"Are you a virgin?" "Sir, is that appropriate?" ____

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.

after dan howell is diagnosed with depression, his parents seek him help - but not in the way he may have expected. he's partnered up with phil lester online, someone who supposedly knows about mental health, with one instruction: text him. ❝ amazingphil : i just wanna be your friend danisnotonfire: how the hell is that going to help me? danisnotonfire: i'm depressed, not lonely amazingphil : just you wait, howell. ❞ minor swearing. lower caps intended.
