Broadway And Other Obsessions One Shots!

Bill Hader x Reader

Hey all!

So, I know I say this literally every time, but holy smokes have I been busy. Literally, music has been taking up my entire life. I barely have a social life anymore so that's great. But I'm doing so many music things! I am going to be subbing for the bassist on The Waitress!!! And I've been talking and getting advice from other musicians and bassists. I had a really nice, hour and a half chat with the bassist for Billy Joel!!! I have so much coming up. But I thought that I should post something. Y'all were asking for Bill Hader, so here is a Bill Hader imagine! I have a ton of prewritten stuff that I only write for myself, and this is part of it. This is only a small portion of the story that I have so far. If you like how it's going to far, I'll post more sections! So yeah, enjoy!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've been working at SNL for a about a year now, and it's changed my life. Ever since I got that call from Lorne saying I got the job, my life hasn't been the same. It's changed in a lot of ways, but I usually only think of the negative ways. Like how I had to move to New York and I lost contact with most of my friends. Like how I barely talk to the other cast members because of my social anxiety. And yes I know, it's strange considering that I'm an actor. I get really nervous before performances, but once I'm on stage, I feel a lot better. So far I haven't seen a cast member who gets as nervous as I do or who isn't completely confident about themselves.  Anyway, I just have a really hard time adjusting. The worst part is that I have a small crush on one of the cast members. He's the only one who I've actually interacted with before. He smiled at me when we walk past each other, he waves at me, during table reads he makes funny faces to make me laugh, and during dress rehearsals, he's watching from the audience. I haven't been in a sketch with him yet either. He's also the funniest cast member, well, at least I think so. He's extremely funny and talented and I feel like I'm not good enough to even be friends with him. I wish I had the confidence to go and talk to him, but most of my confidence is gone. Maybe one day we'll talk.

For this episode, Paul Rudd is the host. It was Sunday morning and everyone was talking about their sketches that they wrote and what Paul and Lorne would think of them. I walked to get a bottle of water at the vending machine and I saw Paul there, buying a water bottle. He turns around and smiles at me.

"Hey, I'm Paul."

"I-I'm (Y/N). I'm a cast m-member."

"You sound really nervous. I'm not so scary once you get to know me a little."

"I'm always nervous. It's nothing new."

"I met all of the cast members already, how come I haven't seen you until now?"

"I usually don't hang out with the other cast members. I'm really shy."

"Do you talk with any of them?"

"No, not yet. Bill Hader and I wave to each other in the hallway. He always smiles at me and seems supportive, but I haven't actually talked to him yet."

"Wow. Well, if you want to talk to someone, I'm here. We can always keep in touch if you need a friend."

"Thank you, that means a lot."

"Don't worry about it. You seem like a really cool person."

"Thanks Paul."

"I should probably get going, but I'll see you later, ok?"

"Ok, I'll see you later."

Paul begins to walk away, but stops and turns back around.

"Have you ever done a promo for the show yet?"
