   Summary

   "I'm not pretending that I know what you need," Phil nuanced, "but I guess I can say that I know you pretty well—"

   Dan's laugh at the euphemism made him pause, a grin tugging at his own lips.

   "What I mean is, I imagine it as pressure, you know?" He didn't know himself. He had two degrees but pressure was part of none of them. It didn't matter. "The more you keep the valve closed, the more chances you have to explode—or, I guess, in your case, to get drunk on an entire bottle of wine and cry alone on our balcony."

   "You're lucky I'm fluent in the Phil language, otherwise I would have already ran away," Dan commented, "but I know what you mean. I get it, and I think I agree? It's sort of what my therapist told me, so."

   "Alright, pay me, then," Phil demanded, extending his hand in front of him.

   "Oh, no," Dan refused, "I put up with your bullshit all the time—that's payment enough."

   ***
   What happens when you realise you need to come out but your feelings for your best friend and roommate of ten years get in the way.
   Or, the process between writing "Basically I'm Gay" and releasing the video (plus some more).

   Summary

   (Alternate universe)
   After a wild birthday party, a video starts circulating, a video that raises a lot of questions not only for the Phandom, but for Dan and Phil themselves.
   The timing couldn’t be worse: they’re about to begin the Terrible Influence tour, trapped in close proximity with zero chance to escape fan speculation.

   Or Dan and Phil drunkenly make out, get filmed, and now have to figure out what the hell that means for their supposedly platonic friendship - all while trying to survive tour life.

   Or quite some angst, a lot of fluff, and an unhealthy amount of domesticity.
