I walked along the cold streets of London, my disposable cup of coffee in my hands to keep them warm. It was the beginning of November, and I had forgotten to wear gloves. I took a sip and pulled my headphones out (which was connected to my phone) and pushed them in my ears. I grabbed my phone and selected my Fall Out Boy album, the first song played being Young Volcanoes. I began to jam to it, not playing attention to where I was walking.

Suddenly, I ran into a tall figure, my coffee slamming into his chest. I gasped, pulling my headphones out.

"Oh god, I'm so sorry!" I cried, embarrassed at what I had done. He chuckled.

"Eh, its fine. I'll just wash the shirt." My heart stopped as I heard his voice.

Oh shit, I thought, looking up. I saw a boy who had a brown fringe which was just above his eyes. It's Dan Howell.

He looked down at me and smiled, showing me his beautiful dimples which had always made me melt while I watched his videos.

"I'm going to Starbucks, if you want you can join me and I can get you a new coffee." My eyes widened. Dan Howell was asking ME, a lame, extremly hated YouTuber who he probably didn't know, to Starbucks to get me a coffee. I nodded quickly. He noticed my expression and grinned.

"I guess you know who I am?" He asked. I nodded again and blushed.

"I-I've been watching you since 'Hello Internet.'" I looked at my feet and smiled, remembering his awkwardness in it. He grinned and hugged me (more like he engulfed me into his chest, the boy was so bloody tall!). My eyes widened again as I blushed and hugged him back. He smelt like Maltesers and tea, which was a nice combination.

"Thanks for being a Danisaur for so long, mate!" He told me, pulling away while still smiling. I smiled back.

"Well, thanks for making videos!" I exclaimed. He chuckled again.

We began walking to the Starbucks and I told him about my channel. When I mentioned the name, his face lit up.

"You're SassyBrit?!" He looked at my face, making sure I wasn't lying. When he realised I truly was, his facial expression darkened a bit. "How do you deal with all the hate?" He asked me, looking into my eyes. "It seems like that's all you get."

I looked down, once again remembering last night. "I have ways." He gave me a questioning look, but dropped it as we enter Starbucks.

"What do you want?" He asked, pulling out £15.

"Oh, I'll buy my own!" I insisted, pulling out my wallet. He shook his head and asked once again. I sighed, giving in.

"One cinnamon latte, extra cream please." I told him, flipping some of my fringe out of my fair. He nodded and pointed to a table he wanted to sit at. I walked to it and sat on one side, waiting for my drink. Dan Howell is buying you a coffee. I thought, smiling to myself.

"Cinnamon latte, extra cream." Dan said while smiling, placing my cup on the table. I nodded in thanks and took a sip of it. Dan sat down, his own cup in his hands.

"So," Dan started, staring at me. "You've never mentioned your actual name in your videos. What is it?" I blushed.

"Alexis. Alexis Tilly Julianne." I looked at my hand, twiddling my thumbs. Dan smiled at me.

"That's a beautiful name, very suiting for such a beautiful girl." He said, still staring at me. I blushed more.

"T-thank you. That means alot coming from you." I said, still feeling the blush. He raised an eyebrow.

"And why's that?" He asked, causing me to scoff.

"You are Daniel James Howell, internet cult leader and member of the Dantesers ship." He smiled.

"And your also the guy I've been crushing on for almost 5 years." I said under my breath, but guessing by the coughing from choking on coffee, he heard. Well shit.
