"I can't believe your apartment floor collapsed," Lucy said as she followed Levy up the stairs of the apartment complex.

"I know! I know my books are heavy but those floors were definitely not built up to code. Thank God nobody was hurt! Not even my books." The other day the floor of Levy's apartment had collapsed under the weight of her new bookshelves. The shelving had crashed into the ground floor apartment below. Neither Levy or her neighbor had been home but it had been quite a shock for both of them. It turned out that the landlord had cheaped out on the support beams and neglected the safety of his tenants. Needless to say, Levy and her neighbor were suing him and Levy was looking for a new place to live.

"And thank God you have a boyfriend who's letting you crash at his place." Lucy nudged Levy with her shoulder as her blue-haired friend blushed. Levy had temporarily moved in with her boyfriend, Gajeel, and was storing her stuff (primarily her MASSIVE collection of books) between his place, Lucy's, and a storage unit.

"I'm just on the couch." Lucy gave her friend a disbelieving look. "Okay, maybe that was just one night…"

"That sounds about right." Lucy laughed as Levy flushed an even darker shade of crimson than she was already. Levy unlocked the door to Gajeel's apartment and when Lucy walked in she was quite surprised at what she found. Amid the general apartment clutter and Levy's books were controllers for almost every popular gaming system and even more video games strewn about the room. Bioshock Infinite, Uncharted, Call of Duty, Battlefront, Shadow of Mordor, and so many more were everywhere around the very expensive entertainment center with a huge flat-screen, surround sound, and all the systems to match the controllers.

"Wow! Levy, I didn't know Gajeel was so into video games."

"Oh no! Those aren't his. Don't get me wrong, he plays every once and awhile but pretty much all of this is his cousin's. Apparently, Natsu is some kind of famous gamer on Youtube called Salamander."

"Damn, all this is his?"

"I know right! And this isn't even all of it. He has even more in his room. He keeps all his recording equipment and 'PC games' in there."

"How does he afford it all?" Levy shrugged.

"According to him and Gajeel, he's pretty popular. It pays well enough that he's a full-time Youtuber." Lucy's eyebrows shot up. Levy had told her stories about this weird cousin and none of them would lead her to believe that he was some kind of successful Youtube celebrity.

"This is the same Natsu who accidentally lit himself on fire trying to boil water?" Levy cringed but nodded.

"Yeah, when he's not being a famous gaming nerd Natsu tends to accidentally light himself on fire… A LOT…" Levy trailed off. "Anyway, we should probably get to studying." She set down her bag on the coffee table and started pulling out her textbooks. Lucy did the same and they began working on their homework for Professor Freed's class. They were midway through a rune translation when it started. "

"Yo Guys!" Lucy and Levy jumped hearing the loud voice coming from down the hall. They'd thought they were home alone. "Salamander coming back at you with another Blind Play Challenge video!"

"Just Natsu. Must be recording again. He sometimes forgets to shut the door. I'll go close it. The room is soundproof so that should take care of it," Levy said getting up and walking down the hallway.

"You guys know how it goes. I get one of my fellow gamers to recommend a game to me and I play it with absolutely no idea what the hell it's about or what I'm doing. Today I'll be playing One Night At Flumpty's. I was challenged to play this by Ice Princess or Ice Mage as the idiot-" The voice was muffled after a gentle click. Lucy assumed that this was Levy closing the door. She returned smiling.

"That should fix the problem. Sorry, I didn't think he'd be home already."

"It's fine but, seriously, is he always that loud?"

"Yeah, even just talking to you normally. I swear, he can't do anything quietly. Gajeel told me Natsu was only living here for a week before Gajeel went out and installed the soundproofing himself because he couldn't take it anymore. It muffles pretty much everything. But if he gets really upset and starts screaming and yelling. Then we're screwed cause nothing can silence him when he gets like that, believe me." Lucy nodded and the two of them got back to work. All was well… for about five minutes.

