Solangelo One-Shot Collection

🏳️‍🌈Off Screen(1/2)🏳️‍🌈

(Movie/TV star AU! Will Solace is a teen star in many shows and movies, a teen classic heartthrob type. Plenty of girls and guys are always fawning over him. Nico plays small roles, usually background or one off characters. He gets cast in a small role in Will's new movie. I tried to keep the movie descriptions general so if it parallels a movie irl it's unintentional. Just putting this here to be safe.)

~Will POV~

I've got too much energy right now to sit in my dressing room. To pass the time until my next scene, I watched other scenes get prepped and filmed. Currently they're filming a lab scene. Actors wandered the background in white coats, trying to get to their marks. Two actors stood front and center. One is my co-star and the other...I don't recognize her. A cute black haired girl, maybe a year younger than me. Her hair was held in a bun and a pair of glasses balanced on her nose.

"Action!" The director shouted.

"What do you mean something went wrong?" My co-star asked.

"Well...you see...the test subject...escaped?" The girl said, nervously.

Oh, wait, that's a guy, I'm dumb. He just looks feminine I guess. He's still very cute though.

"Escaped?!" My co-star shouted.

"Mhm..." The boy nodded.

The scene kept going. I watched the boy and my co-star go back and forth. The director shouted cut then started talking with the camera man.

"Take it again from the top! This time McLean, you need sound angrier." The director said. "You have to be pissed your scientists let the hero escape."

That's my role. The hero who the villain accidentally created from one of his test subjects.

"Got it, director." Tristan replied.

"Di Angelo, more nervous energy. Pretend your life is on the line." The director said.

The boy nodded.

"Take it from the top!" The director shouted.

{A Few Hours Later}

Filming finished for the day; everyone's packing up their personal things or talking to other actors.

I spotted Tristan talking to the boy from earlier, Di Angelo I think the director called him. The boy said something I couldn't hear. My overwhelming curiosity getting the better of me, I walked over to them.

"I watched your scenes, you two did really well." I said. "If I didn't know you were acting, I'd have been convinced your emotions were real on set."

Wide-eyed, the boy stared at me. I got a better look at him. His hair was down and hung half way to his shoulders, he didn't wear glasses, he dressed in dark colors and an aviator jacket, a chain for a belt, skinny jeans ripped at the knees, and his eyes were a dark brown I could've gotten lost in.

"Thanks, Will." Tristan replied, snapping me back. "I don't think you two have met yet. Will, this is Nico Di Angelo. Nico, you already know who Will is?"

The boy nodded.

"It's nice to meet you, Nico." I said, reaching my hand out.

Hesitantly, he shook my hand.

"It's nice to meet you too, Will." He replied, almost inaudibly.

I noticed an accent as he talked.

"You have an accent." I noted. "Where are you from?"

That was stupid to say. Just don't speak, Will. You'll only say something embarrassing.

"Italy." He replied.
