Sweet jesus. Punk edits will be the death of me.

"Surprise? What kind of surprise?" I looked at Dan, kind of confused.
"Okay, well..." He started to explain, but got cut off by his cellphone ringing. He sighed heavily, then took it out of his pocket.
"Ugh. One minute, (y/n)." He quickly kissed me on the cheek and answered his phone while walking into the hall, closing the door behind him.
I sat on the bed in silence for a few minutes, when I heard Dan talking in the hallway.
"I can't right now! (Y/n) is over in the next room!" He told whoever he was on the phone with. My stomach churned a little.
'Could... could Dan be cheating on me? No! Don't even think that (y/n). You're just getting paranoid over nothing, of course he's not cheating on you. You can trust him.'
I tried to ignore the feeling, but there was still that small bit of worry in the back of my head. After a few more minutes, Dan came back in and sat down on the bed beside me, taking my hands in his.
"Okay... uh.. where was I?" He looked down at his feet, thinking.
"The surprise?" I reminded him.
"Right right right. Okay.." He took a deep breath in and looked into my eyes.
"So... your birthday is in a few days... and I was kind of struggling on an idea of what to get you. Now I know you said you didn't want anything big or expensive... but I think you will love it, and it's completely worth it." Dan let go of my hands and pulled out an envelope from the inside of his jacket. He handed it to me.
I looked up at him before carefully sliding open the envelope with my fingers. Once it was open, I pulled out the contents and looked at them.
"... Tickets?" I looked up at Dan.
"Plane tickets. For California." Dan looked back at me with hopeful eyes.
I didn't say anything, just stared at the tickets in disbelief.
"You said that you didn't want a big party or anything, and I remember you kept saying that you would love to go and visit your family, so... I figured this would be perfect." He placed his hand on my thigh and smiled at me.
When I still didn't say anything, Dan looked a little worried.
"Do you not like it?" He sounded discouraged.
I looked up and gave him a big smile.
"...Of course I do! Thank you so much Dan, this is amazing!"
I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him into a big hug. He was surprised at first, but then hugged me back tightly.
"I'm glad." Dan pulled away from me, only to lean back in with a kiss.
"I already called your mum, so her and Nathan both know. And I hope you don't mind, but I invited Phil to come with us, I thought Nathan would've wanted to meet him too." Dan held my hands in his.
"I don't mind at all!" I beamed. He smiled sweetly, then turned it into a bit of a frown.
"I'm sorry I pretty much left you all week. I was trying to get the tickets and sort everything out in time, that's why I was away everyday. I didn't mean to ignore you." Dan looked down to his lap.
Just seeing how much he was trying made me ten times happier.
I felt really guilty, Dan had been working his butt of just to make me happy, and here I was accusing him of cheating on me.
I squeezed Dans hands and looked up at him.
"Don't be sorry. You make me so happy Dan, just seeing how much you've been thinking about me is amazing. I love you, so much." I cupped his face in my hands and kissed him gently, loving the feeling of his soft lips on mine.
We both reluctantly pulled away and stared into each others eyes. After a couple seconds, the two of us broke into smiles.
"Too cheesy?" I asked him, giggling.
"Little bit, but if it's you I don't mind." Dan chuckled and kissed my cheek gently.
We started talking about the trip.
"When is the flight, anyway?" I asked Dan.
"About that.... the flight leaves tomorrow night..." Dan smiled and made a cringey face. "I meant to tell you earlier, but there were some problems with the airline and stuff..."
I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"Then I guess we have a lot of packing to do tomorrow."
~~next morning~~
Dan had made me get up early to start packing, as we were going to be in California for almost two weeks. Of course Phil already had his bags packed, he knew about this trip days before I did. We had to be at the airport by five pm, and the plane was leaving at eight the same night.
Once we had gotten all of our stuff shoved into our suitcases, it was nearly four pm. Dan called a taxi on his phone, and we started towards the airport.
I guess Dan had decided he was going to vlog this trip, as we were walking down to our gate the pulled out his camera and started recording.
"Hey guys! I'm here walking down this endless airport walkway with Phil and (y/n)!" He pointed the camera over to Phil and I. We both cheerfully waved.
"We're about to get on the plane, for uh.. how long is the flight?" Dan questioned us.
"I think it's eight hours." Phil told Dan.
Dan groaned and I giggled.
~~Dans POV~~
We lazily sat around in the chairs outside of our plane gate when eight o'clock finally came around.
We started to board the plane, and searched for our seats. Phil pointed them out, and we started putting our carry ons in the compartment above.
I was glad we all got to sit together. I got the window seat, (y/n) was in the middle and Phil sat in the isle seat. The plane was soon taking off, which meant we had to turn off any electrical devices. I quickly turned off my camera and shoved it into my bag at my feet.
