The Future

Nicknames pt. 2

"Bug, you got everything?"

I powdered Jeremy Michael Lewis, stepping back to look at him. "Who's bug?" He asked.

"No idea," I replied, stepping behind him to run my fingers through his hair. "Feel like Jensen Moore yet?"

He smiled, nodded. "Yeah, I do actually. I'm glad Bonnie let me bring my own costume for the Halloween scene."

"Oh, it helps a lot, she was relieved," I replied, smiling. "Plus, it's pretty hot."

He laughed, smiling widely.

"Bug!"

I turned to see Avi running towards me, furrowing my eyebrows. "Are you talking to me?" I asked.

He nodded, shrugging. "I thought it was fun. No?"

I shook my head as Jeremy laughed. "No, not really."

Avi sighed, looking almost sad his nickname wasn't good enough. "Okay. Are you good, though? You need anything?"

"I'm great," I replied. "I'm about to grab Kirstie actually."

"Let me get her," Avi said, before running through the crowd.

"What was that?" Jeremy asked.
Sighing, I told her, "Scott, Kirstin, and Avi have decided that because I came up with a nickname for Kirstin and Scott, I need a nickname."

"Oh, Bug was cute!" He cried, smiling.
I shook my head. "It's not really me."

"True," he agreed. "I'm excited to see what they come up with."

I sighed, groaning. "Oh, not you too. David's joined them already."

"David's joined who already?"

We both looked up to see Kirstin moving towards us. "David's joined you, Scott and Avi in your hunt for a nickname for me," I stated as Jeremy stood. "No sit."

Scott chuckled, sitting in the chair. "Thanks, Mitch!" Jeremy called, before moving towards David.

"So how does Grace sound?" Kirstin asked as you wet her hair, running my comb through it.

"Grace?" I asked, looking at her. "How is that a nickname?"

"It's from a rhyme I heard today!" Kirstin cried. "She is beauty, she is grace, she will punch you in the face."
I laughed, shaking my head. "I will take the compliment, but no."

"Damn," she cursed softly, making me laugh.

I moved through the crew, padding softly as Kirstin and Jeremy filmed the bar scene. Finding Scott near David and Avi, I tapped his shoulder. He looked back at me, and I nodded back towards my trailer. He nodded, following me back to the trailer.

His scene with Kirstin in the apartment was next, so I had to get him ready now, then rush to Kirstin.

We both stepped into the trailer, Scott shutting the door before sliding into the chair. "Ready for this?" I asked.

"More than ready," he replied, smiling as I combed his hair before grabbing the soft gel. "Kirstin said you shot down 'Grace' for a nickname."

"Of course I did," I replied, rolling my eyes. "It's a very nice rhyme, but I personally don't think it fits."

"Well what were you thinking?" he asked.

Sighing, I paused, looking at him in the mirror. "I've never really had a nickname before," I explained. "My parents call me sweetheart, but that's as far as it's gone really."
