"Lucy, please end the video now."

A small blue-haired college student's head hit the table as she whined, the spicy ramen sitting in the bowl beside her filling all of her senses in all the worst ways. Her eyes would not stop watering, her mouth and throat felt like it had caught on fire, and she was beginning to break a sweat after downing nearly an entire bowl of the spiciest ramen they could find.

"Oh c'mon Levy, no fun," Lucy giggled beside the poor girl, looking the complete opposite of how Levy did considering she did not have a single bite of the death ramen. "Do it for the views," she smirked, nudging the bowl slightly toward the defeated blunette's head. Her subscribers were definitely gonna get a kick out of her best friend's suffering. They seemed to just be a bunch of sadists when it came to stuff like this, which is probably why they had asked her to do this in the first place.

"Views aren't worth this shit," Levy moaned. She shifted her head up a little to look at her blonde companion with pure resentment. "Remind me why you aren't doing this too?"

"I hate spicy food," Lucy stated simply with a shrug.

"I hate you," Levy fired back. Lucy couldn't hold back her laugh. Her half-dead roommate turned her head to look directly into the camera lens resting on a tripod behind the table in front of them. "I hate all of you too," she grumbled.

"I don't! Bye!" Lucy waved cheerfully at the camera lens before getting up from her seat and walking around the table to turn the camera off. She turned back to her best friend with a sympathetic smile before walking into the kitchen and opening the fridge.

"And this is for you," she walked back over to the dining area and placed a bottle of water on the table beside the bowl of hot ramen and Levy nearly snatched it out of her hand before downing all of its contents at record speed. She slammed the empty bottle back down on the table, looking up to glare at her blonde friend once more.

"I hate you," she repeated.

"Thanks for doing that for me," Lucy ignored her friend's scornful words. "I probably would have died if I had to eat that."

"I did die," Levy whined dramatically, looking more like herself already. She sighed before getting up from the table and walking over to the living area to plop down exhaustively on the couch. "We're never doing that again."

"Agreed, this is a mess," Lucy frowned at the mess of red ramen on the table from when Levy "accidentally" knocked over some of the contents in the bowl, which still sat there full of evil noodles waiting to be thrown out.

Hm…

She looked over into the living area to make sure Levy wasn't paying attention before picking a single noodle from the bowl and putting it in her mouth.

She immediately spit it back into the bowl, turning into a coughing and sputtering mess as the flavor burned her entire world. Levy instantly looked up from her phone at the sound of suffering in the form of her blonde roommate, raising an eyebrow before bursting into laughter at the realization of what Lucy just did.

"W-what the hell!" Lucy cried through coughs, sprinting to the fridge to get another bottle of water. "How did you manage to eat all that?"

"Maybe making me do the challenge instead was a better idea after all," Levy giggled at her suffering roommate.

As agonzing as it was, Levy was actually happy Lucy asked her to help with the video. She had contemplated having a channel of her own once upon a time, but she was too quiet and shy to actually do it. So she settled for her guest appearances on Lucy's channel.

Lucy had recently hit the 1 million subscriber milestone, and Levy could not be more happy for her. She worked hard on everything she did with the channel, and had been since the beginning of high school when she had a mere 15 subscriber count. She was now in her second year of college and was already well off enough with her YouTube job to drop school entirely and still be fine, but she remained in school for educational purposes. Her channel, named Celestial after a character from one of their favorite animes, was now a well-known name amongst a very large number of anime fans, and Levy had been by her side the whole way. She was more than happy to help with anything she needed assistance with, as a friend as well as a fan.

"Ugh, whatever," Lucy uttered, walking over to plop down on the couch beside her roommate, grabbing the remote that rested on the coffee table on the way and flipping on the flat screen smart TV mounted on the opposite wall. Pressing some buttons on the remote, she opened Netflix and began scrolling through the recommended shows. "We have to watch that new anime they put on Netflix last week. Everyone's asking me to review it," Lucy stated, her gaze fixed on the screen as she focused on finding what she was looking for.

