"You absolute asshole," Talia scoffed, slapping Sebastian's shoulder as they made their way onto the set, "I can't believe you'd say that!"

Sebastian rolled his eyes, intertwining his fingers with hers as they approached both of their trailers. Talia clutched a coffee in her free hand, lifting it to her lips to take a sip and groaning internally because holy shit did she need the energy.

They parted with a kiss, Talia sighing as she stepped into her trailer and mentally prepared herself for the day ahead. It was the final day on set, and she had two hours worth of makeup to sit through for one final scene. She was nervous as hell, however, considering it was a scene for earlier in the film in which she had to kiss Chris.

When she took on the job, she'd known she would be Steve Rogers' love interest. The idea had excited her; She looked forward to playing such a badass character and being a strong female lead on her own, who just so happened to eventually fall for Steve's charm and their relationship developed from there.

She bit her lip. She knew Sebastian wasn't particularly fond of the prospect of his girlfriend kissing one of his best friends, but it was merely an on-screen kiss. It'd mean nothing to either of them, and she hoped he was aware of that. She loved Sebastian so much, and she was sure of that now as their relationship continued to progress.

The time in which her makeup was applied went far quicker than Talia had hoped, as she was dreading what was to come. Chris was one of her closest friends too - Acting as though she had feelings for him was easy enough, she'd played romantic roles in the past, but kissing him would require a little more she didn't feel comfortable with right now considering who it was with.

The door sounded with a knock, pushed slightly ajar as a voice called in to Talia to tell her she was needed on set for that scene. She drew in a breath. She was ready, she just had to repeatedly remind herself of that.

Her eyes met Sebastian's as she exited her trailer, script clasped between her fingers so that her knuckles turned white. Why the fuck was she so nervous? "Good luck, princess. You'll be fine."

She kissed him quickly, his hand curling around her waist and pulling her closer to him, "Go get 'em."

A crew member muttered something under their breath about how lucky she was to be kissing Sebastian and then Chris consecutively and she laughed a little, eyes crinkling as she pulled away from her boyfriend, "This is weird. But thank you, babe. I love you."

She shrugged his arm away, placing a chaste kiss on his cheek before turning around and pacing towards where she was needed. Chris was readily in position, where Talia would have to wander in once the camera was rolling.

"Ready to go? Or do you need a few more minutes?" and Talia gulped, "I'm ready."

And in a blur, the camera was rolling. Talia stormed into shot, arms swinging, just as specified in the script. "I agreed with and trusted you, Steve! You said no more innocent civilians would be hurt and that's gone to shit!" she cursed, sexual tension thick in the air just as intended as she closed in on Chris' personal space, "I know you mean well, but my sister almost died and so did hundreds of others. It's not right!"

Chris swallowed hard, his eyes squinting shut momentarily, "You're right, Meg, and I understand that. I tried so hard not to let people get hurt, believe me. But Bucky-"

"I know, I know." Talia lifted her hand to run it through her hair as her face scrunched up in frustration, "And I understand."

"I never intended for things to get so out of hand, I thought I was doing - am doing - the right thing. I was blinded by finding Buck again and I understand that now. Honestly Meg, I-"

And just as cliche as imaginable, Talia mumbled, "Fuck it," under her breath and reached up to clasp her hands around the back of Chris' neck. She pulled him down towards her, lips colliding with his suddenly and causing him to feign shock.

She pulled away, wiping her lips and looking down at the floor, before glancing up at Chris again and sharing intense eye contact. His stare was sincere and loving, and Talia couldn't help but compare it to the genuine way Sebastian looked at her.

"You don't know how long I've wanted to do that."

And though it was all in the script, and Talia knew that, she couldn't help but notice something in his eyes that suggested a hint of seriousness.
