{Sequel to Before You Leave} ❝After I left, there was so many things that hit me and that I realized. One of those things was that I missed you.❞

you're the color of everything that's ever meant anything

"The less you care, the happier you are." He turned to face me, his blue eyes dull with traces of betrayal. "No. The less you care, the lonelier you are." - In a world where people have the ability to flip an emotions switch, many people lack feelings and sympathy in general- including Dan Howell after a tragedy strikes and he can't take it. However, he meets Phil Lester, the outgoing flirt with too big of a heart to handle. The two become close, and Dan soon realizes that even with his switch off, he can't deny that Phil is slowly reaching to turn it back on, and Dan can't seem to push his hand away.

Saw this on Tumblr, decided to make this and see where it went. A rap battle featuring 2009!Dan, 2009!Phil, 2015!Dan, 2015!Phil, Dil, and the Lion.

Phil Lester is sweet and cute; known for his kindness and enthusiasm. Dan Howell is a tough, cold outsider; known as the school's stereotypical 'bad boy'. But if he's so bad, then why on earth did he rescue Phil Lester and give him a smile which would melt anyone's heart?

Dan Howell and Phil Lester have said over and over that "Phan" is not real, and they have never been in a relationship together. They swear it; not even once. But behind the YouTube videos, BBC 1 radio shows and YouNows, what do Dan and Phil do in their private time? Are the fan-theories closer to the truth than Dan and Phil would like to even admit? With so much information about their lives available on the Internet, can they be allowed to keep one little secret?

Dan. Kind of there, kind of not. Mostly just sad and lonely. Phil. New at school. They say opposites attract, like magnets. Don't they? (I'm in the process of re-writing this so if you see variations in quality please bear with me) *TRIGGER WARNING* Depression, self harm, mentions of suicide.

It's high school, and Dan has always been home schooled. When he gets to his new school as a freshman, he is instantly pushed aside as an outcast. The whole reason he was put into public school was his parents were moving away to live with his grandfather who was sick. So, he was to live with his dad's friend who also had a son his age. Phil was also an outcast, but he got along alright in school. Having to live with Phil and Phil's dad who was gone half the time, Dan and Phil get to know each other quite well. They soon bond over many things and Dan realizes he has feelings for Phil. But will Phil feel the same way? Will it work out? Or will Dan find someone else through the ups and downs? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~•3•~~~~~~~~~~~ This is my first Phan-fiction. Reading other ones gave me ideas. I just wanted to try it, let's see how/if this works out!
