A/N: someone on AO3 that I can't remember the username of(if you find it, please tell me) who wrote a fan fic about Connor being internet famous and I.... decided to expand on the idea that never finished.

Also this is a long one. Over 6000 words.

.............

Connor knew his dad was pretty famous on YouTube. Eight million followers was a lot. He was proud of his dad, and loved watching his dad make conspiracy theories and team up with minds like those at buzzfeed unsolved to talk about some of the best and worst unsolved cases.

It was a great stress reliever from his work life. Connor could be happy that it stopped his dad from drinking himself to sleep.

One day, Connor happened to walk in while Hank was filming, trying to stop Sumo.

"Sorry dad, Sumo really wanted to see you," Connor apologized.

Hank shrugged, "it's nothing. I was just talking about a recent murder case over in LA."

Connor's face scrunched up, "Ugh. I hear enough about it from uncle Fowler, I'm leaving before I hear about it from you."

"You spend to much time hanging around my boss."

"It's not my fault he's trying to recruit me as a detective. Guess he sees potential you never had." Connor stuck out his tongue.

Hank chuckled, "maybe. Don't you have a friend to meet?"

"Shit!" Connor booked it and Hank went back to his video, deciding he'd keep that exchange in since his fans were all curious about his son.

"I'm pretty sure if my son ever decided to make a channel, he'd be a lot more popular than me," Hank said warmly, returning to his theory.

The next day, Connor came to breakfast to find a few camera's and a bunch of equipment laying on or against his seat.

"Is this your way of telling me your YouTube career is more important than me?" Connor joked, picking up the camera sitting on his chair.

Hank simply snorted, "no one could ever replace you."

"Thanks. Seriously though, what's with all this?"

"Well, my fans really want you to have a channel since they liked your cameo in my video."

"You kept it in? Huh."

He smiled at his son, "Why don't you give it a try?"

"Dad," Connor said warmly, "Thanks."

"It's nothing."

Connor's first video was him prancing Hank, since they normally did that with each other. It was simple pranks, glueing the toilet seat shut, scaring him, and just silly pranks that Hank simply laughed at.

When Hank's next video was posted, he mentioned briefly his son's YouTube, and people flossed it.

Connor was a pretty hilarious guy. He blogged a lot and had his friend Kara film him being an idiot.

"Okay, why am I filming this?"

Connor shrugged as he climbed up the tree, "to film me scaring Luther."

"Leave my boyfriend alone!"

"You know you find it hilarious."

"I do," Kara laughed.

Connor also played video games from time to time, on a separate channel called: PoliceAndroid.

It was an inside joke between Connor and the DPD that he was a very robotic person when it came to cases. He may not have been working for them, but provided insight whenever he visited Hank.

His main channel, with Pranks and vlogs, all that was simply: ConnerTheDerp.

People surprisingly loved the name.

Hank found it hilarious.

In a short time, Connor garnered roughly- 500k subscribers. A feat to be celebrated .

Connor didn't realize one of his blogs would be the key to romance until later.

"Dad, look! A dog! Here." The camera shuddered as Connor gave Hank his camera. Then, Connor bolting over to someone, asking if they could pet their dog, a huge German Sheppard. When they said yes, Connor visibly became the best sunshine the world could offer, petting the dog gently and kindly. The dog loved it.

When Connor left, he was bouncing happily back.

"Dad, the dog's name is bubbles and he is the sweetest thing! I love him."

"Sumo is going to get jealous."

Connor pouted, "sumo will always be the best doggo, doesn't mean I can't love other dogs."

"Yeah, Yeah, Yeah." Hank handed Connor his camera back, and Connor hummed happily, turning the camera to himself.

"We're about to grab dinner, so I'll be right back!"

When the camera turned on again, Connor was trying on outfits.

"Dad, this looks hideous," Connor joked, smiling at the very mismatched outfit he was wearing.

"Agreed."

