Dan finished cleansing the small wounds on my face and advised for me to take a shower, as it would help sooth and heal any inflictions or bruises that were not visible under my clothes. I refuse to take a good look in the mirror quite yet. Maybe if I don't look they will heal faster? I Hope.
While I'm in here I may as well wash my hair, as I haven't properly done that for two days. So much drama, no time to shower, I know its grouse. I take a good half hour in the shower, at least! But I always get sidetracked by random ideas and inspirations. I have an idea that Dan might like, but I brush it off, its a stupid idea anyways.
I quickly rinse my hair, that thought sticks in my head. Could we? No its dumb. But I bet we could? I change into my pajamas, which is a Dr. Pepper advert shirt and polar bear pajama bottoms. I quickly Dry my hair, but don't straighten it, as that would require looking into the mirror. So I just comb through it a few times and head downstairs, my hair is poufy in result of not flattening it.
My body still aches, not from the beating that I received earlier today, but because all I want is a hug from Dan. I feel like I've been so selfish today. Making Dan stand up for me, carry me home, then take care of me.
I am greeted downstairs to some fairy lights spread around the living room, turned on and blinking blue and white in the darkened room. Also the family TV turned on to Mario kart, with two Wii-motes, a blanket and Dan sat on the floor waiting for my arrival, a relived smile on his face. 'How are you feeling?" He asks.
"A lot better, still sore but... better." I say honestly, taking my seat next to him. He smiles.
"Your face doesn't look as damaged as it did before." He says examining me the best he could in the dim lighting that he had created. "Of course, nothing could really make it look bad could it?" He giggles.
I laugh as well, blushing furiously. Then lean forward so I could melt into his arms. "Thank-you, Dan."
He hugs back and nuzzles into my neck. I flinch slightly, as that is one of the main places that I had revived the harshest beatings. "Oh sorry." He takes his head away, and I place my head on his shoulder instead.
"No worries love." I kiss his cheek and pick up my Wii-mote. "Ready to DIE?"
"Calm down, crazy." He says back dreamily. "I think we both know that I will be the one doing the killing."
"I think we've forgotten that there is no actual death involved in this game, you dork." I say quietly, smiling to myself.
We begin the game. Should I suggest it to him? Maybe..
-0-
"DIEE!" I shout as he passes me and taking my spot in first place.
"I'm on fire!" He shouts.
"No you're not!" I cheer as I regain my rightful title as Mario King when I beat him at the last possible moment. "Ha!"
"Damn it! Every fucking time." He throws his Wii-mote down as I beat him for the fourth time. "What time is it?"
I check my phone 3:15 along with some notifications from Tumblr, although I never get notifications from that website, I'm too lazy to check now. I tell Dan the time and he nods. 'Ready for the next round? I'm not giving up until I beat you." He says boisterously.
I'll just tell him..
"Hey Dan? I had an idea." I say shyly.
"And what's that?" He turns to look at me.
I take a breath in, ready for rejection. "What do you think... about YouTube?"
"Its cool, I've watched it for years. Why?" He asks.
"Would you like to, maybe start a few channels with me?" I ask shyly.
His face immediately perks up. "What? You mean like a collaboration channel, or separate?"
"Separate, but we could collaborate on each others channels. Just an idea." I look down at his hands at back at his still perky face.
"Sure, that sounds cool. I've always wanted to try it, but never had the courage or motivation to." He confesses.
"You don't have to if you don't want to."
"But I want to. I'll get our Macs." He jumps up and I turn off the television, then wait for him to return.
He plops down beside me and hands me my Mac, which is covered in Anime stickers. I open the bookmarked YouTube page and press Create an account.
"So first, we have to name our channels." Dan talks like he's done this before. "What should I call mine.. How about Danisonfire. You know, cause I'm so great at Mario Kart."
I giggle, "Defiantly not. You were so bad at Mario. May as well name yourself Danisnotonfire."
He gasps and begins rapidly punching the keys, just as fast as he plays piano. "That's so catchy." He speaks a little bit too enthusiastically.
Now I need a name. "What should I name call mine." I got to name yours, you now you have to give mine a name." I giggle a bit.
"How about.. Urm.. EpicPhil?"
"Oh! How about SuperAmazingPhil?" I sit and wait for his approval.
He shakes his head. "No, I think its too long. What about just AmazingPhil?"
"Oh mines too long? Mr. Danisnotonfire. That's six syllables, you loser."
"Oh well. You said this I could choose, so I chose and now your stuck with it. Be lucky that I didn't name you something like PhilWantsToRubHoneyOnDogsThenEatThemForBreakfast."
"Okay, I guess I'm lucky in the name department, thanks for that Dan." I laugh, and Dan joins in with me, leaning into my chest.
"Do you suppose we make some twitter accounts?" I ask him.
"We've already got twitter accounts? You mean for just people who may want to follow us that found us from YouTube?"
I nod and brush my hand against Dan's, than hold onto it and give it a squeeze. "I'm excited..."
"So am I.."
