Harry, Seb and I decided to order in and have dinner together. It wasn't out of the ordinary, we did this a lot. Sebastian and I ended up getting into a discussion about what's said about him online, mainly about the Soho girl, who was apparently me.  That's what people on social media called me anyway.  The ones who were supposedly his fans.  Most of the time they seemed respectful.  There were some though that were a bit intrusive in his personal life.  These were also the ones who didn't seem to like me.

He said he heard I was also called Chris' girl.

"Well, I'm actually nobody's girl, so it doesn't matter. I'm just me."

"Awe. That's not true. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"So I'm guessing I've been spotted with Chris too if that's being said?"

"I guess. Sometimes I don't even know how things get spun down out of control. It's always best to just let it be and not respond or confirm or deny. I mean, I can't live in a bubble and never be seen with my friends."

"No, I agree. It's just, what if I'm married one day and we're seen together. Will people still say things?"

"Probably."

Harry looked up, interjecting. "Especially if you guys are married to each other. Then it wouldn't be gossip, it would just be reality."

I laughed and ran with Harry's comment. "Or, if I'm married to Chris, could you imagine the things said then? I'd be the talk of the whole Marvel fan base."

Out of nowhere Sebastian changed the subject. He asked if I could work from home for a few weeks because he took on a last minute role that was offered to him in Scotland.  "What does that have to do with working from home?  I can talk to you after we are both done working."

"Well, not necessarily working from home, but maybe remotely, so you could come with me."

"Scotland? You want me to drop everything and go to Scotland with you?  That's a bit odd."

"Yeah. I know you can do it because I already asked your boss."

"You asked who, what now?"

He laughed. "I'm sorry! I was desperate! I rarely go that far for work without someone coming with me. I get too anxious and Ethan is the one that's gone with me in the past when it's far but he has the baby now, and even if he could go, I really just want you to go. It's only for two weeks because it's a small role and they're going to film all of my parts back to back even though it's going to be throughout the movie. Just say yes."

"And how are you going to get us past all the people we just talked about who like to take pictures of you and SoHo girl and then run with it?"

"Well, if it makes you feel better, I'll just say you're my PA if anything needs to be addressed.

"Sebby..."

"It's so easy. One little word. Three letters. Did I mention I already have the second seat on the flight? How many people get a free trip to Scotland?"

He made me giggle. "I can't believe you've already got everything planned out. Work, tickets, ... where am I sleeping?"

"I figured you'd stay with me, of course."

Harry chimed in with a matter of fact tone and a chuckle. "Of course Y/N, I mean, where else would you stay?  That's such a silly question because you already have been nicknamed by his fans, and the two of you are together all the time.  Even though you moved here because of work and little ole me.  Now, people would think you're the ones who've known each other your whole lives.  The two of you really should listen to yourselves sometimes."
