Chapter Four
A couple days later, Dan and Phil were both woken up by a knock on the front door, they got up and walked out of their rooms and paused at their doors. Dan walked to the door first and Phil followed him.
Dan looked to see who it was and then let Phil see before opening the door to let Tyler in.
"Well, Hello there!" Tyler said and pulled them into a hug.
Both Dan and Phil hugged Tyler back - which was slighty funny due to the 10 inches different between them - and Dan smirked.
"We weren't expecting you to come in right over as soon as you came in." Dan told him.
Tyler shrugged, "After your announcement, I decided that I was going to come here first. I postponed Jack and Finn."
Phil yawned and rubbed his eyes, and looked at Dan. "Well, come in." He gestured into the apartment and closed the door behind him.
"Thanks." Tyler said. He came in and Dan brought him into the lounge. Tyler sat in a recliner and Dan and Phil sat next to each other on the sofa, "How are you doing?" He asked.
Dan looked at Phil - thinking about the 'panics' that he had been having since the video, after having read a large group of negative comments on any social media from anyone. "Mostly well." Dan decided on saying. "Sometimes are better than others."
Phil slowly nodded and looked down, "Not used to as much hate, but we get through it, right, Dan?" He said quietly.
Dan nodded to Phil. Tyler was the one that responded, though, "It just takes some time, After everyone that is disapproving of this leaves, then you are left with the supportive people."
Before Dan or Phil could respond there was another knock on the door. Dan got up and answered the door.
"Hi Dan! Where's Phil? Why are you still in your pajamas?" Lillian asked and pulled Leo into the apartment.
Leo yawned and nodded at Dan. "Lillian decided that she hadn't heard from you in two days and that she should come straight over because of that. Sorry."
"It's fine." Dan responded and gestured for them to follow him, "Phil's in the lounge, Lillian."
Tyler and Phil were both talking just as they walked in, but became silent when they saw Lilian and Leo. Phil gave a weak smile to them while Tyler was all for being their new best friends.
"Why hello there, Tyler Oakley." Tyler introduced himself.
Lillian just stared at him in awe.
"She's actually quiet for once." Leo commented to Dan. He turned to Tyler. "Sorry 'bout her, she loves you. I'm Leo, she's Lillian." Then he waved a hand in front of his girlfriend's face.
Dan and Phil both - knowing Lilian - laughed at that comment made from Leo. Tyler smirked, "So a professional fangirl?" He asked to her.
She nodded quickly. "H-Hi..."
Leo stared at Lilian for a second then to Tyler, he grabbed her wrist, "One second." He dragged her out of the room and into the hall - where no one was able to hear them saying whatever.
"To answer you, Tyler, yes she is a pretty big fangirl." Dan said to Tyler.
Phil smiled and looked at the hall.
Once Lilian came back in, she was back to her normal and weird self actually able to talk without freaking out.
"Nice to meet you." She said calmly.
Tyler gave her a smirk, "Nice to meet you too."
"Lillian, chop chop, we're going to meet the queen." Leo said and said bye to everyone before they left.
Phil leaned his head on Dan's shoulder as he waved bye to them and yawned.
Tyler waved bye to the two - just after Lillian got a selfie with him - then calmed down and became serious, "It'll be hard when it comes to that Phil, but you just have to trust that everyone will understand and those that don't just get out."
Phil nodded and ran a hand through his hair, something that he does when he's nervous.
"Dan are you doing okay?" Tyler asked. "You can talk if you want."
"I'm fine." Dan nodded, he was definitely not as worse off as Phil. Tyler nodded at him, though he didn't seem like he fully believed what Dan said, he could tell that Dan didn't want to say anything.
Phil yawned and Tyler rolled his eyes at the yawning Phil, "To wake you up, I'm thinking about making a video with y'all."
Phil shrugged, nodded and looked at Dan. "What do you think?"
"What were you thinking for a video Tyler?" Dan asked him.
"A Dare video." Tyler responded.
An hour and a half later everyone was wide awake - and a little wet. Dan had set up his lighting, Tyler had his camera all out, and Twitter had widely responded to Tyler's tweet for a dare video, without saying who he was with - only that he was with a British Duo, which truly could have been any one British.
Most people had guessed that he would be with Jack and Finn - as Tyler had previously said that that was who he was first going to spend some time with. A small percentage of his followers had rightfully guessed Dan and Phil, he said nothing to say that they were correct, but did favorite their tweets.
"Want to go out for some lunch?" Tyler suggested once all the equipment was away.
Phil - who was hardly tired anymore - and Dan nodded. "Do you already have an idea as to where to go?" Dan asked.
"Two places." Tyler said without elaborating, but having a large grin on his face.
Neither Dan nor Phil wanted to even know what Tyler was planning, they just grabbed their keys and headed out. Without really thinking, no one had brought a jacket and it - in an odd turn of events, but not really - was raining in London as they headed to lunch. They didn't really see it at all as a big deal and just contiued on their way.
Tyler had found a very fancy restaurant and brought the two boys there, it was a good meal and once they got back to Dan and Phil's flat, Tyler had to go to the Underground to head off with Jack and Finn.
They shared their goodbyes and Dan and Phil spent the rest of the day and evening in peace.
