anonymous said: Hey so I had something pop up in my head out of nowhere and it's gonna sound crazy but I'll give it a shot! Can you do one where the reader started distancing herself from everyone and everyone is noticing so they come up with a plan but it doesn't end well, in the end, she tells them that she doesn't belong there and that she doesn't fit in. It ends with fluff or whateverđ¤Ş
plot: y/n feels like david would be better off without her
a/n: i got carried away and this strayed a little bit from the request but i hope you like it! send me some david or shawn requests!!

david, of course, was the first one to notice when y/n started to come around less and less. he started to notice that she would blow him off, especially when he made plans with the other members of the vlog squad. he thought maybe one of their friends had made her uncomfortable, but couldnât come up with a single person that was a common thread, so then he thought that maybe it was just him that was the problem. maybe y/n wanted to break up, david thought, but was quickly proved wrong when carly had asked him why y/n was acting so distant recently.
mariah suggested the thought that maybe she wasnât feeling the group settings, so she invited her to go get coffee, and y/n accepted after being reassured multiple times that it would only be them.
when mariah and y/n met for said coffee, mariah tried to dance around the subject for a while, but eventually, she found the words tumbling out of her mouth.
âso, david mentioned that he thought you might be wanting to break up with himâŚâ mariah says, but it comes out as more of a question, and truthfully, she was kind of scared of how y/n would react and even more scared that y/n would confirm davidâs doubts.
âwhat?â y/n almost chokes on her coffee. âwhy would he think that?â
âi donât knowâŚâ mariah says, but quickly continues, âweâve all noticed that you have been hanging out with all of us less.â y/n nods her head slowly, and moves her gaze from mariahâs face to the window, not wanting her friend to see the water that seemed to quickly form in her eyes. the two girls stayed quiet for a couple minutes, that seemed to drag on for hours, mariah started to wonder if y/n was going to ever answer her.
âiâŚâ y/n starts to explain, but quickly closes her mouth. âif i tell you this, you canât tell anyone okay? not david, not heath, absolutely no one.â mariah nods her head. âdavid and i have been together for almost a year and a half now, and we have obviously known each other longer than that, but a couple weeks ago, he mentioned that he wanted me to move in.â y/n takes a sharp breath, the tears in her eyes only collecting more as she talks.
âyou donât want to?â mariah asks softly, grabbing y/nâs hand that rested on the table.
âno, no. i mean, yes, i do. so bad. but i feel like⌠i feel like david deserves to be with someone so much better than me. he deserves someone who can be one of the stars of his vlog. someone who makes him laugh the way the rest of you can make him laugh. iâm just normal, boring old me. iâm not a youtuber or have a crazy talent, i have a desk job, andâŚâ y/n canât bear to continue, she lets out a sob, but quickly covers her face, trying not to get the attention of the other coffee drinkers in the cafe.
âoh, honey, you know david doesnât care about all of that stuff. he loves you, y/n. so much.â mariah squeezes the hand that isnât covering y/nâs face.
âi know, i know. and i love him more than i have ever loved anyone. i just feel like i donât belong, riah.â

