Zac Efron one shots

Imagine #5 - An Interview on Ellen

"Good evening!" Ellen DeGeneres greeted the audience and was met with loud cheers. "We've got an exciting show tonight! We have (y/n) and Zac Efron!" From behind the set you were watching the audience's reactions, the claps and cheers you received were positive but didn't compare to the screaming Zac received. You rolled your eyes and laughed.

"(y/n), new plan. You're going out first and doing your interview but instead of you leaving the set you're going to stay out there while Zac is having his interview," one of the stagehands told you as he put a microphone on you. Your face must've expressed how confused you felt because the guy laughed at you. "Chill, it's not for any particular reason. Ellen just wants to do things different today." While what he was saying was comforting, there was a look in his eye that told you he wasn't being entirely truthful. As if you weren't nervous enough about this interview, your first ever on Ellen's show, now you were doing a joint interview with Zac freaking Efron?! Not only that but Ellen clearly had something up her sleeve, you'd seen her interviews before, you knew what she was like. After your interview you had a dozen other interviews to get through so the chances of you meeting Zac were very slim and you couldn't help but wonder why Ellen wanted you two to meet.

"Alright, it's time to welcome our first guest," you heard Ellen say. "Please welcome...(y/n)!" The cheers and claps made you feel only more nervous but you walked out confidently, waving and smiling. "It's so good to finally have you here."

"Thanks!" you respond. "I'm so excited and incredibly nervous to be here." Ellen and the audience laughed, which settles your nerves. For the next 10 minutes, Ellen asks you about your new movie, how you got into acting and shows some really embarrassing photos. From where you're sat you can see Zac, hovering about in the wings of the set, watching.

"Now, we're doing things a little different tonight. We're going to talk to Zac AND (y/n) at the same time. How about that?!" The audience erupted at Ellen's idea and the cheers took ages to settle down. "Okay then, get ready to welcome Mr Zac Efron!" On Ellen's cue, he emerged from the side of the set, laughing embarrassedly at the screaming girls. This was the first time you'd ever seen him in person and, damn, he was gorgeous. Suddenly realising you were staring, you shook your head and laughed along with Ellen at the screaming. You didn't fancy getting filmed drooling over him.

"It's so good to see you!" Zac exclaims, squeezing Ellen into a hug. When he was done, he turned to you, studying your face with a cute smile and a slight blush before pulling you into a hug as well. "And it's great to finally meet you!" You had thought all his muscle was photo-shopped, but boy were you wrong, you could feel every last one of them through his tight shirt. As you pulled away and sat down, you noticed Zac's face was as red as yours felt. The embarrassment quickly wore off however as Ellen began her interview about Zac's newest film, also showing embarrassing photos of him as she had with you.

"So, you guys, what's the dating scene looking like for you both?" Ellen cheekily asked. For some reason she was the only interviewer who was ballsy enough to ask about this awkward topic so matter of fact and get away with it. You both looked at each other awkwardly to see who would answer first.

"Ladies first," Zac said gesturing towards you.

"Gee, thanks," you laughed. "I am currently single, Ellen, have been for a while." A few whistles came from the audience, making you, Zac and Ellen laugh.

"Interesting," was Ellen's response, making you more suspicious of her intentions. "And Zac?"

"I am also single," said Zac, screams erupting from the audience.

"Well...I can't be the only one thinking how cute you guys look together, can I?" Ellen asked the audience. Laughing at the screeching from the audience and Ellen's boldness, you turned to look at Zac expecting to see him laughing too. But he wasn't, instead he was painfully red. When he saw you looking, he forced out a laugh trying to play off his embarrassment.

"I would be the luckiest man alive to have a girlfriend half as talented and beautiful as (y/n)," Zac responded, eliciting loud 'awhs' and squeals from the crowd. His comment had left you speechless and red-faced but smiling nonetheless.

"Anyone would think you've got a crush on (y/n), Zac!" Ellen laughed. He never denied it, only looked at you and smiled. Ellen moved the interview on, bringing up High School Musical. You couldn't help but feel all jittery inside, had he actually just said that? You thought he'd be a typical pretty boy but he seemed to be sweet, funny and unbelievably modest for someone so hot.

Soon enough the interview was over and as all 3 of you stood up to head backstage. Before you could thank Ellen for having you on her show, Zac was leaning towards you.

"Um...uh, I do," he whispered to you.

"You do what?" you asked, confused.

"Have a crush on you," he continued to whisper. You were speechless again. Zac Efron, Zac fucking Efron just said he had a crush on you. Were you dreaming? "I asked Ellen to interview us together so I could meet you. I was hoping maybe I could get your number?" Ah, so that was the reason for the sudden change to the interviewing schedule. He was looking down, not wanting to see your reaction in case it was bad. You responded by kissing him on the cheek and grinning at him when his eyes met yours.

"This could be the start of something new," you said, winking at him. He rolled his eyes dramatically and burst out laughing, pulling you off the set.
