part two.

"You did good, Sebastian."

"The shield catch didn't look unnatural?"

"If it did they can always fix it in editing.  But I don't think it did."

Sebastian smiled.  Melanie was taking off his makeup for the day — quickly, too, because he was going somewhere with Chris and Anthony soon. 

"You're almost done," she said, taking off the last bits of makeup in the corner of Sebastian's eyes.

She loved Sebastian's eyes.  If there was someone who'd listen, she could go on about them all day.  They were the perfect shade of blue-grey, and they stood out from his face so beautifully.  She couldn't wait for scenes where he wasn't wearing the mask so that she could make his eyes pop out even more.

Do I have feelings for him?

No way.  She didn't.  She couldn't.  He was good-looking and all, and he had an amazing personality, and he was funny, and nice, and caring, and really, really beautiful...

Okay, maybe she had a little crush.

But it was probably more than that.

"You're good to go, Sebastian."

He stood up and looked in the mirror shortly, then turned around to Melanie again.

"Thank you."

"Hey, it's my job," she said with a smile.

"I'll see you tomorrow."

"See you."

"Took you long enough, Sebastian," said Anthony, as Seb walked inside.

"Mel was taking the eyeliner off," he smiled.  

Chris smiled.

"I have to say, you do take a lot longer than we do," said Chris.

"It's because he needs more makeup than us," joked Anthony.

"It was just today," said Sebastian.  "With all the eye makeup and stuff."

"And anyway, who's Mel?" asked Chris.

"Melanie?  She's my makeup artist."

"Ah," said Chris, looking at Mackie, who was smirking.

"What?" asked Seb.  "What ah?"

Chris just smirked.

"No," said Sebastian.

"Come on, we can tell just by the way you said her name."

"I'm not attracted to her.  There are other girls."

"Uh-huh," said Mackie.  

"You know what?  Let's change the subject."

Chris and Anthony shrugged, then took Sebastian's suggestion.  

-- -- -- -- -- 

Melanie went to work again in the morning, talked to Sebastian a little, stayed for touchups, then took the makeup off at the end of the day.  She didn't even think again about having feelings for him.   Day, after day, after day, she tried hard not to get emotions in her mind.  

Sebastian, on the other hand, thought about what Chris and Anthony had said.  Too much.  And now he was getting nervous to even talk to her.  A lot of the time lately he just smiled, and said hi, and thank you, and goodbye for the day.   

They met in Sebastian's trailer at their break.  Only Chris and Mackie were in costume at the moment:  they had been shooting the scene where you would first see the Falcon flying.

"Any action with your makeup artist?" Mackie asked.  

Sebastian rolled his eyes.  

"You ask that every day.  The answer's no, Anthony."

Mackie smiled anyway.

Sebastian knew they weren't going to stop teasing him about it.  And he was thinking about it, too.  Maybe it was true.

"Okay."

"Okay what?" asked Chris.

"I mean you're right.  She's cute.  She's nice.  She's pretty.  I like her."

"We knew it all along," smiled Chris.  

"Yeah, yeah," said Sebastian, smiling.  "Don't go getting all weird about it."

"Well, what are you going to do about it?"

"I was going to ask you to help me get her number."

"What do you need help for?  It's just asking the girl a question," said Chris.  

"It'll still be awkward," he said.  

"Say you want to have it for the premiere night.   She'll give it to you for that."

"But I don't want to sound like —"

"You won't sound like anything, Sebastian.  Come on, you can do the one thing."

Sebastian just sighed.  

"Okay.  Fine.  I'll ask her tomorrow."

"Ask her today," said Chris.

"Okay.  Later."

"Why don't you just get it done with now?" asked Anthony. 

 Sebastian made a face at him.

"What?  You're on break.  You're not doing anything.  A pretty girl's a better use of your time."

"I —" 

He couldn't think of a better argument.

"Fine."
