"CHASE THAT CAT, IT TOOK MY WAFFLE" for Gallipieck please

I’ve always wanted to do a YouTuber AU and this seems like the kind of weird shit that would happen to a YouTuber or something :D 

Waffle Prince

Gallipieck. YouTuber AU.

1245 words. 

Honestly, he thinks that half the shit on YouTube vlogs is made up. Squirrel attacks? Near death experience with hair spray? Crazy math teacher? It’s believable if they happen occasionally, but Porco sees YouTubers pull out these ridiculous anecdotes every week and he finds it hard to believe that so many people have strange things happen to them. After all, didn’t they spend most of their time sitting at home editing footage of themselves? How many weird things could possibly happen to them every week if at all?

Yeah, he could just not watch them, but it seems that everyone’s obsessed and there’s always a new YouTube star making it big. His classmates shove their phones in his face, laughing over the silly pranks the vloggers played or the stories they told. He’s caught his brother watching videos on occasion although Marcel has always insisted that he’s only interested in playthroughsbecause he likes exploring different endings. Heck, Porco’s even had to sitthrough a bunch of educational videos from YouTube creators. They’re admittedlyeasier to sit through than the typical documentaries that he was forced towatch when he was younger, but it’s strange hearing about the history of Romefrom someone his age. And to think that people are excited about these contentcreators not only putting out more videos, but organizing tours, writing books, and releasing music albums as well. He’s fairly certain that a majority of these people either make up these personal stories or staged crazy antics in order to make it big. At least that’s what he thinks until he finds himself chasing a stray cat after a girl yells at him to catch it.

He’s just walking home from band practice, thinking about how he’s not really looking forward to the upcoming football game because he hates playing since it’s always too cold and it’s not like anyone can hear the pep band anyway. They’re shit at playing marches too, he thinks.

“Chase that cat!” a girl shouts from behind him. “It took my waffle!”

He barely has time to look over his shoulder when a brown striped cat streaks past him, waffle in its mouth, and Porco lunges instinctively to catch it but it slips through his hands. Bewildered, he straightens back up to watch the cat run further ahead and then he turns back to the girl whose waffle had been stolen.

She doesn’t look like any of his classmates, but she looks strangely familiar to him and he’s about to open his mouth and ask her if they know each other, but the girl is still running. “Don’t just stand there!” she yells. She’s pointing ahead of him to where the cat is scampering away. “He’s getting away!”

And that’s how Porco finds himself chasing a cat over some random girl’s waffle. He really should have taken the time to assess the situation and just walk away after realizing he didn’t know the girl at all and that a waffle wasn’t worth running after a cat, but he always instinctively follows orders no matter how ridiculous they are.

“Hey,” Porco pants, grabbing the girl by her shoulder so she stops running. “Are we really…chasing a cat…over a waffle?”

She blinks at him as if this whole scenario is entirely normal for her. “What’s your point?” Unlike him, she’s not gasping for breath. She’s not even sweating, but her black hair is terribly tangled from running. 

He’s not sure whether he should reword the question or just repeat it again very slowly for her in the hopes that she’ll somehow see it the way he does. He goes with the first option. “When we catch the cat, are you going to eat the waffle?” he asks. “I mean. The waffle’s been in its mouth. And you could always buy another one. Or make one yourself.”

The girl stands there for a second, assessing the new information he had presented to her. “I was really looking forward to it though…,” she sighs. She looks wistfully at where the cat disappeared. “My friend told me Waffle Lot had waffles to die for.”

Porco snorts. “Overrated,” he says. “Der Wafflehaus is much better and you don’t have to wait in such long lines. And they’re very generous with their toppings too.”

She pulls out her phone, opening up a GPS app. “Der Wafflehaus?” she repeats. “Is it close by?”

He leans over her shoulder and taps on the first option that comes up after she types in the name of the restaurant. “Yeah, you can walk from here. They stay open pretty late, so you can always go back later if you don’t want to go now.”

“Oh, thanks!” She turns to give him a brilliant smile and he swears he’s seen her before, but he can’t remember where. “I’m Pieck, by the way. I came to visit a friend for a few days. That’s actually where I was headed before that cat stole my waffle.”

Pieck. Why does that name sound so familiar?

“Er, I’m Porco. Porco Galliard,” he says after he realizes he’s been standing there too long.

“Porco,” she repeats as if weighing his name on her tongue. She must like it because she smiles again. “Well, it’s nice to meet you, but I should get to going. Maybe I’ll see you around.”

As she walks off down the street, Porco wracks his brain to remember where he’s seen her face before. God, even her voice sounds vaguely familiar, but he can’t remember. He goes to sleep muttering her name.

It’s not until a few days later that he sees her again.

He passes by his friends who are huddled over Reiner’s phone, eyes glued to the screen. When he sees the face on the phone, he has to do a double take.

“…gallant young fellow who introduced me to a better waffle restaurant after helping me chase down a terrible cat who stole my waffle,” the girl in the video says, faking a swoon. “I’m still heartbroken over the waffle, but the guy was very nice.”

The bespectacled guy sitting beside her chuckles. “Yeah, I have to admit that those waffles were very excellent. I’m pretty ashamed of not knowing about that place until you swung by with their waffles.” If Porco recalls correctly, the guy with the glasses is named Zeke who vlogged about his personal life and occasionally put up helpful cram videos when it came time for exams.

“Thank you, Waffle Prince,” the girl says, smiling at the camera and giving a wave. There’s no mistake about it. That girl he ran into yesterday is Pieck, the rising YouTube star known for her amusing anecdotes and harmless yet wholesome pranks with friends.

“Zeke lives in our city, doesn’t he?” Reiner says as the vloggers continue with the real topic of video (something about reading past emails and messages from their middle school days). “Maybe Pieck met someone we knew.”

Annie sits on the other side of the room, curled up with a book instead of watching the video. “Doubt it. The city’s too big.”

“Are you okay, Porco?” Bertholdt asks. “Your ears are really red right now.”

Porco covers his ear with his hand, but he knows the color is going to reach his face soon. “I’m fine,” he mutters, still burning after hearing Pieck refer to him as her “Waffle Prince.”

If he ever meets her again, he’s going to tell her to just use his real name.
