   — On set, day 7

None of the cast expected to be filming in a different country by the end of the first working week...but Aubrey likes to keep them on their toes. So that's apart of the reason why they're in Iceland already.

Both Dan and Charlie sit in their cabins, looking into their vanities mirror while the makeup and hair department do their thing.

While the cabins aren't like their usual trailers...they both seem to find it more cozy and homely. Despite the door being constantly open due to their teams running in and out.

The reason why they aren't in their trailers because of the filming site. The site itself is about eighty miles from the nearest village, so it's safe to assume that they're in the remote wilderness. There's no way that a trailer could ever get through the snow anyway.

"What's the scene we're filming again?" Charlie asks while she lights a cigarette.

"The scene where Lily and Liam are in the blue lagoon." Charlie bites her lip while she thinks about Dan shirtless. It's the cliché power move...but she doesn't care.

Dan is her type of guy.

"I know you don't like talking...but I need your advice ladies." With that the only male crew member, Sebastian Klaus, looks in her direction almost offended.

"And gays!" He shouts while Charlie nods her head with a helpless smile.

"Of course." She mumbles while Sebastian continues to spruce up Charlie's hair real big beauty queen style, despite being a swimming scene.

"What advice is it?" One of the female crew members ask. This is the first time Charlie has really spoken. They know that she's shy and suffers anxiety.

"Boy advice." Everyone in the cabin throws their eyes backwards.

"And who is this boy? Does he have a name?" The same woman asks with a smile in her voice.

"Is he fit?" Sebastian says popping his head over Charlie's shoulder in the mirror, looking like a meerkat.

"It's Dan. I know it's stupid." Feeling ashamed of liking her co-star Charlie throws both of her palms over her face. But everyone else in the cabin makes an 'awe' sound.

"I mean he's not fit. But he's...cute." Sebastian isn't impressed with Charlie's choice. He was expecting her to come out and name another Marvel actor like Micheal B Jordan or perhaps even Sebastian Stan. Not her co-star.

He's seen relationships between co-stars fail time and time again.

"Do you know if he...likes me?" There's a few shrugs. Everyone has had the vibe that Dan and Charlie was secretly dating, so they're surprised to learn that they haven't been.

"We've all seen the way he looks at you." Sebastian says before the silence got too discomforting.

Charlie feels sad and hopeless. She doesn't want to ruin her friendship with Dan...he's the first genuine friend that she has ever had. So it's overly important that Charlie doesn't scare him off if she tells him her true feelings...how she wants him as more than a 'friend'.

   Unbeknownst to the twenty something that Dan feels the exact same way about her.

   All that's standing between them is their reputation, their jobs...and Holly. While Dan is now wants Charlie, he still is trying to not love his ex...despite her lying to him about her age and identity, which is a big deal. Considering that's why Bastille broke up.

   "But what if he looks at me like that...but doesn't like me? I've seen the type of girls Dan likes on his Instagram." Sebastian gasps with a wide white smile. His smile is so big and white that Charlie knows that he must have veneers.

   "Ladies! Behold the greatest online predator...Charlotte Everett aka the Insta-stalker." Charlie shakes her head at Sebastian's comment while all of the girls in the cabin let out a nervous laugh.

   No one in the cabin has ever not insta-stalked someone they've liked before...so no one comments. Not even Sebastian who brought it up.

   "After you two snog in the lagoon tell Dan you love him, like Lily does. Add a hand movement under water or something no one can see...he'll know."

   Wank Dan off in a lagoon? Is the first thing Charlie thinks. However, what the makeup woman really meant is that Charlie should gently hold the side of his abdomen, or to grab Dan's hand while reciting her lines. Not to inappropriately touch him like Charlie thinks.

   "Really?" Charlie says as she cringes.

   "Yeah. Trust me, it'll work."

   Charlie then nervously looks away while the wardrobe department bursts through the door holding Lily's black swimsuit.