"Are we watching the new Death Book live action movie too? I think they were asking about that," she scrolled through the comments on Lucy's last video, and sure enough, much of the suggestions were related to the supposedly terrible new movie that Netflix had recently released.

"Ugh. I can already tell that's gonna suck though. Did you see the trailer?" Lucy grimaced remembering the cringe fest, finally ceasing her scrolling when she found what she was looking for.

"Yeah but we still have to watch it," Levy sighed.

"Yeah," Lucy huffed. The things she did for her subscribers.

They spent the rest of the night watching the highly recommended anime, deciding to call it a day when the clock hit 3am, neither of them being able to keep their eyes open for much longer despite the show actually being quite good.

Lucy opted for a quick shower before heading to bed, though of course she didn't immediately close her eyes when she was comfortably in bed. She reached over and felt for her phone on the nightstand beside her in the darkness. When she finally found it she picked it up and brought it to her chest, unlocking it and opening the YouTube app. Her eyes immediately lit up at the sight of a new video posted by her favorite channel, Fairy Tail. It was an anime and gaming channel named after the same anime she'd named her channel after, ran by five amazing people. But her favorite member had to be Natsu. He often did videos with Gray, either playing games together or reviewing manga.

Over the years she had developed a huge crush on the pink-haired hothead, to an almost embarrassing degree. She had never actually met or talked to him, despite them both being well-known content creators (Fairy Tail had over 3 million subscribers!) that produced very similar stuff. She had had plenty of opportunities to meet of all of them at various conventions and events, but she was too socially awkward and scared to work up the courage to even attempt to talk to them, even though they all seemed like the nicest people she could never meet (besides Gajeel, but he was adorably grumpy). So she settled for just watching their videos from the comfort of her apartment in Hargeon.

The new video seemed to be a Natsu and Gray one, much to Lucy's excitement. She grew even more interested when she read the title:

ANSWERING YOUR PERSONAL QUESTIONS #GONESEXUAL #NOTCLICKBAIT #SUBCRIBE

She chuckled at the dumb title. God, she loved this channel. The thumbnail of the video, which was already at over 100,000 views despite being posted just today, showed a very amused looking Natsu, his million dollar grin making Lucy's stomach do weird things. He was looking at Gray from his spot on their usual couch setting, while Gray held his face in his hands, elbows resting at his knees. She tapped excitedly on the video, and blackness filled the screen as it buffered for a few seconds before Natsu and Gray's bodies appeared sitting on the yellow couch from the thumbnail.

"So we took to Twitter and asked y'all to give us some questions," right off the bat Natsu's voice bursted through the phone's speakers. He was on his phone, his cringe-smile growing as he continued to scroll through what was probably the questions he was just referring to. "I'm actually really scared to answer these," he chuckled, Lucy grinning amusedly at the sound of his apprehension.

Lucy saw the tweet they had posted a few days ago and had pondered asking a question before deciding against it, knowing both their fanbases would go wild at any sign of the two channels interacting, which would bring attention to herself that she really did not need at the moment.

"Why? It's not like your life is interesting," Gray jabbed from his spot on the couch with a smirk, scrolling through his own phone. Natsu responded immediately by throwing the pillow beside him at the black-haired YouTubers head.

"Fuck off, Elsa," Natsu shot back, and Lucy giggled at the insult.

"I'm not offended by that. Elsa is a strong ice queen, or something," Gray stated proudly.

"I'm glad you think that," Natsu smirked before looking into the camera lens to talk directly to his viewers. "Next video's gonna have Gray dressed up as Elsa the whole time," Natsu grinned, and Lucy briefly caught sight of Gray's jaw dropping when the video instantly cut and returned to Gray and Natsu after a split second. Lucy laughed, wondering what Juvia's reaction would be to that future video. Gray, who was now shirtless showing off his iconic tattoo that everyone in Fairy Tail had, spoke first this time. "Alright, first question. We're gonna start with the easy ones," he cleared his throat, glancing at his phone for a second before looking at Natsu. "How old are you?"

"20," Natsu stated simply with a yawn.