Connor tried on a total of six outfits, and the clear favorite was the blue sweater with the black scarf and black skinny jeans. Connor smiled warmly, "how about this?"

"Casual, But not lazy. It's perfect."

"Well, I'm letting my best friends boyfriend and daughter, I have to leave a good impression."

"Haven't you met her boyfriend?"

"Of course. He looks scary, but he's a sweetheart. I'm worried that Alice won't like me."

Hank snorted, "like that's actually going to happen."

"You never know. We should get ice cream and pick up Sumo."

"Yup."

Connor woke up to a text from his best friend. He groaned, seeing very large, capital letters.

From Momma Bot:

CONNOR! YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS OUT!

He could feel her excitement.

To Momma Bot:

What?

From Momma Bot:

Here! (YouTube.com/-)

Connor sighed and clicked on the link she sent, seeing himself taken to the most popular Youtuber's page.

MarkusManfred

Or

Androids

A weird name, but cute.

He'd been around since the beginning of YouTube and gained a massive following of 58 million subscribers.

He was a very vocal person, and used his platform to help charities and fundraisers alike. It was pretty inspiring.

He never got around to watching his videos, but he might have to check him out. The video in question had in the thumbnail Markus smiling as sun emoji's surrounded him.

The video was titled-

The BEST Sunshine| Viewers Send Me Cute Video's (Ft. Jericho) #5

The time stamp showed that the video was roughly 30 minutes long, and Connor sighed and pressed play.

The minute he heard Markus' voice, his heart melted. It was so... warm, and soft, and calm.

"Hello my fellow androids, today we have another viewers send me cute videos!"

He smiled brightly and Connor smiled in response.

"I also have my best friend here to assist me!" Three faces popped into view.

"I'm North!" Connor nearly had a heart attack realizing he ran into her and her dog earlier. This YouTuber must've lived close by. North had her hair dyed red, but it was fading and it was in a braid, the rest of her hair covered by a black beanie.

"I'm josh!" The next introduced and had the kindest eyes, nothing like Markus' heterochromatic eyes, which were such a beautiful shade of forrest green, and beautiful ocean blue. So gorgeous. So... so beautiful."

Connor snapped out of it as a blonde hired, blue eyed guy popped out, "I'm Simon! And we're team Jericho!"

"You guys seem to love my friends, so I thought I'd invite them to join."

"We're excited to be here!" Simon said excitedly.

North snickered, "you just like an excuse to watch cute videos."

"True..."

The group started watching videos through links fans sent, and mostly, it was animal videos.

"Alright, last video-"

Connor looked a bit surprised. The last video must've been long if there was still ten whole minutes left.

@Thelovelymommabot: #cutethingsformarkus  this guy is cuter than any animal. Check him out! (YouTube.come/-)

Connor recognized Kara's Twitter handle, and raised a brow as they clicked the link.

"A guy cuter than animals? I think only one guy I've met could have that title-" North snorts.

"Maybe this is his video," Josh joked.

Markus smiled fondly at his friend's antics as Connor's video

Quality Time With Dad| Vlog (Ft. Hank Anderson)

Loaded.

The video started with Hank opening the front door.

"Connor, you are trigger happy with that camera!" Hank scolded.

"Isn't that the conspiracy guy, Hank Anderson?" Simon questioned.

"Seems so. Guess he must be the dudes dad." North hummed.

Video Connor huffed, "I just want the world to know how amazing of a dad you are."

"You're such a sap Connor."

"I know."

The video then followed the dog park adventure and finally showed Connor, bolting over to the dog.

"Oh my god, this is the guys video!" North exclaimed.

"The guy who's better than any pet?"

North nodded, "he was such a sweetheart. He kept asking about bubbles and then talked about his own dog, and he didn't seem to know who I was, which was nice."

"So he lives nearby?"

"I'd assume so."

The video kept going and even showed Connor trying on outfits.

"Markus, you haven't said anything," Simon pointed out.

"He's just," Markus muttered, "extremely cute."

"This just in, Markus has a crush!" North teased.

