I know you're probably like "What the hell?! You haven't updated your other phanfic in a while so what're you doing writing another one?!" Sorry… The other one seems to be taking longer to write than expected… But this one is amazing so you'll have to cope with it for now
Dan's side of the story, the next one will be Phil's side and so on
'You're account has been created. Welcome to FindADate! Good luck!
Dan read the message over and over again. His stomach was clenched and he felt like he had just made the worst decision of his life, but at the same time, felt good about it. He didn't want to have made this decision, he had been putting it off for nearly half a year now, but he was tired of his and Phil's fans bombarding them with phanfics and Phan art and anything else they think would persuade him and his flatmate to finally realise their feelings for each other.
He clicked on his profile, ready to update his information and add a bit of sass here and there to make himself at least feel like this was a good idea.
Name: Dan
Like Dan was ever going to put his full name.
Age: Early 20's
Sexuality: Bisexual
Dan hesitated writing this but thought that if he was going to find someone to suit him, he needed to be open with his choices.
Interests: Your mum.
Dan quickly deleted that, it was too much like him.
Muse, YouTube, Bears, Nocturnal
He decided to leave it at that. He didn't want to give away too much information.
Country: United Kingdom
'No use talking to someone in some place like America or something!' Dan sighed, smiling slightly
Username: LonelyLlama
Lucky the username wasn't taken.
He then clicked on the last box.
Photo
No photo selected.
Dan started browsing through his photos, smiling at some of the past memories and funny pictures until he found one that represented him reasonably well.
It was a picture of a llama with a makeup on. The caption on it read 'Wtf you looking at?'
Dan smiled and clicked upload, saving his changes afterwards.
Three days later and Dan hadn't been on that dating site once since he made the account. The main reason being that Phil had been really ill and he had to look after him 24/7. When he finally logged back onto his laptop again it was still in hibernation from where he had closed it quickly after thinking about what might happen if one of his fans found out he was on that dating site.
The website loaded quickly and the first thing he realised was that his message icon was flashing in his face, alerting him of any messages he had. Dan clicked on it lazily, but became immediately surprised by how many messages he had. He started reading through them, deleting the ones he didn't want to reply to.
Hi! I'm a fun, bubbly girl looking for a bit of fun if you know what I mean;)xxx
Delete.
Ek verkrag kinders.
He translated it and immediately clicked delete. [Authors note; this is Africaans and don't translate that:L]
Hey! I'm bi too! Want to meet?
Delete.
You seem interesting; I don't want sex like most of the people on here, just someone to talk to
Hmm, keep. Dan decided after a while. Maybe they could become friends?
Wow, a llama! I never thought I would meet one of those on here! (I mean this ironically of course, please don't kill me!)
Dan laughed, remembering the thumbnail to one of his videos and deciding to also keep this one.
Ha GAAAYYYY!
'There's always one.' Dan thought while deleting the message. In the end he had two messages left. The first from LookingForLove246 who was a girl and the second was from TheHair234. He decided that the last message would be a more entertaining conversation than the first so he replied to that one first.
What?! Since when am I a llama?! *looks in the mirror* OH MY FREAKING GOD I AM A LLAMA!
He clicked send and clicked off the tab and onto Tumblr. He was just scrolling through when *bling* he had a message. He quickly clicked back onto the tab and opened the conversation.
Don't be too hard on yourself, llamas are cool. My flatmate taught me that. I could learn to love a llama?
Your flatmate sounds amazing!
If you could love a llama then maybe I could love 'The Hair'?;)
Haha! That is the worst username ever! I'm surprised it was even taken when I tried it! But I don't lie… I do have terrific hair!
Oh really. I bet mine is better than yours!
I think this is a challenge! Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first ever… HAIR BATTLES!
We're the only ones who are able to see these messages though, pretty small audience.
My head has an imaginary audience which is currently screaming my name!
Mine's louder! And what would your name be my good sir? This is a sir right?
Mine sounds like 5 million lions roaring at once! And yes, it is a sir, world's greatest detective in the making, but why should I tell you my name. It could raise questions, I like being known as 'The Hair' it sounds better than my actual name.
Mine sounds like the universe exploding! I win. And stop being sarcastic, I created that shit! And you shouldn't tell me your name. That gives you all the more reason to do it. And I'm pretty certain your name sounds better than a reference to your hair.
Mine sounds like the universe exploding PLUS 5 million lions roaring at once. I actually think I win. And again, sounds like something my flatmate would say, I won't tell you my name but I'll tell you the name of the hamster I'm aspiring to have; it's Striker!
Dan's heart stopped. Because he knew someone who referenced lions, wanted a hamster and wanted to name it striker, he knew someone who had a flatmate who would say things like 'I created that shit!' and who taught his flatmate that llamas are cool. His hand trembled as he typed out his next sentence.
You seem oddly familiar, like we've spoken before… Is it just me or are you getting the same feeling?
He got an instant reply.
Yeah! I was just thinking that! It's funny how if you have things in common with someone you feel like you've known them for ages. I'm tired anyway, is it okay if we talk tomorrow?:)
Yeah sure, you're interesting!:D
Dan watched as his flatmate signed off from the site and he listened as Phil got up from their living room and walked along to his room. Is it possible that he could have just been almost falling for his best friend?
Shit ending, I know. Don't rub it in. I didn't know how to end it though! Here's the link to the original fic (which I have permission from the writer to be allowed to write this and call it mine, I feel like I need to give her some credit though… She's such a good writer! I would recommend reading her, the original is called messages, I also recommend Rules for the flat, Dystopia (everyone loves this one! Based on the walking dead sort of but not so much blood, guts and gore) isle of white, and all the one shots as well!:)) littlelioncats on Tumblr. (Sorry, I can't put a link on here) just click on fic on her blog:)
Anyways, thank you for reading!:D
