Ground Zero and Red Riot are both rather popular YouTubers who make content in the same genres. They have a lot of mutual fans who liked the thought of some connection between the two which only escalated after they began acknowledging the others ex...
They had been tweeting back and forth for a couple of weeks. Slowly but surely, they had learned little things about each other. That Zero liked spicy food, that Red wore fucking crocs, that they both had a strange guilty pleasure for sports anime like Yuri!!! On Ice, Haikyuu!! and Kuroko no Basuke and shounen ai anime like Banana Fish. It was all pretty basic level stuff that, although it wasn't too in-depth, was fun to learn nevertheless.
There was one slightly risky tweet that Kirishima decided to make. He was stalking through Zero's old tweets (as you do) and saw one that was interesting to him. He saw an opportunity to make a joke out of it so he took it, knowing that Zero wouldn't have taken it seriously. It would probably also be enjoyable for the fans reading too if they could see the joke.
However, the replies were not at all what he expected.

He lives in Kanto...
I live in Kanto...
Sure it's quite a big place, but I doubt we're at either end of it. I'm pretty far north, so this honestly depends on where he is. But he wants to meet up‽ Even if it was a joke, I know that it's completely possible sometime in the future. I have a car, money and nothing to lose.
He couldn't just reply being like 'Me too!' at this point. This was the opportunity he had been looking for. He'd finally found a solid excuse to direct message Zero.
However, he didn't know what to say. Eventually, he just settled on sending his location and nothing else, which was okay considering the context that led them to this situation.
Explosion Murder Holy shit No way You're actually from Kanto?
Red Born and raised!
At first, it was kind of hard to tell if Zero took that as a positive or not. There'd be no reason for him not to, but it was still slightly nerve-wracking.
A notification came through about a minute later, which made the red head jump in his seat.
Explosion Murder sent you his location.
Without a second thought, Kirishima clicked, figuring out just how far away Zero was from him. It didn't take him long to see that he was in the area of Kanto known as central, which was pretty self-explanatory as it was in the centre of the Kanto region. It was the main attraction of Kanto. Where the tourists would stray to, where all the huge shopping centres were and where many festivals and conventions were held. Even better than that, it was only a one and a half hour drive away from Kirishima's house.
Red This is crazy! You're only a couple hours away
Explosion Murder To think that you've been this close the whole damn time is infuriating
