In which you fall in love behind the scenes

You yawned as you walked onto set, they had to refilm some scenes, it was so early in the morning. You opened the flap to a tent where you found Hunter, Emma, and Jenna. They were all just talking when you wrapped your arms around Jenna's waist and rested your head onto her shoulder.

"Hey, y/n." She greeted, smiling in your arms. Hunter let out a small snicker when you didn't reply, causing her to look at you. Somehow, within those seconds, you had fallen asleep on her shoulder. "Oh my god." She looked back at the other two and fell back into conversation with them.

Your sleep was oddly comfortable despite standing up. Jenna had totally forgotten about you sleeping and tried to walk, but you fell limp. The fall caused you to wake up, Jenna catching you on time. "What the fuck." You stood up properly, brushing yourself off. "I didn't mean to sleep on you." 

"No, it's okay," She giggled. "You're warm, like a heater. How was the sleep?" She asked, the two of you started to walk around the set, you two weren't needed yet, somehow.

"Honestly, pretty good. It's a little weird standing up, but you're comfortable." You bumped her with your elbow, a teasing smile playing on your lips.

"Warn me that you're going to fall asleep next time." 

You never did. 

You were often found somehow sleeping on Jenna, whether it be laying down or standing up. The cast managed to snag pictures, it was hilarious. You didn't just sleep on Jenna, you fell asleep everywhere. They had seen you sleeping in the background of one of the scenes, keeping it in the show just as an inside joke.

You and Jenna were roommates for this project, making it easier for communication and money purposes. One of you would wake the other, and you both would do your morning routines. Throughout the months, your clothes and Jenna's clothes seemed to combine, she loved to use your hoodies and your sweats, while you grabbed extra clothes from her. Soon enough, you two shared everything, and I mean everything.

You two weren't dating yet, but everyone could tell that there were feelings between the two of you. Neither of you confronted the other about it, but it was due to happen soon.

You had woken up a little earlier, needing to get into the makeup chair for a little longer than the others. You didn't bother waking up Jenna, but you had an alarm set for her. You rummaged the little apartment that the two of you were sharing, trying to find your headphones.

You let out a quiet groan as you gave up. You snuck into Jenna's room, grabbing her headphones. You knew she didn't mind, having used them before. You sent her a quick text before heading off to the set. You slipped the headphones on, connecting them to your phone.

While you were in the chair, Jenna's headphones were around your neck. The makeup artists did you makeup, putting different cuts and such. You heard the door to the trailer open, and you saw Hunter come in.

"Morning Hunter." You greeted, staying deathly still. He replied with a groggy greeting before taking a closer look at you. "What's up?"

"Are those Jenna's?" He asked, pointing towards your neck. You furrowed your eyebrows and looked in the mirror, not seeing anything new with your neck.

"What's on my neck?" You moved the shirt around not seeing anything.

"The headphones, y/n." He chuckled, taking a seat beside you. 

The makeup artists told you that they were finished, you nodded and thanked them. "Oh, yeah the headphones are Jenna's." You leaned into the mirror, taking a look at the prosthetics.

"Won't she kill you for wearing those?" He asked, his eyebrows raising. You cocked your head to the side with a confused look. "They're like her child, she's said it before."

You shrugged, leaning back and putting them on. "It's alright, I think. I texted her about it. Plus I've used them before."

Not even three hours into the day, you fallen asleep. You were wearing Jenna's headphones still, she (by some miracle) let you use it, and you were propped up against a trailer, leaning onto the tire. The big puffy jacket you were wearing over your clothes were cushioning you. 

Everyone was looking for you, they were all calling out your name, but you were unresponsive because you had Jenna's headphones on. Jenna had found you, sound asleep. She let out a giggle as she dit down to wake you up. She knew that you weren't going to hear her, so she patted your leg. You stirred awake, pulling off the headphones. You stared at Jenna, half lidded and all. 

"What's up?" You croaked, stretching in your place with a yawn. "How long have I been sleeping?"

"Long enough for us to be looking for you for half an hour." She chuckled, getting up and giving you a hand. You took it, letting out a slight groan as you got back onto your legs. You didn't even realize that your hands were intertwined as you both walked back.

Once the two of you had regrouped with the others, you saw Tim let out a sigh of relief while Hunter smirked at your intertwined hands. "My bad guys, I was sitting and then I fell asleep." You apologized with a grimace.

"It's alright, let's just get back to filming."

You came out of the shower, drying your hair with your towel. "Go ahead." You told Jenna, heading towards the couch with your laptop. 

You finished some stuff that you needed to do, using your glasses so that you don't have to put in your contacts. You typed away, finishing a few emails. Jenna came out of the bathroom, a stream of heating coming from it. You kept your head facing the laptop, but your eyes followed her. You broke your stare off the girl, going back to your laptop as she sat beside you. She leaned onto your shoulder while you typed away.

Once the sounds of the keyboard had finally calmed down and you had sent one last document, Jenna got up from your shoulder. You bit your bottom lip in concentration as you read through a text from your manager. "Can we talk?" She asked, making you tear your eyes away from the screens and look at her. 

"Sure." You nodded, eyebrows knitted in confusion as you put down your laptop and your phone. You shifted your placement on the couch to look at her. "What's up?"

"Okay, I've been wanting to talk to you about us for a while." You felt your stomach twist, you weren't sure how this conversation was going to go. Either she likes you back and you both start dating or she doesn't like this and rejects you and it makes everything a little awkward. "We- we don't really act like roommates, or even friends at all." You nodded slowly, wanting her to just rip off the bandaid.

"Is that a bad thing?" You were about to lean away, but she grabbed your hand and it stopped you.

She shook her head. "It's good- I like it. I just- I don't wanna skirt around all this tension between us, and I don't wanna lose contact with you, ever. I just don't want this to become a memory, I don't wanna become a memory in Romania."

"You don't have to be," You leaned closer. "Jenna, are you trying to ask me out?" Your heart was about to beat out of your chest. She breathed in, and sighed.

"Yes." She looked at you nervously, but you just reassured her with a smile. "I wanna be your girlfriend."

You shrugged. "Then be my girlfriend, might as well." You smiled at her, she looked at you as if you hung the moon for her. She grabbed your face and smashed your lips together.
