*Avengers theme tune*
Ruby smacked her phone alarm off.
I grunted.
"Gabriella Annabelle Armstrong get up!" Ruby leaped on top of me.
I grunted louder.
"Come on! It's fucking COMIC-CON!" She screamed in my face.
"Alright! I'm getting up!" I laughed.
"Good, now lets get ready and go meet some celebrities!" She danced.

We got to the entrance and it was mobbed with people.
We showed our badges and we got wristbands and headed inside.
"This is crazy! Can you believe we're here?" I said excitedly.
"I'm freaking out!" Ruby laughs.
"What time is our photos with Tom?" I asked looking at my phone.
"01:30pm." She said.
"Shit it's 1:15! The line is going to be so long oh my god! Why didn't we come earlier?" I huffed as we ran to the section where we were meant to be.
We finally got to the line and it was huge. So many people were lined up; some in cosplay, some crying, some little kids and some older people.
We were behind a couple who were dressed as Peter and MJ.
"They're so cute." I whispered to Ruby.
"I bet he's gonna give special treatment to them, Ugh." She folded her arms.
"He can't really give certain people treatment. Cause he's meeting probably over 500 people."
"True. I bet he'll give some special treatment for me though," Ruby squished her boobs together.
"Ha! You wish. I don't think you're his type," I laughed. She gasped.
"And what? You're his type?" She scoffed.
"Um...I mean no...he likes petite blondes and I'm..." I looked down at myself.
"A curvy brunette?" I failed to describe myself. Ruby pushed me.
"Girl you dance so you've got abs and shit! You're so skinny I could just break you in half! And you've got double D's! And a big butt! Who wouldn't want you?" Ruby laughed.
"Thanks Rubes. You're hot too." I winked at her.
"Girl I know!" She turned around and started twerking subtly.
"Oh my god Ruby!" I laughed.
————————————————————
We waited in line for an hour and a half and it was close to getting to us.
We had a big group of girls behind us but that was it.
"I'm a bit nervous." I lied.
I was very nervous.
"Just act like you're talking to me!" Ruby smiled.
"So will I grab his butt and say, oh wow those squats have made your butt bigger!" I laughed.
"I mean, you never know he could like it."
"Or I could get arrested for sexual harassment."
"Yeah but I can distract the police officers with my tits and ass." She laughed.
The couple in front of us went.
"Oh my god I love this! It's nice to meet you," I could faintly hear Tom speaking over the noise.
I started to panic a little.
"I'm really nervous Rubes." I started taking deep breaths.
"Just do you're breathing exercises! You'll be fine! I promise okay?" She rubbed my arms.
I breathed with Ruby until we heard:
"Next!"
"Shit." I said under my breath before we both walked up to Tom.

"Hey guys how are you? It's lovely to meet you I'm Tom!" He smiles cutely as we walk up to him.
Ruby hugs him.
"I'm Ruby," she smiled as they pulled away.
"I'm Gabriella, well - Gabi," I laughed as I hugged him.
His nice aftershave hit me and I realised that I was hugging Tom Holland which made me feel a bit lightheaded. I stumbled a bit as I let go of Tom but he grabbed me by the waist.
"Are you okay?" He asked with a slight laugh before letting me go.
"Um...yeah just a bit light headed." I lightly laughed.
"I'll get you some water." Ruby said as she smiled at Tom and ran off.
"I love the outfit," he laughed.
He made me feel really comfortable.
Which was weird because I'm severely socially awkward.
"Oh thank you!" I laughed.
"Where you from?" He asked as he pushed his gorgeous hair back, making some curls fall on his face.
"Kingston actually." I smiled.
"Really? Small world." He laughed and bit his lip.
"Are you in Uni?"
"Eh no I actually have my own dance academy, from little kids to over 50's." I laugh.
"No way! How old are you?" He smiled.
"I'm 22." I smiled.
"You look younger. That's crazy though! So what type of dancing do you do?" He asked. Ha, I knew he would like me.
"Hip-hop, Lyrical, Contemporary and Jazz." I smiled.
"That's so cool." He smiled widely.
"Oh and ballroom and Latin. I don't know how I forgot those." I laughed.
"You're kidding! How the hell are you so talented and you're 22!" He laughed.
"Okay, I could say the same thing to you!"
"I'm 23 actually." He pouted his lips.
I laughed...a little too hard.
"You have a really cu-" he paused.
"Nice laugh." He laughed nervously because he knew I knew he was about to say cute.
"Thank you. You do too." I giggled.
"Picture time?" The photographer asked.
"Oh yeah! What pose?" Tom looked at me enthusiastically.
"I have no idea," I smiled.
"Really? Usually people know exactly what they want." He squinted his eyes.
"Well I never know exactly what I want so I'm a refresher for you." I curtsied humourlessly.
"Good idea we should do that pose! Where you bow down to me!" He bowed in the same manner.
"Shut up!" I playfully pushed him lightly.
"Okay no bullying here!" He laughed.
I stuck my tongue out. He did it back.
"Uhh...we can do multiple so...what if you jumped up and I held you like in the honeymoon style."
"You sure you can hold me?" I asked.
"You're tiny in height and weight so, I think so." He laughed.
"Okay ready?" I asked. He nodded.
I wrapped my right arm around his neck and I could feel them spike up into goosebumps.
I jumped up and he caught me effortlessly.
"Oh my god you are so light!" He started swaying me like a baby.
I laughed then we posed for the picture.
"Okay next pose." Tom said as he put me down carefully.
"I'll stand in front of you a bit then," I wrapped his arm around my waist and I intertwined our hands.
Once I actually realised what I done I blushed and I could feel Toms heartbeat quicken through his chest.
"Sorry," I laughed.
"No no, it's uh...it's great. What do I do with my other hand?" He asked.
"Just put it in your pocket. Shit I don't know where to put mine I-"
He suddenly rested his head on my shoulder and leant against my head and took my other hand up to the side of his face and hair.
"That okay?" He asked quietly.
His suddenly quieter and lower voice sent a chill down my spine.
"Uh huh." I said through my lip which I was biting.
"Say cheese!" The photographer smiled
We leant our heads together for the photo. The flash went off though we kept our position for a couple of seconds.
"Are we just going to keep like this then?" I giggled.
"I like it here. You're very comfortable." He said.
"Comfortable or chubby?"
"Do not say you're chubby you're like the most gorgeous girl here." He looked at me. A huge smile crept across my face as I faced his embarrassed expression.
"Thank you." I whispered.
"So umm. Goodbye?" He laughed.
We both looked at our intertwined hands.
"Bye, thank you." I went on my tippy toes to embrace him again.
He wrapped his arms around my waist and I his neck.
As we pulled away he slipped something into my jacket pocket.
"Text me later." He said as he bit his lip.
"Do you always have a copy of your number ready to give a girl?" I laughed.
"Only if I met a very special girl." He smiled cutely but hotly at the same time.
"I'll text you later then." I smiled.
We paused for a moment - not wanting to say goodbye - when I leant up and kissed his cheek, leaving a perfect red Lipstick Stain on his cheek.
I smiled when I saw it.
I didn't bother telling him because he knew it was there. I winked at him before leaving the picture area.
Holy shit. What and who was that?
