Breathe (Part 1)

Florian Munteanu x Tessa Thompson

Summary: Feelings are brought to the surface between Tessa and Florian during the press tour for Creed II and it’s about time they were addressed.

Warnings: fluff, smut

Note: I’m honestly so proud of myself for finishing this and getting this up today cause ya girl was feeling so overwhelmed recently. But we’re doing better now!

——————————————————————————

Tessa was actually a little shocked at how much she had missed Florian since the day Creed II had wrapped but press for the movie had begun and here she was, genuinely happy to see him again.

She tried writing it off as coming from the bond she’d made with him on set, kind of like the one she and Michael had, nobody denied the chemistry between them but with Florian it felt heightened.

All of them were friends and despite how the internet came to ship Tessa and Mike so hard, both of them were just very close friends. And that’s where Florian came in to confuse things.

She thought it was the same situation with him but now she wasn’t so sure, something stirring in her as the first day of interviews began.

Seeing him again produced a deep rooted fluttering in her body. They had kept in contact since wrap day but seeing him in person was far better and seemed to quell the restlessness she’d been feeling for some time now.

The way his smile seemed to just brighten everything as he walked over to give her a hug, and the way his arms felt around her body so warm and inviting made her wanna hang onto him forever.

She remembered feeling flustered and a little scared the first time they met and she was surprised that she felt even more nervous now.

It just wasn’t like her to get nervous like this so easy, none of the previous men and women she was interested in before had ever gotten her this stumped but here was Florian, making her feel like a giddy teenager again.

And for Florian he could remember the exact moment he felt his interest spike about her. It was one of his second or third encounters with her, it was after hours of shooting fight scenes and him and Mike were supposed to swing by the studio and pick her up to go have dinner.

She wasn’t exactly ready to leave so they went inside and Florian was nearly put in a trance by what he heard and saw. Tessa sitting in the middle of one of the studio rooms, the bass from the music she was creating shaking the glass panes of the window slightly, and she was moving to the beat, headphones on, just feeling out what she had so far.

It was like he was put in a trance, watching her move her long braids to the side and then his heart nearly stopped when she opened her eyes, her gaze fixing on him immediately.

She kept moving for a second and the smiled at him, walking away to cut the track and gather her stuff.

If she was being honest when she was looking at him then, she knew she wanted him but was too intimidated by him to really let herself run with the thought.

It was only after getting to know him more and seeing how much of a teddy bear he actually was that she got comfortable and didn’t hold back in interacting with him.

He was really such a sweetheart, he had such a calm, gentle energy around him that made him so approachable and he reciprocated that attention back to her too, which didn’t help the crush that had formed.

They were both disappointed that they weren’t gonna be in any interviews together, which made sense they reasoned but at least they’d still be in the same room, just off to the side when it wasn’t their turn.

Florian kind of liked that set up better cause he was sure if he had an interview with her he wouldn’t be able to stop staring and he knew the internet would pick up on that immediately. His plans to break that barrier with her were on the quieter side.

She had a solo interview first so him and Mike were sitting on a couch across the room, free to take as much as they wanted from the tables set up with food.

Florian pretended to browse through his social media feed as she was asked questions but he was more focused on her than anything.

“So how scary is Florian Munteanu as Viktor Drago, from what we’ve seen in the trailers, he’s a pretty intimidating figure!”

Her little laughs filled the room and Florian’s eyes zoned in on her as she answered.

“Yeah, Florian is a very very very big human being but nah, he’s really such a kind, sweet person. He looks scary but he’s really not unless you’re afraid of large men who love pizza and ketchup!” she glanced at him briefly, trying to keep her smile level and polite but damn it was hard not to full on be cheesin.

Florian shook his head, his tongue darting out to lick his lips which wasn’t missed by Tessa.

A few more questions about her character and Adonis were asked before it came back around to Florian.

“What was it like having Florian and Dolph come into the already established ties you had from the first Creed?”