when they left the coffee shop, mariah quickly broke her promise to y/n and called david. it broke davidâs heart to hear that the girl he loved with his entire heart was struggling to feel like she fit in with the people he considered family.
david quickly made his way over to her apartment and let himself in. he found her asleep in her bedroom with the tv playing reruns of greyâs anatomy on a low volume in the background. he couldnât help but smile at her. he slipped off his shoes and crawled in behind her, making sure to hold her as tightly as he could without waking her.
when she woke up, she wasnât expecting to find herself in the arms of the love of her life, but nonetheless, she snuggled closer to him. she didnât quite realize how much she missed him until she was in his arms after avoiding him for what felt like weeks.
âbaby?â david murmurs, when he feels her move.
âhi.â she whispers, back, suddenly feeling guilty for the ways sheâs been acting and feeling.
âi miss you.â he says, softly kissing the crown of her head.
âIâm sorry.â she says, trying not to cry for the second time.
âhey, itâs okay.â
âmariah told you?â y/n asks and david nods.
âdonât be mad at her, she told me you told her not to tell me.â
âiâm not.â y/n says, pulling back to finally look at him.
âif youâre not ready to move in with me, you could have told me, you know? i would never be mad at you for not being ready. weâll get there eventually, baby.â
âthatâs not it, dave. trust me. i would follow you to the end of the world if you asked me to.â she sighs, âi just wonder if you would be better off without me.â
âwhy would you think that, y/n? i think i might die if you leave me.â
âiâm so normal.â y/n says, and pulls away from david, causing both of them to feel cold. âyou deserve to be with someone extraordinary.â
âyou are. and just because i donât put you in the vlog much doesnât mean that you mean any less to me than the people i do, or that you donât belong in it. i have so many clips that would have made it into the vlog if it wasnât you. and as awful as that sounds, i just donât want to share you. and besides that, the fans love you. theyâre always commenting on how pretty you are or funny and how they want you in it more. iâm sorry, i just didnât want to share you, i never meant to hurt your feelings.â
âdavid,â y/n turns back to her side to look at him, âyou never made me feel like this. it was nothing you did, okay? iâm sorry. and you donât have to share me, iâm all yours.â

a month later, so much had changed. y/n now didnât distance herself, it didnât happen overnight, but with davidâs constant reasurance and mariah being there for her to talk to, she started to feel like the way she did when she first met david. they were planning on moving y/n in as soon as her lease at her apartment ended. she spent more time at davidâs than her own anyway.
one morning, y/n woke up to a post notification from davidâs account with the title being âSHE KEEPS TRYING TO MAKEOUT WITH MEâ she furrowed her eyebrows as she clicked on the notification.
when she presses the play button, davidâs face appears, and he says âhey, guys, itâs david.â with a giggle before it cuts to the intro screen.
âsoooo, many of you know that i have been in a relationship with a very pretty girl for about a year in a half. if you didnât know, this is her.â he says as he points over to a part of the screen and a picture of y/n pops up. âvery pretty i know.â he laughs, âanyway, some of you have been demanding that you get to see some more of her.â a bunch of screen grabs come up of fans asking for david to post more of the two of them or just y/n in general. âso, i thought iâd give you an entire vlogs worth of her.â
the screen goes black, and then y/n appears, asleep in davidâs bed. david screams and y/n jumps up. when she sees that david is fine, she flops backwards and rubs her eyes. âyouâre a fucking asshole david dobrik.â and david laughs.
then it cuts to y/nâs twenty-first, way before they started dating, when they had just met. y/n was gone. she smiles at the camera, posing for the picture, but laughs loudly when david says âitâs a video, do something!â and you can see the panic that goes across the plastered y/nâs face. âdavid! i donât know what to do!â she whispers, with a hand halfway over her mouth like the camera could no longer see and hear her.
it then goes to a couple months into their relationship, when david set up a camera in his living room to film a sit down portion of his video, when y/n comes in, and lays across his lap, not even noticing the camera. âi hate you.â she says.
âwhy?â he asks, with a loud laugh.
âi donât, i love you.â her first i love you. david glances down at her in shock.
âfor real?â
âdonât make me take it back.â
it cuts again, this time to a more recent day. this time, y/n is pretty certain that the clip was filmed by jason, âwhy wonât you just kiss me!â y/n yells, as she sits on davidâs lap, with her hands on either side of his head.
âwe need to do the podcast, babeâ not budging.
âgive me love, and iâll leave you alone.â
âhow about i give you a kiss, and you never leave me alone?â david smiles.
âeven better!â she yells, leaning down, before it cuts off, and david appears again.
âso, yeah!â david claps. âthat is only some of my favorite clips of her. i have so many more, that you probably will never see. but i promise that i wonât keep her to myself anymore. i hope you love her just a fraction of what i love her. but yeah! iâll see you guys the next vlog! byeeeeâ the vlog cuts, and y/n grins, wondering how she could ever feel the way she had, when she had everything she had ever wanted.