Lucy already knew how old they all were, being fans of them from the very beginning. Natsu was a year older than her, Gray was the same age, Gajeel had recently turned 21, Erza was 23 and Wendy was the youngest, being only 17. The fact that they were all in her age range just made them even more relatable.

"I am also 20," Gray chimed, looking back down at his phone for the next question. "Next question," he smirked before reading it out loud. "Do you have a crush?"

"No," Natsu said simply, though he began scratching the back of his head uncomfortably.

"You're a shitty liar," Gray chuckled.

"I don't!"

"Yeah? What about-" a black bar appeared over his mouth as the sound of a bleep played briefly, censoring out whatever Gray may have said. Whatever he said seemed to bother Natsu though, who launched himself at the man right then. The video cut before viewers could see anything that happened next before cutting back to them both sitting on the couch like normal, though Natsu seemed more red-faced than usual.

Lucy's inner fangirl cried inside. He had a girl he liked. How disappointing.

"Your turn," Natsu smirked devilishly, seemingly no longer flustered as he scrolled through his phone. Once he found a question that caught his interest, his eyes shot up to his apprehensive friend. "If you could fuck any YouTuber who would it be?"

Gray's eyes instantly widened into saucers. "W-what?! Don't ask me that!"

"Gotta answer it, we promised we'd answer our fans' personal questions," Natsu stated simply with, evil grin never leaving his face.

"But what if they watch our videos!" Gray exclaimed, hiding his face in his hands and thus answering the question of how the video thumbnail came to be.

"They'll probably just find it funny or something," Natsu shrugged.

After a long sigh and some contemplative moments spent staring at the ceiling, Gray finally spoke. "... Probably Lockser."

Now it was Lucy's turn for her jaw to drop. Juvia was going to lose her shit when she saw this. Her YouTube obsession had just admitted to being attracted to her, something she probably only expected to happen in her dreams.

The two proceeded to ask each other humiliating questions they found on Twitter, though Lucy had already known the answers to most of the ones that were asked, but she enjoyed the rest of video anyway. She loved watching every member of Fairy Tail, no matter what they did. They were always so funny and full of life, having fun with everything they did. She remembered a time when she had dreamed of joining the group herself, but now that she had created a name for herself she was more content with just watching them.

Finishing the video, she looked through some comments before locking her phone and placing it on the nightstand once more. She sighed contently. No better way to end the day than with a lovely dose of Fairy Tail and Natsu.

"Well there goes my chances of ever collabing with Lockser," Gray huffed, side eyeing his insufferable pink-haired partner in crime. Natsu merely shrugged in response.

"Don't blame me, blame the fans," He said nonchalantly, leaning back on the couch and continuing to scroll through Twitter. Gray responded by throwing the pillow Natsu had chucked at him earlier directly at his friend's face, knocking his phone out of his hands and sending it tumbling to the floor.

"Dick!" Natsu flung the pillow back with twice as much force, obviously not doing much. "Lockser probably wouldn't even collab with you anyway," he mumbled spitefully.

"Whatever," Gray crossed his arms and leaned back on the couch. "So which YouTuber would you fuck?" He questioned curiously with a smirk, secretly hoping for some ammunition against Natsu in the future.

"Great question!" Before Natsu could answer, their beautiful blue-eyed friend suddenly showed up in the archway entrance of their common area, where Gray looked up instantly muttering a "Shit!" under his breath at the sudden presence and Natsu stiffened.

"Hey Lisanna!" Gray greeted her cheerfully. She smiled wide at him briefly before walking over to sit between them on the couch, noting how a certain pair of eyes watched her the whole way.

"So do tell," her gaze met Natsu's as she nudged his shoulder with her own. "Which YouTuber would you fuck? Don't hold back on me now," she challenged.

"... Definitely Demon Soul," Natsu replied after a moment with an evil smirk. Lisanna gaped at him slightly before hitting him on the arm with a pseudo scoff before laughing at the fact that he just named her sister's channel.

"Not funny," She deadpanned despite her giggling.

"Who said I was joking," Natsu remarked blankly, his amused expression betraying his tone.

