CODED || T. HOLLAND [ on hold ]

real life || 10.0

BRIAR SAT WITH A GROUP of other people from the studio, eagerly following the fight scene from the real script, her new friend Kyle, following Tom's fake sides to make sure the breakdown of the choreography matched along. The Russo's were off filming a scene with The Guardians and had sent her as a proxy for them. So, there she sat, letting her eyes run over the face of the young brit pretending to web Josh Brolin absentmindedly, tearing her eyes away from him at the sudden thought of her code-mate.

The Fight Choreographer called the scene for a break, and everyone went off, leaving people in little pockets around the room. "That Holland kid is insane!" Kyle said, nudging her.

"I know, I totally get the hype...I always thought Spiderman was cute. Tobey was my first crush!" Kyle chuckled, taking a swig from his water bottle. 

"What a girl, you are." Briar let out a laugh.

"Was that really your best attempt at Yoda's speaking?"

"Oh, shut up, Bri!" She started to take off her jacket, fully exposing her code. She wrapped it around her waist as she heard commotion from nearby

"Get the top part of this suit off, now!" Tom practically yelled, pulling at the fabric, everyone turned to look at him. Harrison, looked at him with confused eyes, but did as he asked. "Let me see your code!" He asked, quickly making his way over to Briar and Kyle.

"What the hell, dude, this is the middle of a fight call!" She replied, watching as he finally freed  his right arm from the UnderArmor top. 

"Please...show me...I saw part of it and I just need to make sure." He asked, Tom's voice now strained and his brown eyes starting to panic. She nodded, holding out her left arm with shallow breath. 

And there. 

It. 

Was.

The two of them stood there with disbelief in their eyes, Briar's eyes now watering along with the brits, She heard someone call for somebody over a walkie talkie. 

It was him.

The boy she had spent years leaving little messages and making vlogs for on Youtube, the one who she wondered about since the day her code was explained to her. It was all proven in chunky, black numeric font.

14556230.

Tom smiled for the first time during the interaction, pulling her into a hug.

"You're real...I found you." He whispered into her hair. She let out a deep, happy laugh as she pulled away and wiped away the small tears that had reached her cheeks. "Why are you crying?"

"I'm happy, They're happy tears!" Tom laughed in reply, looking at her in awe. "I'm Briar Morgenstern." 

"I'm Tom Holland."

"I know!"

"Yeah! Holland found his girl!" Robert yelled from the entrance of the stunt soundstage. Tom pulled her in for another hug, this time his cheeks were pink and both of their hearts were full.
