Four days before their trip to Hargeon to visit their always-drunk friend for her birthday, the Fairy Tail house was in chaos as everyone struggled to record many more videos than usual in the span of several days. They wanted to have videos to post to the channel while they spent a week in Hargeon, where they'd likely only be recording videos more on the vlog side than their usual content.

Natsu and Gray were intensely focused on editing all their videos at the dining table, Erza and Wendy decided to do a series of collaborations where they reviewed several different romance anime in the living room, and all the while an occasional "FUCK!" echoed throughout the entire house as Gajeel recorded his gameplay videos, most of which resulted in him rage-quitting after five minutes.

It was at this time that the front door could be heard swinging open, followed by light footsteps. Lisanna walked in the direction of the kitchen with a bright grin as she greeted the two who looked up from their laptops curiously before instantly relaxing and grinning at the new presence.

She stood at the door frame with her arms crossed. "You guys are famous YouTubers, you really shouldn't leave your front door unlocked like that!"

"Hey Lisanna!" Natsu beamed, happy to see her for the first time in two weeks. Though she lived a mere five minute walk away, she was often busy with her modeling job to come over as often as she would like to.

"I'm bored," she said simply, pulling out the chair next to Natsu and plopping down dramatically, earning a chuckle from Natsu as she haphazardly dropped her head on his shoulder and looked at his screen. She pouted when she saw the editing software opened on his laptop. "You guys are working? No fun," she sighed.

"We have to get all these videos done before we leave for Hargeon in a couple days," Gray informed her. Lisanna lifted a brow at the new information.

"You're going to Hargeon?"

"Yeah, for Cana's birthday," Natsu clarified.

"I'm going!" She declared excitedly, though it only lasted for a moment before her grin dropped and the pout returned. "Wait, I can't. I have work," she whined.

The glimmer in Natsu's eyes when she had said she'd be going with them diminished in a second. "Aw. I got excited for a sec there," he sighed.

She looked up at him and gave a small smile before moving closer to his side and absentmindedly looking at the laptop screen, narrowly missing the way his cheeks visibly heated at the proximity. Gray glanced up from his laptop with a smirk, and Natsu silently flipped him off with his eyes before returning his attention to the video he was editing. Though giving his full attention to the video was an action that proved difficult when his childhood crush was cuddling up to him like this.

"I'm definitely going to AniCon, though," she indicated.

"Good," Natsu grinned.

Erza and Wendy popped into the kitchen after a moment, pleasantly surprised to see the visitor who smiled back at them in greeting.

"Hey Lisanna! Good to see you," Wendy chimed, placing the tripod in her hands against the counter before walking to the table to take a seat.

"I see you're all busy with videos today," Lisanna giggled, noticing the camera in Erza's hands before she placed it on the table and sat as well.

"Yes. We're going to Hargeon for Cana's birthday in a few days so we won't be able to record," Erza clarified.

"I heard. Tell Cana I said Happy Birthday!"

"I will," Erza smiled. "Speaking of recording…" Her gaze shifted to the pink-haired male Lisanna was leaning on. "I heard you were mentioned in Celestial's video," she smirked knowingly at him.

"Oh yeah! It was all over Twitter last week," Wendy piped up from her seat.

Natsu resisted the urge to smile at the memory of the video, and found it even harder when he recalled how flooded his mentions were when it first dropped. "NaLu" was quickly becoming a widely known ship in the anime YouTuber community, and Natsu couldn't say he was complaining. Recently he found himself watching every video she'd put out since he discovered her. He just couldn't help himself when she was equal parts entertaining and beautiful.

He had become a fast fan.

"It was pretty cool of her to shout me out on her channel," Natsu grinned.

"She seems quite fond of you," Erza smiled back.

Something flashed in Lisanna's eyes at this, though it went largely unnoticed with how quickly it disappeared from her features. She lifted her head from Natsu's shoulder, placed both elbows on the table and leaned forward, suddenly very interested in the current topic of conversation. "Celestial?" She inquired casually. "Who's that?"

"She's a YouTuber Natsu's been obsessed with lately," Gray smirked, earning a glare from Natsu. Before he could make a snide remark though, Lisanna spoke up.

"Can I see?"

"Hold on, I'll pull up her Twitter." Wendy moved her fingers across her phone's screen for a few brief moments before flipping it around and extending her arm across the table to show Lisanna.

Natsu instinctually caught a glimpse of the photo Wendy was showing her from his spot right beside Lisanna.

His throat went dry.

