You Belong With Me (Dan and Phil x Reader)

You were soaring by the time you got home, the number of butterflies flying in your stomach were insurmountable but you didn't mind. You made progress, actual progress, and you were happy. There wasn't a star in heaven that you couldn't reach.

After the movie ended, you and Dan decided to take a walk in the scenic part of town, just enjoying each other's company and talking about random subjects. It was cold and you had forgotten a hat, but you would not have changed it for anything.

You felt like you got to know Dan better now. His dreams, ambitions, views of the future...of course, you had to cut that conversation short before he had another existential crisis, but it was a good talk.

Being a Youtuber was somewhat of a foreign concept to you, you could never ever imagine yourself being one and having to deal with the fame. Though you also had a fanbase of sorts, it was targeted towards a very specific audience and you hid your face behind blog posts.

Sure, you had a profile picture, but that was it. Your interactions with fans was not as intimate like Dan and Phil. The thought of it almost scared you. You thought it was courageous and amazing for Dan to put himself out there like that on the Internet for all to see.

Overall, the night ended on a lovely note that you could not have imagined yourself.
-----

You and Dan had parted ways for no more than an hour or so when you heard a knock on your door. Still on a high from having a good time with him, you skipped to the door and pulled it open without a second thought. When you discovered it was Phil, you threw your arms around his neck and pulled him down for a hug.

"Phil!" you exclaimed, using your arms to pull him into your flat completely. 

"H-hello, (Y/N)!" he managed to say, sounding a little surprised. He stumbled over your threshold, laughing as he wrapped his arms around your waist and hugged you back. You used your foot to kick the door close. "I'm assuming the date was awesome?"

You released him from your hold, arms resting on his shoulders, and looked up at him with a twinkle in your eye, "More than awesome."

"I was getting a little worried," he said. "You didn't text me any updates at all."

"Well, that's because it was just going so smoothly, Phillip Lester, and I didn't have the time to text you," you said with a huge smile on your face. You gave him another tight hug before letting go. Phil let go of your waist and you turned to walk into your kitchen. "Do you want something to drink or eat?" you asked.

"Oh no, I'm fine, I just came over to ask how everything went!"

You grabbed a chocolate bar off the counter and pivoted, skipping back to your sofa and dropping yourself on it. You sprawled yourself across it . "Didn't Dan tell you?" you asked in a frivolous tone, happily unwrapping your treat.

Phil walked over and lifted your legs so he could seat down, resting them across his lap. "Well he did, but I wanted to hear your side too. It sounds like you made a lot of progress."

"Yeah, this is a nice contrast from the Starbucks Incident..."

For the next fifteen minutes, you told Phil in detail everything you and Dan had done for the day. The lunch, meeting Samantha, the horror movie, the walk home, and all the physical contact that was made. You felt closer to Dan more now than ever.

"Speaking of Samantha," you started, thinking back to the chance encounter. Your euphoria started to subside as you remembered how she and Dan acted around one another. They just seemed too...comfortable.

Almost flirty, you said to yourself. You instantly regretted that thought and shook it out of your head, not wanting to upset yourself after having such a good day.

It's all in my head. Phil told me he wasn't interested in anyone.

"What about her?" Phil asked, waiting for you to continue.

"Oh! Right, sorry," you laughed softly. "She invited me to go to the party tomorrow."

"Ah, did she? That's funny because I was..." Phil's voice trailed off. You lifted your head to look up at him. "Oh, I was saying that that's funny because I was going to invite you. Too. Yeah, I was going to invite you, too."

You lifted yourself up so you were facing Phil at eye level, not bothering to move your legs. "Really?" you asked, pursing your lips together. "Isn't it just for Youtubers?"

"It doesn't really matter, to be honest," he shrugged.

"I'm a little hesitant..."

He turned to you, "Why?"

You glanced down, nibbling at your chocolate bar, "Remember the social anxiety thing I told you about..." you mumbled.

"Oh, (Y/N)!" Phil said your name with a reassuring tone, leaning his head sideways to give you a playful boop. "Don't worry about that, you'll have me and Dan!"

"Yeah, but..."

You looked up to meet Phil's blue eyes. You didn't really want to go, though Dan and Phil apparently wanted you to. It would be a nice opportunity to hang out with Dan again especially after today.

"Of course, don't come if you don't want to. Do whatever makes you happy."

You smiled, not saying anything, thinking. What should I do? I shouldn't miss this chance because I'm afraid. What are the pros and cons to this?

"...I'm indecisive," you admitted, sighing.

Phil nodded, "Well, how about this. Say you come, right? And if at any moment you decide you don't want to be there anymore, I'll leave with you. Matter of fact, I won't ever leave your side."

"Oh, Phil, you don't have to," you replied, almost surprised at his generous offer. He truly was a beautiful person with a kind heart. It put a smile on your face.

"It's not a problem at all," he said. "And besides, you don't have to make a decision now. You could sleep on it."

You shook your head, "No, I'll go."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. If I go, I can further our plan, right?"

"Pla--oh, yes! With Dan."

"And considering how you two are big Youtubers and we are friends, I should probably try to familiarise myself with some of the things you do and other Youtubers, I guess."

Phil nodded, a small smile on his face. "It'll be fun," he said. When you didn't respond right away he slowly raised his hands and made a heart.

Giggling, you raised yours and made a heart back. "Yeah, I hope so."
