Lams One-Shots

Internet Famous

Alexander was a YouTuber. A very famous one, at that. He had almost 5 million subscribers and did a live-stream every now and then. 

He loved his views, but they could be a little overbearing. He was dating John, who had extreme anxiety and was incredibly shy when you first meet him. Alex had referenced his boyfriend many times. He told a story about meeting John and asking for their privacy, as they know lived together. And he never showed a picture of John or anything, John was his to protect. Yet, with a life that he lived, people were dying to meet Alex's boyfriend. 

"C'mon Peaches," Alexander said, John's head in his chest. "It's not like they know where we live, you just have to say in my YouNow and then you can head into the bedroom and watch The Breakfast Club or something."

"No," John mumbled, burying his face further into Alex's YouTuber sweatshirt. "I don't wanna."

"But they all love you," Alex said, reading off a few comments about John. 

"They don't know me," John reminds him. "Only through you, and you only tell them good things about me."

Alexander let out a laugh. "That's because you're all around amazing."

John smiled, Alexander made him happy. He let Alexander run his fingers through John's curly hair, humming a soft tune. "Will it make you happy if I just say hello to your viewers?"

"I mean, it will, but it's completely up to you. I love you, babe."

"Then I'll do it."

liveshow in five minutes! and john's gonna say hello (yes this is clickbait, im not even ashamed)

"Hey, what's up guys!" Alex smiled, waving to his laptop. Comments began to flood in. "Yes, yes, John's gonna say hello in a few minutes."

"Where is he now? says HerculesMullLover666. Nice username, by the way. He's in our bedroom, I'm pretty sure he's watching a movie." Alex began to read aloud comments from the chat.

"When's the next time you're gonna collab with Angie? asks elizaHamshipper. I'm planning a collab with all the sisters soon, they're coming over to film a challenge video in a few weeks, I'll keep you updated on that. I think Lafayette is maybe gonna come as well, but you can never be sure with that man." Alexander chuckled at the username. People shipped all sorts of things. 

"WHERE'S JOHN??? in all caps," Alexander read aloud. "Chill out, hamboi_3, he's coming soon."

Alexander began an engaged discussion about space cats when he realized he should probably call John in soon before John had some sort of panic attack while waiting. He always got anxious when waiting for something too long. 

"John?" Alexander called. "You can say hi now!"

Close to the camera, Alexander whispered, "He's really shy, guys, don't judge him too harshly, he's not used to this stuff."

John came out, fiddling with his hands in his sweater-paws. He was wearing Alex's sweatshirt, his hair tied back in a messy ponytail. He sat down at the couch, next to Alexander. He grabbed Alex's hand, squeezing it tightly. 

The chat flooded with comments about John, making both John and Alexander a little nervous. 

awwww he's so cute

hi john1! i love ur hair

ooh hes wearing alex's sweatshirt...kinky

johnnnnnnnnnjohnjohnjohnjohn

There were a few hateful ones, saying Alexander should be dating Eliza or Angelica or something, but Alexander ignored those. John tried too, and it ended up being okay because everyone else seemed to like him. He blushed, a little flustered and embarrassed but happy. 

"H-hey guys, I'm John," he tried his best not to stutter over his words as he gave an awkward, shy little wave. "Alex talked about me before...there's...there's not a lot to say."

"Hey John, how annoyed is Alexander in the mornings?" Alex read aloud from the chat before giving a fake-offended look. 

John giggled (making everyone in the chat simply implode of cuteness). "Alex is a beast in the mornings. He's just about ready to cut someone before he gets his coffee." His fear begins to slowly wash away. He knows he'd be dead if Alex wasn't there, encouraging him. "But I love him anyways." 

Alex puts a hand over his heart. "Aw, thank you, Peaches." He places a kiss on John's cheek, making John's freckled-cheeks light up, bright red. 

"Alexander," he scolds. "N-not on camera!"

"Aw, they don't mind," Alex protests. "Do you?"

no not at all

kiss again

you two should make out

he's so out of ur league alex (Alexander laughed at that comment and responded with an "I know, right?")

After a few more minutes, John stood up. "Alright, I'm gonna go now, guys. T-thank and it was nice to meet you. Maybe I'll make a video with Alex someday, who knows?" Alexander, himself, was shocked to hear this. John's always been adamant that he didn't want his face on Alexader's channel. Maybe doing the liveshow was a good thing, opening his up a little. 

After the liveshow ended, Alexander called John out. "How did the rest go? Did they like me?"

Alexander placed a chaste kiss on John's lips and nodded. "They did, they really did. How could they not, you're perfect."

"You're just saying that because you're my boyfriend." John blushed, but smiled as wider than he thought possible. 

"Herc and Laf and The Sisters think you're great," Alex points out, handing John a cup of coffee. 

"That's because they're our best friends, and stuff." John laughs. "When are you gonna collab with them, we haven't seen them in months."

"Soon," Alex promised. "Now about this video you're gonna do with me...what was that about?" Alex grinned when he said this. 

John blushed. "Maybe...just maybe, I thought that the whole liveshow thing was a little fun. Nerve-wracking but fun. I thought it would be nice to maybe do a video with you some day if you'd like."

Alexander smiled, hugging John close to him. "I'd love that."

It took awhile for John to completely get used to the idea of being known for all the internet and even longer for him to get over his fears adn anxiety. But soon, he had his own channel "turtlelaurens" and began to grow in the YouTube community himself.

And Alex was with him, every step of the way.
