power couple!phan headcanons
bc i’m w eA k and caffeinephan is a bad influence
(also inspired by howellwifi bc she started the whole power couple!phan trend on twitter that rat)
- between the two of them, phil is the businessman. he takes care of the finances, the paperwork, the rules and regulations. he oversees the book printing, he organizes the radio show, he’s even listed as principal director of their tour. dan always worries that he’s putting too much work on phil, especially with him being away for the documentary so much, but they both know that this is phil’s element. he’s a force to be reckoned with when he’s in charge, and everyone knows it. nothing turns dan on more than seeing phil negotiating with a producer and winning. nothing beats the charm of a northern accent.
- they like to coordinate their outfits. it’s always very subtle – matching silk accents on their suits, color-coordinated pocket squares and bowties. nothing too flashy, nothing too outlandish, but eye-catching nonetheless. it sends a clear message of duality and togetherness, one that can be sensed even when they’re away from each other. plus, it makes their photos look great.
- they always manage to draw attention to themselves whenever they enter a room. maybe it’s the way they move with such synchronicity, sipping their drinks in unison as they make their rounds. maybe it’s the way they finish each other’s sentences, flowing from one anecdote to the next with an ease that makes every ear perk up and listen. their combined aura pulls the attention of the room to them; they literally make heads turn as they walk past. they’ve gotten used to it by now – dan struts past with a knowing look, phil smirks against his wine glass.
- it’s rare for one of them to be on stage without the other, but when it does happen you can feel the pride radiating off the other person’s body. it’s overwhelming, how supportive of each other they are. don’t get dan started on the things phil has accomplished, he’ll talk your ear off. and phil literally glowed as he watched dan accept his lovie award, hands going numb from clapping so hard.
- they like to spoil each other. dan buys more designer clothes for phil than he does for himself, and loves to make phil model them for him. phil takes dan to expensive restaurants with breathtaking views and orders for the both of them. they’ll bring home bouquets of flowers “just because” and crack open expensive bottles of wine during random weeknights to help unwind. it’s a bad habit, really. dan jokes that they’re each other’s “sugar daddies”. phil rolls his eyes but doesn’t correct him.
-almost every youtube couple is lowkey jealous of them. jealous of the way they still act like lovesick puppies after six years. jealous of the way their relationship can be so open, yet so private. jealous of the way their names roll off the tongue with ease, one right after the other as if the they were always meant to be said in the same breath. jealous of the way they just fit together, like two aesthetically-pleasing puzzle pieces with complementing hairstyles and an ideal height difference. the only youtube couple that isn’t jealous of them is felix and marzia, because they’re just as #relationshipgoals as dan and phil are. that’s why they hang out so much.
- it’s no secret that dan’s the leader of the phil lester defense squad, but there’s nothing like seeing the leader of the dan howell defense squad take action. protective!phil is incredibly intimidating, the warm cerulean of his eyes turning into ice-cold steel at the drop of a hat. it only takes one look – head cocked, eyes narrowed, jaw tight. it shuts every hater down cold, time and time again.
-they’re always a little freer with themselves at youtuber parties, especially after the vlogging cameras are put away and they’ve drank a little. phil will wrap an arm around dan’s shoulders as they talk amongst their friends, stroking down his arm lightly. dan will bury his face against phil’s neck as he laughs, breath warm against the pale skin. they’ll eventually get caught up in their own little world, whispering to each other and sharing smiles even as the party moves around them. with bright eyes and big smiles, they look like a living magazine spread, models paid to look beautiful despite the sweat plastering their fringe to their foreheads and the alcohol on their breath. it’s a carefree look that few have mastered, and of course they’ve mastered it. fucking pricks.
- the fact that they’ve both been crowned as sugarscape’s hottest lad still makes them laugh. they don’t take it seriously, but it’s a giant ego booster – especially in the bedroom. the “i’m banging hottest lad 2012/2013” jokes are endless.
- hitting youtube milestones = sex, of course. that’s what all power couples do. when dan hit 1mil, he was sore for a week. when phil hit 2mil, not a single room in their flat was left untouched. and you can bet that dan woke up to 5mil subs with phil tracing the number five on his inner thigh. with his tongue.
