Fame Crazy (Sequel to Strings Attached)

Chapter 71

The most recent tweet reads, "Who wants to see @CastielNovak in a video this week?" It's a poll, and the answers are, "Yes!!!" "Hell yes!!!" "Castiel should take over your channel completely!" and "No. I also hate rainbows and kittens and will die alone."

Castiel votes yes, mostly just to see the answers so far. It's amazing how many people have voted already. He tweeted it under two minutes ago, and there are hundreds of votes. 46% say yes, 49% say hell yes, 3% say Castiel should take over the channel, and 2% hate rainbows and kittens.

Castiel retweets the tweet, then decides to text Lucifer because he's bored.

Castiel: What if I don't want to be in a video?

Lucifer: That matters because...?

Castiel: I could just refuse to do anything.

Lucifer: But my whole career kinda rides on you rn

Castiel: You don't need a career.

Lucifer: Hey! #SatanLivesMatter

Castiel: *rolls eyes*

Lucifer: No but really, you don't have a choice. I have the rest of the family in videos. I just need you

Castiel: You're lucky I like you. I'll do it.

Lucifer: *throws party*

Castiel: *is awkward wallflower at party*

Lucifer: *forces you into social interaction*

Castiel: *sobs in corner*

Lucifer: *throws rainbow glitter at you*

Castiel: Confetti! It's a parade!

Lucifer: *facepalms*

Lucifer: Jk I like parades

Lucifer: *rents high school marching band for parade*

Castiel: You can't rent a high school marching band.

Lucifer: bisch watch me

The two text for a while, until Castiel receives a text from Michael just over an hour later. Michael rarely texts him, and this is just a link, so he quickly heads over to check it out.

It's a link to a YouTube video someone from the audience took of his short time onstage with Lilith. He knew it would go viral, but how did someone get it up that quickly? The video, titled "Castiel Novak gets mad at Lilith," includes his walk off, which in hindsight wasn't a very smart idea but he doesn't know what else he would have done. He sure as hell couldn't have given in; he isn't a pushover, and he wants it to be known that no means no, no matter how high and mighty you may think you are.

Castiel: ... oops?

Michael: You realize that's going to reflect horribly on you as a person, right?

Castiel: Meh. People will get over it.

Michael: Will they? You've been pretty off lately in the public eye, with your fight with Dean. Twice that quickly? You need to watch yourself.

Castiel: Jim's gonna give me the same speech as soon as he sees it, so you can shut it.

Castiel switches back to his chat with Lucifer.

Castiel: Sorry. Got distracted. But Superwoman is waaaaay better than Niga Higa!

Lucifer: STAWP IT! YOURE HURTING MY SOUL!!!!!

Castiel: I just speak the truth, Luce. You can't handle it, that's your problem.

Lucifer: If I ever make it in the YouTube world and meet them at vidcon I'm totally telling Ryan you said that.

Castiel: As long as you tell Lilly too.

There's a pause, something that doesn't happen much when he's talking to the over enthusiastic Lucifer. Finally, he gets a response.

Lucifer: You better apologize to Mikey when you get here.

Castiel: ?

Lucifer: He told me what you said and you have to apologize to him

Castiel rolls his eyes and opens Instagram to see what his friends are posting instead of responding. He'd really not in the mood not a serious discussion right now.
