I decide it's time for me to do something.

Scooting over closer to him and resting my head on his shoulder and hugging his arm, I finally say, "Are you okay, Dan?"

"Just fine." He mutters; I wait a few moments and he continues. "But I'm wondering, when did you get so close to Joe."

I sigh and nestle into his shoulder more. "I haven't"

"Well what was that back there?" He asks letting the frustration into his voice.

"It was Tyler's idea."

Dan looks at me like I've grown a second head. "Idea for what?"

I turn my head to look at him as well, "Think about it." His brow furrows. "What plan would Tyler Oakley come up with to help me that involves another guy and you storming out?"

Realization dawns on his face, but he stays quiet. I turn my head away from him and wait for him to talk again. "You were...?"

"Yes. I was. Now come you have a thingy thing with Phil." I stand and offer him my hand.

Dan just looks up at me, but then grabs my hand and pulls himself up. "You... Wait... You and Joe...?"

"Come on, Mr. Howell." I say and lightly push him forward. "You'll be late."

<><><><>

"Dan!" I gasp when I see the restaurant the taxi pulls up to.

"What?" He asks with a smirk and hands the driver the amount owed. "Thank you!"

I gape at the building in front of us. "This place is far too fancy!"

He stops my efforts to try and pull away from the sight in front of me. "I've already made reservations and they'll give our table away if we don't go now."

I look down at my black dress and wedges. "Alright but I hope I don't get us kicked out."

He takes my hand and tucks it in the crook of his arm. "You're with me, of couse we're going to get kicked out."

"I'll make sure you don't fall if you make sure I don't spill anything." I joke, nudging him.

"If you keep doing that I will fall!" He exclaims, holding the door open for me and I giggle.

"Name?" The a stiff, formal looking lady asks us when we enter.

"Howell." Dan says as I look around in awe. The carpet and thick and plush, and tables are hidden in cozy, romantic alcoves; candles are on every table, filling the air with the scent of vanilla and lavender.

"Dan." I breathe as we slide into a booth. "This is... you didn't have to do this for me."

He stares at me in confusion. "Why wouldn't I give you the best?"

I blush and am saved from answering by our waiter. "Champagne?" He's tall and slim with a head of gelled brown hair.

"Yes, please." Dan answers and grins at me.

I grin over the top of my glass. "To the stars?" He glares at me. "What? I couldn't help it!"

"You're an idiot." He grins and taps my glass.

"That's why you love me!" I say and look at the menu, but I don't read it. What are Dan and I? A couple? Talking? Ugh this liking someone thing is really complicated. Why can't you just get a notification when you're talking with someone or dating?

"What're you thinking about?" I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Dan. He's looking at me and smiling softly. God he's adorable.

"Oh the usual, what type of pasta to get, if I want to wear jeans tomorrow, life." I shrug and take a sip of the champagne.

He chuckles. "Don't get an existential crisis in here. You don't have your carpet square."

"You know me so well." I smile. I love this moment, not the restaurant or the fanciness or the violin in the background, but sitting, talking with Dan and just being happy. It's the happiest I've felt in a long time, and I don't think I could get happier.

He's daydreaming when is decide to speak again a few minutes after our waiter takes our order. "Dan?" He hums and looks at me. This is 'Heart-Eyes Howell' ladies and gents, it's nothing like how he looks at Phil, it's better. "Thank you. Not for bringing me here," I stop him and gesture at the restaurant. "But for bringing me here. For trusting me at that airport for some reason."

He takes my hand that's resting on the table. "Thank you."

"No you don't understand, I was going through a tough time and you helped me. I might not have let it on but I was. You pulled me out of my darkness and into your light. So thank you for that." I look down halfway through and blush when I realize what I just said. God I must've sounded like a fool.

He squeezes my hand and I look up. "You've help me in more ways than you can imagine, A." A small smile forms on my lips at the nickname. "I don't know why I stopped to talk to you, or why it was you who happened to be the one I talked to, but I'm glad it was you."

"I'm glad it was me too." My smile grows and somehow grows more when I look at our joined hands. I was wrong. I'm happiest now.

A/N:

Okay not going to lie I almost started crying writing this. I've got a couple things, thank you, thank you, thank you for all the reads and votes and comments like holy cow. If you comment and I don't respond I'm sorry, I don't get a notification sometimes and so I'm not aware of it. If you have, thank you so much because it literally makes my day.

Secondly, I think this story might be coming to an end? Which makes me sad because I love it and I feel like I'm starting to get the characters more. If I end it it'll be in like maybe four chapters at the most and maybe another book? Or a big time skip and just keep going. Let me know what you think!!

Thank y'all so much for reading and REMEMBER 7 votes and I'll update! Love ya addigators!
