Confessions and Cosmic Characters

Rehearsal goes better than you expected, given the fact that you were really nervous around a certain shapeshifter.

  But after rehearsal is over and everyone else has left, Double Trouble is still there.

  They seemed to be fiddling with their hands, which seemed rather out of character for them.

  For a second you wonder if they're so deep into their role that they're adopting the nervous habits of the neurotic-at-times Captain Starstreak.

  Then they speak.

"Y/N, can I talk to you about something?" They ask, a bit of nervousness creeping into their voice. Something was making the usually-smug actrex lose their composure. You wondered what it could be.

"Is it about the play?" You ask, your mouth suddenly dry. They chuckle nervously. "Are you feeling okay?" You add.

"No it's not about the play, and I'm fine, are you okay?" They respond, concerned. "You seem really nervous."

"I... do?" Sometimes you forgot how perceptive they were when it came to the emotions of other people.

"Yeah, well anyway, there's something I'd like to tell you, but I guess I'm scared of the repercussions." They respond, barely looking you in the eye.

"What repercussions? Whatever it is, you can tell me, I won't judge." You state carefully, still curious.

"I think you're really cute and I-uh kinda have a crush on you." They confessed, blinking rapidly.

"I'm sorry if that made you uncomfortable but that's what I wanted to tell you. It didn't seem like you were taking any of my hints that I liked you, so..." They start to turn around to walk away.

"Wait, DT!" You call. They turn around, nervous again.

"What is it, Y/N?" Their voice seemed somewhat devoid of energy.

"I like you too-that way, I have a crush on you too, Double Trouble." You stutter through your reply.

"Really?" Their eyes light up, and some of that confidence returns to their voice. They look into your eyes.

"Yeah."

"Can I hug you?" They ask softly.

"Yes." You hold your arms out, and they embrace you, holding you tight but not so much that it hampers your breathing.

  Then at one point, you feel something change. DT has shapeshifted into you. You laugh.

"Double Trouble!" You whine, "why?"

"Fine, fine." They reply with a grin, then shift back into their usual reptilian self.

"Do want to kiss?" You venture, still hugging them.

"Sure, Y/N." They say, kissing you on the cheek then leaning towards you.

Then their lips are on yours, and you feel like you're going to explode from all the emotion coursing through your veins.

After a moment, the two of you pull apart, and DT whispers "And scene.", smiling softly.

You chuckle, and smile back at them, the kiss still replaying in your head like a scene on infinite loop.

"So, do you wanna go on a date sometime?" They ask.

"Of course I do!" You reply, hardly able to contain your excitement.

"Does Friday at 6 PM work for you?" They ask, a smile playing on their lips.

"Yeah. That works." You reply, unable to stop smiling.

"How about we go to the park?" They ask.

"Sure, darling." You reply with a grin.

"Hey, that's my thing!" They exclaim in mock offense. "Darling, see you next rehearsal." They added congenially.

"See you." You reply, watching them for a bit as they walk off with their script. You almost forget your copy, then retrieve it from atop a desk.
