So in this one I've tried to recreate the way how Otaybek and Yuri (Plisetsky) met in Yuri on ice for the second time, changing a lot of stuff of course. If you haven't 't seen the series don't worry you'll still get the plot and some of the daily amount of Minizerk that you need.

Enjoy 🙃

It sucks to be a celebrity these days. It always did, always will. But now in the 21st century it was the worst, with all the cameras, cell phones and whatnot around, nobody can have a normal life if they are at least semi-popular.

Like youtubers. Yes youtubers. I know what you're thinking,  they are nkt even celebrities, they don't get chased by paparazzis or attacked by crazy people for attention so they have to hire bodyguards to escort them everywhere. No. But they have to deal with fans a lot of times when they don't feel like it. Of course they appreciate their support and the fact that they keep watching their videos, since this is the way how they could keep up doing what they love, but they're also humans who can have bad days too.

Although some of them only do this for the views and the money, so they don't have to go and find another job where they're not their own bosses. However the main character of this story isn't one of those people.

Simon Minter.  Miniminter. A well known youtuber with over 7 million subscribers just on his main channel, was currently being chased by crazy fans after he'd left a Nero Café. Normally he would've stopped and took pictures with them, but today just wasn't his day. Besides those fans were odd.

He'd woke up with a killer headache and he just wanted to get out a bit to walk and breathe in some fresh air.

But when he got his drink he heard girls giggling behind his back and a camera clicking. He smiled at the girls in an attempt to ask them nonverbally if they wanted a selfie together instead of just a pic of his back. The girls acted like they didn't do anything and ignored his presence. So he left. And that was a big mistake.

He started walking down a street to reach the Underground. That's when he had heard the giggling continue behind him. He sped up his steps, not daring to look back, turning in corners so many times he didn't even know where he was anymore. But he could still hear it along with people shouting his name and telling him to wait up. He didn't wait up tho'. He started running until he ended up in an alley where he thought he was safe.

"I can still smell him!" He heard not far away from him, the sentence making his  racing heart beat  even more fast.

"Come this way!" A different girl shouted, making Simon realise he didn't have much more time to waste there or he had to face them.

He scratched his head discarding his cup into a nearby trashcan and quickly hid behind a wall as he'd seen more people coming towards his directon.

"Shit." He mumbled thinking about giving in and showing himself for them, not caring about some bad pictures of him.

He almost stepped out in the open when he heard an ear-splitting roar of a motorcycle. The vehicle stopped next to him and the driver,  seemingly in his early twenties,  gave him a questioning look. He was wearing black pants and a leather jacket with a grey t-shirt underneath it. His boots made him look even more badass as he was sitting on that black bike.

"You coming or not?" He asked with a stern voice throwing a helmet at the flabbergasted Simon, who  managed to catch it with ease.

The blonde boy hesitated for a second observing the other man's face. He looked awfully familiar to him he just couldn't pinpoint why. Despite he could've been a serial killer or a 'simple' murderer, a lunatic as far as he knew, he didn't gave Simon those kind of feelings.

Unfortunatelly there was no time for him to think about it for more, since somebody shouted his name out from behind them. So he hopped on behind him and put on the helmet. The man started up the engine and drove off to God knows where.

They passed several shopping centres, offices and other giant buildings, slowly leaving the city center. Simon never really liked the idea of using a motorbike due to it being so dangerous. Not only for its passenger and driver, but for the other people on the roads too.

As the man swerved between cars, buses and literally anything that moved, made him question his decision of getting on that thing. He had to wrap his arms around his waist for protection that he didn't enjoy, not even for a second.

When they'd finally stopped they were nowhere near London anymore, but somewhere up high on a hill. The blonde boy didn't understand why did the man had to take him so far away. They were only teenage girls not the freaking maffia.

Getting of the bike Simon noticed that his 'captor' had already removed his own helmet and was actually very good looking. His dark brown hair, his beard and those eyes were just too familiar.

"Wait. Aren't you Zerkaa? The  Fifa slash Cod youtuber?" He raised an eyebrow making a guess.

The man 'Zerkaa' nodded also getting off of the bike. "And you are Miniminter."

"You know my name?" Simon gasped handing him back the helmet that he was wearing.

"Of course I know Simon." He spoke clearly his voice never leaving that stern tone. "I'm surprised that you knew mine."

Simon looked down at the view below them. It was truly magnificent. There was a medow there surrounded by some trees with blooming flowers and the greenest grass he'd ever seen.

"Why wouldn't I know it? You're famous." He smiled making the other man shrug.

"Not as famous as you are." He paused for a second walking closer to the blonde. "But I don't only know you because you are famous. We've met before."

"Really?" Simon raised an eyebrow at him. "I don't remember." He confessed after some time.

"I'm not surpised." He shook his head chuckling almost out of character. "I was not really someone to write a song about. Not memorable. Besides you were drunk and I was just the guy who tagged along."

"When did this happen?" Simon furrowed his eyebrows trying to get some memories back.

"During a Gamescom back in 2012. You were there with your friend JJ or KSI. But I suppose you weren't one of us back then yet." He ran a hand through his neatly done hair and sighed. "I'm Josh by the way."

"Oooh that Gamescom." Simon hummed getting some idea which event he was talking about. "I still don't remember you, sorry. And yeah I knew that your name is Josh." He smiled at him apologetically.

They stood their enjoying their view, below them, and next to them from side glance from time to time.

"Why did you save me Josh?" Simon asked eventually studying his face more as he did so.

"I  just happened to see you running away from people as  I was casually riding my bike and I assume that you could use some help. So I drove up to you." He shrugged his tone finally turning softer as he smiled lightly.

"Thank you." Simon grinned at him not sure if he should hug him or not. "I don't know many people who would do the same, you know. I don't know any if I think about it..."

"Don't mention it." Josh shrugged it off turning away from him for a bit, looking down. "Friends?"  Changing his mind he abruptly turned back extending his hand towards
Simon.

"Friends." He gladly shook and then pulled him into a hug. "You're the first youtuber who wanted to be my friend."

Pulling away from the hug Josh raised an eyebrow at him. " Really? Then what about JJ?"

"That was before he became one." Simon smiled his eyes never leaving his savior. "You're my hero you know that right?" He chuckled giving him a genuine smile.

Josh smiled shaking his head. "What kind of hero am I without getting the princess' heart who I just saved? Sorry prince's." He corrected himself after that poor attempt of flirting.

"How about the hero takes the prince out to a date first then they can talk about that fairy tale kiss?" Simon giggled already thinking about not waiting for that to happen just kissing him then and there.

"Deal."