She was in Fairy Tale cosplay dressed as Lucinda, the main character in the show. Laying on a bed of yellow flowers that reminded him of a certain episode, Lucy stared straight towards the sky, the picture seeming candid as she stared up with a pensive expression. Lucinda tended to often dress in a way that left very little to the imagination, and Lucy seemed to stay true to the character's style, a small blue and white tube top and equally tiny blue vest covering her voluptuous chest and exposing her slim waist. She wore a short skirt that exposed her flawless thighs a little before the photo was cut off. The sight of Lucy in cosplay of the show he loved so much combined with the fact that she was absolutely breathtaking made Natsu's stomach flip in all the right ways, and he couldn't bring himself to look away.

"Wow, she's really pretty," Lisanna voiced from beside him.

"Yeah!" Wendy agreed, bringing the phone back to her side while Natsu's eyes followed the rectangle the entire way to the other side of the table. "She has a great channel too," she added.

"I see," Lisanna hummed. She suddenly turned to smirk at Natsu. "You like her eh?"

"I-I like her channel," Natsu stammered, avoiding any and all eye contact.

Lisanna chuckled before getting up from her seat. "Right. I'm glad I got to see you all before you left! I should probably get ready to head to work."

"It was good to see you," Erza stated with a smile.

Lisanna exchanged hugs with everyone in the room, giving a slightly longer one to Natsu before heading out of the Fairy Tail house. The act did not go unnoticed by him, who then stared thoughtfully at her as she disappeared through the door down the hall.

"You okay Natsu?" Wendy questioned, noticing his rare concentrated expression.

"He's just thinking about the threesome he's having with Lisanna and Celestial in his dreams," Gray snickered.

Natsu swiveled around instantly to lunge at him, but was pleasantly surprised to see Erza was already glowering at him, standing behind his seat with a vicious glint in her eyes.

"That was inappropriate and uncalled for, Gray," Erza scolded with mock patience. He shot up to run but was stopped short by a manicured hand firmly grabbing him by the back of his shirt.

"P-please don't kill me!" He cried amidst Natsu's roaring laughter.

"I offer no promises."

"Don't kill him!" Wendy exclaimed. Gray grinned appreciatively at the younger teen.

"—At least not here. I don't wanna be a witness!"

"What?!" Gajeel's loud voice rang from upstairs in a tone of disbelief. Gray found that it matched exactly the way he felt at that moment as his jaw dropped at Wendy's betrayal and Erza dragged him out of the kitchen by the collar of his shirt.

"You're going."

"What, so you don't have to go but I do?" Lucy huffed, crossing her arms across her chest as she stood on the other side of the counter island, glaring at Levy's back as she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge. She turned back around to return eye contact with Lucy.

"You know I'm not good with people," Levy replied simply.

"And I am?"

"Well you're always talking about how you want a more eventful college life, and you got invited to a party," Levy stated nonchalantly.

"We got invited to a party," Lucy corrected. "You're coming with me."

"But—"

"Nope. You're going. I'm not going into the lion's den known as a college party without you," Lucy informed firmly.

Levy opened her mouth to retort, but stayed silent when she found that Lucy had a good point. She'd want Lucy with her if she were ever in a situation such as a party where there'd likely be many people they did not know in an enclosed space. "Or we could just not go and make an excuse."

"I agree wholeheartedly."

After guiding Cana back to her on-campus apartment (where they found out that Cana lived in the same building as them, go figure) the other week, they'd been noticing her around campus, and the tipsy brunette always waved at them cheerfully whenever she saw them, occasionally walking over to make short conversation before they went their separate ways.

The other day however, when they were returning to their building they ran into Cana, who had been leaving for class. They had exchanged greetings, but before Cana continued on her way she had mentioned her birthday was this week, and she'd be having a party at the bar down the street. She then proceeded to invite the two unsuspecting friends to said party, who had reluctantly accepted the invitation after exchanging barely concealed apprehensive glances. Cana hadn't seemed to notice their hesitance as she had just beamed at them while waiting for their response. In the end they simply couldn't say no to such a huge grin.

It was now Friday, the day before said party and Lucy and Levy were finally discussing it after shoving it to the back of their minds for the past week. They were just about to come to a consensus when they both perked up at the sound of two raps coming from the living room, signifying that someone was knocking on their front door. Both their eyes lit up and they practically ran to the door, Lucy getting there first and swinging the door open to reveal their blue-haired internet friend standing there, in the flesh, with a large smile on her face.

The three squealed excitedly as Lucy and Levy practically attacked their guest with a hug that had them all almost stumbling over.

"You're here!" Levy chimed.

