Picture this (Till Lindemann X reader)

Chapter 9

Before I leave the hotel, I look out onto the street, searching for Till's car or microphones and cameras. At first I see neither, but at exactly 4.45, Till's car stops in front of the building. His windows are darkened, but I know it's him. I grab my things and sprint to his car, quickly getting in. 

'We'll you seem excited' Till greets me, chuckling. I smile at him, panting a little from the adrenaline, 'so were a few people yesterday. I was greeted by mics and cameras' I tell him, buckling my seatbelt. 'You mean those?' Till says. I watch where he's pointing at. I see a small group of people with cameras. It looks like they're already reporting something, seeing them talk into the cameralens. I recognize the two ladies from yesterday, 'yes, those people'

Till starts driving, 'What did they ask?' I think for a moment, 'Eh...they asked who I was and what my relation was to Rammstein or something' I glance at Till, noticing he stepped out of bed not too long ago. 'And what did you answer?' he asks again. 'I told them my name and that I'm just a photographer' I explain. 

'And then they asked if Rammstein is working on a project, or something along the lines of that' I tell him. I notice Till's head shooting my way, 'and what did you tell them?' He asks. 'I told them that they should ask Rammstein themselves!' I grin proudly at Till. 

He snickers amused, 'Good job, that was the exact right answer' he tells me. I smile proud, 'thank y-' I stop myself mid sentence when Till and I stare into each other's eyes for a moment. Till looks back at the road, 'don't you dare say it' he chuckles. 'I didn't complete my sentence, that doesn't count!' I laugh softly before looking outside. 

'Well, I should be thanking you for thinking your answers through' Till tells me. 'If I can't say thank you, you can't either!' I warn him. He chuckles a bit, 'And why not?' Till asks. 'It just not fair, we're in this together' I joke. 'Alright, what if we make a challenge out of this?' He proposes. I smile, feeling those butterflies again, 'okay, what do you suggest?' Till thinks for a moment. 

'Whoever says thank you the most today and tomorrow has to....' he pauses for a moment, 'hmm...' I think of something first, 'has to pay for dinner' I tell him, but immediately regret that I even opened my mouth. That's basically telling Till that I want to go on a date with him. My cheeks heat up right after the thought. 

'Game on!' Till says as he parks the car. I look at the time on my phone, 'wow, perfectly on time again' I tell him. He chuckles, 'I know, it's a hidden talent of mine' he says, smirking handsomely at me before getting out of the car. I grab my stuff and quickly follow him. 

'So, remember to keep track of your thank yous, alright?' Till tells me again. I can't help but laugh at our silly challenge, it makes me happy, 'may the best one win' I follow him inside, 'oh, I will' he teases. We both walk into the canteen area, where everyone's waiting for us. 

John looks at his watch, 'Five AM, exactly on time. Let's get started immediately, everyone!' 

The whole band gets up from their seats and they all walk to the dressingrooms again. I get my cameras ready for pictures and video content.  

I wait in the hallway for the guys and start recording when they step out of the dressingrooms. They all walk by me one by one and greet the camera. I smile amused and try not to blush when I finally see Till walking to the camera. He strikes a pose before walking on. I stop recording and follow Till, 'That looks nice on you' I tell him. 

He looks at me with a smile, 'thank y-' he stops himself. I laugh a little, 'does that count? I think it does' I say. Till chuckles, 'hmmm fine then, but I'll have to be hard on you too' he warns me. I smile shy, trying not to think too much about how sexy that sounds, 'It's the rules, I guess'  I say before we walk outside to start the shoot. 

'Es ist noch so früh!' Paul yawns as we walk towards an airplane that's parked in the middle of a field. 'Alright guys, let's get started, we've got a long day ahead of us!'
