Behind the Curtain | Wilbur x Reader (Platonic)

Act 2, Scene 1

"I know that the night must end, and that the sun will rise." Endless Night, Lion King

In honor of Technoblade, I shall keep writing about him, his memory forever in all our hearts. A Techno chapter shall be coming soon.

You were in England at the moment because your job as a forgotten actress brought you there. You were often given many free vacation opportunities during musical tours because you were forgotten, just brought along to do a job anyone could have done. Standing in the shadows, singing, but not heard or seen.

So you were used to free vacations by now and went off to wander, taking note of where the hotel you were assigned to was.

But today you saw a familiar face. Tommy Innit.

Of course, he wouldn't have recognized you, but you definitely recognized him, snapping a discreet picture of him before walking away and then sending the picture to a group chat.

You sighed, feeling the nerves build up within you, scrolling through your contacts before hitting the call button.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sean, are you recording?"

"I mean, yeah, you need something?"

"N-no! It's okay I'll just call Corpse instead, it's fine, sorry to bother, bye."

Before Jack could respond, you hung up, calling Corpse straight after.

"Y/n?"

"I could potentially be meeting people today and I'm scared. Are you busy right now? I can call later I'm sorry-"

"Y/n you're rambling, slow down. Take a deep breath with me." Corpse slowly breathed in and out and waited patiently for your breaths to match with his.

"You are going to be fine," Corpse comforted, "And it doesn't matter if they don't like how you look or sound, you know why?"

"...why?"

"Because you know that I, your family and Jack love you for you, and if they can't see that then they're dumb idiots."

They both stayed on call in silence until you let out a smile, "Thanks Corpse."

"Anytime Y/n. Me and Jack are here for you okay? Even if we're recording. Jack just texted me asking if you were alright."

"I didn't mean to bother-"

"You never bother us Y/n, you barely use the call function of a phone unless it's Discord so you can be sure we'll try our best to pick up whenever you call."

"Thank you, to both of you. Tell Sean I'm okay. I'm going to do this now. Bye Corpse."

You took a deep breath, returning to the group chat and aiming your camera.

U/n sent a pic
U/n: Good luck
