POV Mew

It still felt like a dream.

He got selected. For Tharn's role. The main character.

Mew had to pinch himself to prove he wasn't dreaming.

This kind of thing didn't happen to him. Not lately. But somehow, MAME and the crew saw something in him that made them give him a chance.

A chance he was going to protect with fangs and claws. He wouldn't let the same thing happen twice. He was going to be professional and do what he had to do to make the series a success.

He still needed to talk to his co-actor.

That thought made him think about Gulf.

He was the one that was selected to be Type. And Mew would be lying if he said he didn't felt his heart make a jump inside of him when he heard that.

- Who did you feel more comfortable with while acting Mew? - MAME had asked him before giving out the results.

- Umm.. - Mew thought about it. Most of the guys that auditioned with him, just made him feel judged and bad about himself... except one - N'Gulf khrub.

He didn't know if that answer was why Gulf got the main as well. He didn't think so, as Gulf turned out to be a really good actor from his perspective. Maybe they liked their chemistry.

The fact that Gulf seemed excited to work with him, instead of resigned, calmed his fears a little bit. One of the reasons why he didn't audition for main roles anymore, was because finding a partner that felt comfortable with him was really difficult.

- Phi! P'Mew khrub! - Mew heard more than saw Gulf approaching him with a bright smile - Congrats! I heard you got Tharn's role.

- Yes I did - Mew said a little more excited - and you got Type's - MAME had told him before he left the room.

- I'm really excited to work with you, Phi - Gulf said almost bouncing in his feet.

- Really?

- Khrub, Phi. I know you are really experienced in this industry, and I want to learn a lot from you - Gulf said innocently.

Mew just looked at him. Was he for real? Mew had thought that Nong would at least google him or something.

Did he really doesn't know about him? Or was he just trying to ignore it for the grace of his first big role?

- Umm... - Mew didn't know how to answer that.

- You somehow made me feel comfortable when we auditioned, and shy. Really shy. That didn't happen with the other guys I auditioned with - Gulf had said while blushing a little bit - That's why I told MAME I wanted to do this series with you.

Mew held his breath for a moment. He couldn't believe what this cute nong was saying to him. Did they really choose each other?

- I'm excited to work with you too, N'Gulf. Let's do our best so this series is a success - Mew said a little more calmed and focused.

Mew wasn't going to let the same thing happen twice... Same thought. Now he was repeating himself.

For this job, he was going to put limits and draw lines between Gulf and himself. He was going to have to touch him, that's obvious. They needed to be comfortable with each other enough to make the scenes believable and natural. But other than that, Mew wasn't going to touch N'Gulf at all. He didn't want Gulf thinking weird things. He was going to be extra careful with him, and everything would be fine.
