Dan from Law,

Phil from Media & Editing

is that how it goes? it’s been so long i forgor…

hey poo poos. its been a while, huh…i know, i know, i said i’d publish this the FIRST OF DECEMBER…but ya boy was a bit busy, gimme a breaaaak. anyways…here with a longer chapter to make up for it. enjoy. no smut. just a buncha gay boys and angst. as usual, tags under the cut :3

AO3 LINK

MASTERLIST OF THE CHAPTERS

jump scare, heart eyes howell

Tags :

Basically just fluff, a bit of angst. Mentions of Dan being outted, Dan having a sliiight panic attack?, Phil is allergic asf to cats, ADORABLE CAAATTTSSS, enjoy poo poos xox

Dan and Phil had exchanged numbers after around 30 minutes of talking on Grindr. Dan was just managing to wrap his head around the fact that fucking Phil was some variation of queer. Then, Phil proposed they meet up. For a date. Phil wanted Dan. Whether it was romantic or platonic, Dan was never going to reject that.

It was around midday by now, a little too late to go to a café because of the daylight savings, so they arranged to meet somewhere called ‘La Chat’. It was some French cat café, something that Dan couldn’t afford, but he’d be damned if he didn’t dig into his savings for this “date” with Phil. This might be his only opportunity.

Phil had been texting Dan about how he’d “have to slam back 10 antihistamines" because he’s allergic, but that he didn't mind because he would "rather die than not visit a cat café at all possible opportunities.’’

So, Phil was taking Dan out on yet another coffee date, and he didn't care about the fact that he was going to be sniffling the entire time. And goddamnit, Dan didn’t care either.

The next day, Dan woke up, showered, put on his ugliest knitted sweater as he thought it would beautifully fit the theme (it did) and some fuck ass jeans that most definitely didn’t fit him but were the only pair on his floor that weren’t, like, completely dirty, and then drove towards the cafe.

When he was in the shower earlier that same morning, he had debated not straightening his hair but leaving it, keeping it natural. That’s what his mother always used to say, ‘Girls want you naturally, Daniel’, but he quickly shot down the idea. What did his mother know? Anyway, no girl ever wanted him, naturally or not, so he decided on straightening his hair down. It was all he knew, after all.

His heart was pounding the entire time while he drove, his head a mess and his forehead just a ‘tiny’ bit sweaty, which only helped to slick his hair down to be even more pinstraight, even if it looked a little unnatural.

Maybe, in Dan’s dream world, when Phil and him had been together for a few months, he would let him see his hair. The way it looked just so shockingly different curled, how his fringe looked shorter when he didn’t use his shitty poundland-fake version of a GHD straightener to burn his hair to a crisp. Maybe, if Phil didn’t up and leave after a week or so of Daniel’s messed up self -- his self esteem issues, his bi-weekly existential crises’, his problems with procrastination despite his perfectionist mindset -- maybe he’d let Phil in. Maybe, just maybe, he’d let Phil see him, the imperfection of his hair caused by the years of heat damage.

Possibly.

–

Dan’s shitty ford fiesta slows down to a stop a few feet away from ‘La Chat’. Well, where maps said it was anyway. Dan had never come down this part of London, this was the ‘fancier’ part of London. It wasn’t ever really in Dan’s price range, and it was about a 20 minute diversion from the only route he went out in his car (his commute to work), so he had never seen the street the cafe was down, didn’t even recognise the name of the street, let alone know his own way to the cafe.

Dan was apprehensive to get out of his car, and, momentarily, he felt trapped. Trapped within a 1.1 tonne lump of pissing metal. Trapped within a moving death machine, but it felt safe. Safer than going outside, safer than going into that cafe. Safer than the possibility that Phil would stand him up. Safer than the fact this might’ve all been a lie, that the same thing that happened in Wokingham when he was 17 would repeat, that everyone would find he’s…whatever he is, gay, queer, it didn’t matter. He wanted to keep this a secret, a thing he would keep locked away until the guilt of it all was overpowered by stupid lust, until he didn’t care. But Phil, the mere idea of Phil, made that guilt slowly dissipate.

He took a large breath and refused to let it leave until he stepped out the car. After about 4 seconds, he climbed his awkwardly lanky body out of his shitty fiesta and he exhaled. It would be okay. Phil seemed nice, the idea of Phil and coffee seemed concrete, correct. In his mind, if Phil really wanted to stand him up, then he would pick somewhere shittier, - a bar, possibly - a place Phil wouldn’t regularly go to, not a cafe. Dan didn’t know a lot about Phil, but he knew he liked - loved - coffee.

Dan took a few steps, then he saw one of those foldable chalkboards with a ginger cat drawn in chalk with ‘’Sandwich + Milkshake for £12 every Tuesday, 4-6’’ next to it, written in blue chalk.

And then, without even having to look up and see the ‘Le Chat’ sign above the cafe and its large windows, he knew he was in the correct place. Expensive food, expensive drinks, shitty deals.

He looks up, still at least 5 steps from the door. His heart pounded even harder than it already was, from leaving the safe confines of his car, when he saw Phil in one of the booth’s near the window. He intently watched Phil for a few moments, watching – studying – what he did when he was alone.

Phil stood up inside the cafe, walking towards the male bathrooms. Dan watched him sneeze once, then again, then bump into a tall woman, wearing the ‘La Chat’ uniform, with a sandwich in her arms on a plate. The woman proceeded to drop the plate and Phil was apologising, while he continued to sneeze. A cat jumped atop of his table, poking its paw innocently in his cup, getting cat hair all in his coffee.