Connor's heart stopped as he sat up in his bed, his cheeks incredibly red."

"Let's just check out his channel..." Markus said, clicking the subscribe button and the link the Connor's channel.

The three friends laughed at Markus' lovestruck behavior. They browsed Connor's page and found Connor's  most recent video. They clicked it, seeing Connor sitting on his windowsill, wearing a very, very colorful shirt.

"Hey everyone! It's the derp here being his derp self. I'm sorry, I'll stop," Connor laughed and all four of them, Markus and Jericho, seemed to melt at Connor's laugh.

Connor himself, he was dying internally.

"Anyways, this will be a short video I suppose. This month is pride month. June has been, quite important to me because of such. I'm gay. Though, let's be honest, no one's shocked. My own dad said he wasn't surprised when I came out. He took me out for pizza afterwards though."

Markus' ears seemed to redden watching the man.

"I've known since I was ten that I didn't like girls. My dad said he knew I was gay the moment I was born. I didn't ask how he knew,  but I believe him. I haven't really found anyone for me yet, but hey, fingers crossed."

"You should sooo, try to get his number," North giggled.

"If anyone has an idea where we can find this wonderful man, send help. Markus is definitely smitten!"

"I've been very fortunate to have supportive people in my life. My best friend, Kara, she has been the best support. If you ever want to talk to her, she's a meme in the making, and often goes by Momma Bot. She adopted her daughter, hence, Momma. The bot is an inside joke I shall never share."

"Wait, didn't... Didn't a Momma Bot sen: is the link?" Josh muttered, realizing what Kara did.

North smirked, "looks like his best friend thinks you two would be good together."

Markus was a deep scarlet now, hiding his face, "you guys are embarrassing."

"I've only met a few people who didn't like me because of my sexuality. I will not say who, but I will say my dad almost punched them in the face... that just brings me to this point. When gay marriage was legalized, I remember the entire Detroit police department telling me how happy they were for me. My dad and Kara took me out for ice cream and it was... it meant a lot. So, to anyone out there who may still be in the closest, know I love you, and whatever you're going through, you'll escape. I can't say I've had horrible experiences, but through the pride parades I've been too, a lot of stories weren't happy."

The video Connor picked at his sweater sleeves, , unsure what to say next.

"I'm glad to have so many people supporting me, and I'll do my best to support you guys too. Let's work together to make this world a better place, as cheesy as it sounds. I love you all my wonderful and fellow derps, I'm signing off. I got to go pick up my dad from work. He overworks himself a lot. Love you!"

"Yup, perfect for you Markus. We need to find this boy."

Connor was screaming internally and the video soon ended.

To Momma Bot:

WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME?! MY GAY HEART CAN'T HANDLE IT!

From Momma Bot:

You're welcome.

Connor groaned and went back to sleep, he'd need it.

When morning game around, Hank noticed Connor's sorry state.

"What happened to you?"

Connor sat down at his seat, shoveling a bite full of eggs into his mouth, "Well, Markus Manfred, the most popular guy on YouTube, thinks I'm cute."

Hank snorted, trying to hold back the oncoming laughter, "Kara?"

"Kara."

Connor's Twitter and instagram and YouTube absolutely flooded with people. Connor went from 500k to 5 million overnight.

While a lot of people were being kind to him, there were quite a bit of people who were jealous that Connor had captured Markus' eye.

Connor just ignored the hate, and tried to act happy. He was able to pull off happy really well.

Connor was by himself when he went to Starbucks. He really liked their tea, even if to him, their coffee tasted like ass.

He had gottten his tea when he happened to run into the one and only Markus himself.

The two were stopped dead in their tracks, and both of them flushed heavily, "s-Sorry."

"No problem." Connor went around him, to go outside.

"Uh..." Markus seems to struggle finding words.

"I'm going to sitting on the bench right there if you wanted to talk," Connor offered.

