A/n
I'm running out of ideas and I think this is a good time to remind you that I'll gladly try and write down your requests (anonymously)! :D

Also, I'm having ideas for a new story, which I think I'll nearby start to write ;).

Do you know how much I've been loving to play hide and seek in my childhood?

I'm sure you have no idea! Just as much of no idea, as I had that my life would end up in some stupid hide and seek game.

You see, right now I'm sitting at home in my office and work on some of my new action clips from my last action trip. That's until I hear the front door open and not a minute later I see my girlfriend standing in my door.

Her smile is as bright as the candle on my desk, her eyes flicker with lust just like my candles' flames flicker. I sigh.

"You're home, how was you day?" I acknowledge her presence before I spin back around to continue my work.

Of course Lizzie is quick to walk up behind me and run her hands down my chest to my stomach and all the way back up to sling them sound my chest as her soft kisses trace my neck from behind. I can't help the hum that escapes my mouth.

"Mnh, not today." I mumble and lean forward to get out of my girlfriend's grip.

"Hey baby what's happening?" Lizzie asks in her sweet and worried voice. Soon I see her head peek out from behind me, now she's gently kissing my cheek. "Please?"

With another sigh I spin around to face Lizzie and cup her cheek. "Not today." I softly state, having an apologizing and warm smile on my face. My girlfriend however doesn't back away.

"Why's that? Are you on your period or?" Her eyes get shiny, while Lizzie slings her arms around my neck and scoots onto my lap. I hum and think for a moment, if I should just put up a little lie or... that wouldn't bring our relationship any further.

I tilt my head and look at my PC screen as I quietly speak, "well, I... I'm not on my period no. It's just..." I look back up at Lizzie and see the concern written all over her face. "...you know I enjoyed our pretty little hide and seek game, but lately I did less." I try to find words to not make it seem like I'm ungrateful that Lizzie tries to protect our privacy. But, knowing that no one knows who she's with or that Lizzie actually is with someone, is worse than risking some of our privacy or whatever.

Lizzie tilts her head, a small smile tugs on her lips as she softly speaks while caressing my cheek, "Hey, you know what we do this for. Don't you remember?" Her voice is too sweet and kind to ever go all mad on her.

Still I know that there's something holding her back from going public. Slowly but surely I get a feeling that this could be me.

"Sure, sure." I mumble as I breath out, trying to get rid of the weight on my chest.

"How about you finish your clip and I'll cook your favorite?" Lizzie inquires with some happier smile and kisses my cheek before she climbs off my lap. She walks towards the door and turns around, awaiting my excited answer since I love my favorite dish, especially when she cooks.

The weight on my chest lays down on my stomach too, so I shake my head and turn back around to face my PC screen. "I'm going to see a friend, we'll have dinner." I mumble before I put my headphones on.

Since there's no further disturbing, I assume that Lizzie went downstairs again to just sit and read one of her books.

After finishing my action clip, I get up and ready before going downstairs where I find Lizzie exactly with the book I assumed.

"I'm headed out now." I beam into the room with a smile. Lizzie turns to look at me, before she gets up and puts her hands onto my neck to leave me a sweet kiss.

"Are you coming back late?" She asks curiously as she steps a few steps back, but still remains somehow close to me.

"Well, don't wait for me if you can't. It's okay if you'll just go to sleep." I state reassuringly and nearby grab my keys. Without looking back twice, I head out.

At Buck's with Scarlett

"And she said nothing else?" Scarlett asks in disbelieve. I huff and nod.

"More correctly she asked if I don't remember why we're doing this hide and seek shit." I get the things off my chest, that I should be talking about with my girlfriend.

Scarlett just looks at me with pity, but soon her adorable smile reappears again. "This sounds like something that your Lizzie wouldn't do to you, but I got an idea."

This gets me curious, I tilt my head and look at Scarlett questioningly. "Huh?"

My friend however just chuckles and shakes her head. "You're too curious, aren't you?" I nod frantically, making us both have a fit of laughter. "Now tell me!" I demand with a little pout.

"Okay, okay." Scarlett raises her hands in surrender and chuckles still. "So, there seems to be something that makes Lizzie afraid to go public or at least it all seems so, right?" I hum and nod. "We should make her realize that there's nothing to be afraid of." Scarlett states finally and my face goes all confused, irritated even.

Scarlett laughs and hits my shoulder not so softly, "Y/n/n, that's your part to jump in and excitedly ask 'how!?'." She demands and I just hum before I quietly ask "How?"

"Uh-uh, try again." Scarlett demands with a mischievous grin. I sigh and put on some excitement as I repeat my "How!?" Which makes my friend smile proudly.

Scarlett straightens herself and lays her hands onto the table. She slightly leans in, remaining in her upright position still. "Well," she clears her throat, her face is all serious. "if there's something to be afraid of, it's probably the whole coming out thing." I nod and get more curious about what's to come. I lean onto the table.

"Here it comes, you'll do one of your great livestreams and point this whole 'coming out' topic out and put in some 'what if's." Scarlett smirks and tabs her fingertips onto another. I grunt at her antics but nod.

"And how do you expect this to make Lizzie feel better to come out?" I ask confused.

Scarlett palms her forehead with a loud clap and rolls her eyes before she speaks extra slow for me, "Lizzie watches every of your livestreams, which makes her also watch this one, which makes her see your fans and people's reactions, which makes her see the good in the whole coming out, because she's gonna see all the support you'll get."

There's this silence in between Scarlett and I, that always comes up after she brought one of her ...genius... ideas. This silence that I break with only a light bulb moment of mine. "Ahh!"

After Scarlett came down from a fit of laughter, we both go on and plan the livestream, find a perfect date so Lizzie could watch it and we even prepare something for me to get the topic rolling without becoming too suspicious for Lizzie.
