Crush - Marie Avgeropoulos (The 100)

Requested : "I'm part of The 100 and I play Kyanna Miller (Nathan Miller's twin) and my character dates Octavia. Also I have a crush on Marie, so Richard (Murphy) and Jarod (Miller) help me ask her out.

"I don't know what it's like to be the girl under the floor, I'll admit that. But I do know what it's like to be the unwanted and forgotten sibling and I know how lonely that can be." I tucked a piece of hair behind her ear as I looked into her eyes. "If anyone here understands what you're going through, Octavia, it's me."

She was quiet for a moment, just searching my eyes almost as if she would catch a glimmer of dishonesty. But, she never did. And so she decided, right then and there, that she was going to give herself up to me.

She leaned in first, grabbing my face in her hands. My heart started to beat quickly in my chest when I slowly leaned down to meet her. It was hesitant at first, but she finally gave up her endless fight and let her lips melt into mine.

I was trying my hardest to stay in character, reminding myself that this was all part of the script, but it was so hard not to let myself drown in this moment of bliss. Here I was, kissing my costar, Marie Avgeropoulos, who also happens to be my longtime crush, yet it was all for the wrong reasons. Just as I was starting to think that this kiss meant something more to her, she backed away and the director yelled "cut!"

It snapped me out of my daze and I looked down at the floor, embarrassed. I had waited so long to kiss the girl of my dreams and now that I finally have, I felt empty. During the kiss I was so convinced it was real and I began to feel something more for Marie. In that moment, she wasn't just a stupid, childish crush anymore, she was someone I had genuine feelings for. Then it ended and she pulled away, the kiss, most likely, not meaning a single thing to her but rather being a part of her job as an actress. And, damn was she good at acting: she had me convinced.

The rest of the day went by slowly and I found it hard to keep up the optimistic mood that my character was supposed to possess. To top it all off, I had to spend most, if not all, of the time on screen right next to Marie. She was being clingy, too: grabbing onto my arm, holding my hand, hugging me. I would've thought something out of it, but I figured she was just playing up the part of our characters being in love. In a way, I really envied my character, Kyanna. She was able to freely show her love for Octavia without being judged and she was brave enough to admit her feelings. Now, only if I could be, too.

After shooting was done for the day, I began walking back to my trailer, just ready to eat something and sleep for the rest of the night. However, I couldn't be so lucky.

"Hey, wait up!" I heard Richard yell from a distance. Since I was only walking, he caught up easily and stood in front of me. "Some of the crew is going out to dinner tonight, I figured I would be nice for once and invite you." He tried to smile like he was acting kind but it came out as more of a grimace. I wanted to smile back and laugh and accept his kind invitation, I really did. But, instead, the pain in my chest made me frown and the anxiety of seeing Marie at dinner caused me to shake my head.

Richard wasn't necessarily the guy to get serious and help you with your problems, but something tonight was different. Maybe it was the fact that Jarod joined his side and immediately seemed worried, but he actually looked concerned. "What's wrong?" Jarod asked, sensing my mood change.

"Yeah, Y/N. We know something's wrong when you turn down food." Richard added, trying to lighten the mood, as usual.

"I don't know, I'm just tired. That's all." I answered vaguely, hoping they'd go away with that. But, of course, with them being the caring (or nosy) people that they are, they wouldn't leave.
