~Six months later~

"Tom, slow down!" I laughed, making Tom return it as he ran through the set, pushing me along in a shopping trolley as he did.

"NEVER!" He yelled back, my hands clutching my stomach out of laughter. He raced us towards a pair of double doors, making my eyes widen as they opened to reveal the Russo Brothers.

"Shit." Tom gulped as he abruptly stopped the trolley just before we hit them.

"Good to see that you guys are getting on as well as ever." Anthony chuckled, making us smile sheepishly as they walked away.

"That was a close one." Tom admitted, the smiles still on our lips as I stood up in the trolley.

"Yeah, too close." I chuckled as Tom wrapped one arm around my back and the other arm under my legs, my arms hugging his neck as he lifted me bridal style out of the shopping trolley.

"It would have been fine." he shrugged. I jokingly rolled my eyes and slapped his chest as we headed back towards his trailer for lunch. We'd been on the set of "Cherry" for six months now and Tom and I had grown closer with every interaction. And there were a lot of them, since we practically spent every single second of every single day together. I had been right about there being a spark between us, as Tom had also admitted to feeling connected to me after only a couple of weeks. And yet still somehow, nothing more than friendship had happened. It sucked because I had completely fallen for Tom by this point, and I didn't want our first kiss and intimate moment to be in front of the camera when we finally had to do that dreaded scene. I had a feeling it would be, though.

"What do you fancy for lunch?" Tom asked as we got into his trailer and I immediately sat down on the sofa.

"Do you have any more of those noodles that Sam sent you? They were amazing." I sighed in bliss.

"No, you ate the last of them last week." he chuckled.

"Shit, sorry, Tommy." I gulped.

"It's okay, I don't mind." he reassured, making me bite my lip and smile as he sat next to me and put his arm around me. I gulped and looked at him, his gaze flicking to my lips.

"Tom, can I be honest with you about something?" I asked quietly. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Yeah, of course you can be." he nodded. I gulped, my heart starting to pound as we looked into each other's eyes.

"I...I think that I love-."

"Tom, we need to talk-oh, Y/N's here too, great." I looked up and sighed internally as the Russo Brothers walked in.

"What's up?" Tom smiled, his arm still around me.

"So, when you two first met, we told you that we'd give you time to become close enough for the intimate scene to be as non-awkward as possible. Especially considering how you're sitting right now, we think that you're ready to do the scene." Joseph nodded. My eyes widened slightly and I gulped as I looked at Tom.

"You think that you're ready, darling?" he asked, concern in his eyes. I sighed and bit my lip.

"I have to do it eventually. May as well get it over and done with." I nodded.

"Try not to sound quite so upset that you'll have to kiss me." he teased, making me roll my eyes playfully and lightly slap my hand against his chest.

"Alright then. It's scheduled for this time tomorrow. Both of you report to wardrobe about ten minutes in advance to get undressed and get dressing gowns on." Anthony nodded.

"Understood." Tom smiled, making the brothers nod again before leaving. I gulped, nerves now filling my stomach as Tom looked at me.

"You alright, Y/N?" he asked, making me gulp again and look at him.

"Y-yeah, it's just butterflies. I'll be fine once we're actually doing it." I chuckled nervously.

"You mean that you'll be fine when you're kissing me." he smirked. Yes, I thought as I jokingly rolled my eyes.

"Don't flatter yourself so much, Tommy." I teased, making him laugh as we stood up and headed out of his trailer to find some food.

I stood at the side of the set for the bedroom, nervously biting my nails and hugging my robe impossibly close around my body as I waited for things to start.

"Hey." I looked to my side and gave Tom a small smile as he walked towards me, his body also clad in a robe.

"Hey." I responded nervously.

"It'll be okay, love. It's just a few kisses, a few neck kisses, implied stuff, nothing too out there, yeah?" he reassured as he curled his arm around my waist and pulled me into his body. I sighed and looked up at him, trying to ignore the butterflies in my stomach from the way that he was holding me.

"Yeah, I just...it's the first scene that I've done, and it's with you, and that's making me nervous." I admitted. Tom looked at me with furrowed eyebrows.

"What do you mean that you're nervous because it's with me?" he asked. My eyes widened, my brain only just realising what I'd said as I looked up at him. I meant that I'm nervous because I actually want to fuck you, I don't just want to do it for a movie, I thought as I stared at him.

"Alright, can we have Tom and Y/N on set please!" Anthony yelled. I sighed in relief, actually grateful for Anthony starting the scene so that I could be taken out of the awkward question. Tom and I walked up to the set, the rug on the floor of it feeling slightly scratchy on the soles of my bare feet.

"Okay, so this is what we've decided on. Tom, you're going to be on top of Y/N and you're going to be kissing. Move like you're having sex, but obviously you're not actually. Few neck kisses, few moans, basically heavy implication without actually seeing anything. You two got it?" Joseph asked.

"I think so." I nodded.

"Yeah, we're good." Tom returned my nod, making me smile slightly as he slipped his hand into mine and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"Okay, positions then, please." Joseph nodded. Tom took his robe off and chucked it off of the set, making me gulp as I saw his body. He was completely naked apart from a pair of tight-fitting boxers. And my god, he looked godly.

