The Spotlight (Sebastian Stan x Reader)

Now What?

Y/N POV

Going back to that empty house made me feel like I made the wrong choice to stay in Boston. I honestly don't need all that LA Drama, but being without him is also going to be a challenge. I miss him already. Thankful, I had some of my recording equipment with me, so I at least had something to fill my time.

I got it all out and began to focus on being productive to distract myself from the reality of being far from him.

*knock knock*

"OPEN UP LOVEBIRDS!" I heard a familiar voice shout.

I rush to the door and opened it, "Hello to you too, Chris."

"Hey, Y/N, what's all this?" he asked, referring to the equipment, "are you turning the house into a studio?"

"I guess so," I answered, "now that Seb left, I have to keep myself busy somehow."

"Where'd he go?" he asked confused.

"Well, he is staring in Pam & Tommy, so he had to fly to LA," I said, "they start filming in a week."

"And why did you stay?"

"I'm not ready for the world, Chris," I mentioned, "I just need a few days then, I'll go back to New York."

"Alright, and till then you'll be cooped up here?" he asked.

"Probably."

"Get up, get dressed, we're going out!" he yelled.

So, without much arguing, I got myself ready and went out with Chris. He took me to his family's house, where we spend the afternoon playing board games and having dinner. As always, they were very welcoming, and I could not have picked a better place to be in at that moment.

When I got back to the house, I decided to call Sebastian since I haven't heard from him all day.

"Hi, Mr. Stan," I said as soon as he picked up the phone.

"Hey, doll," he responded with a dull tone.

"Is everything okay?" I asked with concern.

"Yeah," he started to answer, "it was a long trip and I had forgotten how LA is full of press, so I'm just tired."

"I'm sorry about that," I lamented, "I hope you get to rest tonight."

"I'll try," he said, "my apartment feels very lonely without you though."

"You're telling me," I mentioned, "this house has never been this quiet."

We both let out a laugh. Sebastian talked about the biopic and revealed a bit of the plot, then I told him about my afternoon with the Evans family.

"I'm glad you have good company," he said.

"Me too," I agreed, "I hope your cast will awesome too."

"Yeah, about that..."

"What's wrong?"

"Myra is part of the cast."

"Are you serious?"

"Unfortunately, I am."

For a second, I got worried and didn't know what to say. My mind went into overthinking mode, with questions pouring out left, right and center. "Why did she audition?", "Did they cast her on purpose?", "Do they want to take advantage of the drama?", "Will Seb have to leave me?", "Is that why he hasn't got the green light to post?".

"Y/N?" he grabbed my attention.

"Yeah?" I responded, "sorry about that I'm just shocked."

"I am too," he said, "no one told me I just read it in the briefing papers."

"Ohh."

"And I already asked, they can't recast," he said, "so I'm officially stuck with her."

"Can't wait to see what that brings," I mentioned sarcastically.

"Yeah, I just hope she's professional and keeps her distance."

"Me too."

Despite the news, we continued to speak and said our goodbyes. I couldn't believe that she was back in our lives and so soon. That night, I couldn't sleep and decided to call Alice to tell her the news
