Infinity || Dan Smith

Eighteen.

   — Filming, day 7

Dan stands in the steamy blue water with his arms crossed over his topless body, even though nothing but his shoulders are visible. "How are you enjoying Iceland so far?" A local, who is being a background character, asks Dan.

Dan shrugs his shoulders back before smiling. "We've only literally just arrived here. But yeah...I love this place. I've never been before and I regret not coming here sooner." Dan doesn't mind Iceland, but he doesn't want to offend the local by saying it's 'alright'. He prefers a small but similar town in Sweden, plus it's less cold and not snowy.

"Free drink for you tonight." The older gentleman laughs while getting uncomfortably close to Dan.

"Aw...thanks." Dan cringes while the local then pats Dan on the back. In the middle of the awkwardness Dan then pulls away as he watches Charlie appear from out of the double doors which is close to where he is standing.

   Charlie's hair falls behind her while she struts out looking like Miss Universe. Dan's jaw drops wide open while a crew member in the water tells Dan to prepare and gives him a quiet count down while Charlie, or in this case Lily, removes her silk robe and drops it on the floor.

   Her swimming costume is barely a one piece. It's basically a black bikini with a silver strip going down the middle. Dan then tries to act less impressed by her dramatic walk into the water...but he can't help but smile. Though the cameras keep rolling because the team thinks he's acting.

   "Do you like?" Lily asks as soon as she's within two meters distance of him.

   Liam on the other hand nods his head in silence, admiring her beauty. Admiring her guts. "It was on sale. I know how you like me in black." Lily throws herself into Liam's arms while he stands there emotionless.

   "Say something...anything..." she whispers while he shrugs.

   "The last time I saw you in black you was trying to kill me." Lily rolls her eyes to the side before she reveals a helpless smile, she then stretches her arm out in front of her before holding Liam's cheek softly. Their faces are inches apart and they both want to kiss, but not as their characters that they're portraying.

   They want to snog as real lovers. Not as the ones you see on screen.

   "You know what they say, darling. Black is a very slimming colour, don't you agree?" Liam nods his head without smiling. Something of which is very hard for Dan to do in this situation.

   "Anyway, if I really wanted you dead you'd be dead. I don't get to decide to play god on people's lives. What happens...happens. I drink to forget but instead I become numb and cause more damage." Lily looks away while she lowers her hand from his cheek to his shoulder.

   In silence Lily awkwardly bows her head forwards before leaning her forehead on Liam's bare shoulder.

   "Forgive me, Liam. I want to marry you this time...I really do."

   To keep the fanboys from moaning about the romantic storyline, they then share a kiss. The scene then ends on them two embracing each other, and they wake up in bed besides each other. That's that of the relationship for the next half hour of the film or so, considering that the Iceland trip is towards the end of the film.

   Charlie hops onto Dan and wraps both of her legs around him while Dan supportively holds her up a little, they both them kiss. A steamy and passionate kiss.

   Surprisingly, this is the first romantic kiss that Dan and Charlie has done. But it's also their best kiss that they've ever had, which is bonkers considering Dan has a long list of ex lovers. Charlie then pulls back while Aubrey yells 'cut'.

— Wrap, day 7

   The boom mic operators and camera men make their way out of the lagoon whilst the other locals and tourists, who wasn't in the background of the scene, are allowed into the filming area. Both Dan and Charlie refuse to get out, even though they're still in their costumes. But Aubrey decides to leaves them alone....which is the kindest thing she has done so far.

   It's only because the co-stars deserve some time to 'play' since they've been working nonstop all week!

   However, by the time the cast and crew leave the lagoon Charlie is still latched to Dan like a sloth. And Dan is still holding her up, although he doesn't need to since she's basically weightless in the water.

   "Sorry...if that was bad..." Charlie laughs as she now feels the sudden embarrassment swoop over her. She hates how right it feels, but she knows that Dan is basically still a stranger to her. But, Dan on the other hand laughs in nerves as he shakes his head lightly.

He genuinely liked the kiss.

   "Nah..." — Dan's voice ever so lightly trails off with a glint in his big blue eyes — "it was amazing." Charlie then looks away as she feels like she needs to say something about their sexual tension. Not Lily and Liam's.

Theirs.

As soon as Charlie goes to ask Dan about maybe going on a date, Dan begins to talk. He forgets his nerves and cuts to the point. "I know this sounds fucked up but hear me out..." his voice then trails off while Charlie looks at him curious. Despite having butterflies in her tummy, due to her nerves.

They're basically the same person. What Charlie is feeling is exactly what Dan is feeling.

"Would you want to host the Brit Awards...with me? I kind of need a date, and my mate who works for the Brits says that they're low on guest presenters and I can take one with me." — Dan nervously laughs trying to process everything Dan has just said, but he has more to say — "I know that this is seriously last minute, and it means postponing filming for a few days...but it's possible to go there, buy a suit and dress, attend the award show, get a hotel, and fly back."

Charlie's eyes widen at the 'date' part as soon as she replays what Dan has just said in her mind. Although she doesn't really know what context she should take it in.

"Date?" Charlie curiously asks acting like it's no big deal.

"I mean...if you want it to be..." with that Charlie then makes first move. She kisses Dan again, but this time is a quicker kiss...more addictive and lustful. It was always going to be her to make the first moves...considering Dan is still trying to blur his last...psychotic 'lover' out of his mind. But strangely enough, for the first time ever...he isn't thinking about Holly.

His thinking about Charlie.

Only Charlie.
