A/N: It's Ryan's birthday today!! For some reason, I'm sort of breaking past my writer's block today, so I'm going to make the most of it. To celebrate, and to take my mind off of what else happened today (see the previous part if you're confused), I'm going to write this lil imagine for him. I've only ever done one of these where the person meets you, and I really liked how the other one turned out. Don't expect too much from this one, cuz I haven't done this for a while lol. I hope you enjoy it anyways tho!

Ryan's POV

"And... ta-da!" I exclaimed to myself. "Another video posted!" I spun around in my chair, feeling that awesome sense of accomplishment I always get after uploading.

Max, one of my cats, glared up at me for disturbing his nap. His long black and white tail swished back and forth, a clear sign of unhappiness.

"Oh, come on, buddy," I defended myself. "It's my birthday!"

Max kept glaring at me.

I pretended to pout. "Ok, fine, be that way."

All he did was get up and grumpily turn his back to me.

Jerk, I thought, a smile still working its way onto my face. Then I sighed. Ryan was on vacation, and Rhys and Lewis were also unavailable today, so I was left to myself. Well, except for my cats. However, I found myself craving some human interaction for some reason. Might as well treat myself to a nice coffee for my birthday, I reasoned.

After turning off all my recording equipment, I left Max to his nap and exited the room. Looking out at the sunny sky, I smiled. Great weather for a great day, I thought. I grabbed my house key, my phone, and my wallet from the counter, then headed to the door.

I stopped on my way out to scratch Paddy behind the ears and tell Smithy to stay out of the pantry, then I was off. I decided to enjoy the beautiful weather and walk to a nearby Starbucks. Keeping my eyes in front of me, I stopped only to admire my surroundings and ask to pet someone's dog. Hey, come on, don't judge me. You would've done the same thing.

Once reaching my destination, I ordered my favorite coffee and sat next to a window, watching the world go by. I was deep in thought when I heard the door open behind me. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a young woman with (H/L) (H/C) hair walk up to the counter to order. I noticed her shirt had a Subnautica print on it, and I smiled to myself. I freaking love that game, I thought.

Suddenly, I noticed that she had seen me looking over at her. Oops! I hurriedly became very interested in the way my coffee swished around inside its cup. I chanced another glance at her to see her reaction, and saw a grin slowly spread across her face. Um... confusion?

Next thing I knew, she had obtained her drink and was making a b-line in my direction. "Hey!" she called to me, "I know you!"

You do?

"You're 8-BitRyan!" she continued, still smiling.

I let out a breath that I didn't know I'd been holding. Of course! What were you thinking, Ryan? I smiled back at her, and replied, "Yup, you caught me."

She laughed. "I'm really happy to finally be able to meet you!" she said excitedly.

"I'm always glad to meet someone who watches my videos," I responded. "What's your name?"

"Oh, right." She laughed again, and I caught myself admiring the way it sounded. "I'm (Y/N)."

"Nice," I said. "Hey, if you're not in a hurry, would you like to stay and talk? I'm kinda lonely today," I joked. It was true, the whole reason why I was here was to see other human beings. It would be great to catch up with a fan.

"Sure, yeah!" (Y/N) sat down across from me and took a sip of her (F/D). "Why are you lonely, if you don't mind me asking," she questioned.

I shrugged. "Most of my friends are on vacation right now," I replied, "and I can't just keep talking to my cats all day."

We both laughed. The conversation bounced around, from videos to games to just everyday stuff. I couldn't pretend that I wasn't enjoying her company. Maybe it was just because I hadn't talked to someone one on one like this for a while. Or, maybe... nah. We won't go there.

She is really nice though. Pretty funny too. It was almost like another try not to laugh challenge just talking to her. She likes cats as well, and absolutely adores video games. She also mentioned that she was wanting to start recording herself someday soon, and I gave her some tips. It was like she was hanging onto every word I spoke while telling her a good way to set up the recording or to sync up the audio files with the visuals.

I checked my phone during a lull in the conversation and noticed that I had already been out for an hour. "Hey, (Y/N)," I started, "I should probably get back home. I gotta make sure Smithy didn't get into any food; he's been doing that recently."

(Y/N) smiled. "Yeah, I should probably go too."

Nerves sparked inside my chest as I carefully spoke again. "You wouldn't mind if we were to talk again sometime?" I asked.

Her eyes lit up like fireworks at my words. "Of course not!" she replied. "Do you want my number?"

"Sure," I accepted, breathing an inward sigh of relief that I didn't have to ask her myself. I handed her my phone for her to add her contact into it.

"I really enjoyed getting to talk to you," (Y/N) said, avoiding my eyes as she spoke.

"Not just because I'm a Youtuber?" I questioned jokingly.

"No," she replied, grinning and meeting my gaze, "because you like cats too."

I smiled back at her and took back my phone. We said goodbye at the door and went our separate ways. I took a deep breath as I started to walk away from the shop. That was... awesome! I thought, smiling like an idiot.

A happy, bubbly feeling stayed with me all the way back home, making me practically bounce inside the door when I got back. Checking the pantry to make sure Smithy hadn't gotten into anything, I threw my things back onto the counter and flopped onto the couch. "Beft birfday efer!" I yelled into a pillow.

Paddy jumped up next to me and put a paw onto my head. Looking up at him, I laughed. "Sorry, did I startle you?" I asked him.

He batted his paw at my hair.

Suddenly, my phone's notification sound went off, making Paddy jump from the couch and run into another room. I sat up and checked it, brushing the hair out of my eyes. A smile spread across my face as I read the message.

Hi! It's (Y/N)! Just wanted to know, when can I see you again?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

YAY I DID IT I ACTUALLY WROTE ANOTHER IMAGINE I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

I really hope I'm back for longer than just today. I have no clue really what I'm doing over the summer, but I do know that my mom is forcing me to try to get a job. I'm super anxious about it tho. I have to call a bunch of people and if my application is accepted then I gotta do an interview and ugh I DON'T WANNAAAAAAA

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this one! I know I enjoyed writing it 😂