"I'm here!" Juvia echoed excitedly.

They let go of their friend to allow her to walk into the apartment with her blue suitcase in tow, rolling it in while the two flooded her with questions including (but not limited to) how her flight was and if she's enjoying Hargeon despite only being here for a couple hours.

"I can't believe you actually came!" Lucy stated excitedly when they had finally gotten Juvia settled in and they now sat on the living room couch.

"I really wanted 8 Island that day so I bought my ticket right after our call ended," Juvia admitted with a sheepish smile. "And I also wanted to see you guys! I haven't seen you in person since last year's AniCon."

"Yeah," Lucy sighed. "You're going again this year, right?"

"Of course," Juvia replied instantly. "Gray goes every year, so I must," she gushed.

"Right," Lucy gave her an amused look with a knowing smile.

"So what are we doing this weekend?"

Lucy and Levy blanked at the question. They had been excited for their YouTuber friend's visit but hadn't really planned anything other than collaboration videos.

"Well…" Levy started hesitantly. "We have a friend that's throwing a party tomorrow but we weren't planning on going 'cause... people."

Juvia instantly sat up at the mention of a party. "We're going!" she stated excitedly, causing the two others to exchange looks. Juvia looked at them with a bored expression. "We're going," she repeated firmly. "I want to go to a college party!"

Levy and Lucy sighed, not wanting to disappoint their guest. "Okay, I guess we're going," Levy said, defeated.

"Awesome," Juvia's grin returned. She got up and walked over to her giant suitcase, where she fumbled with it a bit before taking out a bag. She unzipped it and revealed a camera inside, which she took out and turned back to the two girls on the couch with a large grin. "Now," she beamed. "Collabs?"

Lucy squealed and jumped off the couch to get her own camera. "Yes! I have so many ideas."

"Speaking of videos," Juvia looked at Lucy with a suggestive grin. "I keep seeing 'NaLu' hashtags on Twitter. You and Natsu are a crazy viral ship in the community right now," she chuckled at the blonde who turned crimson at being reminded of that information.

She swung her hands over her face in embarrassment. "He probably definitely saw it! Oh god that was a mistake," Lucy sighed dejectedly.

"I don't think he'd react negatively to that video," Levy argued and crossed her arms. "If anything I think he should be grateful you shouted him out on your channel."

"Agreed," Juvia added. "When Gray… shouted me out," she said with barely concealed excitement. "I gained a ton of subs. He's probably experiencing the same thing."

"Who knows, maybe he checked out your channel and he's a fan now," Levy giggled and Juvia nodded enthusiastically in agreement.

Lucy's fangirl brain nearly shut down at the thought of Natsu actually being a fan of her. Being aware of her existence. Watching her content. Liking her channel as much as she enjoyed his.

Nah, that only happened in fanfiction.

"Ughh I don't wanna think about it anymore," Lucy muttered, trying to forget about that embarrassing video once more.

"Don't worry about it too much," Juvia walked over and supportively patted the blonde on the back. "Either way everyone's going to forget about it in a week or two anyway. That's usually how it works."

"It's still on the internet forever though!"

Levy sighed but took her best friend in for a reassuring embrace. "It's fine. Stop worrying."

"You're right. You're right," Lucy declared with questionable confidence.

"Levy is right," Juvia agreed. "Now let's do a video after I unpack some stuff, yeah?"

Lucy let out a deep breath, finally shoving the doubtful thoughts to the back of her mind before smiling brightly at the thought of finally recording with Juvia. "Yeah. What should we do first?"

Before Juvia could answer, Lucy's phone vibrated from the back pocket of her black jeans. She placed her camera on the coffee table to take it out and check her notifications.

Her eyes nearly bugged out of her skull as she read the notification on the lock screen.

Her legs turned to jelly and she collapsed into a heap on the ground, Juvia's and Levy's eyes instantly darting to the blonde on the floor.

"Lucy?!"

"What happened?!" They rushed to her side, and she simply pointed lifelessly at the spot on the floor where her phone landed, shocked eyes fixed to the ceiling.

They both looked over to the phone. Levy reached over and picked it up, pressing the home button to see the lock screen. Both their jaws dropped slightly before they exchanged knowing smirks.

Natsu has followed you on Twitter.

"Lucy! This is amazing!" Juvia exclaimed. She knew Lucy only got follower notifications when the follower was verified, so there was no doubt in her mind this was Natsu from Fairy Tail.

"She can't hear you, I think her soul just left her body," Levy chuckled, sporting a large grin.

She was so glad Lucy accidentally posted that video.
