Anthony Ramos x Reader

Later That Night

By the time all of us decided we were gonna go to bed it was well past midnight.

"Alright, well I'm going to sleep." I yawned and sleepily wadled to the bench.

"Your gonna sleep on a bench?" Lin asked sarcastically.

"Mhm." I curled up in the corner and rested my head aginst the wall.

"That can't be comfortable..." Lin laughed and handed me a blanket and a pillow he had gotten from the bedroom.

"Thanks." I smiled a little and set up the pillow.

He nodded, waved goodbye to both of us, and then closed the door behind him as he went to the bedrooms.

Lin left me and Anthony.  Alone.

"Hey..." Anthony looked down awkwardly.

I sat up and sighed quietly. Anthony sat down next to me during that weird minute of awkward silence.

"About earlier-"

"No." I interrupted him. I do realize how stupid that is. "Its fine. Im not the type of person people want a long term...thing with."

Anthony bit his lip, like I normally do. It was obvious he was hiding something. But now wasnt the time to ask.

"Goodnight Anthony." I mumbled and layed down.

"Wait...what?" He looked at me.

"I thought you were going to sleep..." I opened snapchat and texted one of my friends.

He sat there in silence again for a minute. When he finally spoke, he didnt speak at all, he sung. "Thats not the only reason I liked her though~"

I tried not to smile, but its so difficult.

I clicked the camera button and flipped my phone up to record him being a dork.

"What the heck I gotta do~" He sung quietly.

I sent it to my friend (who is also a giant hamilton nerd) Lilly. So responded with a "OMG wait....ARE YOU WITH ANTHONY RAMOS??"

No, were just friends.
Its not like that

No
I meant irl
Like
In the same room
as him

Oh
Yeah

Omg
Omg
Omg
Omg
Thats so awesome!!!

I looked up at Anthony who smiled at me. Of course I smiled back. Its so hard no to.

I yawned and curled up next to him. He looked down at me and smiled.

"I broke up with her. It wasn't really working anyway."

I just sat in silence for fear if I said something I would cry.

"Im sorry." He said quietly.

"Why are you apologizing? I never thought I would be able to meet you, and I did and thats enough. I don't need a huge romance story with falling in love.  Im not saying im not in love with y- I MEAN!"

He giggled and I hid my face in the blanket I was holding.

And we sat like that for a while. Just us, on that tour bus, me blushing like an idiot and him giggling like a dork.

His phone started ringing. We both looked over at the table where it sat. He picked it up and sigh.

"I gotta take this..."

I moved my head and he got up, putting the phone to his ear.

"Hello?" He spoke quietly.

"Jasmine I-"

"No. I didn't"

"He's asleep."

Im not sure what he was talking about, but he turned and looked at me, his eyes slowly getting watery.

He pulled the phone away from his ear and put it on speaker.

"Anthony I swear to god-
If you broke up with me for some fan-"

"Jasmine. We're just friends."

I cut in. "Jasmine. Hi. You don't know me but-"

"Hi." She seemed annoyed

"I 100% promise me and Anthony are just friends, if even that. I meet him two days ago, we're not exactly close."

Everyone was quiet untill Jasmine sighed.

"Im sorry, im just frustrated with everything. Anthony I hope we can still be friends. Y/n I hope we can become friends."

"Sounds great." I smiled and Anthony hung up.

He set his phone back down and sat next to me.

"Im sorry." I said quietly and curled up.

He said nothing. Just sat there.

"Look, if you really wanted to be with her-"

He cut me off. "I want to be with you."

My mouth was gaping. I mean, I got the hints that he might have liked me, but not like this.

"We just met-"

"I don't care." Anthony turned to look me in the eyes and I could tell he really meant it. "I think im in love with you, and I dont just say that because you listen to a musical I am in. I don't just say that because you might have some little celebrity crush on me. If thats why I was saying it, I would say this on a live video on instagram or something. But here. On this bus. Just you and me. I am telling. (First name) (last name) I am in love with you."

I sat in awe at this man. I tried to speak, but the words just came out a scrambled squeaks. He sighed and I looked up at him, moving slightly so I wasn't laying down.

I sat up and stared at him. I had no words and my body was too weak to move. What was this? Was this love?

All this next stuff happened at once. In a flash, a quick blur.

He pulled me in by wraping his hands around the back of my neck. I felt my hair stand up a little. He bent down (im noticeably shorter than he is) and pressed his lips against mine, not like before. This wasn't Justin and Naomi anymore, this was Anthony and y/n.

And we sat like that, his fingers interlaced with mine, for a while. Even when we stopped kissing and I layed my head on his chest and felt us slowly slip off to sleep.
We sat like that untill morning. We sat like that untill we made Hollywood.
