I'm using the Australian pricing system because I'm aussie and that's easiest for me. Your username is LukeIsCool and all your alt accounts are TotallyNotLuke

I groan as I wake up to the beeping of my alarm, I've been working at the local coffee shop for a couple of years now and although I love it the days do become boring. I'm also a part time streamer to help earn some money on the side.

I check my socials and see 99+ notifications for twitter, hoping I haven't done something stupid, since I haven't tweeted anything in a couple of days. I see about a thousand more followers and my eyes widen in shock, about to go check all the notifications, before remembering I have work and rushing downstairs to have breakfast and get ready for work.

(TIME SKIP TO ALMOST THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY)

I'm really regretting having such a bad sleeping schedule so I try stay awake by focusing on some of the conversations our customers are having. I hear the bell chime, indicating someone has walked in. I look up and see a beautiful man with fluffy brown hair and a smile on his face. 

I stare at him for a moment, blushing before remembering I'm at work. "Hello, do you know what you would like or are you still deciding" I say, "I'll have a plain latte with two shots of espresso, and do you have any recommendation for food, I'm getting my friend something". He sounds like an angel, he should be a singer. I nod thinking, "the chocolate muffin is definitely my favourite, and it's pretty popular among customers" he thinks for a moment then responds, "then I'll get two chocolate muffins for takeaway".

"What's the name for the drink by the way?" I question, and he looks up and smiles "my name's Will", and our conversation flows from there, he mentions he's a YouTuber and Twitch streamer and I stupidly say "seriously? I am too". So much for not wanting people to know who I am in real life.

We give each other our usernames and I finish making his latte, and pack the two muffins in separate paper bags. "Your total comes to $11.60". He finishes paying and seems to hesitate before asking "is there any chance your I could get your number?" I look up and smile, blushing at a very pretty man asking for my number, before I get the chance to overthink I stutter out "of course" and write my number on a slip of paper, he then takes his order and the paper with my number on it and leaves. I serve a few more customers, the whole time overthinking if I've stuffed up by giving Will my number and by the time I've come to the conclusion that at worst I'll block him, my shift has ended and I head home.

When I get to my apartment I turn my notifications to check if Will texted me and my phone blowing up with mentions and follows. Most of them are from Twitter so I check it.

I'm in shock I expected Will to be far less popular that what he actually is, and he seems so... normal, and I guess he is, none of my followers would expect me, with my 2 million YouTube subscribers and 1.7 million Twitch followers to work part time in a coffee shop, but it's my way of retaining a sense of normalcy.

I smiled as I tweeted my response and flopped onto my bed. Maybe this means we could see each other again, he wouldn't live that far away. I shook myself out of my daydream, my life wasn't a fanfiction and I had to realise that would never happen. I had a stream organised for few hours but I didn't know what to do until then.

I started scrolling through my twitter notifications and saw that Wilbur Soot has followed me, my only question was why, he was so much more well known that I was, besides it wasn't like I was anything special. I saw another notification pop up and saw that Will had sent me a message.

I couldn't keep the smile off my face after my conversation with Will and I could only wish Will felt the same way. I couldn't believe how easily we were able to have a normal conversation, normally I'd be stuttering and awkward throughout a conversation but somehow Wilbur managed to keep me talking and not give time to dwell on those matters.

I think I may have a tiny crush...


Yes this has undergone major renovations and I'm sorry I left it unfinished for so long

You know when people say Wattpad/Fanfic writers have the worst luck? Apparently my heart only just pumps enough blood around my body so I faint a lot and my heart rate is really volatile and we don't know if it'll be able to be fixed or not :( oh well, I'm still alive (for now) so I'm happy