She hit him again and Gray chuckled at the two before getting up from his spot on the couch. "I'm gonna go bother Erza," he said casually, leaving the two in the room but not before directing look Natsu's way, in which Natsu rolled his eyes at.

Lisanna bent a knee on the couch, turning to face the remaining male fully. He met her gaze instantly. "So I have a question."

"I already told you I'd fuck Demon Soul," he joked.

She rolled her eyes. "Not that, dummy. Mira told me there was gonna be an anime convention in Crocus in a couple months. Are you guys going?"

"Yeah, we go every year." AniCon in Crocus was one of the biggest anime conventions in the world. It was one of Natsu's favorite events of the year, and because they had such a big fanbase they always did panels and signings where they could interact with fans and have an all around great time. They all loved going. "Why do you ask?"

"I want to come," she chimed excitedly, blue eyes sparkling as she smiled brightly.

Natsu grinned back a little, noting how pretty her smile was before eyeing her quizzically. "Do you realize it's an anime convention, right?" he questioned, knowing full well Lisanna had no interest in anime or anything even relating to it.

Lisanna looked down at her hands sheepishly. "Well, Mira and Elfman are going, and so is everyone else, so I'll just be here by myself for a week and that sounds very boring," she explained before grinning widely again. "So I wanna go too! Think you can fit another person into your plans?"

He smiled warmly at her. "Of course you can come," he said like it was the most obvious thing in the world. She smiled even bigger and tackled him with a hug that he returned with a laugh and a slight blush. "You're gonna be bored though."

"I'd be even more bored by myself!"

That was true. Being alone was pretty boring. "Good point."

There was a soft gasp that sounded like it came from the archway, and both heads turned to look at the new presence in the room. Whoever had been there ran away before they could see, but they did catch a glimpse of blue, indicating that a certain 17 year-old had just seen them in their position that could be possibly misinterpreted out of context.

They looked at each other, Lisanna giggling and Natsu's face heating up as he suddenly became very aware of their proximity. She had jumped into Natsu's lap in her excitement when she hugged him, probably giving Wendy the wrong idea.

"Let's go tell them," Natsu tried to say as calmly as possible, needing to get out of this situation as soon as possible.

He'd had the biggest crush on his white-haired childhood friend since middle school, and no matter how many times he denied it everyone seemed to know.

Well, everyone besides her.

Lisanna was a very 'touchy' individual who, much like him, had almost no sense of personal space. Out of everyone else in their group, she seemed to be closest to Natsu, which was both a blessing and a curse for her pink-haired friend.

On one hand, Natsu enjoyed her constant touches and invasion of space as it allowed him to be closer to her. But on the other hand it was straight up torture sometimes, since they were just friends and she never showed any signs of wanting more.

As such, he struggled to keep his cool as she straddled him on the couch with her arms wrapped tightly around him.

Thankfully, Lisanna nodded at his request, and they left the living room to find the rest of Natsu's housemates (minus one, Gajeel almost never left his room) doing their own individual things in the kitchen. At the counter island Gray was shoveling giant scoops of ice cream into a large bowl. Erza sat at the dining table, scrolling through Twitter with a large helping of strawberry cake, and Wendy was filling up two small bowls for their her cat, Carla, and Natsu's cat, Happy. The two cats came scurrying into the kitchen at the sound of the food being shaken out of the box, brushing past the two newcomer's legs.

Upon noticing the new people in the room, Gray, Erza and Wendy all looked up from what they were doing to see who had entered. Wendy's cheeks tinted red slightly, remembering what she had seen mere minutes ago.

"So Lisanna's coming to Crocus with us this year," Natsu stated right off the bat, earning grins from everyone else in the room.

"That's good to hear," Erza smiled, "It'll be more fun with more people."

"Are you sure you'll be able to handle a huge con like that?" Gray laughed.

"I'll manage," Lisanna giggled. "I just don't wanna be here alone. Everyone's going this year."

"Awesome," Wendy piped up, momentarily forgetting what she had seen. "Do you watch anime?"

Lisanna sheepishly tucked a lock of white hair behind her ear. "No, but," she shrugged. "I like Pikachu!" she grinned almost proudly.

