The Spotlight (Sebastian Stan x Reader)

Premiere party for TFWS II

He walked with so much confidence and grace, I couldn't resist but watch as he came towards the table. When he arrived, he greeted everyone at our table and when he got to me, I stood up to hug him.

"You look gorgeous, doll," he whispered in my ear and kissed me on my cheek. 

"You don't look half bad yourself, Mr. Stan," I whispered back, as we both let go of each other so he could take his place, and I shook hands with Myra.

The rest of the evening consisted of watching the pilot episode for the show, speeches from the director and cast, eating some gourmet dinner, and just talking. As we finished dessert, music started to play, and since it was more for couples, I stayed sitting talking to Chris. He was very charming, sweet, funny, and knew the right things to say. During one of our conversations, I got distracted when I looked out at the dance floor and saw Sebastian dancing and laughing like they were really in love.

For a moment I began to overthink, and my mind started filling up with the thoughts of us and how they might never come to happen. 

"Would you like to dance?" Chris asked with his hand extended to me. I hesitated and thought it would be best to turn it down but then again, nothing in this game is guaranteed.

"I'd love to," I happily replied.

I took his hand as we stood up, and he guided me to the dance floor where he put the other hand on my hip, bringing me in closer to him. I put my hand on his shoulder, he felt firm and smelled amazing. I was so close to his bearded face, that  I couldn't help but enjoy his presence and his moves.

"Well, I have to admit, you're an awesome dancer," I said as we danced.

"Why thank you, Y/N, I'd have to say the same to you," Chris responded.

"Thank you," I said, "if you're not careful tho, I might I have to take on tour with me," I said again which us laugh.

I could feel that we were being watched and I didn't mind cause at that moment we were the ones to watch.

Then Chris leaned in my ear to say, "If you're not careful I might take you out dancing."

The moment I heard what he said, I began to blush and I bit my bottom lip with a smile, not knowing what to answer. But the moment, I wanted to give Chris an answer, Sebastian interrupted.

"Do you mind if I have a dance with her?" Sebastian asked Chris.

"Sure," Chris answered and he switched to dance with Myra.

He immediately took me in his arms and it felt like home and everything else faded away. He put both of his hands around my waist, and I put them around his neck. He pulled me close, hardly leaving any space between us.

"Isn't that a bit too close?" I asked.

"Didn't see you complaining when you were dancing with Evans," he responded.

"Are you jealous, Mr. Stan?" I asked with a smug smile.

"Maybe," he admitted.

"Then now you know how I feel," I said I looking straight into his eyes.

"I know, and I'm very sorry," he said as we still danced.

"Wasn't this supposed to be over by now Seb?" I said with a sorrowful look.

"It was," he started to speak, "but they want me to keep it going 'cause it's been having a great impression."

"Seb," I said, "I like you a lot, but watching you two acting like a real couple is very convincing and that it hurts. What if this turns into a year, then two, and you start to like her. What happens to me then?"

"That won't happen, Y/N," 

"Can you promise me?" I asked.

He looked at our surroundings and answered, "this isn't the place or place to talk about this."

That comment was enough to make me stop dancing and let him go. I turned around and I swiftly made my way to the bathroom. I stood in front of the mirror and tried my best not to cry and run my make-up. I took deep breaths to calm myself down, I wasn't going to let him ruin the night. As I started to feel better, I hear the bathroom door open and in come Myra.
