I'm Not Here For You - Aidan Gallagher x reader [DISCONTINUED FOR NOW]

Flashback - Happy Birthday Asshole

(3rd person POV) 

(September eighteenth; two weeks before filming)

y/n knocked on Aidan's door, the other cast members hiding to surprise him. Aidan opened the door to see his newly appointed best friend - y/n l/n.

"Hey, n/n. Whatcha doin' out here?" Aidan asks as y/n pushes a box into his hands.

"Happy birthday, asshole!" y/n says cheerfully, unable to stop smiling.

"SURPRISE!" Rob yelled and jumped up from behind a pot-plant. The other cast members emerged from their hiding places, including Alexandra. 

"Thanks guys! But why'd you all come?"

"I'm not here for you." Alexandra mutters under her breath. Thankfully, Aidan didn't hear her. 

"n/n here made us all wake up early so we could get the cake as a collective and bring  to you. I don't know why we all had to go but at least Tom and Emmy picked the music."

"No one likes 'Smooth Operator'." 

"Thank you so much, n/n!" Aidan says, picking y/n up to giving her a hug. y/n tensed up and clung on to Aidan like a koala, distress written on her face. 

"Aidan, put me down." y/n whispered fearfully in Aidan's ear.

"Shit, are you crying?" Aidan immediately put y/n down. 

"Happy birthday, asshole." y/n said one more time, trying not to cry before she ran to her and Justin's shared rooms and slammed the door. 

"Did I do something wrong?" Aidan asked the cast. Elliot walked over to Aidan.

"I'm guessing she didn't tell you?" Aidan shook his head no and Elliot sighed.

"Well, it's quite a story..."

Flashback: 2008

"Daddy!" Six-year-old y/n ran down the stairs to greet her dad, who had just returned home from a deployment. y/n's dad rushed to hug her, picking her up in the process. y/n's dad walked halfway up the staircase, pausing after remembering something.

"Wait here sweetheart, okay?" y/n nodded at her dad as he placed her on the banister. y/n hummed a song she'd heard on the radio, swinging her feet. y/n lost her balance on the banister, falling backwards about four feet. She broke her right ankle and cracked a bone in her left wrist.

End Flashback

"y/n spent six months in a moon boot, thanks to her father. I think it's the trauma that gets to her." Elliot explained. 

"Oh man, y/n's not gonna like the script changes." At that exact moment, y/n stormed out of her and Justin's room, holding the script for episode two.

"Have you read these changes? I can't do that!" y/n whisper-yells at Justin, shoving the script in his face.

Episode two: Scene seven

*Five walks into hotel bar, approaches Ryan, Klaus, Luther and Diego* 

Five: Well, I'm taking a nap. Wake me up if one of you morons dies or breaks some shit. Otherwise leave me alone.

*Ryan's reads Five's mind. He plans on lying in bed, remembering about the last time he and her spoke.* *Flashback to Aidan and Amara's scene - split screen*

Ryan: Ha, you're lying.

Five: You read my mind again, didn't you?

Ryan: Don't worry Fivey, it's not like I'm gonna tell these idiot you plan on re-living memories of the times we spoke through the timelines as kids.

Luther: What the hell, Five, when did you do that?

Five: Irrelevant.

*Five spacial jumps to empty hotel room. Ryan mimics Five's jump, sitting on the un-made bed.*

Five: Why did you follow me?

Ryan: You know why.

*Ryan and Five stare into each other's eyes. Ryan's eyes flick downwards for less than a second. Ryan launches herself at Five, kiss. Five picks Ryan up and pushes her against the wall.*

Fei: Sorry to interrupt but Ben wants to see you. Both of you. You can continue this later.

"What's your problem?" Justin asks y/n. y/n points specifically at the last paragraph. 

"Justin, you know I cannot be picked up unless it's you for less than seven seconds." y/n stares at Justin immensely. Aidan walks up to y/n, placing his hand on her shoulder.

"We'll do it together, okay?"

"Yeah, together."
