Dan scurried down the busy streets of London.

Okay- not busy, but in his anxious mind, there were way too many people walking around for it to be comfortable.

His mother had sent him to the market down the street for more bread. And, as a wimpy 16-year-old boy in Manchester, Dan pleaded that this was not her best idea.

But finally, with gathered courage and a “if you sass me one more time, Daniel” in his arsenal, Dan had thrown on his loose zip-up jacket and immediately tucked his headphones into his ears.

Usually, he would simply turn his iPod to My Chemical Romance or Muse, but his favorite youtuber had uploaded his newest video that morning. AmazingPhil’s newest t-shirt design clung to Dan’s toned body as the wind picked up a bit. He clicked on the new video and stuck the mp3 in his pocket. Dan had already seen the video many times that day, so he just stuck to listening to Phil’s sweet voice as he walked down the street.

“Hey, guys!”

Dan beamed at the voice flowing through his headphones. Sure, he lived in the same city as Phil. Sure, Dan was only 16 and Phil was 21, just out of uni. Sure, he had never even met Phil.

But Dan had, what his closest friends referred to as, “the biggest crush ever”.

His heart skipped a beat as he heard the jingly laugh of the youtuber in the video. It quickly dropped as he realized just how far he was from Tesco’s and the flood of people suddenly around him.

Dan’s stomach did flops out of nervousness and his eyes widened. What if he got lost? What if someone was going to take him? What if-?

A hand touched his shoulder.

“AH!” Dan yelped and spun around, managing yanking his headphones out, and socked his attacker square in the arm.

“Yow!” The man cried, grabbing his arm and bending over slightly in pain.

Dan’s eyes shot open, not realizing he had closed them, and looked up.The voice of the man was oddly familiar. Once he reached the man’s face, the brunette took in a loud gasp and blushed a cherry red, bringing his hands to his mouth in shock.

It was Phil.

“Oh my God... Phil, I am SO sorry!”

“Oh, it’s okay!” Phil stood up straight again and rubbed his arm, giving an apologetic smile. “Sorry. I seemed to have scared you.”

Dan blushed, glancing away. “I wasn’t scared! I just was, uhm, caught by surprise.”

“Caught by surprise?”

The brunette let out a laugh. “Yeah, I was feeling kind of paranoid.”

“Ah,” Phil nodded, understanding. “I was actually just trying to get your attention because I noticed your awesome shirt.” He joked.

Dan rose an eyebrow and looked down. His face grew darker as he looked at the AmazingPhil shirt he was wearing.

“Oh, I, uhm...”

“And you’re apparently a pretty big fan, too!”

Phil handed Dan his iPod back, (he didn’t even not that it had fallen from his pocket) which still had Phil’s video playing on it. Dan’s face couldn’t get any redder at this point, causing him to hide his face in his hands.

“I’m so sorry. I’m not a creep; I swear.”

All he heard was a silence before Phil burst out laughing. Dan peeked at Phil through his fingers.

“Oh, I’m not freaked out in the slightest!” Phil covered his mouth to cover the giggles that threatened to spill out. “I’m actually quite flattered! I’d also like to say it’s endearing, because your bashfulness is rather cute.”

Dan looked up at him, a shy smile gracing his lips. “Really?”

Phil nodded. “I never did catch your name, stranger.”

“It’s Dan.”

“Dan? It suits you.” Phil shook Dan’s hand, but didn’t let go when they stopped shaking. “You’re heading to the market too, yeah? How about I walk you there? You know, just to make sure you don’t punch anyone else.” He sent Dan a teasing wink.

Dan finally laughed. “Only if you insist!”

“Then let’s run before it gets ready to rain!”

They both took off down the street, Phil leading Dan through the crowd by their laced fingers, giggles lifting from their voices.

Dan would have to thank his mom later.
My friend's dA journal inspired this.
