Evan Peters Drabbles

Prompt #14 (Evan Peters x Reader)

"Hey, I'm with you, okay? Always."

-----------------------------------------------------

"I can't do this," Evan said to you, looking at you worriedly. This was his first red carpet event & he was nervous as Hell. He was used to having minor roles in movies & shows, so he usually didn't make a lot of appearances or do a lot of interviews; however, since he was casted for American Horror Story & played one of the most important & prominent characters in the show (Tate Langdon), he had to make a red carpet appearance & man, was it big.

He was very awkward around people in general, but having to deal with so many people at once was mind-boggling & frightening to him. You had never seen him so nervous before, so you volunteered to come with him to help ease his tension. Since you were both dating, it would seem completely normal that he would take you to the premiere & no one would suspect it was really because he was so scared.

You adjusted his tie for him, kissing his cheek gently, "Hey, yes you can do this. It's just a silly red carpet event where a couple reporters will interview you & then we'll go inside & watch the show. No big deal," you reassured him, but he still didn't look convinced. You smoothed out his suit jacket & dress shirt, fixing his hair a little before smiling, "You look quite dashing, Mr. Peters," you said in a funny accent in an attempt to make him laugh & cheer him up, "I do believe you shall be the talk of the evening."

He laughed, instantly relaxing a little, "Hopefully it'll be good talk."

"Oh, most certainly," you teased, winking at him & making him laugh again.

He smiled, looking at you seriously, "You know I love you, right?"

You smiled wider, blushing a little, "I do know that & I hope you know that I love you, too."

He grinned, "I do know that."

You laughed, "Good," you went ahead & finished getting ready before pulling on your shoes. You had tried to color-coordinate & match with Evan so you would both look spectacular together. You both looked incredibly gorgeous together, especially in tonight's get-up.

Although Evan was so nervous, you were actually really excited. You weren't in the show business nor were you a celebrity, so you never got to go out to things like this. You were super excited to have this opportunity & to get to do it with Evan, so you gladly wanted to accompany him.

Evan wrapped an arm around your waist & pressed a kiss to your cheek, "Thank you, for agreeing to come with me."

You smiled, "No need, you know I'd do anything & everything for you."

He smiled, "I know & I'd do the same for you," you leaned up a bit & kissed him gently, grabbing his hand in yours.

You intertwined your fingers with his, "Ready?"

He nodded, "Ready."

The ride to the event was fairly quiet. You had decided to drive, knowing if Evan's nerves caught up with him again he'd have problems driving & probably get into an accident. The closer you came to the event, the more nervous he got. It started with him bouncing his leg softly, but that quickly escalated to a fast paced bounce, his leg literally vibrating. Then, his hands started shaking a little. He tried to hold his thighs to steady his hands but they just continued to shake. You reached over & gently grabbed his hand, squeezing it softly as you kept your eyes on the road. He held onto your hand for dear life, his anxiety worsening by the minute.

You gave him another reassuring squeeze, but his anxiety continued to misbehave. You sighed & gently pulled the car over. Evan turned to you, "What are you doing?"

You gently turned to him & cupped his face in your hands, "Are you sure you're ready for this? I've never seen you this nervous before."

He sighed, "I'm just so afraid..."

"Of what?"

"Of...everything: what they'll say, what they'll think, what they'll do..."

You smiled, "Evan, they all love you. Have you seen how big your fanbase is & all the nice things they tweet you? They think you're so talented, wonderful, & gorgeous because you are all of those things & more," he blushed softly, making you smile, "You have absolutely nothing to be afraid of or worry about."

He smiled & gently leaned closer, pressing his forehead against yours, "You make feel so special & loved. Thank you," he flashed you a beautiful, dimpled smile, making your heart melt.

"You don't need to thank me for that," instead of arguing further, he just pressed his lips against yours in a loving kiss. After the lovely kiss, you gave Evan a few more minutes to compose himself before you finished the short drive to the event. It took you forever to find a parking but once you did, you both quickly got out, Evan immediately taking your hand in his. He offered you a nervous smile.

You leaned up & pressed a kiss to his cheek, "Hey, I'm with you, okay? Always," his smile became more genuine & less nervously forced as the two of you looked out onto the red carpet.

"Alright," Evan said, taking a deep breath, "I'm ready," & with that, the two of you walked hand-in-hand right onto the red carpet.

You both ended up being the talk of the evening as "the loveliest couple in Hollywood". Everyone loved you & Evan & you both had a wonderful time, even at the After Party, which Evan (surprisingly) insisted on going to.

Needless to say, you both had an amazing night.
