Easy on me (Y/N)

Chapter 22

Lizzie's POV:
We set up the camera and audio for the interview. It was just going to be an informal chat with live questions from fans that Y/N could pick and choose from so I knew I'd be ok. We sit down on the sofa and I take a deep breath.
"You ready to declare your love for me in front of the whole world?" Y/N giggles.
"Always," I agree. She kisses me gently cupping my cheek.
"I'm right here ok. You've got this," she reassures me. I nod to the tech person behind the camera and stream so we're ready to start. He signals for us to start.
Me: Hi everyone I wanted to do this live stream today to talk a bit about acting in Y/N's new music video and coming out. I asked Y/N to read out your questions and come up with some of her own as there's no one I trust more.
Y/N smiles at me giving me a quick wink before she starts to look for questions on the iPad.
Y/N: Ok first question when did you have your first moment of questioning your sexuality and when did you finally accept it?
Me: I consider my gay awakening as Y/N liked to refer to it as Michelle Pfeiffer as Catwoman. The first time I actually questioned it though was when I watched Y/N play a match. And she was outstanding then she lifted up her shirt to wipe her face and I just couldn't take my eyes off her body. I accepted it when I kissed Y/N for the first time.
Y/N: so basically it's all thanks to me. You're welcome gays.
Y/N's comment makes me laugh and kiss her cheek without even thinking. Y/N looks a little taken aback by it but I don't care the camera is there. She composed herself a little as she blushes.

The questions tend to be along the lines of getting more details about the timeline of our relationship and everything seems to be going well.
Y/N: Ok so these next set of questions are for both of us so Lizzie why don't you pick and we can both answer.
I start scrolling through looking for one I like.
Me: Ooh I like this one. If you could choose one song to describe your relationship what would it be and why?
Y/N: Lizzie serenaded me with this song once. It's called Don't give up on me. I think it describes us perfectly. We will never give up on each other no matter the sh-I mean rubbish life throws at us we will always find our way home to each other.
Me: I love you. That's what I was going to say but much less eloquently. I guess that's why people pay to hear your words.
Y/N: I love you too. If we're being technical they pay to hear your words too. I mean how many of your fans watch movies just cause you're in them. I know I do.
I blush quickly trying to find the next question. Shit this hurts. It reads:
This is disgusting. Marvel is supposed to be family friendly and fun watching for my kids. I don't want them to watch this sinful behaviour. Elizabeth you're pretty enough to find a man to take care of you don't let Y/N corrupt you. Her poor child should be taken away and given to normal right people. He's going to resent her. What can she teach him about being a man?

Y/N's POV;
I watch as Lizzie's entire facial expression change and I glance at what she's reading. Is this random person right? Am I doing my son a disservice?
Lizzie: Ok um I think that's it for the livestream. Thank you so much everyone for joining and for your kind and supportive questions. Please make sure you buy Y/N's new song all the proceeds go to various LGBTQ+ charities across the world.
As soon as the camera stops I get up and leave heading straight to the gym I'd put in my house I begin to wrap my knuckles feeling Lizzie's presence behind me.
"They're wrong you know. Tommy adores you and you will give him strong male presence in his life. We've got Tom who's the sweetest man on the planet. We'll have Colin when you two learn how to play nice. And you know what we can teach him respect towards women and all the important things about how to be a good person," Lizzie assures me. I look at Lizzie and my bottom lip starts to tremble. I clutch at her shirt as I let myself cry.
"You don't think I've corrupted you do you? Like do you think I've manipulated you into being with me?" I sob.
"No. Not at all. Please stop doubting yourself and us," she begs.
"I'll try I just sometimes get scared that you'll realise you're too good for me or I'll lose you again," I explain. Lizzie lifts my chin up to look at her.
"Listen to me. I'm in love with you and I'm staying with you forever. If anything you're too good for me. I will never lose you again. We're a family. This is it. We're just going to keep getting stronger. I love you so much Y/N. I can't wait until the day you can see just how special you are," Lizzie declares kissing me gently.
"I love you too." I compose myself and take Lizzie's hand leading her to the sofa knowing everyone had left now. She sits down looking at me confused.

"I got you something to congratulate you on coming out and just because you're everything to me really," I explain handing her a jar. It's full of notes of reasons why I love her some of them have scribbles from Tommy on them. She starts to read every single one of them while she tears up.
"I love you," she mumbles tearily bringing me in for a kiss.
"I love you too. Now what do you say we celebrate with a nice bottle of wine, dinner, put something on Netflix we pretend to watch when really we just have sex?" I suggest.
"Sounds perfect."
