is this real? Milly and Matt #HouseoftheDragon

how the world might see us... (matt's pov)

As soon as we left the restaurant we got ambushed by paparazzi while coming out holding hands and laughing and they were so obvious because of the noises and camara flashes, while we were inside we had a private moment and people took pictures of us kissing; like, I've dealt with this a few times before but is never easy to have random people taking pictures of private moments and posting them online and more if they take advantage of this and get paid to do this shitty things. I have dealt with his but Milly hasn't and I noticed she got nervous but she hold my hand harder and we kept going and left on her car and thankfully no one followed us to her home.

"God, I hate this, we just wanted a fun night out and now our pictures might get online, and our families might find out about us this way" - she holds my hand while she drives us back home and her phone start ringing, and we look at each other.

"Do you want me to see who is calling?" – I asked and she nods – "yes please."

I look at who is calling at this hour and I see it's her brother Eddy who I haven't met personally, only know what Milly has told me about everyone in her family and friends.

"It's Eddy" – I said, and her expressions change from one to another – "oh shit, it's probably about this and our pictures might already be out. Can you please answer and put it on speaker?" – "okay, but please try to stay calm, ok? I'm here with you."

She says yes with her head and looks at me while starts talking.

"Hi Eddy, what's up and why are you calling me at this hour? this isn't like you, bro" – "mills what the heck did I just saw online?" – he says and milly freezes for a second before talking back at him.

"Hello sister, I am fine, thank you. I have no idea what you are talking about Edds, so tell me" – "sorry, it's just I'm in shock by what I just saw. I was online after work searching for something and see an article with a picture of you and your castmate from the dragon show and almost ignored since I thought it was an older photo from where you were on set but the headline says: Matt Smith might have a thing with another one of his costars and despite the huge age difference, the bachelor man is no more" – what the fuck? We both looked at each other.

"What the fuck? are you serious Eddy?" – she says and I hold her hand tighter - "that's what it says here and I just clicked because of the picture and recognized your hair and the place you guys were just in because hello, I go there all the time" – milly laughs uncomfortably in her seat.

"Oh, dear lord, bro stop being Nancy Drew and ignore this please" – she says and it's hard to hold in my laugh – "you have some explaining to do, you know that right? Mum might hear about this soon enough maybe tomorrow at work. These pictures are now everywhere."

"All I can tell you is this is my life Eddy and I'm happy. I'll tell you and mum everything at my own time. Is our secret for now. We'll deal with this later not now. And please stop searching for this. Thank you for calling and we will talk soon, okay?" – she says calmer but internally freaking out.

"Fine. But please take care of yourself and you better have your story right when I see you. Bye." - oh fuck, we are so screwed.

"Hey stop it. Yes, this is bad but because they took photos we didn't agreed to be taken and just because they see this and they think they know everything, they couldn't be more wrong. And we have to make this right and call our mums, and then talk with our teams and shit, by tomorrow morning they will all know and just because of stupid photos."

"We should have been more careful, but I was just thanking you for what you said to me, and those idiots were there to catch it. I just don't get why they have to be that fucking obvious that they're being assholes".
