Dan and Phil are hiding things from each other, something friends should never do to have a healthy platonic relationship.
Dan has been suffering with his feelings in the years he's met Phil. It seemed like a simple crush at first, something that could blow over as easily as a house of cards. But, it's not that simple. Because, when is it ever? But he thinks the feelings have dissipated, been banished from existence. He's ready to move on and get out there in the world.
Phil has been keeping secrets from Dan for as long as he can remember knowing him. He doesn't mean to, really, the lies just built up over time. But eventually, everything will change. The lies that Phil has worked hard to hide will be revealed, once and for all.
And everything started on the Fourth of July.
So this story is a semi-sequel to my Ianthony story, Love Me Like You Do. It is not a necessity to read that story first if you don't want to, but it does explain a lot.

Happy Little Phil, Take Dan Away // Phan
It all started with that kiss, that moment and that passion when Dan became lost and Phil was clueless but both in love. The story of a skinny love that slowly becomes into something more and at the same time something less. *Note* Depression, suicide, self-harm and things like this will be mentioned a few times in this phan fiction and it shouldn't be triggering in any way but if it is, I apologize in advanced! Also, I wrote this a while ago now and my writing, grammar and spelling weren't the best so please excuse that. Enjoy!Complete

Smile, Dan
DISCLAIMER: This story is mature because it will have some self harm in it. It will also have some swearing due to that's how Dan actually talks. This is not about Phan being real. I'm sorry to disappoint you. Now onto what it is really about: Dan Howell is becoming more and more depressed. His family, his community, not even his best friend, Phil Lester, can help him. He believes he's a lost cause, and he's a mistake. He tries to hide it best he can, but some nights, it's just too much. During this, he's lost his will to smile. He'll fake smiles for videos and pictures, but he's lost a reason to genuinely smile.Complete
