Hayes Grier

((request: can you do one where you're job shadowing a reporter so you meet Hayes on DWTS?))

Hayes Grier. the boy that has been all the rage lately around the office. you got an internship at ABC and you were currently working on Dancing with the Stars. and all you heard, was about Team Slayes and how Hayes could make it all the way.

you were intrigued by Hayes. he was fifteen. great hair. great eyes. could dance really well. to say the least, you really wanted to meet him.

tonight, you had to do the after performance interviews and you finally would.

you interview pairing after pairing until the one you actually care about. Team Slayes. or more importantly, Hayes Grier.

"Emma. Hayes hi. great job on your dance tonight. " you say smoothly. even though you were exploding on the inside, you knew how to carry yourself.

"wow hi." he says surprised. "you are..?" he asks with a huge smile.

"wow." you comment under your breathe. "um, my name is Y/N. you two did wonderful tonight. any thoughts on your performance?"

"you know, i think that every week Hayes gets even better and even more comfortable on stage and i wouldn't be surprised if he helped get us all the way." Emma cuts in.

"yeah uh. like she said, i get a little more comfortable on stage. i mean, performing wasn't ever really my thing until Nash got me into it but uh i guess there's one thing i can't be comfortable with just yet." he adds.

"and what is that?" you ask with a slight smile.

"being around you." he smiles nervously.

"Y/N?" Tom says in your earpiece. "are you gonna send them to see their scores?"

"um. same." you add and brush your hair behind your ear. "i think it's time to hear your scores." you say with a slight stutter.

Hayes scoots closer to you and tugs slightly on your hand. you look over at him and he smiles. "wanna go to lunch tomorrow?" he mouths to you.

"yeah. i do." you mouth back and smile.

his fingers lace through yours and you lean slightly into him. after their scores are announced, all eights and a nine, he pulls you into a hug with one arm as Emma hugs him from the other side.

"congratulations Team Slayes. don't forget to vote for them to keep the around." you smile at him as the camera cuts out.
