Dan's P.O.V.

Scrolling through the comments of both the YouTube video and our Instagram post I smiled. The feedback and all of the comments were so positive and kind, everyone was super excited about it and had spammed all of our social media with so many messages and fanart.

The photo that we had posted of our rings on Instagram was amazingly received and was now the most liked post on both of our Instagrams, as we had posted it twice.

PINOF 10 had also become the most viewed video on our channel almost overnight as it had been news all over the world, even Twitter made it a moment which meant that everyone who had Twitter could see it. YouTube also promoted our video and it quickly became #1 on trending.

A lot of big YouTuber also commented on our video or tweeted about it, Jack, Mark and Felix being some of them. A few people we didn't even know tweeted us saying congratulations and it was amazing seeing the positive feedback.

We had started uploading our Gamingmas videos the day before and they were getting more views than ever before, probably because of what had happened in the days before. Phil did a lot of the editing as he was better at it than me and I tried to help out when I could, but I spent more time with Jay to try and help her out.

She seemed to be doing okay mentally, she didn't seem to be hiding anything and was just struggling to get around now because of her stomach. It was getting harder and harder for her to even walk because she hadn't learnt to use her prosthetic and with her stomach it was getting even more difficult.

"Dan? Can I have some help please?" I stood up and went to the stairs at once, knowing that was where she was.

She was about a quarter of the way up to stairs and clinging onto the banister with all her strength. I ran up the stairs and wrapped my arms around her, letting her lean against me with all her weight and I felt her squeeze my hand in thanks.

"You okay now?" She nodded and I felt her arms go around my waist to help her balance herself.

"Can I have some help going up?" I nodded, lifting her up and swinging her to one side, so I could hold her easier without bumping her stomach or her leg, and then carefully I carried her up the stairs and into her room. I set her down on her bed and she smiled gratefully.

"Thanks Dan." I sat down on the bed beside her and watched as she pulled out her computer, opening Skype and then her conversation with Anais. The two seemed to talk a lot and it was good that they did because it gave her something to do when Phil and I were busy.

"Just ask anytime you need help okay." She nodded before turning her head back to her conversation, where Anais was already talking to her within a few seconds of Jay's first message.

"Phil? Can I have some help please?" Phil looked up and nodded, clambering over to my side of the couch like an awkward giraffe before plonking himself down next to me and taking the laptop from my hands.

I was editing one of the Gamingmas videos, a new Sims one and was struggling, so asking Phil was the best option. He was generally better than me at editing and was the go to whenever I got stuck with something.

"Yeah? Are you stuck?" I nodded, pointing out the part where I was stuck. He smiled. "Okay, okay, give me a few minutes and I'll help out." I smiled in thanks and then curled up into his side, mostly just wanting cuddles.

Sometimes there were days when I just wanted to cuddle with Phil and that was one of them, even if we had work to do or things to go too, and that was one of those days. Phil seemed to know that I just wanted cuddles because after 15 of fixing my editing he sighed and placed the laptop on the arm of the couch and then wrapping his arms around me.

"Let's just cuddle okay... I know that neither of us want to do anything." I nodded and smiled, happy to just curl up on the couch and lie there in silence, basking in each others warmth.

"You know me too well." Phil smiled and then shifted himself so he was almost lying down, but not quite.

"What are we gonna do for Christmas?" I frowned, thinking for a couple of seconds.

"Something small, just us three would be good." Phil resting his chin on the top of my head.

"That'd be good, we're gonna have to get presents and stock up on food and stuff. Honestly it'd be great if we didn't have to leave the house this month cause it'll be mad anywhere we go." It was true, you couldn't get anywhere in London at all in the month of December because of crowds of Christmas shoppers.

"Do you want to go in the next few days? If we leave Jay here we could get her to invite Anais or one of her other friends over for the time we're out." It seemed like a decent plan.

"Yeah that'd be good... should we go to the supermarket at the same time and stock up on everything for the month?" Phil nodded.

"Good ide-" He was interrupted by a yawn mid-sentence and lay his head back down next to mine, closing his eyes tiredly. I don't think either of us had gotten any sleep the night before because I was having a hard time, insomnia hitting hard and forcing me to lie awake for hours.

Once Phil knew that I wasn't going to sleep easily, after a couple of hours of lying awake, he stayed awake with me and whispered comforting messages into my ear. I was worrying too much and that was mostly the reason I couldn't sleep, which Phil knew all too well.

I was dropping off again, the lack of sleep catching up to me. As someone who napped during the day for a few hours, stayed up until 3am, often with Phil, on the Internet and then got up again at 6:30, sleeping wasn't something that I did regularly or even on a schedule.

"Just go to sleep Dan, I know you didn't sleep last night." I nodded and shuffled around for a couple of seconds before settling down on Phil's lap and closing my eyes.

"Love you lion." I could almost see Phil grinning, even with my eyes closed.

"Love you too bear."
