- Your POV -
I wake up to the sound of my dog Axel barking outside to a small squirrel in a tree. I pull myself out of bed, putting on my fluffy bear slippers and letting Axel inside so he's no longer a pain. He jumps up on me, and being the golden retriever he is, he almost makes me fall back onto the couch.

"Aww buddy, come on," I laugh, gently moving him off me. I go to the bathroom, glaring into the mirror at my oily (h/c) hair, all tied back in a messy bun. Shower time.

After about an hour or so, I was finally ready to start the day. With having a bowl of cinnamon crunch for breakfast and making an effort to do my hair, I didn't look half bad today. I walk into my recording room and check if the video had uploaded, and it had, with quite possibly the most likes and comments I've ever had! People are clearly pleased that I'm playing with what they call the Vanoss crew, awesome. And I gained over 500 subs, that's not bad. Then I see one comment that started a bunch of replies:

'Oh I so ship Basically and (yt/n), when Marcel said her name and all those nice things about her! Omg." There were then over 100 replies saying stuff like 'I ship it' and 'aww cute.' I should have probably edited the bits out when he gave me all those compliments, I guess he felt bad for calling me an idiot. Oh well, it's not like me and Marcel are gonna be a thing, I mean, we've only just met, and I wouldn't even say met.

It was around 6 in the afternoon when I finally received a message from Marcel, I didn't want to message first in case I came across weird or desperate.

"Hey (y/n), ready to play?" I reply back,

"Yeah sure, what game?" A few minutes go by where both off is are suggesting games, then an old favourite of mine comes up.

"What about Battlefield 1? We can team up against stranger and whatever."

"Umm is that even a question! That sounds awesome!"
As we got the game started we were put straight into the action, the sound of Marcel yelling and gun fire filled my ears via my new headphones. Seeing Marcel rage every time he was killed by the same person 7 times in a row was amazing, I couldn't stop laughing. I'll admit, I did swear a bit too much when it happened to me. In the end, our team managed to take over the other area, but then died again. It had been about 2 or 3 hours, I lost count, anyway, I was getting hungry. I hadn't had dinner beforehand, and I was too lazy to cook anything, I think Marcel felt the same.

"Umm hey, Marcel? I was wondering if you wanted to come to mine for dinner, it would just be pizza or something, nothing fancy. Maybe we could watch a movie afterwards?"

- Marcel's POV -

Was that even a question? Somehow in the little time I've known (y/n) I've fallen for her, even though I haven't actually met her. Her personality is different, she's a gamer, her voice you could listen to for hours, no. Days on end!

"Yes! I mean- yeah sure, sounds good." Good job Marcel you bloody idiot, playing it cool. She told me her address and said she'll pay and get the pizza dropped off, turns out we both enjoyed the same flavour pizza, cool.

As I pulled up to (y/n)'s apartment, I jolt of all emotions hit me. What if she doesn't see me the same way I see her? What if she only sees me as a friend? But then again, there's a chance we both feel the same way... there's no point in turning around now, I said I'd come for dinner and here I am, so here goes nothing.

- Your POV -

As I'm setting the table with plates and drinks, I hear a slight knock at the door, must be him! Oh my god what should I say? This isn't gonna work to how I planned out. Playing with Marcel today made me look at him from a different perspective, he's almost just like me! It's amazing! Okay (y/n), you can do this, it's as easy as saying hi and letting him in.
As I walk to the door I quickly straighten up my shirt and jeans that I had on all day, I hope I don't look underdressed. I open the door, revealing the voice I can now put a face to. He actually looks so cute! What the hell!

"Uhh, hey Marcel," okay, just keep calm, let's just hope my heart doesn't jump out of my chest.

"Hey (y/n), sorry that I'm a bit late, I got caught up in traffic," he seems nervous, if I were in his shoes I would be too.

"It's fine, come in," he walks inside, it doesn't seem like he dressed up, what am I saying, it's just dinner, it's not like we're going anywhere.

We both sit down on the couch, my social awkwardness hits in. It's always different when you actually meet the person you've just known by voice, and I was nervous as hell.

"The pizza guy should he here soon I hope, you wanna watch TV or something? Or just talk?" Okay, you're alright (y/n), my heart rate calms down and I start to feel less awkward.

"Let's just talk I guess," he smiles, oh my god he's hot!

- Marcel'a POV -

God (y/n)'s so beautiful, I thought she would be but my expectations were stabbed in the chest and murdered when I actually saw her. The way her hair drapes over her shoulders, her (e/c) eyes shimmer in the light, her voice is like listening to your favourite song over and over. It's just perfect.

"Sorry about the yelling in Battlefield 1, that kid that kept killing me pissed me off so much," i laugh, rubbing the back of my neck. She laughs, another thing to add to the list of perfections.

"Yeah don't worry, i got pretty angry as well when he came after me."

For a while we kept on the topic of games, then it went to YouTube, before YouTube and then family. I learnt heaps of new things off her, it was amazing.

"God this pizza delivery guy is taking his precious time," she sighs from both amusement and annoyance. She gets up, walking to the front door and checking if someone has been here. Opening the door, she has to step back at what she sees. "What the... Marcel. Marcel!" She sounds as if she's in complete and utter fear.