Markus nodded, blushing heavily. Connor quietly went to the nearby bench, and was busy trying to not have a heart attack because Markus was much more attractive and beautiful and amazing in person.

After a few minutes, Markus joined Connor on the bench, and they both struggled to find a conversation topic. Connor, for whatever reason, decided to be teasing.

"So I'm adorable?" He said with a soft smile.

Markus seemed surprised, "you watched that video?"

"My friend, who sent you the link, sent me a link to your video. Thanks for the complement. You're really beautiful- I mean handsome- I mean-" Connor was now as equally red as Markus.

"I'm sorry about my fans spamming the crap out of you."

Connor laughed, a sound Markus wanted to hear forever, "it's fine. I already gotten a decent sum of spam comments because my dad is pretty popular. Sure, your fans are a bit more intense, but it's fine."

"But," Markus shook his head, "they're not all nice."

"Yeah, that's true," Connor agreed with a soft sigh, "but people are jerks sometime. Besides, the only opinions I should focus on are the positive ones!"

"You are a literal ray of sunshine, I hope you realize that."

Connor smiled awkwardly, "Thanks."

The two took sips of their drinks. Connor noticed the camera around Markus' neck.

"Were you filming a vlog?"

He shook his head, "nah, got my camera fixed since I dropped it and cracked the lens. I was about to head home and maybe film a challenge video."

"Sounds like fun. My dad's working and Kara borrowed my dog, so I decided to get some tea."

"Yeah, their coffee is pretty crap."

"Right?" The pair laughed.

Markus decided he should seize the opportunity given to him, "would you like to come over? We could film a few videos together."

"I- uh..." Connor flushed, "that would be great."

"Cool, shall we... head over?"

"Yeah!"

The two were still awkward messes as they walked, Connor texting Kara what was going on and for her to message his dad.

She only responded with memes.

Gotta love best friends.

Connor should've known Markus was living in a very nice apartment, decorated with art. He knew full well that Markus was the son of Carl Manfred, a famous artist. Didn't take a genius to figure out Markus also had a talent for art.

He found himself drawn to a particular one, he wasn't even sure why. It was a painting of hand covered in red, reaching for a hand, stained black, blue, pink and purple, bruised. The Black wasn't part of the bisexual flag, but he recognized the others. The hand covered in red must symbolize either his friends, or his own father.

"You like this painting?" Markus questioned.

"It's very beautiful."

Markus smiled, nodding, "it's supposed to represent my father and I, but somehow, I bet you've already guessed that."

"Yes," Connor nodded, "I'm also assuming this painting is your way of saying your bisexual."

"Guilty as charged."

Connor smiled, "you're a pretty amazing painter. I bet you make your dad proud."

"I would say you're a great detective in training. I bet you make your dad proud."

"We should make the proud fathers club and put them as the founders."

"That would be great," Markus happily laughed out.

Connor was glad the awkward tension they had seemed to melt away. Markus seemed like a pretty nice dude, and he wanted to get to know him better.

"I finished setting up as well, so I'm going to send a tweet to my followers to ask for some truths and some dares."

Connor smiled, "that's cool. I'll do the same for my followers! Except... some challenges and questions!"

"So truth or dare?"

"But mine would apply to the both of us."

Markus chuckled, "true."

"Hello my fellow androids, as you can see, I have a very adorable guest."

"Why does everyone call me adorable?" Connor pouted. Markus' ears reddened.

"It's because you are," Markus said with a smile. "We ran into each other and well, here we are."

Connor nodded, "an unexpected turn of fate. Considering you posted a video not to long ago calling me adorable and your friends saying you were crushing."

"I mean..."

Markus saw that Connor was smiling to himself, happy at the attention. Maybe he had a chance.

"So I asked everyone over on Twitter to send me some truths and some dares using the hashtags, hashtag Dares for Markus and hashtag truths for Markus."

Connor hummed, "So who's going first?"

"You can have the honors," Markus said playfully.

"Okay, then give me a truth."

"Alright, this one comes from Space Rocket five thousand who wants to know if you have a type."

