I told you so - Chris Evans x Reader

Warnings: Fluff! Language!

Relaxing in bed, Dodger curled up beside you, you smiled when you heard the sound of Chris FaceTime'ing you. As soon as the call connected you were greeted with his warm but tired smile.

"Hey sweetheart how are you?" You smiled.

"Tired, jet lag is a bitch but I'm happy to see you" he smiles, stifling a yawn.

"Are you having fun though?" You ask him.

"Yeah lots, I'm doing interviews with Ana still and you know she's fun, and you know it's a movie I do want to promote, it could be worse, could be stuck with people I don't like, promoting a movie that I didn't enjoy making," Chris says shrugging his shoulders before smiling gently "that being said I would rather be at home with you"

You smiled back at him "me too, that hotel bed does look comfy though"

"Oh it is" Chris chuckles wiggling himself back into the plush pillows "it was an outrage that I only got a few hours sleep last night"

"What time did you have to get up this morning?" You ask him.

"At like 4:30 am so we could pre-record the radio interview, I'm pretty sure I nearly fell asleep at least twice," Chris says making you laugh.

"And all the questions are nice? Nothing coming back to bite you in the ass?" You ask trying not to smirk since you already knew the answer.

Chris groaned dropping his head back against his pillow "You know exactly what's biting me in the ass right now" he groans.

"I think it's sweet that so many people are invested in your happiness," you tell him.

He lets out a long sigh finally looking back at you "yeah I guess, I just didn't expect it to blow up like it did" Chris shrugs "like we get so many boring questions and this question was a good one so I wanted to give them a good answer in the hopes that it would spur on more good questions" he sighs

"I get it, like training a puppy, you reward good behaviour," you say nodding your head.

"Exactly! Except it backfired and now it's the only thing I get asked about" Chris groans "and it wasn't even an honest answer! Like I wanted to say how I was laser focused on building something with you but we're not public yet and it was the next best thing to say and urgh! Just wish I kept my mouth shut"

You give him a sympathetic smile, which makes the worry lines on his face disappear "you can say I told you so now" he sighed.

You gasp laughing "I wasn't going to!" You exclaim.

"Yes you were," Chris says pointing at you "that night when I told you about it you said and I quote 'aren't you worried that it could blow up?' And I said nah it probably won't but it did so you were right"

"Doesn't mean I wanted to be right" you point out.

"I guess so" Chris sighs his shoulders slumping slightly.

"It isn't stressing you out, is it? Because if you're worried about it bothering me it really doesn't" you tell him.

He gives you a small lopsided smile "no not really, hopefully after the radio interview people will move on it's just frustrating that's all" he says shaking his head gently.

"I know, but look just focus on the positives: the press tour is nearly done and you had a great time with Ana, and the internet is even more in love with you," you tell him gently.

A lopsided grin grew on his face "you forgot one thing, I'm nearly back home to you" he smiles.

"I know, but I didn't wanna seem big-headed" you smirk shrugging your shoulders.

Chris laughs before failing to hold back a loud yawn.

"You should probably get some rest sweetheart, you look exhausted," you tell him softly.

"No I'm good, I wanna speak with you more, tell me about your day" Chris yawns shaking his head.

"Okay fine but I promise I won't be offended if you fall asleep," you tell him.

"Not gonna happen" Chris states.

You roll your eyes playfully before beginning to recount your day. You made sure to go into every boring little detail, dragging out the story wherever you could. You could see Chris fighting to stay awake meaning your plan was working. Soon enough Chris was fast asleep, his mouth hanging open as he lightly snored.

You smiled to yourself just watching him for a moment before whispering a goodnight and ending the call.
