The Model and the Actor

Ever since you first started off in the industry Tom had been following you. Well not in the literal sense. Every magazine you were in, he bought one, every interview you were in, he watched. He was definitely a huge fan of yours. You were sweet and beautiful, what wasn't there to like?

But he was still low on the food chain himself, but God his dream was to meet you someday. If just to tell you how beautiful he thought you were.

You on the other hand had been following Tom since you saw him in How I Live Now. He was just so cute and you could tell he was going to go far in his acting career. Then when he was cast as Spider-Man for Marvel, well you knew he'd really start to take off.

And he did, and there were a few times you were at the same events, but you never managed to run into him. You figured it must not be meant to be.

Work was busy, you went from Paris to New York, LA to London. You were on of the top models in the world, finally reaching your dreams. All you ever wanted was to make it big, and now that you had you realized you'd never be out of the spotlight. Not that there was really a problem with that, you wouldn't have become a model if you didn't.

Fashion week had just practically ended and you were setting up interviews with the big names of late night t.v. When you found out that you'd be the first person interviewed and that some Marvel actors would be interviewing after you to promote End Game, you were excited. You tried to not to get your hopes up though. But you really wanted Tom to be there. Over the course of the past few years he'd gotten even bigger and way more handsome. He was so funny and you just wanted to meet him.

When it was finally confirmed that he would in fact be there, while not admitting it to anyone, you fangirled for a good few minutes before calming yourself down and coming up with a plan.

The day of the interview both you and Tom were buzzing with nervousness. If you finally got to meet you both wondered how things would go.

Upon your arrival at the studio you found that you were not able to meet the few Marvel actors that were there before the show.

So, there you were sitting beside your host, James Corden. He started the interview off like he would any other. It wasn't long before he was finally introducing the Marvel cast members.

There was so much applause. Mark Ruffalo, Scarlett Johansson, Robert Downey Jr., and Tom all came out.

Your heart skipped a beat, he was heading right towards you as you stood with James to greet them all.

Tom was speechless as you offered your hand to him. He didn't know what to say, everything happened so fast he was suddenly sitting in a seat beside you. His three co-stars sitting behind the two of you.

You cast a quick shy glance Tom's way, you couldn't believe this was happening.

Tom nervously wiped his hands on his pants.

"Wow, we seem to have two nervous kids up here, don't we," James laughed, making everyone else laugh.

"What do you expect?" Mark asked. "Tom's got the biggest crush on Miss Y/L/N. Never shuts up about her."

Tom's face lit up red, he tried to counter, but stumbled over words as he saw you blush a great deal as well.

"Come on, Mark you're embarrassing the kids," Robert said, a sly smile on his face.

"And judging by the look on your face Y/N, you seem to have a bit of a crush on Tom here," James accused.

"Oh well I-," You started, then you glanced at Tom and any thoughts left as his face fell. You didn't mean for that to sound negative, but now with that little hint you found yourself able to take a breath. At least you knew he didn't not like you. "Of course. What girl my age or younger wouldn't have a crush on him. He's funny and handsome and have you seen his dog? Cutest little bean I have ever seen and he loves her so much."

You realized you probably went a little far, but hey, you'd probably never see him again if you didn't talk to him after this so who cares if the world knew you had a crush on someone.

This got ooh's from the audience and the group behind you.

Tom blushed the entire rest of the interview. He found he couldn't even respond. All he could do was think about how you just admitted you liked him.

God your nervousness grew as you sat there while the three adults behind you promoted their movie. Of course, just before the end they all started to roast you and Tom for having been so quiet.

"I know where Tom will be after this," Scarlett stated.

"They've definitely got a thing for each other. Maybe something will come out of it," Mark added.

"Or maybe the kid will finally get over his not wanting to date phase and actually do something about the girl he likes," Robert said, reaching over and putting his hand on Tom's shoulder.

The show ended, you were finally free to head out and you found things to be rather awkward.

But you received apologies from the other interviewees just in case they embarrassed you too much before they all threw looks at Tom, as if pushing him.

"I'm... I'm really sorry about them... Being the youngest, I sort of catch all the teasing..." He admitted, finally finding words now that you two were alone.

You smiled softly at him. "It's alright, I get it. I think it's sweet that they're like that with you."

"It can be sometimes," He told you.

Silence fell between you, he rubbed the back of his neck, you looked down at your feet.

You both went to say something, then told the other to go first, thankfully the little slip made things a bit more comfortable.

"Was what you said true?" Tom asked.

You nodded. "Yeah... And that was before you were brought on as Spider-Man."

Tom's eyes widened at your truth. "R-really?"

"Yeah, always thought you were pretty cute, and very talented."

"I... wow... I never imagined... Funnily enough I um I've been following your career for quite some time too. I hope that doesn't sound weird... I just... you're so beautiful and sweet."

You smiled up at him, softly.

"Ask her out already!" Robert said from the side of the stage, sounding exasperated.

You both blushed and found you were being watched by the four that you thought had left you. All of them notioning to Tom the he should do it.

You chuckled lightly as he turned around with an annoyed look.

"Now they've gone and ruined things." Tom stated.

"Why do you say that?" You asked.

"Because now if I ask you out you'll believe it was because they told me to do it."

You took a small step forward. "Well then, will you go out with me? Because I really like you Tom, and I think we'd be great together. Whether your friends told you to ask me or not."

He smiled back at you. "Uh yeah, yeah I'd love to."
