Bill Hader

Sugar

I had been working at snl for about a month now as an assistant on set and I fucking love it, I've always wanted to work at snl as anything I could be, just to be there was enough.

Making friends was quite easy, the other set assistants were nice and we worked together well. I became quite popular amongst some of actors, they even said I was funny enough to act on some of the skits which I laughed at because I knew I would be too nervous to ever do that. One of the actors I had become closest to was bill - he was so sweet and funny which started a little crush I had for him, I knew I couldn't let it get in the way of my work though because if I was planning to be successful I couldn't let crushes get in the way of that. Until one day... One day that I will never forget.

Vanessa had gotten sick this week so there wasn't enough actors for the vogelcheck sketch and in a meeting about it my friend aidy, and although I love her- I hate her for this said to lorne that i would be good enough to stand in.
"I think y/n would be pretty good at that role" aidy said
"wha- no I can't act, I'll ruin it - surely someone else could stand in" I stuttered giving aidy a glance before returning my eyes back to lorne
"sure you can act, we've all told you, you can and besides it's only one sketch" bill interrupted, looking me in the eye with a kind but mischievous smile,i looked at him a little too bitchy but I couldn't help it I just can't embarrass myself like this
"I'm sorry y/n but theres no one else, look, I'm sure you'll be fine, it's only a small part!" lorne said with a smile
"fine, I'll do it" I huffed to the group, its not worth arguing with this lot
"yay!" bill yelped like a child and lifted me off the ground , aidy laughed as I squealed ,this was going to be a long week.

//time skip a couple days//

It was table read day and i was sat next to Bill who has been acting quite different lately, ever since I agreed to be on the sketch he has been way more touchy and flirty, I always thought that it was me who had the crush but now I was wondering if he did aswell. I mean he did look into my eyes when he smiled or talked to me which did give me butterflies but he's always been a friend since I've known him, it's just this week he's been so different - but I gotta be honest, I kinda like it.

As the group was going through the last couple sketches I suddenly felt a large hand rest on my knee, I turned my head to see bill reading his script with a light smirk on his face, are you fucking kidding me?! I thought, I didn't know how to react but his touch felt so good. his fingers stroked my knee lightly and his hand travelled up from my knee to my thigh-which took me by surprise, thank god no one noticed my sudden change in attitude , bill's smirk grew as he squeezed my inner thigh lightly causing me to gasp lightly but I covered it up my pretending to cough,I don't know where this is going but I saw someone look up from their script so I know this isn't entirely secretive. I bit my lip as he moved his hand up and down.His smirk was growing as I tried to focus on what was happening around me but I couldn't stop thinking about bill touching me, it felt so good but it had to stop as Fred asked me if I was ok
"you alright y/n?"
"yeah I'm fine" I quickly replied with a smile
He nodded and carried on talking to the rest of the group-from this interaction I knew I needed this to stop so I gently grabbed bills hand and moved it away from my leg, I think he understood why I did it because he looked at me and smiled raising his eyebrows, I smiled back with a look of amusement but inside I was quite flustered.

The reading ended and soon the rest of the day did, I said goodbye to my friends with bill no where to be seen but I knew I would see him tomorrow, so left without making a fuss to find him. As I was walking back home I heard a familiar voice from behind me
"hey y/n! Wait!" it was bill running behind me, I stopped in my tracks and waited for him to reach me, panting he said "hey"
"hey" I replied, I remembered that he lived relatively near me and we sometimes walk back together so that's why he was here
"why did you go so early?" he said through his breaths
"there was nothing left for me to do so I didn't have to stay as late as I usually do" I replied laughing slightly at his curiosity
"could you at least tried to wait for me? " he said raising his eyebrows
"I couldn't find you! And I was not prepared to search for you" I said
"fair enough, well I'm glad I caught up with you" he panted
"well I was starting to get lonely so thank you for saving the day" I said jokingly
"no problem sugar" he said smoothly
"sugar?" I laughed, taken aback by his change in tone
"cos your so sweet" he answered looking into my eyes
"nice, very smooth" I sarcastically said.
After talking about our day and finishing the conversation with roman polanski for some reason,we finally got to my apartment, i turned to bill to say goodbye but before I could say anything he kissed my cheek lightly which surprised me a little as I looked at him "goodnight sugar" he smiled at me sweetly, opening my door and stepping in I replied  "goodnight, bill" and closed it, as I did so I could see bill turn away but I  could feel the smile on his face. That night all I could think about was Bill and his stupid nicknames and little smile, which as fun as it was, made sleeping very difficult.this was going to be a long week.