"Remember that I have you. You'll be okay." he mumbled in my ear, making me nod and give him a small smile as he sat down on the bed. I took a deep breath before taking my robe off, leaving me in just my panties. My heart pounded in my chest as I followed Tom's actions of chucking my robe off of the set before sitting down on the bed next to him.

"You ready for this?" he chuckled nervously.

"I'm afraid that if we don't do it right now, I'll chicken out, and running out of the warehouse in nothing but underwear is subjectively a lot worse than having to film a sex scene with you." I nodded, making him laugh and return the nod. The sound of his laughter reassured me slightly, somehow making me more ready for what we were about to do. I lay down on the bed, Tom positioning himself so that he was on top of me, lying in between my legs and so that the white sheets were covering his boxers and therefore implying that he was naked.

"You okay?" he double-checked, making me gulp and nod.

"Like you said, you've got me." I replied as I forced a smile onto my lips. He returned it and nodded.

"And...action!" Joseph yelled. Immediately Tom leant down and joined our lips, me quickly returning the kiss as I curled my hands around his neck and pulled him closer. My heart pounded against my chest, fireworks going off in my mind from the moment that he had kissed me. I couldn't help but smile, making Tom smirk as he deepened the kiss and slipped his tongue into my mouth. We made out happily, my body starting to struggle to control itself as I fought the urge to wrap my legs around his waist and pull him closer to me.

"Okay, can we get some hip movements and neck kisses, please!" Anthony yelled. Tom started jutting his hips against mine, making me breathe out at the feeling as he pretended to fuck me. After all, he may have only been pretending and there may have been two layers of fabric between our most sensitive areas, but I could still feel him in all of his glory. Not that I was complaining. Tom broke the kiss and moved his lips down to my neck, making my eyes flutter shut and pull him closer as he left open-mouthed kisses on my neck.

"Fuck, T-Nico." I moaned, making him smirk against my neck as I almost let his name slip instead of the name of his character. Shit. If that hadn't given me away, I didn't know what would. Tom raised his head and joined our lips again, this kiss just as intense as it had been the first time around. I pulled on the curls at the nape of his neck, making him moan quietly into my mouth.

And...cut!" Anthony yelled. Tom reluctantly broke the kiss, slowly peeling his lips off of mine before hovering them over them instead. I gulped and looked at him, making him chuckle and give me a small smile.

"Well done. You were amazing." he smiled.

"So were you." I nodded, making him chuckle as we sat up. I curled into myself, making Tom look at me.

"You okay?" he asked.

"Y-yeah, I just don't really need the entire crew seeing my boobs twice." I chuckled nervously.

"Oh, okay, I got you." he nodded. My heart fluttered as he pulled me into his body, shielding my naked chest from view with his back.

"Can we get Y/N's robe, please!" he yelled, nodding a thanks to a member of a crew as he got handed my robe.

"Here you go." he nodded as he gently wrapped it around me.

"Thank you, Tommy. I appreciate it." I smiled. He returned it and nodded, his gaze on my lips as he also put his robe back on.

"Well, that was slightly less awkward than what I was prepared for." I chuckled, Tom and I now both fully dressed again as we got into his trailer.

"Yeah, it was good. We should totally do that more often." he teased, making me playfully roll my eyes at him as we sat down on his sofa.

Oh, yeah, we so should." I nodded as I carried on the joke. Tom laughed and returned the nod before just looking at me.

"What if we actually did?" he asked, looking at me intently as he rested his elbow on the back of the sofa and rested his head against his hand. My eyebrows furrowed. Was he saying what I thought that he was?

"What do you mean? We don't have any more intimate scenes, Tommy." I chuckled nervously. He returned it and nodded as he looked down and played with the fabric of the sofa cushion.

"I know, but I don't mean for scenes...I meant, like, doing that normally because we'd, well...be together and so...would have actual sex." he admitted. My eyes widened.

"Tommy, are you asking me out?" I gulped. He looked back at me.

"Fuck it, yeah, I am. I felt a connection between us from the moment that we met. At first, I thought that it was just a friendship connection, but it's really not. I've fallen for you, Y/N. And when we started kissing, fuck me. I felt such a spark and I know that you did too. I don't want that to go just because we've now done the intimate scene." he scoffed and shook his head. I stared at him with wide eyes, my brain trying to comprehend what was happening. Tom had just admitted that he felt the same way as I did. He was in love with me. And I wasn't about to give that up. I gently took Tom's face into my hand, making him look at me. It's now or never, I thought as I leant in and pressed our lips together. His eyes widened but he returned it immediately, his hands cupping my waist and pulling me into him as he kissed back. I broke the kiss, my eyes fluttering back open as I looked at him.

"I'm guessing that you feel the same, then." he teased, making me chuckle as he smiled at me.

"I have since the moment that I met you. If you'll have me, I want you too, Tommy." I nodded.

"In that case, will you be my girlfriend? Because I want to do with you what we just pretended to do, just for real from now on." he smirked. I laughed and shook my head at him already flirting with me.

"I'd love that, Tommy. Both the sex and being your girlfriend." I returned. His smirk widened and he shook his head before leaning in and kissing me again.