The room collectively chuckled at her mention of the widely-known Pokemon. She picked a random small plush doll off the floor, probably left there by one of the cats after they had finished playing with it. "And this," she held up the figure of a brown dog-cat looking animal. "Is uh, Charizard?"

Everyone laughed even harder, Gray bracing himself on the counter to keep himself from falling over in mirth. Erza and Wendy whipped a hand over their mouths in an attempt to stifle her increasingly loud giggling. Natsu amusedly dragged a hand down his face as he laughed along with them, taking the plush Eevee doll from her hands. Lisanna giggled along with them, not embarrassed but rather amused at herself for possibly making a grave error.

"A for effort," Natsu chuckled, placing the doll back on the floor for the cats to play with again later.

Once everyone sobered Erza smiled up at their guest from her seat. "Are you staying for dinner, Lisanna?"

She looked up in thought, realizing she had absolutely nothing to do today and grinning. She nodded and joined Erza at the table. "Yeah, why not?"

"Cool," Gray grinned, pulling his phone from his pocket to call their local pizza place. "Am I getting two pies or three?"

"Three," Everyone declared simultaneously in mutual agreement.

"I say we get four."

"That is way too much, Natsu," Erza snapped.

"But-"

She glared daggers at him, violent promises swimming in her brown eyes.

"Y-yes ma'am!"

Gray snickered and muttered something that sounded suspiciously like "pussy" under his breath.

"What was that, ice dick?!" Natsu rushed towards the counter island where his his droopy eyed housemate smirked smugly.

Gray dropped his ice cream scoop on the counter, prepared and eager to fight. "I said you're a-"

Before Gray could finish his sentence Natsu had practically jumped over the counter island to tackle him to the ground. Before he could actually cause any actual harm, however, in a flash the older redhead appeared behind him and grabbed the back of his shirt roughly. He stilled immediately, fear instantly replacing anger.

"What do you think you're doing?" Erza said with an eerie calmness, frightening Natsu even more.

"But he just-"

She moved to stand between the two before smacking them both hard over the head. They whined at the sudden pain, grasping at where she had hit them. "Stop acting like children," she scolded with a scowl before returning to her strawberry cake. Lisanna giggled at the interaction that she seemed to see every time she visited.

Everyone paused as they suddenly heard a very loud, angry yell coming from upstairs.

"Is that..?"

"Gajeel. He's probably doing a video."

"Ah."

Lisanna loved coming over.

Lucy scrolled through the comments of her last video, relieved that people didn't seem to mind that she made Levy do that ramen challenge instead of doing it herself.

"They love you," Lucy giggled at her blue-haired roommate who sat across from her at the table, eating a fluffy and thankfully not spicy croissant. The smaller woman cringed as she remembered the evil noodles she had to ingest last night.

"They better," she muttered. "That was horrible."

Both their phones suddenly vibrated from their spots on the table, both girls looking down at their screens and exchanging giggles as Juvia spammed their Snapchat group chat.

OMF

OMG

GUYS

GUYSS

DID

OMG

GRAY

LAST NIGHT

THE VIDEO

DID YOU WTAHC IT

IM SCREAMINF

ICANT

"Do you think she saw the video?" Levy questioned with mock curiosity.

"Hm, possibly," Lucy hummed, picking up her mug and taking a small sip of her tea.

The bluenette continued to ceaselessly spam short bursts of fangirlisms. They laughed as the short individual messages quickly filled the whole screen before a new line with a purple box beside a "tap to view" appeared, indicating she had just sent a video. They both opened it at the same time, the sound of the video in sync as it played on both their devices.

The camera was directed towards her laptop, which showed an internet browser opened to the YouTube video Fairy Tail had posted last night. They caught a short glimpse of Juvia's finger as she pressed the spacebar on her laptop, resuming the video.

"If you could fuck any YouTuber who would it be?"

"W-what?! Don't ask me that!"

"Gotta answer it, we promised we'd answer our fans' personal questions."

"But what if they watch our videos!"