"A type?" Connor muttered, "as in what I'm physically attracted too or just attracted to I general?"

"Yup."

Connor shrugged, "I don't really have a type. Though I do seem to love heterochromatic eyes," Connor teased, biting his tongue, grinning.

"This can't be good for my heart."

"Well, I think if I had to pick a type, it would just be someone who's kind and loyal. I'm not really one to fall for physical appearances."

"So what's so great about me?"

"It doesn't take a genius to realize you're a kind guy. I've known you for a little bit and I know that."

"Seriously, this can't be good for my heart."

Connor smiled cheekily, checking the tag in his phone, "I'm going to the dares tag on my phone so we don't have to switch between them."

"Well, then I choose dare."

He smiled at Markus, "PenguinMaster dares you to scream the first thing that comes to your head."

"Connor!" Markus then laughed.

"I am right next to you, to be expected."

"Can you give me another one? I feel like that wasn't a good one."

"Sure, "My Fellow Androids dares you to unwrap a piece of candy in your mouth."

"Alright?" Markus got up and fetched a jolly rancher since it was the only candy he had on hand. He popped it in his mouth and unwrapped it, thanking the wrapper out his mouth and chucking it in the trash.

"Impressive." Connor laughed.

"Yeah, yeah. You're turn."

"I'll take a dare," he hummed, and Markus snatched his phone.

"Well, With Connor I stan dares you to-" Markus stopped, laughing at the dare. "You can decide if you even want to do that-" Markus handed him the phone and Connor's face flushed red.

"I'm not slapping your butt. What the heck?" Connor flushed heavily.

"Just scroll to the next one."

"Oh, this one is from What's the ship name. They dare me to ask for my crush's phone number."

"Do you even have a crush?" Markus asked.

Connor smiled, "Hey Markus, can I have your phone number?"

"I-uh... Yeah!"

Markus could help but love the smile that blessed Connor's face, the slight pink that stained his cheeks.

It was beautiful. They quickly exchanged contact info that Markus would have to cut out later.

"Well, truth or dare?" Connor asked.

"Truth."

"Actual trash asked how long have you gone without sex? Jeez Markus, your fans are pervs."

Markus sighed, "some of them. And the answer is, my entire life. Never found someone to go that far with."

"Same here. Besides, who need sex when you have warm blankets, ice cream and movies?"

"You pure soul."

"Thanks??"

"Well," Markus hummed, "Truth or dare?"

"I'll do another dare."

"Alright. Well Markus Fan one thousand dares you to make a poem using the words orange and moose."

"Alright?"

"Good luck."

Connor simply shrugs, "the orange sky casted light on a beautiful night. heterochromatic eyes meeting my moose fur ones making my heart take flight. I'm not good at poems but I know, you never use orange or moose at the end of your flow."

"I loved that."

"Thank you. I hated that."

The two went on and they had fun, continuing on Connnor's channel.

Markus and Connor decided they'd edit later and decided to make some food.

"So, was that for the video or do you actually have a crush on me?" Markus hummed.

Connor flushed, "well, at first I was sure it was just admiration, and I felt happy that you called me cute, but I guess I realized a quickly fell into crush status and I was crushing hard."

"Well, i could say the same."

"So, should we go on a date."

"Yeah," Markus smiled, "a date sounds nice."

After they both ate dinner, they said goodbye to each other, not sure if they should hug, or what.

In the end, Connor hugged him before awkwardly bolting.

Markus thought it was a pretty cute reaction.

Connor felt such elation in his heart as he closed the door, smiling to himself.

He didn't expect his dad and Kara with company to be waiting for him.

"So, how'd it go?" Kara asked, making Connor jolt.

Connor smiled happily, "we're going on a date soon."

"If he hurts you, I will hurt him. Tell him that."

Kara laughed, "well, he uploaded his video and it seems people are telling Markus that." She held up her phone, showing Markus' Twitter getting spammed with comments.

"That reminds me, I need to edit and post my own video."

