In Another Life (Dan and Phil X Reader)

"I'm so excited, Phil! Are you so excited?" "Yes, (Y/N), I'm excited."
You were bouncing up and down in the passenger's seat of the car as Phil drove with you to the YouTube convention. It was called Tube Con.
After nearly bawling your eyes out at Louise's house the day before, you'd decided to finally research some nearby YouTube conventions. You hadn't had much time last night, as Dan had kept you busy... Just thinking about it made you blush.
So that morning, you'd woken up earlier than usual to hop on your laptop and research. You were relieved to find that this new convention, Tube Con, was in town, but a little concerned as well. Would Phil be willing to go with you on a moment's notice?
You should have known better. "That's a great idea, (Y/N)!" Phil said instantly, beaming. "And I know I promised you a while back that I'd meet up with this Dan Howell. Do you know if he'll be there?" Your heart seized in a moment of panic. "I don't know!" You should have mentioned the convention to Dan yesterday when you'd had the chance. Then again, you hadn't really had the chance...
You checked on Twitter, and saw with surprise that Dan had tweeted about how he was going to Tube Con. The YouTube angels must be watching over you today. "See you guys there!" the tweet said. "You'll be able to spot me because I'm so tall. Or because I'll be the one crying in the corner."
"Good news Phil! He'll be there!" you said excitedly. "Okay. If it'll make you happy, (Y/N), I'll go talk to him. Besides, I haven't been to a convention in a while. But you're not still trying to set me up with him, are you? You know that I love you."
"I was never trying to set you up," you said with a smile. "Just checking."
Phil walked over to you and gave you a gentle kiss on the forehead. Even after the two of you had realized the extent of your feelings for each other, Phil continued to give you those tantalizing little forehead and nose kisses. "Can't I get more than that?" you whined as he pulled away. "Later," Phil said, and walked away, chuckling to himself. "I'm going to gather some video equipment. You get your stuff ready, too."
You stood up quickly. "Phil Lester! What do you mean, later?"
Phil poked his head out from his bedroom doorway.
"(Y/N), you have a dirty mind! I just meant... Well... Okay, come here."
You rushed over to Phil, and this time he gave you a real kiss. "Is that better?" You smirked. "Yep!"
You gathered your video equipment, but you didn't bring everything. You didn't want to lug unnecessary devices around. You put your main video camera and a few backup items into a simple black bag.
Since Phil wasn't as famous in the Philiverse as he was back in your world, he wouldn't have a panel or anything like that. The two of you were attending the convention as visitors, like everyone else. You might get asked for a few autographs and pictures, if you were lucky.
"Phil, should I cosplay?" you asked, checking the back of your closet. Your collection of cosplays still hung there, and most of them had never been worn. Since your mom was against you participating in "weird" activities like cosplaying, you didn't go to conventions very often. Your mom always said the word "cosplaying" with such a condescending tone. You could still hear her voice... "Dressing up is only for little children or for Halloween, (Y/N). Grow up."
You hated it.
"If you want to cosplay, I won't stop you!" Phil shouted back. The dark shadow that had fallen over your heart in remembering your real life lifted as soon as Phil spoke. His rays of sunshine pierced through, and the shadows shied away in fear. You took in a deep breath. "No, it's okay. I won't. This is a YouTube convention, not an anime convention," you mumbled, half to yourself.
You resorted to doing your hair and makeup in your usual look- no crazy wigs or face paint this time.
Now the two of you were on your way to the con, and you could hardly contain your excitement. You hadn't been to one in so long, and you were here with one of two people you loved most in the world.
Phil had let you plug your iPod into the car's radio, and you were shuffling through your playlist of songs that included Panic! At The Disco, Fall Out Boy, twenty one pilots, and My Chemical Romance.
Phil knew almost every song that came on, which made you extremely happy. The two of you had such similar interests and tastes in music.
You were humming along to twenty one pilots "Heathens", and paused for a minute to stare out the window and think. Twenty one pilots songs had the tendency to put you in a thinking mood.
This day was going to be life-changing for you. It was going to be life-changing for the whole world. You were bringing Dan Howell and Phil Lester together. Somehow, you'd messed up their lives- you still weren't sure why. One moment, you were falling asleep in your own bed, and the next, you were thrown into Dan and Phil's lives.
Well, now it was your job to fix it. It was destiny. You needed Dan. You needed Phil. But the world needed them together even more.
Right? Were you doing the right thing?
You tried to remember what Louise had said to you, about being strong and following your heart.
"Phil," you began carefully. You'd asked Dan about the alternate universe idea, and he'd laughed it off. Maybe Phil would take it more seriously. "Hm?" he turned to look at you, attentive as always, his blue eyes piercing.
"What do you think about alternate universes?"
"What do you mean?"
"Is it a possibility? Like, could we be in an alternate universe right now? Maybe there's another world where you and I have never met."
Phil sighed. "I hope not. That would be a very sad world indeed."
You looked down at your hands sadly, interlacing your fingers. "Yea. It would be."
