Rumors | Sebastian Stan

1.2

Teigan wanders down the hallway into the open plan part of the apartment, taking one look at the mess they left in the living room before deciding that it can wait. There are blankets and pillows strewn across the sofa and floor, with some food wrappers littering the coffee table.

She thanks Sebastian in her mind when she sees that he's already set up the coffee machine to have a pot of fresh coffee ready for around the time she normally wakes up. She inhales contently as she pours herself a cup, stirring in some milk to make it a bit less bitter on her tired taste buds. She only ever makes it like this in the morning, the rest of the time she drinks it plain; though, she has been cutting back on her caffeine intake recently, in favour of juices, water and tea.

With it now to her satisfaction, she hums quietly under her breath as she sips at her coffee, wondering what to make herself for breakfast, and possibly something for Sebastian - but that's only if he doesn't have to rush off anywhere. His kitchen is stocked enough to make more than a few servings of a couple breakfast options that they both like, but her dilemma is that she can't decide what kind of breakfast she wants more - a cooked breakfast or a more traditional breakfast of cereal or toast. Before she can come to any kind of decision, there is a knock on the front door.

Teigan looks down at her attire, barefoot in one of Sebastian's shirts that she stole a while ago and some off-white cotton sleep shorts, before deciding that it will be fine and padding across the laminate flooring to the front door.

The person on the other side has their back turned when she pulls the door open, finishing a phone call from what she can tell, so she leans against the doorframe and waits for them to turn back around.

"- Yeah, we'll be there in half an hour, tops. Let them know, thanks."

When they finally turn around, Teigan recognises the male instantly as Sebastian's costar, Captain America himself, Chris Evans. His eyes widen upon catching sight of her in the doorway instead of who he was obviously expecting to answer the door.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry. I was looking for a friend of mine and must have knocked on the wrong door while I was distracted on the phone." Teigan bites back a smile as the flustered actor rushes to explain his apparent blunder.

"You're looking for Sebastian, right?" Chris pauses for a moment before nodding slowly. Teigan nods with a smile before tapping the plaque on the door which shows the number of the apartment. "Right apartment then."

He nods again before shaking it off and finally finding his voice again. "Is he home?"

Teigan nods, "Yeah, he's here, but you might want to come in because he's not awake yet." She steps back, waving the actor through into the apartment, leading him over to the barstools in the kitchen before turning away for a moment to pour Sebastian a cup of coffee to take with her when she goes to wake him up.

"I'm sorry, I don't think I introduced myself. My name's Chris Evans, I work with Seb." Chris breaks the silence while her back is turned.

"It's okay, I recognised you earlier. Sebastian talks about you a lot. In fact, he was just telling me about something you two did on set together yesterday - along the lines of making each other break character." Teigan shoots the actor a smile over her shoulder, finishing up Sebastian's drink and leaving it to cool for just a moment so she can introduce herself.  "I'm Teigan Butler, also a friend of Sebastian's." She uses her left hand for balance as she leans over and holds out her right hand, hoping he doesn't notice her ring but already formulating a plan in the event that he does.

"You're not from around here, I'm guessing." He comments, shaking the hand she offers him and thankfully for her either not noticing or not acknowledging the ring on her left hand.
