warnings- ok so basically from now on this series is going to include lots of swearing and smut ;)
"Come on," she said pecking his lips. "I wanna meet Queen."
Begrudgingly, Ben set the girl down and interlocking their fingers, he led her around the set to meet the guys.
"Okay, that's Gwil, Joe and you know Rami. Great, now you've met them, let's go," the excitement in Ben's voice as he thought of spending time alone with Y/N was palpable, but she just laughed, pulling him back.
"Don't be rude," Y/N kissed him quickly. "I'm here for two whole weeks, so we'll have enough time. Besides, I don't think I heard them call wrap, so you still have work to finish."
Ben groaned and dramatically let his head flop down on Y/N's shoulder. "But you're here," he whined, wrapping both arms around her waist.
"Wow, you really have him wrapped around your finger," Joe said, but it was not meant in a mean-spirited way.
Y/N shrugged. "What can I say- he has me the same way."
Sooner rather than later, the guys were called to re-set, and they ran through the scene a few more times, Rami finally joining in before they wrapped for the day.
Ben was the first one to dash to hair and makeup, sprinting to wardrobe just so he didn't have to waste any second, he could be spending with Y/N.
When he found her again, she was talking to Allen Leech and the man was completely in awe. Ben grinned, seeing her get along with his fellow cast mates so well and came up from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist.
"Hey, my Ben's back!" Y/N smiled pecking his lips. "Allen and I were talking about going to your trailer and just chilling. Maybe order a pizza or something."
"Sure, you were. Or is that just your way of saying you want pizza?"
"I'm off the fucking diet, so if you wanna talk shit about me enjoying life, I can go straight home."
Ben didn't say anything just smiled and kissed her cheek, as he, Y/N and Allen all made their way to get together the rest of the gang and hang out.
***
The cast, including Lucy all, sat in the 'Band' trailer, just talking and discussing things. Loud laughter erupted through the small space as everyone cackled at what Allen's reaction to his first meeting Y/N had been.
"I'm just a huge fan of her music and movies. Can you blame me?"
Y/N just waved a hand in a 'stop it' motion and snuggled closer to Ben. The man smiled down at her, and honestly, he couldn't say that Allen tripping over a bunch of wires and stumbling over every single word that tried to make its way out of his mouth, was that off from his own experience. Y/N was an actual Rockstar and an Academy Award-winning actress.
They'd met when he first had heard the rumours about a biopic of Queen being made. Instantly, Ben had gone to the closest studio to his London apartment to meet up with the person that would be his drumming teacher when he'd walked into someone, literally making the person fall on their ass.
"Holy, shit! I'm so so sor-" but he stopped mid-sentence seeing the one the only Y/N Y/L/N brush off the dust from her jeans.
" 'S fine. Should've been watching where I was going anyway." She looked up only to see two big green eyes and a wide goofy grin.
"You're Y/N Y/L/N."
The girl chuckled extending a hand. "And you're Ben Hardy."
He started nervously laughing. "You know who I am." On the inside he was feeling like a child on Christmas, the giddiness almost making him bounce on his feet.
"I do," she smirked before walking around the man and towards the exit of the studio. "And if what I've heard from Rog and Bri is true, I'll be seeing you around. Top candidate for the role of mister Taylor and all."
Ben stood there, in the middle of the hallway, a dumb grin stretched across his face until his drum teacher clapped down on his shoulder, bringing the man back to reality.
"You look happy."
"I just met Y/N Y/L/N."
"Ah," his teacher smiled, leading them to the practice studio. "Well, then you might want to keep your fangirling on the inside. You'll be seeing her a lot around here."
And he had. She was there to record another album while Westworld was on break, her playing one of the main characters and all before she went back to LA to start filming.
But it was three months down the line they had formed something akin to a friendship. It was the middle of the night, when he'd seen her again, tears streaming down her face as she stormed inside the studio and suddenly, she had screamed.
Ben was by the drums, trying to memorize the beats to 'Another One Bites the Dust' when the loud yell had scared him. Instantly, he was out of the recording booth and saw a hunched over form sobbing in her hands.
"Are you alright?" he wanted to smack himself the moment those words left his mouth. Of course, she wasn't alright. No one cries like that when everything is good.
"I- yeah," Y/N said, wiping a tear away. "What are you doing here anyway? It's past one o'clock already."
"Practicing," Ben said, and she just nodded. Slowly he made his way next to the couch and sat down beside her. "Do you wanna talk about it?"
Y/N shook her head and rested her cheek against his shoulder. "Just hold me, please."
So, he did. He wrapped both his arms around the girl and hugged her. Together they laid down on the sofa and fell asleep. After that incident, they became closer and closer until the man finally gathered the courage and asked her out for a coffee. The smile she had given him had made his heart stop.
Ben was so far back into the memories of how he'd met the girl and had fallen in love with the talented human being, it was when she said words he never expected to hear, that brought him back.
"You know, if things had been different, it wouldn't be me and Ben here together, but me and your lead singer," she pointed at Rami with her chin, who chuckled at that.
That threw Ben for a loop. Of course, he'd heard the rumours of the two stars of Night at the Museum hitting it off behind the scenes as well, but never did he think it was true. Media always liked to speculate. When the two had started filming the first movie, tabloids absolutely loved writing that the actors who played the love interests in the movie had a romance of their own going on off stage.
Instant jealousy rippled through his veins as he looked at Rami, who had his own hand on Lucy's knee, her eyes wide and looking back and forth between the two.
"And what happened?" she asked. Ben felt Y/N shrug.
"I don't know. I think we kinda decided to try it out because everyone else was saying how good we looked together, how great the chemistry was and blah blah blah. But as the 'relationship'," Y/N put the word in air quotes with her fingers, "progressed, it just didn't feel natural. It felt like I was dating my best friend, but not in a good way."
Rami nodded along, looking off into the distance. "We tried to see what everyone else saw, but ultimately it was not what either of us wanted or needed. And honestly, I know you feel the same Y/N, so I'm just gonna say it- kissing you off-set was the weirdest fucking thing ever. I think that is why it took us until the third one to actually do anything. Just the thought of you that way made me feel weird."
Her loud laugh echoed through the trailer, but Ben couldn't stop thinking about the new revelation. She had been together with Rami. Not for long and neither seemed to have enjoyed that kind of a relationship, but still. It was a pretty big thing Y/N had kept from him and the actor didn't like it.
Of course, he realized how unfair he was being towards the two, all of that having happened years ago, but when you're surrounded by the glitz and glam so much, it's hard to sometimes distinguish what is real and it makes you question things.
"Don't take this wrong, Rami, but even if we had ended up having something serious, it wouldn't have lasted long."
"Yeah," the man nodded and looked down at Lucy with the same fond smile Y/N looked up at Ben.
"Why's that?" the blond asked, uncertainty in his eyes. Y/N seeing this sighed and slid a palm to cup his cheek.
"Because I found love in you. And I could not fathom being with someone who doesn't own my heart."
There was an audible 'aww' from Gwil and Allen, but Joe scoffed, playfully rolling his eyes. The bromance between the two was one of Y/N's favourite things as Ben always sent her funny snaps and Instagram messages of the two goofing around.
"Gross," he muttered and the trailer was overtaken by laughter.
