Crossing The Line [MEWGULF FIC]

CHAPTER 2

They had exchanged numbers after hearing the good news that they were the two to be picked. As the days went by they heard news of other castings until everything was finally complete. They were ready to have the first workshop.

Workshops were important. It helped the actors build chemistry to hopefully avoid any on-screen awkwardness. It also gave the actors an opportunity to get to know each other better.

Mew knew all about workshops. He went through a ton of them during his last show experience. Reflecting back on it, he realized that could've been the start of where all had gone wrong. This time he would do it differently.

Gulf had no experience in this area, and truly didn't know what to expect. He had mustered the courage to text Mew a few times with some questions, and of course Mew was nice enough to give him proper responses while comforting his nerves.

The two went in with different mindsets surely. And it made for an interesting first workshop to say the least.

They decided to go over some of the earlier scenes in the show, because the directors and author felt that if they could handle the feelings of hate between each other, the love will come just as naturally.

Mew was shocked at how amazing Gulf was when acting so cruel as Type. He was such a nice guy who seemed as though he could never hurt a fly, but when he got into character boy did he seem like he could do some damage.

Tharn was not so different from Mew himself. Maybe that was what made it so hard for Mew to truly understand the character. It was frustrating him nonetheless.

Yes, the chemistry was there. But there was something off and Mew was not the only one to notice...

"Hey Mew, is there something wrong?" The director was the first one to speak up about the odd feeling in the room.

"I just can't seem to get into character 100% I don't know why...I just don't truly understand Tharn"

It was obvious to everyone around that Mew was frustrated.

"Let's have a break everyone!"

The director came over to Mew and Gulf, and talked to them together.

"You guys are doing great, really I mean it. This is an amazing first workshop and you guys have made great progress! It's okay if you don't truly feel for the character right away...we still have plenty more to do!"

The words were comforting for Mew, and Gulf as well though Gulf had already felt as though he clicked with his character.

Mew realized the director was right. It was just the first workshop! He shouldn't be so concerned...

But after 4 workshops...maybe he should be.
