Three's A Crowd

Thirty | The Truth of (y/n) Celastiel & SHIELD's Undoing

(y/n)'s POV:

They decided to put the next scene behind a green screen instead, where Steve Rogers will drive both my character and Natasha Romanoff to New Jersey, also the place where we will discuss what happened two days ago, aka, the PDA stunt.

And my dumbass just had to call Sebastian because of it. It wasn't awkward between both me and Chris. Well... it was. It was awkward. I've never had to kiss one of my costars before. And guess what? I happened to not only kiss my costar, but kiss one of my best friends.

How does someone react to that!?

I mean, I know it's part of the job, it's what the public would not expect, it's something completely for their entertainment, but I'm still adjusting to that. I feel terrible that this is such a big deal for me.

I walk around in my clothes from the shoot two days ago, which consisted of a black slim fit top, a gray office jacket, light blue skinny jeans, and black, tie-up block heels, which, were actually my own shoes. Getting used to heels was... fun..? I guess. They make me taller, so that's fun.

"Hello?"

"Hey Sebby."

"Hey there (n/n). What's goin' on?"

"We just saw the final editing for that scene we shot at the Tower City Center, and... its uh, great. And they even showed us some of your scenes, which were amazing."

"Now... as much as I love hearing your voice and how fun you seem to be having without me, but this little ramble... it's givin' something away... so I'm guessing something happened. Didn't it?"

Of course he'd know something was off.

I gulped and twirled a strand of blonde and (h/c) hair around my finger, biting my lip. "Yeah... uh, something did."

"What's going on? I can head over right there if you need me."

I shook my head, completely forgetting he wasn't here. "I mean, no. Not at all... I just..." I paused. There was no sugarcoating the sentence, no disguising it as something else. I lick my lips. "Um... h-how do you approach a friend after doing a kissing scene with him..?"

"Wait... you kissed Chris?"

I blushed heavily, remembering the kiss. Well... kisses. Soft plump lips against mine, hesitant but forward, the slight movement felt like they were melting into mine, It was only moments before I felt the little tilt of his head, deepening the kiss. I bite my lip. "Um... y-yeah, it was for an undercover scene. It wasn't awkward but, uh, we had to do it like, three times and... I dunno! Ugh... we wrapped it up there and I had no idea how to approach him after. Last two days were training with you and Scarlett, and I... I really had been avoiding him and he probably thinks I hate him."

"Oh sweetheart..." Sebastian says softly. I sigh and fall back into a nearby chair, tilting my head up to the ceiling. I shake my head, knowing fully well that this shouldn't have been such a big deal. Maybe I was being over dramatic..?

"I just... I dunno..." I huffed, running a hand through my hair. "I don't know what to do..."

"Hey... I've kissed dozens of my costars too. You just... have fun with it, you center all the emotions for that scene in the kiss and... don't think into it too much. Besides, it's Chris. Cuddle him up and he'll forgive you for ignoring him in a second."

"Seb..." I start.

"He's a softie Cat. Besides, it's alright for you to be worked up about it." Sebastian says softly. "Not only is Chris one of your best friends, but he's your first kiss on the big screen. Honey, it's okay to be this nervous and unsure."
