in a world where your moods are visible above your head, displayed through pictures and icons, it's impossible to hide your true feelings. however dan howell seems to be lacking this. labelled as an emotionless freak, dan is outcasted because his moods are never visible. that is, until an endlessly happy boy named phil wonders why.

*'BEST PHANFICTION' WINNER (FANFICTION AWARDS 2018)* Daniel has anxiety and crumples paper to calm himself down. Phil has ADHD and diminishes hearts to bring himself up.

Dan wasn't like any other 16-year-old boy. He liked flowers and pink things. Big deal? Clearly it was to those around him. He was different, that was why they hated him. Phil was like most 16-year-old boys, just not like the ones at his school. Being raised in a nasty neighbourhood meant the piercings and dyed hair were also seen as different. If you weren't rich, you were a mistake. When these two outcasts meet, they'll change each other's lives forever. They just need to learn to let each other in.

Dan is the popular kid at his school. He can have any girl he wants. But then Phil started in his class and everything changed. Now he doesn't want any girl. He wants Phil. But it's tough hiding that you're in love. And it's tough when jealousy takes over. Will they make it?

"Are you insane or are you just that broken?" he whispered, his face inches from mine. "I'm a little bit of both," I admitted, looking into his eyes. "A trip into my mind would be a trip into a nightmare."

"Don't leave me Phil" - Dan Howell is crazy. Plain crazy. When his parents send him to therapy camp. He sees things. Or more like he sees people. When he befriends a boy named Phil will Dan know the truth about him? Is Phil real? Or is he just another character in Dans messed up head? This is really short and sad so enjoy

Phil, If you're reading this. I want you to know that I love you so much. I'm so sorry. -Dan •story is complete•

Beating hearts. Sliced skin. Shallow breaths and a feeling of love. That was what we were. "You had a heart made of glass and eyes that only saw stars. You were a canvas soaked in color. Vivid memories and passion saturated your bones. You made me feel."
