Chapter Text
The world is black and white like an old timey movie. (Or a modern movie if you're single.)
The world has color, but by some theory you can't see it until you meet your soulmate. No one knows why, or where it originated from, or what the hell you were supposed to do when you met them, but everyone learned to ignore it.
Except for Dan.
"Daniel, for the last time, colors are colors, I can't describe the bloody rainbow to you!" Dan's mum had said sternly as the fourteen year old asked for the third time what colors looked like.
"But mum-" Dan retorted, only to be shut up by his mother shushing him and sending him to bed. It was almost midnight and she was getting irrritable.

FOUR YEARS LATER

Dan was just sitting in his bedroom and looking over his YouTube subscription box, and he clicked on Phil's YouTube. His number on his ankle had gone to zero, but he hadn't seen any colors at all, and he was hoping he would meet the person soon.
Looking at Phil's videos relaxed him, Phil was so funny and he was quite cute, to be honest. His voice was very soothing as well and he liked to listen to it with his eyes closed.
He had found Phil on Facebook, but was too scared to send a friend request. It seemed a bit weird, considering that he constantly commented on every single one of his videos...
But now, he had nothing to lose. He was just a frail boy with an odd YouTube obsession, what was the worst that could happen?
So Dan opened Facebook. And requested Phil to be his friend.
Just minutes later, the request was accepted and another was sent to Dan.
"HOLY SHIT HE WANTS TO ADD ME BACK?!" Dan whisper-screamed. It was too early in the morning to be awake, much less be screaming like a little (fan)girl.
He quickly accepted the request and he soon recieved a message.
/Hey! I've seen you on YouTube a lot, do you watch my videos?
OMG YES I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU'RE ACTUALLY RESPONDING OMF
Haha anyways I'm Phil, you're Dan, right? You seem really cool, do you have Skype?/
