Tumblr Fangirl turned YouTuber Girlfriend?!

2nd

SillyNate is genuinely just as nice as in hisvideos and what is more adorable than protectiveness he has for Abbey?

I was prepared to have my dream illusion shattered but boy, was I wrong.

I couldn't believe that he's actually on the other end of that phone conversation? And he sounded so nice and so worried about Abbey's safety. It made question whether I had underestimated the responsibility I put on myself as her self-proclaimed bodyguard.

"Nate, I'll be fine," Abbey reassured her boyfriend on the phone.

I was just dying of feels and made a big spectacle out of it for her, which made her silently chuckle my way.

"I'm here with one of my classmates and I don't think people care about me. They just want to see the special. Talk to you later, okay? Oh, and could you wish Dan good luck? Apparently, this project is his baby. Let him know how much I and the other audience members look forward to it?"

He knew about me. He knew about my existence now or he already sort of knew that because he'd reblogged my GIFs before but this was different. Very different. It was easy to build up someone you only saw through a screen but he was actually in the building and currently talking to the girl next to me.

"Of course," I heard him say through the phone and praised my great hearing once more. I secretly loved eavesdropping. I always wanted to know what was going on.

"Abbs, I've got to go. I'll find you after the show, okay? Don't get into trouble and don't be afraid to contact staff members if you're feeling uncomfortable, promise?" he said and I caught every word. Maybe he was also quite a loud speaker?

He was the sweetest though.

"I promise," Abbey said as a small almost invisible smile played on her lips.

"It's so sweet how much he cares about you. It's so odd to hear you so affectionate, I've never seen that in vlogs," I couldn't help myself from saying.

He was funny and kind in vlogs and seemed like a great guy but it became obvious to me that even if I liked to think I knew him really well – I didn't. Not fully. He had sides that only his loved ones got to see. He probably had a side only Abbey got to see.

It was a bit surreal knowing that I stood next to the object of his affections. I understood his love for her completely. She was extremely caring, secretly funny and simply gorgeous and I had learned that just on the short train journey over to BBC.

I pulled her into a hug, unable to express my admiration for her any other way. I was always very physical with my affection and I really liked her.

"Did you have a bad experience with a crowd?" I asked after letting her go, she tensed the moment I released her.

Don't worry, Abbey, you'll get used to my hugs, I thought with a smug grin. Even the shyest people warmed up to me eventually.

"It's kind of personal, but yeah, I had a bad experience last week at Playlist. People got too close and I froze."

Oh, that explained Nate's worry. I wanted to press her for more information. That was me – always hungry for more knowledge but I held my tongue. She seemed reluctant to reveal anything at all and I had no intention of pushing her past her boundaries.

"Don't worry, if someone gets too close, I'll plough them down for you," I said and swung an arm around her shoulder protectively. This time she tensed less at the physical contact and a small smile played on her lips.