The whole scene was chaotic, yet it calmed Dan’s nerves as he stepped closer to the cafe. Chaos was regular for Dan, calmed him, made the world feel a bit more real, less worrying. Phil might be able to possibly size up to how chaotic he was. Possibly. Probably not, but possibly.

Dan watches as Phil stumbles off to the bathroom. He walks into the Cafe, hearing a little dingle above him from a bell attached to the door. No one looks over, relievingly. Except a waitress, the same waitress that Phil had knocked over.

‘’Hello. Do you need a seat?’’ She says. Dan shakes his head, ‘’No, I’m meeting someone. They’re already here. Thanks.’’ Dan internally cringed and slapped himself for saying ‘They’re’ instead of ‘he’s’. He was trying to get over the embarrassment of being gay, or whatever he was, and fixing small bits in how he spoke was a step in that direction; it just wasn’t that easy. At all.

The woman nods and walks into the back of the kitchen, presumably to ring in another sandwich to replace the one Phil had made her drop. Dan walks towards the booth that Phil `had been sitting at. There was a ginger cat on the table, splayed out, belly-up to the ceiling.

“God, I’d love to be a cat for a day.” A familiar voice spoke behind him as he sat down at the booth. He turned his head to his left, and there was Phil. Dan flashes Phil his most ‘I didn’t nearly cry in the car over here’ smile, which ended up being an awkward smile, but it got his whole ‘I’m happy to be here’ idea across, which was what he wanted.

Sam reacts to: Do NOT read these cards out loud - Dan and Phil play Incohearent

Full disclosure this is my second watch. My first one was me fighting for my life in my bathtub because I was laughing so hard and kept almost drowning.

- Dan affirming the phil trash #1 status by pointing out the quiff before any of us even had a second to notice it.

- Dan warned us they would get demonetized and YET truly nothing could prepare you for this video.

- Glad phil noticed, same as all of tumblr, that they keep mentioning swinging AND WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOFTLAUNCH DANIEL? (Which literally is just him saying they are a couple which thanks Dan)

- Dan already with the heart eyes, he is making the name heart eyes howell really proud lately (the heart eyes not leave for a single second the entire video).

- I think I have to join the "they smoke weed" agenda now because there is no other way to interpret Dan's cheeky smile at the 4/20 card.

- Literally what makes me laugh most isn't the cards bur Dan laughing? His smile is so infectious it makes me belly laugh seeing him grin at the camera, eyes all but disappeared and just leaning back in the chair holding his stomach from laughter.

- "Oh I wonder why!" THE LOOK DAN GAVE PHIL I AM CRYING

- The way there is no competition and they are just so excited to see the other say weird shit, especially now that we have 'new Phil'.

- Phil never giving Dan the hints is so fucking funny to me, like I think he doesn't do it intentionally and just forgets they exist lmao.

- Dan just wanted to play this to see Phil get flustered by saying kinky shit let's be honest, but in the end Dan gets more flustered over it than Phil does.

- "There is no way this is gonna be monetized." No shit sherlock

- The way they keep making eye contact 😳

- "I know there are certain words you cannot say on youtube" "We're gonna find them out today!"

- "Okay Phil this one goes out to you" - Power Bottom GENUINELY WHAT THE FUCK DANIEL WHO ASKED WHO THE FUCK ASKED (We know entirely too much about their sex life by now stg)

- I am afraid for their editors sanity after gamingmas I will be honest, because the same person has now edited so many of their absolutely horny videos and we're only on day 9.

- Dan leaning back in his chair when laughing is so funny in itself like I am worried every time he will fall off because he's laughing so much.

- I could feel Dan falling more in love with Phil with every single one these, like you could tell that he is down horrendously bad which is just adorable.

- I am with you Dan, I literally cried laughing.

No they are wrong we all WON, this was the funniest fucking video they have ever made I almost drowned, I cried, I can't stop laughing still. Thank you for this beautiful piece of media.

[lobotomist-at-claires]

heyy yall! i am humbly requesting an rb/reply with your favorite heart eyes howell / husband energy / etc moments from the dnp revival!! i'm cooking up an edit rn and need some clips to supplement what i've already got :3

[phannieconfession]

I love the Heart Eyes Howell/Love Eyes Lester thing as much as anyone, but some of the moments people pick for edits/stills are literally just them looking at the other speaking. Fellas is it gay to look at your bro when he talks

...🤔

[scuddleduck]

Has anyone done a heart eyes Howell looking at Phil edit to Bruno Mars' Just the Way You Are? I heard the song at the grocery store and now I need it, for...personal...reasons.

[pseudophan]

What convinced me they were together was when I was 12 back in 2013 and I had no social media except iFunny on my kindle (for some reason) and I would scroll thru tumblr posts and I saw an image of heart eyes Howell and I, at 12 years old, who had heard of gay people maybe 3 times up till then, was like damn he is in love with that man. I need to learn more. And I did. And I’m still here because of it

this is kind of exactly what happened to me except it was phan edits in 2012. i was just a gilmore girls fan shipping heterosexual tv couples, had no fucking idea i was gay and honestly hadn't really encountered anything at all about gay people ever except like.. random side characters here and there. the concept didn't really even exist in my mind at all. and then i see a new twitter mutual post their phan edit and i'm like oh i like editing i'll watch this idk who these people are though :) and immediately i was like. well something's up here. i'm only half aware what "gay" is but this certainly seems to be it. and i started watching their videos and it all just snowballed and suddenly i'm 25

[niamhthefae]

ooh i have some ideas!

Dalien, punk edits in real life/ pastel x punk, the pheal,the golden pig, ANY of the silly halloween outfits from this years spooky week, 2009 pinof phan, heart eyes howell and love eyes lester, cat and bear.
