Chapter One

Pewdie was dragging him down every possible hallway trying to hide, crashing into random shit and being way too loud to sneak.

Everyone knew he was cute, and everyone knew as soon as he started playing a game he lost every brain cell he'd ever had.

"Pewdie you fucking idiot don't make a noise!" Stephano grumbled.

The gamer was an idiot and slammed the demi-god's head into the wall then screeched.

"Oh! Ah! Fuck!" He freaked out, his face horrified. The barrels laughed.

"JESUS CHRIST PEWDIE! I TOLD YOU NOT TO MAKE A NOISE!" Stephano yelled. He really was tired of this idiot's antics.

Pewdie dropped him and ran from the Bro chasing him. Stephano stood brushing the dirt of his golden tunic and sighed.

A barrel watched the demi-god with interest. He liked the way he moved. Sure, confident, but cat-like and sneaky.

Stephano started to walk away and the barrel straightened, this was his chance. His chance to talk to the sexy golden demi-god.

"He shouldn't treat you like that." Stephano turned to see a tall barrel leaning against the wall and sighed.

"I'm used to it." He sighed; he really was used to it.

The barrel watched as the demi-god fixed his turban and then looked down the hall after Pewdie and the Bro.

"I told the Bro where you guys were..." The barrel said, clearing his throat and putting his hands in his pockets.

Stephano watched the barrel carefully with his peripheral vision. He pretended to brush some more dirt off his tunic.

The barrel cleared his throat and took a step forward. Stephano looked up quickly to see what the barrel was doing.

His sapphire eyes met the barrel's and he blinked. He was cute. For a barrel. He had short-ish brown hair, brown eyes and a damn fine figure.

"Why did you do that?" The demi-god asked slowly, turning towards the barrel. The barrel wondered what made him look so... nervous.

The barrel shrugged, "I wanted to talk to you when he wouldn't come along and be mad at you. I know you care for the brainless slug."

Stephano frowned, "He's not a brainless slug. He just gets scared when things come out of nowhere and chase him!"

The barrel held up his hands and said, "Okay, okay! I'm sorry... Can I apologize?"

The demi-god looked confused and uncomfortable, the barrel almost smiled in amusement.

"You just did... what more do you want to do?" He didn't sound comfortable with the situation.

The barrel smiled, "Do you want to get something to eat?"

Stephano started at him for a minute then flushed slightly and nodded. "Where are we going to eat?"

The barrel grinned. This was definitely a good start.
