Alessia Russo Oneshot

Risky Rides and New Beginnings- Male!Reader

Liam was in his element, setting up the final touches for his latest YouTube video. As a YouTuber with a penchant for adrenaline-filled stunts, he had built a solid following. His best friend Joe had been a supporter from the beginning, often getting involved in Liam's wild ideas. Today was no different, but Joe wasn't coming alone.

Joe had been invited to see the behind-the-scenes of Liam's latest video, but he decided to extend the invite to his girlfriend, Ella. Knowing how close Ella was with her best friend Alessia Russo, it was only natural for her to invite Alessia along. Little did they know what they were about to witness.

When they arrived at the filming location, Ella and Alessia were surprised to see a dirt bike in the middle of the set. The look of excitement on Joe's face was unmistakable as he greeted Liam, who was busy adjusting a GoPro on his helmet.

"This is going to be epic!" Joe exclaimed, clapping Liam on the back.

Liam grinned, his eyes sparkling with the thrill of the upcoming stunts. "You know me, I like to keep things interesting."

Ella raised an eyebrow, catching on to the plan. "Please tell me you're not about to do something crazy."

Alessia's expression mirrored Ella's concern. She had seen a few of Liam's videos through Joe, and while they were undeniably entertaining, they were also undeniably dangerous.

Liam chuckled, glancing at Alessia and Ella for the first time. "Crazy? Maybe. Dangerous? Definitely."

The girls exchanged uneasy looks as Liam hopped on the dirt bike. He revved the engine, the loud roar sending a shiver down Alessia's spine. She had a bad feeling about this. As the camera crew got into position, Liam sped off, kicking up dirt as he executed a series of stunts. He flew over ramps, narrowly avoided obstacles, and even performed a few tricks mid-air that made Alessia's heart lurch in her chest.

Ella winced at one particularly close call, but it was Alessia who had to turn away, unable to watch as Liam skidded dangerously close to the edge of a steep drop.

When the filming finally wrapped up, Alessia let out a breath she hadn't realised she was holding. Liam dismounted the bike, pulling off his helmet with a triumphant grin. His excitement was palpable as he jogged over to where Joe, Ella, and Alessia stood.

"That was insane!" Joe cheered, high-fiving Liam.

Ella gave him a look of disbelief. "You're insane."

Before Liam could respond, Alessia stepped forward, her eyes narrowed in a mixture of worry and frustration. "That was the dumbest, most reckless thing I've ever seen. You could've been seriously hurt!"

Liam blinked, taken aback by the intensity of her words. He had been expecting praise, maybe even admiration, not a scolding. "Uh, well, I'm fine, aren't I? It's all part of the fun."

Alessia crossed her arms, not backing down. "Fun? That's what you call risking your life for a YouTube video?"

Joe, sensing the tension, quickly intervened. "Hey, how about we all grab some lunch? My treat. We can talk about this over food."

Liam, still somewhat stunned by Alessia's reaction, nodded. "Sure, sounds good."

The group headed to a nearby café, where they settled into a booth. As they waited for their orders, Liam began sharing stories from his YouTube adventures. Despite her initial irritation, Alessia found herself getting drawn in by his tales.

"There was this one time," Liam started, "where I thought it'd be a great idea to film a video about trying out different water sports in one day. I tried surfing, jet skiing, and finally, wakeboarding. Everything was going fine until I lost my balance on the wakeboard and got flung straight into the air. I ended up with a mild concussion and a lot of water up my nose."

Joe laughed. "I remember that! You could barely walk straight for a week!"

Alessia couldn't help but chuckle at the visual. "That sounds... horrible, but also kind of funny."

Liam grinned, glad to see her warming up to him. "Yeah, it wasn't my best moment, but it made for a good video. My audience loves it when things go wrong."

Ella rolled her eyes playfully. "Well, at least you're honest about it."

As the conversation continued, Liam found himself more and more intrigued by Alessia. She was witty, sharp, and unafraid to speak her mind. The initial friction between them slowly dissolved into a comfortable rapport, and by the time lunch was over, they were exchanging inside jokes like old friends.

As they all left the café, Liam caught Alessia's eye and smiled. "Maybe next time, I'll try something a bit less dangerous. No promises, though."

Alessia smirked. "I'll hold you to that. But seriously, take care of yourself. We don't need any more YouTube stunts gone wrong."

Liam nodded, appreciating the concern in her voice. "I will. And maybe we can hang out again sometime—under less risky circumstances?"

Alessia's smile softened. "I'd like that."

With a wave, they all parted ways, but something told Liam this wouldn't be the last time he'd see Alessia Russo. In fact, he was already looking forward to their next encounter.
