Gwilym X Reader Fanfic

Part 1

You were back to filming today. You and the team had some short time off while Joe flew back after the passing of his dad, and as Joe was playing John, scenes would have been impossible to film without him.
You weren't complaining though, this was the most beautiful dream come true of a job you could have been offered. You were playing Chrissie Mullen, Brian May's ex wife in the film soon to be on the big screens, Bohemian Rhapsody.
The film had been an amazing opportunity for you as you hadn't long been acting as your "full time job". You had met so many wonderful people and formed unbreakable friendships. Working close with Rami, Joe, Gwilym, Ben and Lucy meant you'd formed a tight knit group, some friendships becoming closer than intended....
The boys were some of your closest friends, ones that wanted to protect you and adored you along with Lucy. Lucy was practically your best friend, ever since filming you'd clicked and from there started the weekend brunches, girls nights and just being each other's main support network... of course, she was the first one you told when you developed feelings for Gwil!
Since the first day on set you felt giddy around him and as Lucy always told you "he had eyes for you on the first day"... we did share a few glances at one another, but you believed he was just being friendly. Gwil was what made the long hours and repetitive scenes bearable; his complete personality, caring, sweet, funny and a true gentleman. Not forgetting his looks, GOD... he was gorgeous, even with the Bri wig, he was absolutely drop dead gorgeous.
You'd been filming for Bohemian Rhapsody for 5 months now... enough time to develop friendships, enough time for innocent flirting with Gwil... enough time to spill all your feelings out to Lucy almost every night of how you want to be his! She'd heard it all - from the innocent "I want him to take me in his arms and softly kiss me" ... to... "I WANT TO SHAG GWIL". ... Lucy actually couldn't escape it, as after two months, you'd become roommates in your sizeable 2 bed apartment in Chelsea. The two weeks you were off Lucy had the pleasure of experiencing your emotions from the many texts Gwil had sent you. They were a little flirty and even Lucy stated, for someone who isn't glued to his screen, he sure was while we had two weeks off.

... Soooo ... you'd had 2 weeks off and now Joe was extremely strong, he had returned to the UK and was ready to start up filming again.

It was 4am, an early start, as filming kicked off at 7 and before hand is always hectic. You were so excited to be reunited with your group again, you'd only seen Lucy and of course Rami for the time off, and practically third wheeled the whole time. Ben had been off seeing old school friends and trying to make the most of the time off and Gwilym was also unavailable, due to his brother getting married abroad, so he went to join his family for the week.
2 weeks seemed like a lifetime without the team together.

As Rami ensured he had his bag ready for the day, you took this opportunity to tell Lucy how you were feeling, "I'm just so nervous about seeing Gwil!"
"Why? You two are cool with each other"
"I know that!" I sighed, "but were the slightly flirty messages too much? Have I put him off?!"
"Y/N! Stop being silly.. I honestly think this is the start of something with you two!"
"WHO?" Rami exclaimed as his came waltzing in with a grin on his face. Lucy gave him a little scowl and patted him on the chest, "you're so nosey! You don't have to know EVERYTHING!"
Rami gave her a cheeky smile and kissed Lucy's cheek, "oh okay! But y/n, careful you don't go upsetting anyone as Gwilym look like he's got eyes for you"
You tried not to burst out of your skin and squeal to Lucy, but you just smiled and nodded at his statement and all left moving onto the next topic.
As you walked down to the tube station with Rami and Lucy walking a few feet in front, you spiralled with thoughts in your head... did I hear Rami correctly?! Did he say GWIL? GWILYM?? His friend Gwilym? His friend who they both tell each other all their thoughts and issues? Rami wouldn't just make this up? Or did he? He probably misheard Gwilym if he said anything at all!
After a 25 minute tube, you were in zone 5 and walking to some huge studio building... your heartbeat started picking up and now the joy of seeing your friends, turned into nerves of seeing Gwil... you had never been like this before!
Along with extras and yourself, Rami and Lucy, you seemed to be the first in arrival and got straight to sitting in your chairs allowing the makeup, hair and fashion artists to get to work and make you all Queens! Your nerves had started to subside as Rami kept both you and Lucy entertained! He was getting full Freddie Mercury(IED) up and repeating old lines to us, he'd turn to Lucy "there's only room in the band for one hysterical queen".
Sat in our chairs laughing at each other, in walked Joe, Ben and Gwilym... walking around saying hey to everyone and hugging everyone to welcome them back... you prepared for Gwil to come and embrace you after you'd given Joe a squeeze and letting him know to come to you if he needed anything, instead, Gwil practically walked around you to his chair to get his wig put on... what... you looked in the mirror and met Gwils gaze where he gave you a soft smile and then looked away to chat to Rami...
I'm sorry what... thoughts spiralled around your head? Okay so... 2 weeks of texts, some flirty and what Rami said and then how much you'd bonded in general and now this?! This wasn't even how he treated you when you two weren't close! It was like he was treating you like you were a stranger in the room, out of place... from there you had sunken in your chair as the hair stylist transformed you while you began to feel sorry for yourself and phased out of all the conversations for the time being...
You'd been filming for a while now and it was a very tiring day, especially after the 2 weeks of doing nothing. For the benefit of your friends you tried not to sulk and have a head fit about your wild emotions, but just enjoy their company and try to get on with work and yes, it was enjoyable, but still, Gwilym was barely acknowledging you and you were starting to get used to it. On the other hand, Joe was an absolute trooper! I don't know anyone but him who could just get on with work and make everyone else feel so upbeat, he had us all giggling between takes. As we were around 5 months into the film, we were filming a scene at Freddie's where he hosted an of course! Very out there party. The only part about this scene was it was where Gwil and yourself were sitting on a sofa with his arm around you... you were so confused... the flirting before the break, during the texting for 2 weeks, now he's not talking, but why we're shooting the scene, he's gently rubbing my back with his thumb, out of shot from the cameras and acting as if he wasn't doing anything at all.. God, he made me weak! I just wanted to be his!                                                "And CUT!" Called our director, we'd just filmed as much as we could for today... We were all still sitting on the prop sofa and everyone was slowly getting up to go get their makeup and wigs off, but not Gwil. Once everyone was out of ear shot, he sighed, facing forward looking in the distance. He then turned to you, looking at you with his beautiful blue eyes with a half smile... "hi, love" he chuckled, looking down...            You raised your eyebrows, "what?" You ask. Gwil still has he arm around your back and starts rubbing his thumb against you again, "look I've wanted to speak to you all day, but I think we both know we need to speak alone." You smiled at him and your fear swept away, you gently smacked his thigh where he placed his hand over your hand resting on his thigh, "Gwil, I genuinely thought you didn't want to know me! You hadn't spoken to me all day and that's not like us".                                                    "Y/n! Don't be silly! Maybe we could have that chat now? Maybe over a drink?" Gwil asked,      "That'd be nice" you smiled, "but fancy taking off the Bri's hair and taking off those clogs before we go?" You asked. Gwil patted the top of his head and realised he was in full Bri attire and giggled. Oh my god, that little chuckle he did... "give me 20 mins and I'll be ready", Gwil stood up pressing his hand against your bare thigh from the dress you'd been wearing during filming, as he stood up he turned and looked you up and down while you were sitting on the sofa... "unreal" he said faintly. Your head turned and you looked at him confused, but before you had anytime to question what he said he was dashing off scratching at his wig to be taken off....
