Request for @AnushaMalik4
Hope you enjoy it. Sorry it's quite short.
You had currently been dating Tom for a year now. It had been taking awhile for you to get use to Tom's life, with all the fans and paparazzi engaged in his life. You cared a lot about what fans said about you, or what their opinions were about you. It made you really stressed out and it didn't help your anxiety at all. But you tried to ignore it and the paparazzi as well but you still weren't comfortable around you. You were currently over in LA with Tom as he was filming. He had a day off and you and him decided to go out. You really hadn't talked to him about you feeling anxious or nervous around paparazzi, you just didn't want to worry him.
"You ready to go?" Tom asked you as he was standing at the door waiting for you.
"Yeah, let's go" You say to him. He takes your hand and you make your way to the garage.
No one was waiting outside for Tom, you felt relieved and thankful as you couldn't deal with it as soon as you stepped outside for the day. You both got in the car and Tom began to drive it out of the garage. Tom drove to a little cafe not far from where you's were staying, he had been before and said it was really good. When the car stopped another car parked behind you's. You looked in the mirror and saw it was the paparazzi.
"Stay in the car, I'll get you out" Tom said to you. You nod your head in response. He got out the car and walked round to your door. You saw the flashes of camera through the window and tried to calm yourself down. Tom held out his hand for you and helped you out of the car. You both made your way to the cafe entrance with the sound of camera clicks following you.
You got in the cafe and Tom had asked for a table not near the entrance. You made your way to the table and you both sat down.
"You okay?" Tom asked you looking concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine" You say, you smile at him trying to convince him that you were fine.
"Y/N, talk to me" He says to you.
"It's stupid, don't worry about it" You say to him letting out small laugh. He gives you a look and you sigh at him.
"It's just, I get really anxious and stressed when we go out because of the paparazzi and fans surrounding us. It just kinda freaks me out a bit" You say explaining to him.
"I'm sorry Y/N" He says to you, you can see the guilt on his face. You place your hand on his.
"Hey, don't apologize, you can't do anything about it" You say to him, trying to reassure him.
"I know it's just I feel helpless, like I can't do anything to help you" He says to you.
"Don't feel like that. You actually help me" You say to him.
"What do you mean?" He asks you.
"Well, when they surround us, you're always by my side and it helps me calm down as I feel safe and protected" You say to him smiling. He smiles back at you.
"I'm always gonna be by your side, I don't want anything to happen to you. Just tell me when you feel anxious okay" He says to you. You nod in response.
After the talk you order some food and talk about other things. You have a competition of the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you. You both go into laughing fits when you tell each other your stories. After eating and talking some more Tom pays for the food and you begin to make your way out. You see more paparazzi surrounding the entrance and you stop just before the door. Tom looks at you and then at the entrance where the paparazzi is.
"Hey, it's okay, I got you" Tom reassures you. He puts his arm around you and you both begin to make your way outside. The paparazzi immediately begins to take photos of you and Tom. You keep your head down as you make your way to the car. Tom brings you closer to him as you walk to your side of the car. He helps you in and closes your door before he makes his way round to his side. He gets in and starts the car and begins to drive off.
"Where are we going now?" You ask him.
"It's a surprise" He says smiling. In response you roll your eyes and laugh at him.
After driving for a bit Tom finally stops and parks the car. You both get out and he takes your hand as you both start walking away from the car. You go round the corner and see Golden Apple Comics. You love comic book stores, you start to get all excited when you start making your way towards it which makes Tom laugh. You go in and see a few other people in. Their eyes immediately go to Tom and they begin to freak out. They come up to him and ask for pictures. You make your way to the side and start to look at comics while Tom takes pictures.
"You find any you like?" Tom asks you as he wraps his arms around your waist.
"A few" You say as you lean back into him. You both look for more comics and both have your own piles. You go to checkout them, the employee asks for Tom to sign some Spider-Man comics before you leave. You make your way outside and begin to walk back to the car, when you notice paparazzi across the road taking pictures of you and Tom.
"Here watch this" Tom says to you before he looks in the direction of the paparazzi and does the web shooter pose. You laugh at him as he begins to do other poses.
"Come on pose with me" He says to you, you begin to pose with him and can't help but laugh. The paparazzi love it and give you and Tom a thumbs up before they walk away.
"You okay?" Tom asks you.
"Yeah, that was good" You say to him.
"I just want to make sure you feel safe" He says to you. You stop him and lean in and kiss him.
"I do feel safe, thank you for being there for me" You say to him.
"Anything for you" He says smiling. He kisses you before you make our way to the car.
