Game of Hearts || Hailee Steinfeld x Male Reader

Connecting

Y/N had no clue how he was meant to reply to that. His celebrity crush had messaged him, and idiot that he was, he left her on delivered for hours. After some internal deliberation, he responded.

Sorry bout the wait
And you are welcome 😁

He had completely overthought his response, and her reaction, if she'd give him one.

Y/N headed down to his local gym, to do his usual morning workout. It consisted of squats, RDLs, bench presses, barbell rows and military presses.

Midway through his military presses. He heard his phone go off. He finished off his fourth set, then checked his phone, seeing a message.

dw about it 😅
I also saw the interview after
beautiful huh?

••

Y/N was already sweating from his workout, but if he wasn't he would be now. He had been called out for his comments, and now he had to respond.

••

y/n_l/n
i mean

I'll say it again if you want
you're beautiful

He smirked at his response, hoping she'd appreciate the humour in it and not take it as him trying to make a move. He decided he would go home and shower before looking to see if she responded.

He stayed in the shower for a few minutes just thinking. He was a national champion, a projected first round pick and he was currently texting his celebrity crush. He wasn't sure how things could get much better right now.

He stepped out of the bathroom to the rest of his dorm room. "Hey, man." He jumped back at the sudden voice. "Jesus!" He then started walking into his kitchen. "What the hell are you doing here?" He asked Ja'Marr. He turned around. "Uh, well, Justin was talking about getting lunch, and we thought you'd like to go. Unless you already have plans with Hailee?"

He stopped in his tracks at that. He laughed nervously. "What?" Ja'Marr smirked at his reaction. "Oh, yeah, you're phone was out. Apparently you're making her blush though. You also got a compliment or two." He told him. "What do you mean?" He asked his friend. Ja'Marr picked up the phone and threw it at him, which Y/N luckily caught. "Jeez man, thanks for the warning." He said sarcastically before looking at the messages.

Y/N eyes widened at the message. Ja'Marr let out a laugh at his reaction. "She got you speechless, huh?" He teased him. Y/N began to panic. "Wha-What do I say?" He asked for help. Ja'Marr threw his hands up. "I don't know, man. Look, you doing fine on your own. Just keep doing that." He told him.

Y/N nodded while looking down at his phone. "Ok, ok, ok, ok. Yeah, I'm doing fine. Just keep calm." He said. "You're taking to yourself." Ja'Marr told him. Y/N snapped his head towards him, glaring at him. Ja'Marr raised his hands in defence.
