billie eilish one shots

sydney

the screen of your phone is blurred by the tears welling in your eyes. you try to blink them away, not wanting to cry in front of billie, but it's no use. she's looking at you from the other side of the facetime call, her blue eyes filled with concern.

"i just miss you so much," you whisper, your voice trembling. "it's been so hard being here without you, billie. i know we said we could handle the distance, but... i don't know."

billie's face softens, her hand coming up as if to reach through the screen and comfort you. "i miss you too, baby. every single day. i hate that i can't be there with you right now."

the time zones, the endless workdays, the late nights—it all feels like too much. you've been in australia for months, filming on location for a new movie, and while billie has been supportive, the separation has taken its toll.

you wipe at your cheeks, sniffling. "i just want to be with you. i don't care about the distance, or the schedules. i just want you."

billie's lips press into a thin line as she watches you, her heart clearly breaking. after a moment, she smiles gently. "hey, it's okay. we're gonna get through this, y/n. i promise."

you nod, though your chest still aches. "i know. i just wish it didn't hurt so much."

"i know, baby. but listen—i gotta go for a bit, okay? just... hang in there for me."

you frown, confused. "go? where?"

she hesitates for just a second before smiling again. "just some stuff i need to handle. i'll call you later, okay? i love you."

before you can say much more, she ends the call, leaving you staring at the blank screen. a part of you feels worse—like you've pushed her away with your sadness. but another part wonders if maybe she's planning something.

billie's heart races as she pulls up her travel app. she's been thinking about surprising you for weeks, but hearing the sadness in your voice tonight made the decision for her.

"no more waiting," she murmurs to herself.

she books the earliest flight from los angeles to sydney, grabs a duffel bag, and starts throwing things in it. it's a rush, but she doesn't care. she can't stand the thought of you crying alone on the other side of the world.

by the time she's at the airport, the exhaustion from the last-minute scramble is setting in. but she doesn't let it deter her. as the plane takes off, billie looks out the window and smiles to herself.

"hang tight, y/n," she whispers. "i'm coming."

meanwhile, you're pacing your trailer on set, clutching your phone. you've texted billie three times since this morning, and each one has gone unanswered.

good morning, baby! hope you slept well.
are you okay? i miss you.
call me when you can?

nothing. not even a "delivered" status. anxiety gnaws at you, but you tell yourself it's probably her busy schedule. still, the lack of contact feels unbearable.

by the time lunch rolls around, you're practically glued to your phone. you try to focus on work, but the worry lingers.

billie steps off the plane, jet-lagged but determined. she grabs her luggage and heads straight to a car she's already pre-booked. she gives the driver the address of your set, fidgeting in her seat as she watches the city blur by.

when she finally arrives, she checks in with the production assistant at the gate, explaining her reason for being there. they guide her to your trailer, keeping her presence a secret, just as she asked.

you're slumped on the small couch in your trailer, scrolling through your phone aimlessly. you're trying to shake off the gnawing loneliness when there's a knock on the door.

"come in," you call, expecting one of the crew.

the door creaks open, and when you glance up, your heart stops.

"hey," billie says softly, standing in the doorway with her duffel bag slung over her shoulder, her blue eyes sparkling with exhaustion and love.

for a moment, you just stare at her, convinced your mind is playing tricks on you. "billie?"

she drops her bag, crossing the room in a few strides to wrap you in a tight embrace. her arms are warm, grounding, and all at once, the ache in your chest melts away.

"i missed you so much," she whispers against your hair, holding you like she never wants to let go.

you pull back just enough to look at her, your hands trembling as they cup her face. "you're really here?"

"i'm really here," she says, smiling softly. "i couldn't stand being apart anymore. i needed to see you."

tears fill your eyes again, but this time, they're tears of relief. you bury your face in her shoulder, clinging to her as if she might disappear.

the rest of the day feels like a dream. billie stays by your side, holding your hand between takes, sitting with you during breaks, and catching up on everything you've been feeling.

by the time the sun sets, you're back in your trailer, curled up together on the small couch. billie runs her fingers through your hair, her presence like a balm to your soul.

"i can't believe you did this," you murmur, your head resting against her chest.

"i'd do anything for you," she replies simply.

you smile, closing your eyes as her fingers trace soothing patterns on your back. for the first time in weeks, you feel whole again. the distance doesn't matter anymore—she's here, and that's all that counts.

"i love you," you whisper.

"i love you too," she says, kissing your forehead. "now and always."
