Aries was waiting in line eagerly glancing over people's heads to see the one and only Tom Hiddleston. Her short sculpture didn't allow her to see much over everyone's heads only small glances here and there.

Despite how much he loved his job and meeting his fans, Tom was starting to grow tired after a long day of interviews and autograph signings. He glanced up to see how many people were left in the room, happy there were only about a handful left to make their way down the panel, him being the last actor in the line meant he'd have to wait until everyone had gone before he too could make his way back to his hotel room for the night.

She was starting to get nervous as she made her way closer and closer to the table. Aries reached the front smiling at Chris Evans as he signed the poster. She glanced down at Tom not believing how close she was to him. Moving along Aries talked to all of the cast till she had finally made it to the end. Her breath hitched as he looked up at her with his ever so gorgeous eyes.

Tom's heart stopped momentarily when he saw her. A large pair of hazel eyes stared down at him from across the table. Dark brown curls cascading down to just below her shoulders. Tom smiled gently at her , wanting to find out if this angel's smile matched her beautiful features and to his delight she returned it. He heard Scarlett clear her throat from beside him and snapped out of his daze, suddenly remembering the whole reason he was there. At first he was just going to sign her poster like everyone else he had signed for, but he was so desperate to find out her name he came up with a sneaky plan.

"I shall need a name to be able to write a lovely little message to darling. What would that beautiful name be?" He asked with a sly smile, tapping the tip of his pen against his bottom lip.

Aries legs started to shake. This wasn't part of the plan, she had practiced everything she was going to say to him just to make sure she didn't say anything embarrassing or daft. She gazed down at the pen and his bottom lip. Going into a deep daze thinking thoughts she shouldn't haven't been thinking.

"Uhm m-my name?" She asked forgetting how to speak English for a second then snapping back into reality. "Aries my names Aries." She said turning a crimson red embarrassed by her actions.

Tom suddenly noticed his goddess turning a dark shade of crimson and chuckled quietly to himself at how adorable she was turning out to be. He realized he'd obviously caught her out, so when she stuttered out her name he smiled and repeated her name over and over again in his head.

"That is indeed a very beautiful name. And what brings you here to Comic Con darling?" He added, still desperately trying to find out as much about this stunning woman before she slipped away, most likely not to be seen again.

Her heart skipped a beat when he had called her darling. She had almost fallen to the ground but was able to steady herself. What would it be like kissing him if just looking at him caused her to act like this? She thought biting her lip.

"I'm quite the nerd," she said instantly regretting her words. 'Why would Tom Hiddleston want to talk to a nerd?' She asked herself mentally face palming.

His eyes latched onto her bottom lip as she drew it between her teeth. Most likely a nervous habit, he thought to himself, but then found himself wondering what it would be like to bite that lip for her. His gazed roamed up and down her petite form, taking in every curve and line. She may not have been the skinniest of women but that wasn't always a bad thing, especially not in Aries' case. It had been a few long seconds before he realized she'd replied to his question.

Feeling a little tight in his jeans, Tom shifted in his seat, adjusting his crotch subtly after his little session of taking in her perfect form. He then leant forward a little on his elbows, resting his chin on his hands and continued their conversation.

"Now that I'm not shocked at," he chuckled. "I'd like to think I was a bit of a nerd myself too, nothing wrong with that love," he smiled looking up at her soft eyes and noticed how intently she listened, she was the first woman today who hadn't gone completely crazy over him. It was a nice change.

She watched him look her up and down, her breath running short. She thought about taking him on the table right there but decided against it, for both hers and Tom's benefit. The people behind her waited impatiently as a guard came over to move her a long thinking that she was bothering him.

"W-wait could you sign my poster?" Aries asked before the guard was able to shove her out of the line. She fidgeted with the hem of her shirt as the guard stepped back so Tom would be able to sign the poster.

Seeing the last few people in the line becoming inpatient and the security guard make his way over, Tom realized he'd run out of time with Aries. And much to his dismay he had a feeling this may be the last time he'd see her. Before the guard dragged her away, she managed to remind him to sign her poster so he quickly scrawled out a note to her along with his signature.

'To Aries. It was a pleasure to meet you my darling. May your future be bright and remain nerdy. Love Tom Hiddleston'

Before he realized himself what he was doing, when she wasn't looking, Tom flipped the corner of the poster over and scribbled down one last secret message. 'In case you fancied continuing our conversation' followed by the eleven digit number for his personal mobile. He handed the poster back to Aries, their fingertips brushing slightly. He watched her walk away and out the double doors of the hall, only praying that she would find the little message on the back of her keepsake. Aries shivered under his touch a warmth running up her body. She had felt so comforted and wanted to stay there longer but realized she couldn't when the guard nudged her away.

She quickly walked out going out to the streets and making her way back to her apartment. She noticed something on the other side of the poster and flipped it over. Her jaw dropped as she read the little note that he had left. All of a sudden she was hit by an oncoming stranger and was knocked to the ground.

"Watch where you're going." The guy mumbled continuing to walk. She rubbed her head feeling a bump start to form.

With aching hands and stiff legs from signing hundreds of autographs and sitting at the panel far too long, Tom rose from his chair and headed backstage to meet up with Chris Hemsworth before they headed back to their hotel. Tom's hand fidgeted in his pocket against his phone, wondering to himself whether he'd be able to hear Aries' angelic voice again. And if he was going to he couldn't bear to miss her call.

She got up dusting herself off and quickly walking back to her apartment. Sitting down on the couch she took the poster out and looked at the number. "This must be a joke." She said laughing to herself. Taking her phone out she dialled the number not thinking it was actually going to be him.