"You eat dinner?"

"Yeah, I ate at his place."

Hank grumbled, "this is how I lose my son."

Connor went upstairs after saying goodnight to everyone, and edited his video before posting it.

"I'm surprised with how much my fans like you," Markus hummed as they walked, eating some ice cream. Connor had Superman and Markus had rocky road.

Connor shrugged, "I've been told I'm a ray of sunshine."

"You are pretty much exactly that."

"To be honest," he said, "I'm just as surprised as you. Never expected your fan base to love me so much."

Markus could help but smile as their hands bumped together, Connor hooking his pinky around Markus', subtly wanting to hold hands, which Markus actually grabbed Connor's hand, their fingers lacing together softly.

It was such a small thing that had both men's hearts melting. They were falling fast and hard, there was nothing to stop them from falling. No safety net.

"So, I'm curious, is it just you and your dad?"

Connor nodded, "yeah, mom left him after my older brother Cole passed. I mean, we have uncle Kamski, but he's uncle only in self declaration. His son looks a lot like me."

"Sorry for your loss..."

"Thanks," Connor sighs, "but it's been so long that I've almost forgotten it. I was pretty young. Most of my memories growing up were with my dad and no one else guess that's just how it is."

"How... how did he die?"

"The three of us were in a car crash, the driver was high off red ice and he crashed into us. Both Cole and I were rushed to the hospital, but since I was younger, they focused on me. Cole's injures were fatal, mine weren't. If they had just saw that..." he stopped himself, "we miss him. Because of it, my dad is worried about me constantly. He doesn't want to lose me too."

Markus ran his thumb over the back of Connor's hands, in a soft, gentle and reassuring way. It worked in making him relax.

"What about you? Is it just you and your dad?"

Markus shook his head, "no, I have an older brother. He's more like my mom. We're half brothers and while I've always been like my dad, he's always been like my mom. Sadly, my mom also was killed in a car accident. To red ice too."

"Makes me happy knowing my dad is working to rid Detroit and America of red ice," Connor said softly.

Markus offered a soft, caring smile to Connor, who seemed happy at the gesture. The moment was right, and both of them found themselves moving softly towards each other, their lips grazing before connecting. It was like electricity jolted in their lips.

Such a gentle, yet exhilarating kiss, both of them pulling away with this soft smile.

"I never thought I'd be kissing on the first date."

Connor laughed, "I didn't think I would be either." They finished their ice cream as they continued to walk.

"You know, I watched some of your other videos, after we collared and all that."

"That so?"

Connor nodded, "You're almost exactly the same off camera as you are on camera."

"Same to you."

"So I know it's only been one date and all-"

Connor smiled, "I'll be your boyfriend. I was feeling the same way."

"Read my mind."

"Yup."

They didn't exactly say they were dating, but everyone knew how they felt about each other, and they were hanging out more, so they just assumed.

And they were correct in their assumptions.

Their friends knew full well they had started calling the other their boyfriend and meet the parents happened.

Hank was first.

"So, you're dating my son?" Hank said as Connor went to grab something for their date.

Markus nodded, "going six months strong."

"Just know I will have the entire Detroit police force on my side if you hurt him."

"I wasn't planning on it," Markus informed, "and thanks for the terrifying threat."

"No problem. I do have to ask, how far have you two taken your relationship."

"He's stayed over, but we've only kissed, sir."

"It better stay that way unless you plan on marrying him."

"Would I have your permission if that's what I do plan to do."

"As long as you make him happy."

Markus smiled and nodded as Connor returned with an overnight bag, "were gonna meet the others at North's place, right?"

"Yeah. She has a huge slumber party planned," Markus nodded.

Connor grinned, "I've only had them with Kara before, so this will be fun."

"Oh boy. Thank god we met when you were twenty one. Thank god." Markus muttered.

Carl was the next to meet the boyfriend. Markus was over to help move things and Carl wanted to talk with Connor.

