Ocean Eyes I Sebastian Stan I

15

A couple of hours passed in which I did nothing else to work. The costume team had adapted very well to my way of working and we were moving forward quite quickly. When I looked at the clock again I noticed that he had kept everyone here all day and probably no one had had lunch. I apologized to everyone and set them free for an hour.

As everyone left the place, I leaned back in my chair, stretched letting my body relax, closed my eyes and began to spin around in the swivel chair. 

"Hello there" the voice makes me jump, scaring me, causing me to shake the chair being nothing to fall 

"Gosh, Holland! You almost made me kill myself "

"Oh-I...Emm...I'm so sorry miss Sloan, I'll leave you alone" he says nervously 

"No Tom, calm down. You just scared me, I'm not gonna kill you for that." I say laughing. 

"What do you need little Tom. And Brooke is fine, i'm no miss"

"Well, I noticed you hadn't been out of here all day and I figured you hadn't had anything for lunch. And well, I thought- I um... I bought you this" he clumsily pulled a salad out of his backpack

 "How sweet of you Tom, thanks! Do you want to join me?" I invited him with a smile "Thanks"

"Uhm, I also was hoping I could talk to you about something..." he sat shyly

 "Sure, whats up?" I gave him a reassuring smile 

"Well, you know you're the closest person to my age in the whole place. So I was hoping that maybe we could be friends? The others are also my friends, but they still see me as a little boy and I couldn't go with them to ask them for the advice that I want to ask you..." he said in his adorable English accent playing nervously with his hands

"Of course we can be friends Tommy. I know that feeling" I laugh.

 "Anthony and Joe still treat me like their girl after all these years." I joked to relax him 

"How come you guys know each other so well? you never told us" he asked curiously. My smile faded when I realized I messed it up but quickly disassembled and smiled again. 

"It doesn't really matter"I said unimportantly "But hey, what do you need my advice for?" I said in an excited tone

"Well, you know Zendaya right? Yesterday I was going to ask her out on a date, but I panicked and started rambling and ended up stammering if she wanted to go to breakfast at night" he said frustrated as I tried to hold back my laughter 

"Who stutters flirting?! Oh god, what must she think of me now?"

"¿Really? You are worried that you stuttered? Not the evening breakfast part?" I say not being able to contain the laughter anymore and he looks at me badly 

"Look, first... You're a fantastic, handsome, nice, talented guy. Anyone would be lucky to have breakfast at night with you." he smiles at me

"Second, did she turn you down?" I ask knowing that most likely not. I've seen the photos of them on social media, anyone would realize that these guys drive each other crazy. Besides, who rejects such a funny proposal?

"Well, no. She smiled and before she could say anything I ran away. I was embarrassed enough to add that she rejected me" he said scratching his head in shame 

"You fool! How do you know she was going to reject you?!" I say smacking him on the head "Ouch!"

"This is what you fool are going to do. You will send her a text where you will put exactly what I am going to tell you... 'Sorry I ran away, you make me kinda nervous. Still want breakfast at night?'And a clumsy face at the end"

"But I don't want him to know that it makes me nervous. She'll think I'm silly" he takes a bite of his salad 

"Ugh, you men are really stupid. We don't want a man who doesn't show insecurities or his feelings. We want someone who is comfortable with who he is and has no problem showing that he is not strong and unfeeling all the time. She will find it cute that you show her a little bit of how you feel about her, and the breakfast joke will make her smile." I tell him as I close my food tray and get up from my seat. 

"Now go, send that text and plan a romantic date. I need to keep working now."

"Oh no. I'll need your help with that too, I don't want to mess it up." I give him a bad look

 "Please! I'll buy you a drink tonight at the hotel. I need to get you drunk so you agree to help me" he makes me laugh 

"Although it's a tempting proposal, you can't go to the bar, you're a child!" I mock him and he rolls his eyes 

"I'm kidding! But I can't tonight. I'm meeting Sebastian." he raises his eyebrows in surprise

"What?!" Why does everyone think things that are not? "I'm going out with a co-worker for a drink. What's so weird about that?"

"Because we all saw how you laughed and talked all flirty a while ago. There is chemistry there"

"That is not true! Anyways, we'll just go for a few drinks. And he is going to pay" I shrug

"Are you leaving me for Stan?" I shake my head and instantly smile "I leave you for free drinks" I laugh and lead him to the door

"Still, he'll probably take you to the hotel bar. So I'll go anyway and nothing will stop me from going to bother you" he threatens me 

"Sure thing Tommy." I play along. Out of nowhere, Chris walks in and jumps into the conversation that he apparently overheard a little bit of. 

"Yes, there will be something that will stop you" he says challengingly, I roll my eyes. 

"A cutie Romanian with blue eyes and great hair" Tom plays along, I laugh.

"You two need no leave and let me work" I tell them making them go down the stairs of the trailer 

"But don't ditch us at lunch tomorrow for the blue-eyed cutie" Chris shouts as they walk away "The blue-eyed cutie has a girlfriend!" I shout back

"So, blue-eyed cutie?" I turn and he is right there. I think my face drops with embarrassment

"Another blue-eyed cutie" I try to hide, not succeeding very well. 

"Another?" he says with a flirty smile 

"There are a lot of people with blue eyes, Sebastian." I say walking into the trailer, he follows me. "If you say so.."

"Good afternoon Carl, Valerie." He greets the guys on my team who had just come in from their lunch. They look at him strangely as I do. 

"You know our names?" They look at me and back at him. 

"Of course"He keeps walking towards me while looking at me superiorly

"You're not the only one who can learn the names of the staff"

"You know two people's names." I say and he shrugs 

"It's more than most actors" I nod giving him the reason 

"I came because I heard that you will have a new member in your team. Oh, there he is" He says looking behind me, I turn and see the boy. Fuck, Ian. It can't be, he has followed me from home?

"Hey, you okay?" I turn back to Sebastian and gather all my strength to face what is to come.