"MOTHERFUCKER!" Lucy and Levy both jumped again, this time to the loud scream from down the hall.

"What the hell?"

"That happens every now and then," Levy reassured Lucy. "Just ignore it. It'll go away. He gets frustrated easily and yells sometimes but if we're lucky once he calms down and figures it out he'll be fine."

"Okay…"

"AHHHH! FUCK DAMN IT!"

"If you say so Lev," Lucy said apprehensively and tried to get back to work. This was not to be done though. Natsu continued to scream profanities about "THAT BASTARD EGG WITH HIS STUPID FUCKING FACE!" every 2 minutes or so. When he wasn't screaming curses, he was just screaming at an ear-splitting volume. After 15 minutes of this Lucy had had enough.

"That is IT!" Lucy said, slamming her hands down on the table. "I'm going to go give him a piece of my mind!"

"NO! Lu-chan! He's recording!"

"URGH! WHAT THE FUCK MAN! CAN YOU JUST STOP THIS YOU STUPID FUCKING EGG!" Natsu Dragneel was beyond frustrated. This was what he got for trusting that asshole stripper Gray with suggesting a game for him to play for his popular Blind Play Challenges. That Ice Prick knew how much he'd struggled when he'd played Five Nights At Freddy's and Natsu hadn't totally trusted him when he'd suggested the game. Yes, he'd expected a FNAF fan-made game. What he hadn't expected was for it to be so damn well stupid egg just kept killing him. And if it wasn't the egg it was that damn red bitch-ass thing. Of course, this would be the 75th episode he'd promised to live stream.

"Come on you stupid mother-fucking egg! FIGHT ME BITCH!" At that moment the door to his room flew open. Natsu jumped and nearly fell out of his chair, headphones falling down around his neck. He whipped over to see a very pissed off blonde he'd never seen before standing in the doorway. Was it bad his eyes went immediately went to her enormous breasts?

"SHUT THE HELL UP, YOU IDIOT! I CAN'T GET ANYTHING DONE WITH YOU SCREAMING LIKE THAT! IF I HEAR YOU YELLING ONE MORE TIME I'M GOING TO KICK YOU THROUGH THAT WALL!" She threw a book at his head for good measure that he barely managed to duck. With that, she shut the door with a loud bang.

Natsu just sat there for a minute staring at the door, frozen. When he finally snapped back to senses he slipped headphones back on his head and turned back to his screens. During the blonde's tirade, he'd died yet again. But that was the least of his worries. Chat was blowing up with everyone asking who the blonde was and laughing at him for what had just transpired. He decided to just play it cool and figure out what was going on later.

"Hey, guys! Sorry about that, I didn't know anyone else was home and I guess I got a little too loud. I'm gonna end this video here for right now. I promise I'll live stream the second half same time next week. So sorry! I'll see you next week, bye guys!" With that, he cut the live stream. He leaned back in his chair and pulled off his headphones, running his fingers through his hair. The hottest girl he'd ever seen had just screamed at him during his live stream in front of his fans. And all that he could think about was going out and apologizing to her for being too loud. What the hell had just happened?!

Two Weeks Later…

It had been two weeks since Lucy had burst into Natsu's room and yelled at him. Afterwords Natsu had come out to apologize to her and Levy and been very sincere in his guilt. Lucy had been sympathetic, after all he hadn't actually known he was home alone. She'd also apologized for interrupting his recording, which had turned out to be live. Lucy had felt even worse about interrupting him after finding that out, but he'd insisted it hadn't been a big deal.

Since then she hadn't really seen him except for occasionally when she'd visited Levy. But even then it hadn't been for long as they'd both seemed to be heading in different directions whenever they met. Still, he'd been very warm and friendly towards her. Lucy was finding that she was thinking the loud idiot was pretty hot and kind of cute and sweet when he wanted to be. She really wanted to spend more time with him if she could. It just didn't seem to be working out. But, when Levy asked if she wanted to come over and hang out after class at Gajeel and Natsu's apartment, Lucy had happily agreed. And maybe she was hoping to see a loud pink-haired idiot there as well.