~~~~~~
About an hour into the flight, I was allowed to use my camera again. I pulled it out of my bag and turned it on.
While I was waiting for it to start up, I noticed (y/n) had fallen asleep, her head resting against my shoulder.
She was wearing one of my hoodies, which made her look twice as small as she actually is, considering how big it is on her. She had the sleeves pulled up over her hands, and her hands were half covering her face and half resting on me. I giggled quietly at her.
Once my camera turned on, I hit record.
"So only an hour into the flight, and (y/n) has already fallen asleep on me." I pointed the camera towards her sleeping face.
Phil chuckled.
"It's too bad we don't have any markers." He grinned mischievously.
I held the camera with my left hand and started to poke (y/n)s nose with my other. She quickly shooed my hand away, but I kept provoking her.
Phil and I let out quiet laughs.
"She's going to kill us when she sees this." I joked while looking at her. "She does look adorable when she's sleeping though. Don't you guys agree?" I held the lens closer to (y/n)s face.
"Like a little kitten." Phil whispered and smiled.
After I vlogged a bit more, I put my camera back. I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep for atleast a couple more hours, and Phil and (y/n) were out cold.
I couldn't exactly stand up to get my laptop out of my suitcase, (y/n) was still sleeping on my arm. I sat up a bit to grab my phone out of my pocket and started scrolling through twitter.

~~your POV~~
A few hours later I slowly started to wake up. I peeked open my eyes and stared at the cream coloured seat in front of me. I could feel Dans head resting ontop of mine. My smile quickly turned into a yawn, and Dan fidgeted around in his seat, lifting his head off me.
He yawned, then opened his heavy eyelids.
"Mnn..." Dan groaned, then fit his head into my neck. "How much longer?" He half whispered to me.
I took my phone out of my pocket and looked at the time. It said it was almost three am in London, so the flight had around an hour left.
"A little over an hour." I whispered back, laying my head on his.
Dan held my hand in his and we sat in silence for a few minutes.
"You know how amazing you are right?" I said as I played with Dans fingers. "For going to all this trouble, just for me. I don't think I'm worth all of this."
Dan let out a small laugh.
"(Y/n), don't say such stupid things. Of course you're worth it. Why would I do all of this for someone I didn't care about? Don't doubt yourself so much." Dan told me.
I smiled and lifted my head up to kiss his forehead.
Dan and I couldn't fall back asleep, so we sat in the uncomfortable seats and just talked for the rest of the flight.
When the attendant came on the intercom to say we were about to land, I woke Phil up.
As we were landing, I squeezed Dans hand pretty tightly. I was fine with flying, it was just the landing part that was problem for me. I relaxed once we had hit the ground.
The three of us got our bags, and quickly left the plane.
~~~~
"Daaaan, hurry up. I'm tired and I wanna sleep." I pouted and gave a deep yawn.
"It's not my fault they lost my suitcase." Dan smiled over at me and Phil while he stood waiting for security to bring back his bag.
I sighed heavily, then plopped my head down on Phils shoulder. Phil quietly giggled and wrapped his arm around me.
When Dan finally got his suitcase, we called a taxi. We decided to stay at a hotel tonight, all of us were super tired and didn't want to drive all the way from LAX. It was also pretty late, we didn't want to bother my mom by barging in at six in the morning.
The cab pulled up to the hotel we would be staying in, and the driver helped us get our luggage out of the trunk.
Phil talked to the receptionist and got the keys to our room, which thankfully had two beds. We headed up to the third floor, and Phil unlocked the door.
Dan took a few steps in and dropped all of his bags around him, then leaped onto one of the beds with his arms and legs spread out like a starfish.
"What are you, six?" Phil chuckled at Dan as he placed his bags on the floor near the other bed.
"Yes I am. (Y/n), come cuddle me." Dan lifted his arms up motioning for me to hug him.
"Not until you go take a bath, you smell." I laughed and put my suitcase on the floor as he scowled at me.
"Fine. But I'm not going to be happy about it." Dan pouted as he stood up and walked over to the bathroom. Phil and I laughed.
As Dan was in the bathroom, Phil and I were talking.
"So how many people knew about this trip before I did?" I questioned.
"Oh, not many. Just me, your mum, your brother, Chris, PJ..." Phil replied.
"So pretty much everybody." I smiled.
"Yep, pretty much." Phil laughed.
Dan finally finished in the shower and plopped down on the bed beside me.
"Welcome back, my little hobbit." I teased as I ruffled Dans curly hair. Phil chuckled from the other bed.
"Haha, very funny." Dan replied sarcastically. "We should get some sleep, we have to get up early tomorrow if we want to make it there by twelve."
He pulled the covers up over us and wrapped his arms around me. Phil reached over and flicked the lamp off, leaving the room in darkness. I soon fell asleep, both excited and nervous for the morning.
