"PETER, I DON'T know what's going on with you, but I suggest you figure it out." You spoke, tears welling into your eyes.

You had been trying for years to get into an acting career, a simple one, at the least. It started out with little background characters, and now you had just recently been cast for the role a love interest, for one of the most amazing superheroes.

The director called cut, and you wiped your fake tears off of your cheeks. Starting to laugh, you strolled over to the snack table, desperately needing a little sugar in your system. After over fourteen hours of filming, your body was completely worn out. And due to your sleepiness, two of you often got your scenes wrong, causing constant retakes.

"That's it for tonight!" John yelled, smiling at you and Tom.

You laughed, shoving a cookie in your mouth. "Thank God. I cannot wait to go home and sleep!" You yelled a little too loudly, earning a few chuckles from cast mates and staff members.

As soon as you turned around, your gaze met with Tom's, his eyes filled with stars and vibrant colors. His lips were starting to curve upwards when he noticed you looking back at him. You politely returned the smile, slightly creeped out that he was staring at you in the same place for the past few minutes.

When you picked up your backpack from your name engraved chair, you noticed how Tom had come closer to you by a few feet. You absolutely loved having him as a best friend and co-star, but you had never seen him act this way before.

"Tom?" Your statement came out as a question.

He shook his head as if he was getting out of a trance. On (aware) sight of you, he smiled, walking over to you. "What's up?"

Your eyebrows furrowed together in confusion. Not even five minutes ago, he was staring at you with stars in your eyes. How had he forgotten in a mere few minutes?

"Uh," you thought for a minute. You couldn't just bluntly ask him why he was staring at you. "You should totally try these brownies."

For a minute, you swore that you could see his smile falter and fade away. He quickly grabbed a brownie and scarfed it down, leaving you wondering what the hell was wrong with the man.

"Yoph wheian go phona datchw wif me?" He spoke, brownie crumbs occasionally falling out of his mouth.

You rolled your eyes. "Tom, I'm going to need you to actually make words."

Tom held up his pointer finger at you, signaling for you to give him a minute to digest the brownie before he started choking. Smiling, you started to look around and noticed you two were really the only ones left in the room.

"Will. You... go on a date wi-with me?" Tom whispered, failing to look you in the eyes.

"I'd love to." You grinned. "Call me!"

Starting to walk away, you stopped when Tom called you back. "Y/n! I don't have your number!"

You let out a little laugh, you found it humorous how forgetful he was.

"I gave you my number months ago, Holland, you cutie."
