(For imagery, your character is around 5"4)
Your Pov

You made your way back, not forgetting to pick up your cereal.

You walked along the pavement thinking about life in general and how you can't wait to get home and go on YouTube.

You're still walking to the store when you see a familiar tall man running along, he was wearing all black and had a familiar hobbit fringe.
Was that Danisnotonfire?

Shut up (Y/N), you'll have to learn that your fantasies are not reality.

As he gets closer and is about to pass you he looks up for a second and you look eyes.
They were dark and chocolatey.

Without a second thought you knew this was Dan.

As he was about to past you you grabbed his wrist and pulled him into a stop.
He looked at you with a sad bit flustered expression.

"Dan, are you alright?" You asked seriously keeping a straight face.
I mean, it was hard considering you were talking to Danisnotonfire.

"D-Do I know you?" He asked stuttering, something was up.

"I'm a fan, but seriously.. what's wrong?"

"I-I can't say.."

"Why, why are you running and crying?" You asked lifting an eyebrow, looking at the way he was running.

There was the cities biggest bridge that way.

He looked down and sulked, "You weren't doing what I was thinking, right?" You asked slowly.

"I-I don't know.."

"The bridge.. were you really going to do that Dan..?"

He nodded ashamed, and then broke down into pure tears.
I'd have never thought I would ever be comforting a 6" stranger, especially Danisnotonfire.
Dan Howell.

"Come and sit down here." You smile, bringing him over to a bench and sitting down beside him.

"I-I really can't tell a fan this information.."

"Okay then," You smile, "My name is (Y/N) and I'm seventeen."

He looked at you and sighed, cracking a slight smile.

"Please Dan, I maybe a fan but I also want to be your friend, you can spill or just call a friend or something.
I do not want to see you going back that way." You explain coldly.

"Thanks (Y/N).." He sighed, you loved him saying your name.

"I have plenty of time, so take your time." You smile, giving him an ushering nod.

"This year so far has been like 2012, getting pressured about people shipping Phan.. and it's gotten too much for me.
I'm sorry, I know I'm a stupid asshole."

"Don't be sorry, you aren't an asshole.
In fact, if it helps.
You stopped me from doing the exact same thing."

"I- what?"

"You saved me from suicide when I was bullied almost four years ago."

"Are you alright now?" Dan asked eagerly, very worried.

"Yeah.. I just want to help you back now." You smiled, before being enveloped in a hug by Dan.

You never thought you would be hugging Dan in this situation.

You pulled away, a bit flustered from an overview of your day today.

"I know this is spoiling the moment and stuff, but could I get your number?" Dan asked pleadingly, he was asking you?

"Uhm.. sure?" You replied questioningly, really surprised that he wanted your number.

"Thanks." He smiled back as you got your phone out.
You gave him your number and shared one last small hug.

"It's getting late. Are you going to head back to your house?"

You nodded, "Promise me you won't sneak off and do that shit, just tell Phil and I know he'll be the best of friends to have with you."

"I promise." He nodded with a smile that made your stomach fill with butterflies.

You both got up and coincidentally ended up going to same way.
"Oh." Dan smirked, you chuckled.

"Lets walk half of the way back then together I guess." Dan laughed, you nodded.

"Oh yeah and I was meant to stop by the shop for cereal because my family keep eating all of it." You chuckled.

"Ah, luckily I restored mine yesterday, no doubt Phil has eaten half of it though." Dan chuckled.

"Yeah, I have to share my house with two brothers and my parents.
I'm going to be moving out soon so that'll be fun I guess." You shrugged with a sigh, it was true.

"Yeah, adulthood is exciting at first.
Not to get your hopes down or anything but then it just gets stressful." Dan shook his head at the thought of it.

"Believe me, I've heard." You chuckled, Dan smiled as you reached the shop.

"I'll see you online then Dan, it was amazing meeting you." You smiled, glancing into his deep chocolatey eyes.

"It was amazing meeting you too, you want to take a picture to document this day?" He asked, he was asking most of the questions you would be asking.

"Sure." You smiled in agreement, whipping out your phone, giving it to Dan as he aimed it up high.
You would do it yourself but as he's taller that would be the better idea.

*Snap*

It was a lovely picture, Dan pulled a weirdly seductive face, not intentionally, that's just what it looked like to you.

"Bye Dan."

"Bye (Y/N), thankyou." He smiled, turning away.
You just stood there watching him walk away with a smile plastered onto your face.

"He's a keeper." An old lady smirked from behind you, you glanced at her with a smile as she hobbled off the other way.

You would never forget this day.
