"Oops, I forgot the questions!"

Dan rolls his eyes. "This video is off to a great start."

Phil quickly opens his phone to pull up the questions for this tag video. "Okay, guys! As you might have guessed from reading the title of this video, Dan and I will be doing the 'Why Did I Get Married Tag' as we were tagged by our friend PJ. You can check out his video by clicking on this box here." Phil gestures to an annotation that pops up.

"Their video was adorable," Dan comments. "Check it out after this one. Don't leave yet. Please."

Phil laughs. "This is just perfect for us, isn't it?"

"Yeah, we're actually married and everything. Look," Dan shows his wedding band to the camera.

"First question: State the date you first met," Phil announces.

Together they recite, "The ninetieth of October, 2009."

"Also known as the 'Phanniversary' for most of you," Dan adds.

"Which is today," Phil nods.

"Wait—Seriously?"

"Yeah, look." Phil shows Dan the date on his phone.

"What'd you get me?" Dan asks.

"My undying love and affection."

"Oh buy one, get one. I love it when you spoil me."

"Only the best for you darling."

Dan rolls his eyes again because Phil's doing that thing where he's trying to be a cheeky sarcastic little shit and Dan loves it. Dan can't help but grin.

"What was your first impression of your partner," Dan reads. "Well, the first time I saw Phil was on YouTube so my first impression was 'Wow, he's so cool. I wanted to know him. Just everything about him made me want to get to know him more. All of the things he did in his videos, the things he talked about."

Phil's obviously blushing like he always does when Dan gets this way. "My first impression of Dan was probably 'I'm glad he's not on fire.'"

Dan pushes him playfully. "Oh shut up."

"No but really," Phil says, "he just seemed so genuinely interested, from the first message he sent me on Twitter. When I met him, it was during a time in my life when so many things were still up in the air and changing so quickly. Uni had just ended and YouTube was becoming more lucrative. He always listened and distracted me for a few hours. Dan was a friend I really needed at that time. So I guess my first impression was that he would be a good listener."

"It's easy though," Dan tells him. "You're one of those people who can solve a problem just by saying it out loud, you just need an audience. Which is probably why making videos was such a good outlet for you."

"That's true. So I liked you because you listened to me and you liked me because I was cool."

"It sounds stupid when you say it like that."

"You looked up to me. It's alright, Dan. Just say it."

"Shut up," Dan giggles.

"What is your favorite thing about your partner?" Phil taps his chin then looks Dan over.

"Keep it PG, Phil."
