Description
It had been about a month since you had moved in with Dan and Phil.

Lately you had noticed Dan acting a little odd. He seemed fine, so you didn’t think he was having another existential crisis, but he had begun looking at Phil really weirdly a lot, as if they both knew something you didn’t. Anytime he spoke to you, he got really flustered and blushed way more than you had ever seen him do before. You were thinking about this a lot, and as you sat watching Death Note for the fifteenth time, you could hear a strange muttering coming from Phil’s room. You get up, walked into the hall, and pressed your ear to the wall just outside his door.

“I don’t think I can tell her Phil. I like her, but I don’t want to ruin what we have now.” You hear Dan say, and you slide down the wall, hurt. Dan likes someone. You had fancied him for years, and after you guys met, and you found out he watched your channel too, you became fast friends, but you had secretly wished that he would like you back. But why would he? You then remember that the boys on the other side of the wall were still talking, and you pressed your ear up to it once more, only to catch Phil’s voice.

“Come on mate. You’ve fancied her for a few months now. You have to make your move. It’s pretty clear that she likes you too. Just go for it.”

Who does Dan like? You suddenly feel sick, and decide to go back to your room, not really wanting to know. As you turn however, you pocket begins to buzz, and you realise that the loud bleeping you now hear is coming from your phone. You turn it off and attempt a dash to your room, so as to not let the boys know that you were eaves dropping on them, but it was too late, as a hand grabs your arm, and you turn to see the tall figure that is Dan towering over you, looking worried.

“Y/N? What are you doing out here? Wait a minute. What did you hear?” he asks you, terror in his voice. You look behind him to see Phil sniggering.

“N-nothing. I was just…. Nothing. Don’t worry.” You reply. You’re glad he doesn’t want to talk about it. You don’t really either.

“Dan fancies someone.” Phil pipes in, and Dan shoots him a glare.

“No. No I don’t! shut up Phil!” Dan says, looking embarrassed, blushing again.

“Ok. Ok. I’m just going back to my room, leave you two alone.” Phil says, smirks, then turns back and closes the door to his room. You look to Dan, and realising that he must really like someone, ask him something you had hoped never to ask him.

“So. What’s she like?”

“What? Who?”

“The girl you fancy. Tell me about her.” You reply, trying not to show on your face the pain this conversation gives you.

“I-“

“Dan. It’s obvious you like someone. Just tell me. Maybe I can help.”

"Ugh. Trust me, you can't. Don't bother."

"Daniel James Howell, if you don't tell me who you fancy right now, i'll-" But you can't finish, because at that moment, Dan had grabbed your arms, pushed you against a wall, and pressed his lips to yours. You stand there in confusion, then begin to kiss him back. after a few seconds of pure bliss, Dan pulls away. You suddenly realise what just happened. Dan Howell, your YouTube idol, best friend and flatmate, just kissed. It all fits. He was talking to Phil about you.

"But, what?" you ask, still very confused by the whole situation.

"What is it?" Dan replies, smiling.

"What was that?"

"I, I like you, Y/N. I have for ages. I didn't-" but this time it's you who cut him off but wrapping your arms around his neck, standing on your toes, and kissing him, as he brings his hands to you waist and kisses you back. Just then, you hear a click, and Phil walks out of his room.

"Hey guys, have you seen my- Woah! Nice job Dan! I can see you two had a little talk. I'll just, um, leave you to that then..." he says, as neither of you break the kiss, merely laughing to each other, as Phil backs out.

"We need to get him a girlfriend, don't we?" You say.

"In a minute, now. Where were we? Oh yes." Dan says, pushing you against the wall again, and kissing you, again, and again.
