In the end

Chapter 13 - Wardrobe

We followed Liv down the rows of trailers until we reached one that said 'wardrobe' on the door. She held the door open and motioned for us to go inside before following us in shutting the door behind her. There was row upon row of clothing racks with names attached, Sam, Dean and Castiel were the names I could see. "So, what are you thinking, any ideas?" I was still looking around when I realized that she was speaking to me. "Oh um, not really, I haven't done this in years." She looked me up and down for a moment. "Hmmm. Jared you're going as Thor right?" He nodded. "Yeah and Jensen is Captain America and Misha is gonna be the Hulk, Misha somehow got all the Avengers costumes in one day." He said with a laugh. Liv face brightened a bit. "All of them?" She asked Jared. Oh no. I had a sick feeling I knew where this was going. I may not own a TV but I did go to the movies. She broke out wide grin and grabbed my hand. "You stay here." She said pointing at Jared and pulled me to the back of the trailer. We ducked behind a curtain that I assumed was for people to change behind and she pulled a tape measure and little notebook and pen out of nowhere. "Arms up" she commanded and started writing down my measurements. I was embarrassed to be standing there in my pajamas and blushed lightly. "Hey Jared, Misha's got all the costumes in his trailer will you please run and grab hers." "Sure but which one." He asked. She looked at me an rolled her eyes. "The only one for a girl sweetie." I looked over the curtain at him and watched as the realization slowly hit him. He broke out in a wide smile. "Nice." He said before quickly leaving the trailer.

Crap. Liv must have noticed my anxious expression because she gently squeezed my shoulder. "Hey don't worry honey you're gonna look great." I just couldn't picture myself be able to pull this off. "I dunno I mean that girl from the movie is insanely hot." She tilted her head to the side and smiled. "This is what I do sweetie, trust me you're going to look fabulous." I heard the door open and we both turned to see Jared walk in holding a garment bag. "Oooh gimme gimme." Liv was definitely more excited than me and not wanting to seem ungrateful I tried to be a little happier. Jared laughed and passed the garment bag over the curtain to Liv. "Thank you sweetie, now go sit." She looked at him sternly and he held his hands up in surrender. "Yes ma'am." She hung the costume on a hook and unzipped it while I stripped down the my underwear. I tried to push down the fact that I was almost naked with Jared sitting not ten feet from me. Liv held the costume up to me and smiled. "You know what, I don't even think I'll have to alter it. It was tight but I managed to wriggle into it and pull the up the zipper in the front. I felt super self conscious and was happy the mirrors were by the front of the trailer. "Wow." Liv whistled and looked me over, instructing me to turn slowly. "I knew it, it fits you perfectly." Jared stood up and motioned for Liv to open the curtain. I panicked slightly until she laughed. "Oh no, you don't get to see her in it until tomorrow." He made a pouty face and tried to look sad. "Forget it, those puppy dog eyes don't work on me remember." She turned to me and started talking excitedly. "Ok so the party starts at 9 so I want you hear at 7:30 for hair and makeup." I gaped at her. "We don't do things halfway around here." I pulled the front zipper down and she helped me squirm out of the layers of spandex. How was it twice as hard to get off than on?

Once I was dressed again I pulled the curtain back and we walked to where Jared was sitting and Liv pulled me into a hug. "Don't forget honey, tomorrow at 7:30 your ass better be here." I giggle and repeated Jared's words from earlier. "Yes ma'am and thank you so much." "Thanks Liv, I'll see you later." He said giving her a hug. We left the trailer and walked I across the street stopping in front of my steps.

"You look nervous." He said looking concerned. I let out little snort. "Yeah I'd say. It just had to be spandex." He just laughed dismissively. "I'm pretty sure you're gonna look perfect after Liv gets through with you, that woman's amazing." I shook my head in disbelief until he took a few steps closer to me. He was so close I could feel the heat radiating from his body. He reached out and took a hold of my chin and tilted my face up until I was looking at him. I heard his breath hitch in his throat and he swallowed nervously. I tried to keep my breathing even as he slowly brought his face to mine. He was so tall he had to bend over awkwardly and in any other situation a would have laughed. I closed my eyes,waiting for him to touch me. A few seconds passed and nothing happened so I opened my eyes to see him just staring at me. He seemed to realize himself and let out a sort of giggle/snort. I couldn't help but laugh at our weird-almost-touching awkward pose. He leaned in and softly kissed my cheek and I blushed furiously looking at my feet. "I guess I'll get going." He whispered. "Me too." "So I'll pick up around 8:45 or so." He said nodding his head towards the set. "Ok. I'll see you tomorrow. I'll be the one in spandex." Said rolling my eyes. "I can't wait." He said before his eyes popped open and his face went red. "Um-I mean..." I just laughed. "Calm down there Thor." He blushed harder and chuckled. We said goodnight and I headed upstairs feeling giddy.

I fell asleep thinking about spandex and trying to visualize Jared in a cape. That night I dreamt about being held tightly in someone's arms, flying through the sky.
