As soon as the notification popped up on his phone, Karl Jacobs froze, his fingers hovering over the screen. He remained in the same spot on his worn-out couch for the next several hours, hyped for the new video that had just uploaded.

It wasn't just the way she made people laugh. There was something magnetic about her. Every joke, every smile, every spontaneous reaction felt like it was pulled from a place of genuine joy.

WhosMaxAnyways had burst onto the streaming scene out of nowhere, a whirlwind of energy and raw talent. Her infectious laugh had a way of lighting up even the dullest streams, and her easy charm drew people in.

She was quick-witted, unafraid to poke fun at herself, and had a smile that could disarm anyone.

It wasn't long before her long brown hair and chocolate eyes had the internet swooning, though it was her clever humor that kept them hooked.

Karl had noticed her before most. In fact, he might've been her biggest fan before the rest of the world caught on. He didn't care who knew it either. 

During his streams, he couldn't stop himself from gushing about her. And every time he mentioned her, his chat would explode with excitement. The influx of followers that soon swarmed her stream, thanks to his shoutouts, was staggering. 

He was proud of that, knowing he played a part in helping her rise. It made him feel connected to her in some unspoken way.

Now, he scrolled through her latest videos, replaying his favorite moments. His phone buzzed again, this time with a DM notification. From her.

His heart skipped.

"Hey Karl! Want to collaborate? Let's stream something together :) I've been a huge fan of yours for a while now. Maybe it's time we teamed up?"

Karl blinked at the screen. Did she... really just message him? His palms felt sweaty as he stared at her words. A collab with WhosMaxAnyways? His chat would go insane. He might not recover.

This was something he had been dreaming about since he had first realised his fascination with Max might be more of a crush.

This was Karl Jacobs one chance, so he texted her back.

"That would be amazing. Send me your discord, and we can plan something soon!"

His heart practically fell out of his chest and into the world. He had done it. He had texted the girl of his dreams.

As his heart pounded in his chest, Karl managed to like and screenshot the tweet before turning off his phone facing the nearest pillow and screaming into it with pure joy.
