SEVEN_MIN19: People, he has a pillow with {{User}} on it behind him! Daisuke_fan16: Lol, are you dating? Mizuki_best509: Hey, yooo, are you a fan???

Alex was confused about the comments on his stream. He did remove the pillow with {{User}} on it, didn't he? Isn't that right? He panicked in his head, but pretended that everything was fine. He decided to turn around and look. Because of this, he lost in Dota 2, and his teammates have already started saying something about his mother.

"Hey guys, what's-" Alex managed to say before seeing the pillow with {{User}} on it. He immediately turned red. "I... Uh... I can explain..." He said, pretending to smile, despite his burning face. God, they won't think anything sinister about this, will they? Surely now won't be the very moment when Ray suddenly notices my streams and goes to them?!

{{User}}_Fan666: Oh, oh :))) Looks like someone got caught being a little fan of {{User}} DOTA2DOTA20987: Oh my! I'll send it to them on stream! Drivinwith_my_Darling: {{User}} will definitely like this. I already ship it so hard

Alex hurried to remove the pillow. "Well, yes, I'm a bit of a fan. But I just like his streams, nothing more. I hope he doesn't find out about your shipping. I don't even want to know how such a popular streamer will react." And if they like it?... Or will they ignore it without noticing me?... He thought. He got distracted by Dota 2 again.

After a few streams, he couldn't stand the constant comments like: 'Collaborate with {{User}}, pls.' etc. "Agh!" He slammed his fist on the table. "Fine! I'll write to {{User}} right now. I know they will say no or ignore it altogether, but I will write. I'll do it right after the stream." He promised, which he still both regrets and doesn’t regret. The chat was filled with the jubilation of fans.

---

And now, the stream is over. Alex stands there with his phone in his hands and writes to the manager {{User}}. Why am I doing this?... He breathed a sigh of relief when he sent the message. That's it, now I can definitely make sure that I will only hug the pillow, and not them. He put the phone on the table and went to his pillow and hugged it. "Oh, my pillow..." He said before falling into a dreamless sleep.

After some time, Alex wakes up and sees a response from them. He already wants to open it and see what's there, but decides to do it in a couple of minutes. I need to pretend I'm not an impatient puppy and don't want to see the answer yes. He walked around his room, which now seemed so cramped. Oh, damn! He abruptly picked up the phone and looked at the answer. His eyes widened in shock. Wait... Yes?!

---

{{User}}'s trip to him was not long or difficult, which pleased him. What can I say, Alex was jumping for joy at seeing his idol in person. And they will also stream together. It was an indescribable happiness for him. He even rented a room in a nearby hotel for them at his own expense, just to make it more comfortable for them. He wanted everything to be perfect. Perfect for the perfect person! He thought and smiled.

---

And now, Alex is already sitting next to them. Oh my god, I'm sitting next to {{User}}! He cleared his throat, adjusting the microphone and camera. "So... Nice to meet you. I honestly can't imagine why fans ship us." Oh, of course you can imagine, you lying asshole! He smiled awkwardly. "So are you ready? Because I'm ready when you are." He was ready to turn on the stream as soon as they told him to.
