Ask game to tag for phan!

What are your top three dan and phil games videos and why?

i love this but i’m gonna be so fr i’m awful at ranking things & i cannot remember what happened in a given video ever. so this is gonna be post-hiatus since those are fresher in my mind. and also in no particular order.

1) halloween baking because well. yknow. it gave me almost the same heart palpitations basically i’m gay did. and i’ve never seen phil lose it that bad. incredible content 10/10.

2) incohearant. absolute chaos. dan calling phil out for being a power bottom. anal fisting. etc. cannot be matched.

3) maybe the first heart throb back from hiatus? an iconic way to kick off a new era. went from glass closet playing in 2018 to smashed closet in 2024.

Don't cry Monster. *Part two*

*****

After a while of the two boys talking about favorite bands and video games, Dan asked, ”Why were you crying before?”

Phil considered not answering, however, when he looked up.

He noticed Dan was looking down at his hands almost timid in a way, that's when he saw Dan was dressed in all black. This is how Dan really was when he thought no one was watching. Shy and quiet, he couldn't figure out how Dan acted like someone he wasn't.

“You don't have to answer. If you don't want to.”

Phil snapped out of his thought. “What? Oh, sorry. I just.... Um, why are you dressed in all black?” He watched as Dan fuss with his sleeves, he went to laced their fingers as a way to comfort him, “An answer for an answer, yeah?”

Dan smiled a little, “Yeah. You go first.”

Phil took a few breaths in and out before speaking, “Something happen at my school, maybe I should start from the beginning. I… I um, I believe in Santa…” He waited for Dan to start laughing, but he just squeezed Phil’s hand. Phil grinned as he continued, “And Shane found out that I did…”

“Shane isn’t someone I would like is he?” Dan guessed.

“He likes making fun of me, though I wouldn’t call him the school bully because he’s nice to everyone else.”

“No, I wouldn’t. Go on.”

“He tweeted that fact and I had to turn my phone off over the weekend because it, I thought it was done with, then when I- when I opened…”

Phil didn’t notice he was crying until Dan hugged him and said, “Hey, it’s okay. Don’t cry, you’re okay, you’re safe. Just breath.”

Phil tried to steady himself, “Sorry.”

“You don’t have to apologize for anything. You don’t even have to continue if you don’t want to. I’m glad you told me what you did.”

Phil felt that warmth radiating from Dan again, giving him the courage to finish. “No, I want to.”

“Alright.”

“When I opened my locker, there was a bear dressed as Santa Claus hanging by its neck.”

“Oh, god. Why…? How could someone do that?”

“There’s more. Who ever did it left this too,” Phil took a crumpled piece out of his coat pocket to hand it to Dan, “And I think Shane was recording everything on his phone.”

His eyes welled up with tears as Dan read the note, but he quickly wiped them away. Phil wouldn’t have noticed Dan’s face weren’t puffy and red. “Phil. I’m… I’m so sorry. You didn’t deserve this, no one does. It’s not any wonder why you didn’t speak to me.”

“Thanks Dan, but perhaps they were right. It’s a bit daft to still-”

Dan interrupted, “Don’t you dare finish that sentence. It isn’t daft, I don’t believe in Santa myself… Actually, I don’t believe in much of anything really, but I do know everyone has the right to believe in what they do. Be who they are. Everyone is valid, even if they’re horrible people. If I can’t trust in that, then I can’t in anything else.” He lifted himself off the ground then helped Phil do the same.

“Dan…” Phil tried.

“Come on, it’s late I’ll take you home. You need a good night’s rest.”

Neither boy spoke on the way to Phil’s, aside from the occasionally left or right being asked.

When they stop at the front door and Dan turned away after saying good night, Phil grabbed his hand, “Wait. You never answer my question.”

Dan beamed, “No, I didn't did I? Because I'm comfortable in black and I know you didn't ask, but I have been through things like what you're going through.” He then whispered next to Phil’s ear. “That’s how I knew what to do. Good night, Monster.” At that instant Dan placed a chaste kiss to Phil’s cheek before running off.

Phil stood there for a long minute trying to make sense of what happened when he couldn't, he unlocked the door, went up to his room, glad his parents were asleep. He pulled off his coat and was going to the same with the rest of his clothes when the note fell out. He scowled at it prior to picking it up to toss it in the bin, it landed with a soft thud which seem to make him angrier. He yanked it out to rip it up, however, he saw a phone number and something saying, ‘If you ever want a friend.’ Phil shook his head, smiling, then grab his phone, typing the number in and sending a message ‘Thank you for today, it meant a lot.’ after he pressed send he finished undressing and went to sleep.

He didn't go back to school for the rest of the week.

Christmas was tomorrow. Phil had spent the last two weeks only speaking to his parents, Carrie and Dan. Working on the homework Carrie brought over and the assignment his history teacher gave the class for break.

“God! Who gives an assignment for five pages on the history of Christmas! This is torture.” Carrie growled, falling back onto his carpet.

He snickered, “Perhaps our history teacher is an evil spy set out to torture kids so we'll convert to his side.”

She sat back up, “If it gets me out of doing this, sign me up! How's yours going?”

“Oh, I'm finished.”

“What? You are not. You've been typing away on your computer this whole time.”

“I was playing a game.”

“Wait, you double spaced, didn't you?”

“No, of course not.” He looked up his ceiling.

“Sneaky. Right, move your ass, I'm doing the rest of mine on your computer.”

He traded seats with her, “Okay, but be quick. Dan’s supposed over in a-"

“Dan? Come on let me meet him.”

“No, absolutely not.”

“Why? I let you meet PJ when we started dat-"

“Because we're not dating and because you didn't have to worry about me scaring PJ off.”

“Right, not dating. How would I scare him?”

“You’re extremely protective. I love that about you, but it can be… unnerving. Plus, I saw the prank list you have in your notepad for Shane. If that’s not protective then I don’t know what it is.”

“Shane deserves it.”

“Maybe, but promise you won’t do any of them.”

“After what he did-”

“Please?” He pleaded.

“Fine, I promise and I’ll try to tone it down. So, can I meet him?

“I don’t know Carrie.”

She put on her sad cat ears face.

“Not the ears.” He covered his eyes, “I’m not looking. If I can’t see them, they can’t work.” Phil’s phone started ringing. He uncovered them long enough to pick it up and answer then shut them. “Hello?

“Hi, I’m on my way over. Will I be using the door or the window again?”

Phil could hear him smirking, suddenly he felt his face heat up, “It was only twice.”

“Ooh, What was only twice Phil? Because you're blushing and it is very cute.” Carrie teased, loudly.

He growled, then heard Dan say, “You know, she's right. You're cute when you blush.”

His eyes snapped open and Phil responded quickly, “Okay. I'm unlocking the door, but you can use whichever one you want. I love you, see you in a bit.” He clicked end call, then went to unlock the front door. Carrie followed after him, “Carrie, that was mean. What if that hadn… What did I just say?”

“That I was being mean.”

“No. Did I say I love you?”

“Yeah…" She sighed, “You didn't mean to say that did you?”

Phil answered her by putting his face in his hands.

“Maybe he didn't hear you, but if he did, it'll be fine.”

“You don’t know that.” He jumped when a knock sounded, “Oh no, I can’t see him now. Can you get it?” he didn't wait for her to answer instead he ran upstairs to hide in his room.
