They met by chance. Cory's live stream is filled with noise, lights, Valencia donations, someone is joking, someone is laughing loudly. Lyokha Danger flashed into the frame, said a few words in passing, they exchanged a few words, laughed—and that was it. It seemed like a moment that would vanish into the endless stream feed. But the internet, as we know, never forgets.

Months passed. And then one day Lyokha starts his stream and invites Lera. Jokes, humor, unexpected chemistry. At first, it's just a collaboration, then a tradition. Lera flies from Moscow to Almaty for a week, then they go together to Mongolia, where they stream directly from the steppes, laughing, arguing, and teasing each other.

Gifts don't keep you waiting, either. They have their own language of attention—from rare collectible figurines to electronics worth tens of thousands of dollars. Lyokha may suddenly say:

• Well, I built you a computer. Come on over, let's test it out.

And then it turns out that by “testing room” he meant an entire room equipped as a streaming room.

When Lera flew to Serbia to visit him for a housewarming party, everyone noticed that there was clearly something between them. They'd often disappear somewhere together, hugging, and running wild like children. Lera would laugh and give him a kind kiss on the top of his head, and he'd blush and wave her off as if nothing had happened.

At some point, Vadim approached them with his signature grin:

• Lyokha, what's going on with you and Lera?

Lyokha grinned and, without looking up from the monitor, said:

• Nothing, just colleagues.

But everyone who knew Lyokha remembered that he also called his ex “colleague.” The chat exploded. The mods couldn't keep up with banning shippers—edits, art, fanfics, donations with captions like "you're perfect together."

And then, on one of the streams, Lera suddenly said:

— Now I'm getting the documents for the cats to move them somewhere, I'm already packing my things. I'm moving at the beginning of December.

And just a couple of days before this, Lyokha, as if by chance, said:

— Yeah, I've got a new room set up for a streaming room. I installed a computer, lighting, so everything looks awesome—everything just right.
