A Thousand Years (Richard Speight Jr x Reader)

Part 1

This is a fiction story, I have nothing against Richard, his beautiful wife or his amazing family. Just like my Jensen x reader story i am simply using Richard as a character! Much love! 

Your sat on the arm of one of the chairs in the in the green room leaning over the occupant as you attempted to help him fix the settings on his phone camera. Rich swore he hadn’t touched anything, yet the mischievous look in his eye told you otherwise.

“Richie you must have pressed something or it wouldn’t have changed” you chuckled leaning closer to get a better look whilst desperately trying to ignore the heat radiating from him.

“Y/n I swear I didn’t” he laughed pressed another button on the touch screen, you reached and lightly slapped his hand away

“Stop touching things!” you attempt to scold him but are unable to keep yourself from giggling

You’d chosen to ignore the smirks, stares and obvious gossip that was going on between Brianna, Kim and Ruth on the sofa opposite you. Ever since Richard got divorced a year ago they had come up with this theory that you had fallen hook, line and sinker in love with him….which is of course ridiculous….you’d been in love with him for much longer than that.

You’d met Richard for the first time when you were visiting your brother on set, Jared had proudly introduced his little sister to everyone including a certain Mr Speight. The second his hand touched yours and he smiled, you knew then and there were a goner.

You’d both stayed in touch and became good friends. You even had the chance to work with him when you joined that cast two year later when the Trickster was reviled to be Gabriel. Everything was going amazingly; everyone who had known about your crush on Rich had insisted that he felt the same. After a while you’d started to believe them, you believed them right up to the moment he walked onto set with a gorgeous woman on his arm and announced they were getting married. He’d never even told you he was dating.

You felt your world crumble with a simple announcement, but you were a big girl not a teenager. You plastered a big smile on your face and congratulated them both and acted like nothing had changed.

That was years ago, you’d been there for him at his wedding, you’d been there when things between then started to get strained and you’d been there when he drunkenly announced to you, Rob and Matt that they were getting divorced. Seeing him hurt was the last thing you ever wanted.

“There got it!” you happily announced when you fixing the camera settings

“Ah Y/n you’re amazing gorgeous!” you blush, slap his shoulder lightly and tell him to shut up

Brianna chuckles as she takes in the scene before her.

“It’s so sweet how they think they’re aren’t a couple!” she says loudly enough for Rob, who was sitting on the chair beside them, to hear and look up from his phone.

He looked over at his best friend and smiled, he knew Richard had always had feelings for you but refused to act on them because not only were you Jared’s little sister, but because he saw you as insanely out of his league. He always said he’d rather keep you as a friend than risk losing you completely, even when Jared himself encouraged him to ask you out three months ago he wouldn’t budge.

Checking the time he signalled for Brianna, Kim and Ruth to follow him as they all had autograph sessions next. They all snuck from the room leave you and Rich alone.

You were both ignorant to them leaving, as you were both caught up in the video he had taken earlier in his panel with Rob and Matt. Your eyes were glued to the small screen, taking in the humorous antics of your friends on stage. Richard’s eyes however never left your face, taking in your smile and the way your eyes sparkled.

“You do realise you’re a giant dork” you smirk facing Richard once the video had ended.

“But I’m your dork right?” he smiled teasingly. You threw your head back and let a heartfelt laugh, he glared playfully; crossing his arms in fake anger.

“Aww poor baby” you coo, wrapping your hands around him; resting your head on his shoulder momentarily.

“So does this mean I am your dork?” you giggled quietly, raising your head to look him in the eye

“Always Richie”  you whisper honestly, kissing his cheek tenderly; holding your lips against his face a few seconds longer than necessary. You pulled back smiling sweetly, your eyes glued to his. 

You’d both been like this for months, flirting and teasing each other; but neither of you had the courage to make a move. You let out a shaky breath and gulped away the lump that had appeared in your throat. Your tongue darted out to wet your dry lips, which caused Richard’s gaze to drop to them. 

Nerves built in your stomach under his intense stare. Those amber gold eyes darkened slightly before he began to lean slowly towards you. You echoed his movements, your eyes fluttering closed. His warm breath gently caressed your lips when the alarm on his phone rang.
