-------

Tom adjusts his hoodie over his head as people walk back and forth in the streets of New York. His brother and Harrison are somewhere to his right having a small photoshoot, meanwhile Tom sat on a chair sipping on a frapuccino. He's probably going to regret that later when he goes to bed, but for now he chooses to lean back on his chair and relax. Shooting had taken a toll on him during the week so he was grateful to just enjoy a night out in the city that didn't involve hours of reshoots.

The lights from the screen surrounding him are bright, ads and store signs decorating the buildings as tourists take pictures or walk around with clear signs of a day full of shopping. He looks around, taking his time to watch the different videos being projected around him until a particular one caught his eye. It seemed to be a screen reserved only for Netflix, its shows and movies, and it was currently showing the new stranger things trailer before switching to the classic logo. Curious as to what other shows would be premiering soon, Tom keeps his eyes on the same screen and when it started showing a new video his heart skips a beat. There's a white background and a girl dancing around, her hair moving along with her before she laughs. More people join her and Tom recognizes them a the protagonists of various Netflix shows and movies he had already binged. The screen cuts to the guys from Queer Eye who are also dancing around before they appear in the big group video, laughing with the girl from the first shot. Who is she?

Just as he's about to pull out his phone to google who she could possibly be, the screen cuts to her again, this time a close up of her while she dances. Her name appears on the bottom of the screen:

Y/N L/N, The Butterfly's Flower, Coming to Netflix August 12th.

Tom smiles at her silly dancing before the trailer for another movie starts playing and he takes out his phone. He quickly searches for this movie Y/N would be staring in, finding the synopsis a few seconds later. It is a drama based on a best selling novel and Y/N is said to be the newest revelation in cinema, the movie most likely earning her the rising star award next year. Tom scrolls picture after picture, how had he never heard about her or even seen the trailer? He has to meet her, he needs to find a project with her. So he goes to his contacts and dialed his agent's name who picks up after two rings.

"Hi Tom, what can I help you with." Karla says on the other end of the line.

"Karla, hi! I- I was wondering if you have heard of Y/N L/N?" His right hand comes up to scratch the back of his neck as he stands up and paces a little as he speaks.

"Yeah, someone recommended her for a casting and now she's going to be in this new Netflix movie that's supposedly very good." Tom can hear her pull out her laptop and start tapping away. "Why?"

"I just saw her in a screen here in Times Square..." He pauses for a second, his cheeks burning, Karla and him were actually pretty close but he still feels embarrassed to say he has a huge crush now. "And I want to be in a project with her, I gotta meet her."

Karla chuckles softly and Tom shakes his head, leave it to her to tease him. "I'd say that sounds a lot like love at first sight."

"Who knows." Tom shrugs even though she can't see him. "Will you find out any projects for me though? I'll work really hard and kill it at the audition and see if we're casted together."

"I know, Tom." Karla stops his rambling. "I started asking the moment you mentioned her. She's been auditioning for a romcom, apparently the role is most definitely hers."

"And the love interest?" Tom tries to tone down the hopefulness in his voice and fails terribly.

"They're looking for a male in his twenties, so you're in luck. Auditions start in two weeks, I'll ask for the script and send it to you."

Tom's heart skips another beat, please please please let him get that role. "That's brilliant! I'm done filming this by then. Thank you Karla." He smiles, seeing Y/N up in the bright screen once more.

"Don't mention it, I'll be rooting for you. Goodnight Tom."

"Goodnight." Tom pockets his phone after hanging up, his smile hurting his cheeks. A possible meeting withY/N L/N, he couldn't wait.
