real life; your pov

"people seem really hyped after we finally revealed some of the actors for the new season." walker scrolled through his phone. you smiled, "right?! dude, so many people have actually bribed me to reveal who's playing thalia."

"wow, imagine not taking the bribe."

"imagine falling for it."

the blond chuckled, biting into his donut before turning his phone off. "y'know, leah told me something funny about you yesterday."

your heart jumped to your throat as a sudden wave of anxiety washed over you. "what." you meant to ask, but it came out more like a statement. had leah told him about the weird feelings you were getting? is that why walker had asked you on this friendly outing?

"she said you thought i was ugly?" 

the throbbing in your chest slowly settled as you searched for words. you were an actor, so of course is was easy to act casual. "oh yeah. you found that funny? i was being serious."

he deadpanned, turning his head slightly to the side to side eye you. "i found it hilarious. c'mon! me? ugly?!"

you rolled your eyes, a smirk plastered on your face, "you're so self absorbed."

"well, you're way too humble."

"humility's a bad thing?" you cocked a brow.

"in the scobell family, yeah."

you laughed, causing a domino effect on walker, making him break character. you took a sip from your drink, "so why'd you treat me to donuts, goldie?"

he scoffed at the nickname, "i dunno. just for fun."

but it wasn't really for fun. 

in fact, leah had told him something the other day, but it wasn't about what you had told her. she asked walker a question about you which really made him question his own feelings.

he remembered what she said to him. 

"you and (y/n) got real close, huh?" leah smirked. walker shrugged.

"did we? i didn't notice."

"you're dunce."

"you're dumb."

she shook her head. "but seriously, what do you think about her?"

walker pursed his lips. "about who?"

"(y/n)! gosh, is your brain even in there?" she knocked on his head as he protested.

"what's with the random question??"

"...for data. duh."

he scratched his head. "(y/n)? uhh.. she can be annoying. but like, funny annoying, y'know? i like her sense of humor. that's pretty much it. did you ask her the same question but about me?"

"oh yeah, she said you're ugly."

"OKAY DAMN."

"yep... for fun." walker shrugged. he chuckled at the memory, remembering it like it was just yesterday (it was).

you squinted your eyes at him, "mmhm. fishy."

"i swear!! there's no strings attached!!"

you made a yapping hand gesture at his remarks before picking up the last bite of your donut. but before it could reach your mouth, walker ate it right from your hand. your eyes widened, "you did not just.. i KNOW you did not just-"

he spoke gibberish through his full mouth. this left you flustered the rest of the day.
