" my name's blurry face and I care what you think. " Dan Howell has an unknown condition where he cannot see faces - no matter what he wears or does - they are always a blur. The doctors nicknamed it 'blurry face', and there's absolutely nothing they can do about it; Dan will have to live without faces. That is, until he meets Phil Lester - the 'bad boy' of Dan's new school - who's face is strangely visible to Dan; much to Dan's wonder and Phil's distaste.

A mixture of conversations between Dan and Phil by texts. Enjoy.

To: Phil Phil, it's Dan. Please talk to me. I'm dying here.

Do you ever just feel so, empty? So lost in the words that you want to tell him but you just can't. I need help, I need him to feel my heart. How it beats when he laughs. How it aches when he isn't around. I need him to feel my heart. But what if he can't. What if he doesn't want to. What if he runs from me. How am I supposed to ask him for his help. If he doesn't offer me his hand to help me up. He could easily drop me. And that would be that. But I have to get his attention. I need his help. Dan Howell, Help me, Can you feel my heart?

Through the good and the bad, Dan's new life thrills him and leaves him wondering ...what does it mean to truly be alive? pairs: Phan and KickTheStickz tw: language, sexual content, abuse, depression, death, suicide, medication, drugs, parents, alcohol ENTIRELY WRITTEN FROM DAN'S POV Note: This fic features no main character death, only mentions of death.

Part 1 of the infamous series. Feelings appear. Sparks fly. Love rises. Problems occur. Please note: This story is now very old (7 years old in 2020) and I'd like to think my writing has improved since then! There are a bunch of cringey parts and bad writing in here, but enjoy and thanks for reading! :)