"You seem like a nice boy," Carl had chuckled.

"Thank you! It's nice to finally eat to meet you! After all that Markus has said about you, I've been a bit nervous. Though, it's easy to tell he takes after you."

"I suppose it is easy to tell," Carl chuckled. "I know what Markus is doing with his life, but what about you? What do you plan on doing?"

"Well, I'm taking a bit of time to myself before I become a police officer."

"Following in your father's footsteps?"

Connor nodded, "Yup. His precinct is desperate for me to join. I'm a lot like him, and as my dad and uncle Fowler states, 'better' than him. Though, he'll always number one to me."

"You going to the academy?"

"Oh, I already went. I graduated at a young age."

"Oh!"

Connor scratched he back if his neck nervously, "I only had one friend most of my life because of it."

"So you're a smart ass?"

"To our it nicely."

Carl nodded as Markus came back, "finished moving your studio around. Anything else you need help with?"

"Oh nothing. Just glad to see you again."

"Glad to see you too dad. You should come visit my place soon."

"I will. Now go have fun you crazy kids."

"We're not kids anymore dad."

"You will be kids until you get married."

Markus laughed and Connor laughed too, happy for the little teasing. It meant Carl approved.

"Goodbye Mr Manfred."

"Oh please, call me Carl."

Connor smiled warmly at this, "see you around then Carl. It was nice meeting you." The couple left together, holding hands and talking happily.

The day that they came out they were dating was a very... interesting day and it came out in a very interesting way.

Connor and Markus posted a vlog. They just had different start/stop points.

Day With The Boyfriend| Vlog (ft. Androids)

You Were Right! | Vlog (ft. Connorthederp)

"Morning," Markus teased, holding the camera to capture the beauty that was sleepy Connor.

"Ugh," Connor groaned, "stop clogging so early in the morning. Let me sleep."

"Nope, we've got things to do."

Connor sat up, yawning, "We're just going shopping."

"Shopping for the perfect best man tux for you."

"Still can't believe my best friend is finally getting married. Took Luther long enough."

Markus chuckled, "let's get ready".

"Yeah, turn off the camera. You're not filming me change."

"That's something you'd do."

"No it is not. Stop feeding lies to your fans."

The next clip would be in Connor's vlog whole the duo was eating breakfast. "How the most beautiful man in the world doing?"

"I don't know, how are you doing," Markus retaliated.

"Ruin all my stuff."

"But you love me."

Connor smiled, though that wasn't caught on camera, "I wouldn't date you for over a year if a didn't."

"And I love you for still joking like you'd actually want to leave me."

"Yeah, this year has been pure happiness," Connor laughed.

Markus grinned, "come on, you need to eat you food."

"Alright, Alright."

Markus vlogged the next bit. It was Connor trying on a light blue tux. It fit him perfectly and suit him beautifully.

"Does it look good?" Connor asked, worrying.

"It looks amazing. The best one you've tried on so far."

Connor puffed out his cheeks and nodded, "I'm buying it then. It's perfect for the color scheme."

Connor's vlog.

"Oh no, a fan has found us!" Connor jokingly exclaimed as a teenage boy and his dad approach.

"So you're really Connor and Markus?" The boy asked excitedly.

"It's us. And you?" Markus hummed.

The boy grinned, "I'm David!"

"Nice to meet you!" The two said warmly.

"Could I get a picture?"

"Of course." The camera was down for a minute for the picture than back up.

"So," David said, "Are you two dating?"

Markus slid an arm around Connor, "for over a year."

"Cool! You two are a cute couple! It was nice meeting you!" The big ran off with his dad, and the two continued on.

Markus' vlog.

They two were playing video games at Connor's place, and Kara had walked inc taking he camera from Markus.

"You get your tux yet Connor?"

"Yup!" He exclaimed.

"Good to hear. You've been a massive help with planning. Rose too."

"I almost forgot that Rose is Luther's maid of honor."

"You know full well your the groom of honor and she's the best maid."

"I know."