"They'll probably just find it funny or something."

"... Probably Lockser."

She pressed the spacebar again and flipped the camera view over to her face, and Lucy instantly giggled uncontrollably at her absolutely gobsmacked expression.

"I-I just-" She stammered before shutting her eyes tightly and letting out a loud squeal that was cut off after a split second as the short video ended.

Their fingers moved on their screens as they responded to their friend.

Levy:

I think I see a collab in your future ;)

Lucy:

You should comment on the video lol

Let him know you're very interested c;

Juvia:

ABSOLUTELYNOT

They continued to talk to their animated YouTuber friend before she left the chat, likely to fangirl to other unassuming souls.

"You should do a video like that," Levy suggested. "People would love it,"

Lucy pondered the idea for a bit before shaking her head. "My life isn't interesting enough."

"They won't be asking about your life, they'll be asking about you. C'mon, let the world know your darkest secrets."

"They probably already know everything," Lucy laughed, doing something on her phone before moving to the living room to get the camera. "But sure, I'll do it. Sounds like fun."

"We're doing this right now?" Levy blanched, noticing Lucy fumbling with the tripod.

"No, I just sent out the tweet." The blonde moved the tripod with the camera on it in front of the couch before disappearing into the hallway. "We start after I change," she called out before the sound of a door opening and closing.

30 minutes later found Lucy walking back into the living room wearing a simple leggings and plain oversized grey sweater ensemble, ready to possibly embarrass herself on camera with overly personal questions. Levy sat on the couch behind the sofa, looking up at the blonde with a grin when she entered.

"There's so many questions already," Levy grinned, looking back down at her phone. "Can I choose them?"

"Sure," Lucy said simply without thinking, turning on the camera and plopping down on the sleek grey couch in front of it, missing the evil smirk that graced her roommate's friend for the briefest of moments.

"Perfect," she responded with a hint of mischief that Lucy didn't catch.

Once she was settled, Lucy took a deep breath, smiling widely after breathing out.

"Alright," she clapped her hands together, staring into the camera lens. "So I asked you guys on Twitter to send me some questions," she gushed excitedly. Levy smiled gleefully at her best friend. She was always so much brighter and happier when she was behind a camera.

"Levy's gonna read them out to me and I'm gonna answer them to the best of my ability, so without further ado," Lucy closed her eyes as she gave a large grin to the camera before opening them and pointing to Levy, who couldn't be seen in the shot as she was sitting behind the camera. "Let's get started."

"Alright…" Levy began scrolling through the questions, patiently awaiting her opportunity for revenge after the spicy ramen incident of 2018. "First question, are you single?"

Levy giggled and wiggled her brows suggestively at her friend, who chuckled at the question. "Yes," she stated simply. "To not be single you have to actually go out and like, socialize," she shrugged. "That isn't really my thing." One of the reasons Lucy loved making videos so much was the fact that she could express herself to others without actually interacting with them directly and triggering her social awkwardness.

Levy continued to ask her various weird questions from "What's your cup size?" to "If you could be any tree, what kind of tree would you be?" before she finally decided it was time for her payback plan to commence.

"Next question," the casual smile she had been sporting throughout the recording suddenly shifted onto the evil side, and by the time Lucy noticed it was too late. "If you could bang any YouTuber, who would it be?"

Lucy gaped at her backstabbing best friend, unable to believe this betrayal. "I'm not answering that!" she cried.

"Oh come on, I ate spicy ramen for you," Levy replied innocently, pulling the guilt card.

"Nope, you can't guilt trip me on this."

"What's the worst that can happen," Levy argued. "He asked the same thing to Gray, so it's not like he's exactly sensitive about the topic," Levy giggled.

Lucy closed her eyes and let out an exasperated sigh, deciding her roommate had a point. There was also a small part of her that actually wanted to see how her YouTube crush would react if he saw this. It's not like she had to actually talk to him. It was just a funny question for a video.

She couldn't let her fans down.

"Hm… If I could bang any YouTuber..." She pretended to look up in thought before her grin returned.

"... It'd be Natsu from Fairy Tail."