"I'm telling you, Lev, it's the weirdest thing," Lucy said as she and Levy entered the apartment. "Lately I've been getting all these dirty looks from random girls on the street."

"That is weird, do you know any of them."

"Nope. And it's not just weird looks either. Random girls are coming up to me and yelling at me about 'not being worthy of him' or being 'some random bimbo with big tits who's stealing him away'. Sometimes I get congratulated or they say that they hope I 'make him happy'. I don't even know who 'him' is!"

"Maybe they think you're someone else or something. What anything?" levy said walking to the kitchen.

"Just a water would be fine," Lucy said as she set down her bag. It was then that she noticed Natsu sitting on the couch. He was staring at her and fidgeting nervously. It was weird but maybe he'd just overheard her conversation with Levy and was nervous for her or something. "Hey, Natsu! Everything okay?"

"Hey Luce, uh… can I talk to you for a second? Alone?" Lucy couldn't help but get excited. Maybe he was going to ask her out!

"Sure," she said happily. Natsu got up and she followed him to his room. He halfway closed the door and turned to face her. "What's up to Natsu?"

"I, uh, kinda overheard what you were saying to Levy."

"Yeah, it's weird, right? I honestly have no idea what's going on?"

"Yeah… uh… I might know what's going on…" Lucy was surprised.

"Wait, really!"

"Uh, you remember how you burst into my live-stream the other day?" Lucy nodded. "Well, I've been getting a lot of comments on that video about you and who you are."

"Okay…"

"My fans kinda think that we're dating. And I'm really popular in this area so I'm pretty sure all those girls coming up to you have been my fangirls. You've been getting a lot of death threats in the comments on my video. They're really upset about the idea of me having a girlfriend. I've been trying to correct them but they're convinced that we're a couple and we're living together. I'm really really sorry." Lucy stared at him in shock for a second… then broke out into laughter. Natsu just watched her laugh dumbfounded. "Uh, Luce? Are you okay?" She was laughing so hard she was almost crying and it took her a few minutes to calm down enough so she could speak.

"I am. Sorry. It's just so funny!" She laughed.

"What?"

"I've been so confused lately and it's just crazy fangirls!" She couldn't stop laughing.

"But they've been sending death threats."

"So what? So does Levy when the movie doesn't follow the book. Generally means nothing."

"Oh, uh… that's cool."

"Honestly, I thought you wanted to talk to ask me out. And instead, you tell me that apparently half the internet thinks we're dating. It's just so crazy and funny!" She threw her head back laughing again. Natsu stood and looked at her for a second, and then the laughter started to bubble up in him as well. Before they knew it they had both collapsed onto his bed, dying of laughter. Eventually, the laughter subsided and they found themselves just sitting together.

"You know," Natsu said, breaking the silence. "We could just make the rumors true." Lucy rolled over on her side and stared at him.

"Really?"

"Yeah, I mean, I actually did want to ask you out before Luce. I just didn't because of how bad my fans reacted when we weren't really dating and didn't want to put you through that if we actually did."

"I could care less what they think. Just cause you make YouTube videos doesn't mean you belong to them. Besides," She said, winking at Natsu. "I can take them."

"Oh really?" Natsu said, smirking.

"Hell yeah! I'm a lot stronger than I look." Lucy sat up and flexed her biceps, making both of them laugh. Natsu sat up.

"That settles it then. Dinner Friday Night at 6?" Lucy nodded enthusiastically.

"You bet." With that, they leaned in and sealed the deal with a kiss.

"You do realize we're probably gonna have to do the relationship tag video now, right?"

"Oh, I'm looking forward to that one. I don't think I finished my 15 minutes of internet fame last time. And I can't wait to drive the fangirls crazy with this one!"