Kara hummed appreciatively and Connor and Markus played smash bros, "who's winning?"

"Me," Connor informs, "Markus can't hurt me even in the game world."

"Aww-"

"And he doesn't know the controls well."

Kara snorted out a laugh and there was more banter tossed back and forth.

Connor's vlog.

"Going to dinner with the bae."

Markus rolled his eyes, "never use that again. You hang around north too much."

"That's because she's hilarious to be around. So are Simon and Josh. I can see why they're yours friends."

"Yeah," Markus grinned, "they were really happy when we first started dating."

"Because we were made for each other."

Markus stopped walking to pull Connor into a quick kiss that only showed on camera for a quick second before cutting off temporary, only to show back up, "I agree with that."

"You're going to give me a heart attack one day."

"One day. Which isn't today."

"Hopefully."

They shared more domestic moments and were being cheesy as they walked. They stopped filming when they arrived.

Markus' vlog.

North held the camera, "there they are! We gotta get in position."

It was obvious they were there for a reason, North, Simon and josh.

"Man, it's beautiful out tonight," Connor spoke softly, smiling happily at the sky.

Markus looked over at Connor, clear love and adoration in his eyes. "And you're ten times more beautiful." He leaned closer.

"You're such a sap," Connor laughed against Markus' lips, kissing him and pulling away, smiling. He turned to the sky as fireworks set off, happy that Markus found the perfect spot to watch the fireworks.

They happily sat on the grass, Connor leaning against Markus, humming.

"Hey Connor, I got you something."

Connor looked at Markus', "you didn't have to."

"I wanted to."

Connor smiled softly, "Well, I'm sure I'll love it."  Markus moved to one knee, pulling out a small box from his pocket. Connor held a hand over his mouth to struggle his gasp.

"Connor, it's been a wonderful time being with you. From the moment I first saw it, I knew there was something. From our first kiss, I knew I was doomed. Your dad asked me to treat you right, and that's what I plan on doing. I love you, so will you marry me?"

Connor was crying, happy tears, "Yes!" He exclaimed, letting Markus slip the engagement ring on, then hugging him, moving to a long, soft kiss.

"Congrats!" The three friends shouted, making the fair jump and fall down the hill. They were fine.

It was cute.

Connor's vlog.

Connor's camera was set up to face him, the distinct rumble of the shower in the background.

"Markus proposed. I... it's been a little over a year since we started going out and... I have never been happier. You guys, he's perfect. He's everything I've ever hoped for."

Connor held up his hand with the ring, smiling happily, crying tears of joy once more, "I never thought I'd find someone as amazing as him. He's my world, I'm his. I can't believe we met through YouTube of all things. I just... I'm happy. I love you guys, thanks for watching me being a sap.

The video cuts off.

The video was uploaded the next morning, and no one but the couple knew what happened when the video cut off. The couple did break the internet as everyone was freaking out.

When the pair first met, Connor had gotten to 5 million subscribers, by the time the video came out, he was at a good 20 million. Markus had reached 62 million. It was... something to see two incredibly popular youtubers get together. And get engaged.

Connor woke up wrapped in Markus' arms. He hummed softly against the mans bare chest, the sheets barely covering anything.

Last night, they took a lot of steps they'd been afraid to take.

Connor was still dizzy from the amazing mess of it all.

He couldn't be happier.

Hank would be happy to know that Markus' lived to his promise. He didn't have sex with Connor until he proposed to him, fully intending on marrying the bright sunshine.

When Markus woke up, the couple had round two, then got breakfast, preparing for a. Hectic day.

Two weeks later, Kara and Luther got married.

Connor's best man speech had everyone crying.

Six months after that, Markus and Connor got married. Their dads were so proud of them, and all their friends were happy. Kara was Connor's best maid, and North was Markus'. His groomsmen were Simon and Josh though.

Everyone's speech was borderline silly, talking about how the pair got together.

In the end, the pair ended the wedding happily.

Nothing could have made it better.
