Helpless - A Phillipa Soo X Lin Manuel Miranda Fanfic

Hopelessly Devoted to You - Chapter 5

Phillipa's Pov

I wake up on the sofa, my head leaning on someone - confused I turn slightly to see that it was Lin who I was leaning on. All of a sudden I have that feeling in my stomach that I had before the last show. Until now I had brushed it off as just a those pre show nerves - I still get those from time to time - but did I really feel something? Did I really see Lin as more than my friend?

As I'm still wrapped up in my confused thoughts Lin starts to stir. "Morning" I say as he starts to open his eyes. While Lin wakes up, I get up and l begin to make some breakfast, hmm what should I make? Oooo pancakes. 

Once I've made the food I plate them all up, telling Lin at the same time to get Sebby up so we can have a nice breakfast together as a family - no not as a family . Lin doesn't see me that way, you need to stop thinking like that Pippa. 

We all sit around the table together and eat our pancakes, Sebby being the main source of any laughter, I swear children laughing is intoxicating and contagious. Within minutes all the pancakes are gone and we are all full to the brim. And as Lin and I don't have to be at the theatre until 4:00pm we spend most of the day sat around watching movies and playing in the nearby park, which I  can safely say was a good park.  

At around 3:00pm Lin's mom comes over to look after Sebby whilst we are at the theatre, and shortly after we leave to arrive early, this way no one in the cast would make any assumptions although there is sadly nothing to hide. 

While we are walking down the sidewalk approaching the Rodgers, we begin to hear the sounds of joy and excitement from the stage door. This, this is when we remember why we squeeze into out corsets, sing the same songs eight times a week and be blinded by the lights more often than one would like. The happiness that we bring to people, the joy that young people experience learning history. We smile our biggest smiles to our fans and sign as many playbills as we can before we go inside the theatre and split off to our separate dressing rooms. 

Once we are stood in the wings, waiting to share another night of America's history I turn and make eye contact with Lin. I know I need to tell him. But when. When do I tell him. Tell him that I am crazy in love with him. And just as the opening beats of the show begin I pull him aside and say... 

"Lin, I- I love you"