“Oh gosh! Well I mean Dolph is such a legend and he’s always felt connected to this story so he just kinda fell right in with us like it was nothing. Florian was the newbie here but you can tell why Sly hand picked him, that was clear right away,”

“He really brought such a level of dedication to the role, I mean he was away from home for 7 months and working so hard everyday and I really admired his work ethic. Plus that natural talent he just possesses was amazing to see and I learned a lot by just watching so yeah, he’s great! They’re both great people!”

She didn’t dare look in his direction this time.

That was a big insight into what she thought about him that she’d never really expressed outright to him.

Most of their interactions were light and goofy and she roasted him playfully all the time but this added another layer to things and it was a little nerve wracking to think about him knowing.

She wasn’t looking but Florian’s expression softened by her words. It was sincere and he appreciated her praise and if there was ever a time where he wanted to scoop her up and hold her more than ever it was now.

Her interview was up and now Mike was doing a solo one so she came to sit down in his place next to Flo.

“You look like a tomato, T!” he nudged her with his shoulder playfully, teasing her.

“Shut up! I do not oh my god.” she swatted his arm but did nothing to stop the smiling spreading across her face at the use of his nickname for her.

He leaned his head back against the couch, his legs placed wide, slouching comfortably.

His outfit was gonna kill her. White t shirt and jeans with that damn chain that seemed to make his sexiness go up a level. It was a simple outfit but he managed to make it mouth watering to her.

Things got quiet and Mike’s voice seemed to fade into the background for the both of them as they looked at each other intently.

“Have you always thought that about me?” it came out of him as a whisper, big green orbs looking up at her curiously, glinting with hope and something else she couldn’t quite place.

“Mhm, always have. You’re important to me and I’ve always seen your talent, right from the start.” she nodded her fingers brushing against his bicep ever so slightly.

—–

The rest of the day passed uneventfully, the same routine of questions and interviews and bouncing from venue to venue.

Florian couldn’t get her off his mind. He wanted more of her touch, more of her everything honestly and he was the kind of man that went after what he wanted, so he made a promise to himself that he was gonna shoot his shot.

He finally got his chance when he mentioned that he wanted to hear some of the music she’d created for the movie. The London premiere wasn’t for another week but she’d always shared bits of her music with him and didn’t object to letting him listen so he was invited to her apartment later that night.

He showed up just as the sun had set, the dark black of the shirt he’d changed into making the chains around his neck pop more.

She already had a few boxes of Chinese takeout set up on her coffee table and asked him if he wanted anything to drink as he got comfortable on her couch.

They drank and ate and made conversation for awhile, letting him take over the aux cord for awhile cause apparently Mike wanted him to put her onto some German artists.

Of course he did, funny how he didn’t come along either. She’d left the invitation open to him too, secretly hoping he’d say no and she was grateful he did because she really wanted to be alone with Flo.

They both knew Mike could totally tell there was some weird tension between you and it was slightly embarrassing that he seemed to encourage but at the same time you were glad he was being subtle about trying to get you and him together.

“Alright now let me hear what you got. I remember you telling me the title of one of them.” he handed her her phone back, his fingers coming into contact with hers, lingering just a little too long, distracting her enough to where she almost let go of the phone.

Damn him.

“Mhm, here, close your eyes. It’s better that way.” she bit her lip, finger trembling just a little over the play button because though he didn’t know it, this song was very much about him and inspired by him.

She pressed play and the sound of her voice flooded the room, the back of Florian’s neck breaking out into goosebumps.

She sounded like an angel, the tone and pitch of her voice filling his senses, just as soothing and beautiful as ever.

He was always in awe of how she managed to create something that sounded like that and was proud that all her hard work was paying off. He remembered that she would spend 10 hours and more a day in the studio writing and mixing and scraping ideas and putting things together and it was one of the things that made him fall for her.

Not only did she act and have to deliver as Bianca but she was writing music on top of that and he thought she was incredible and gifted.

He made sure to really listen to the words, try and figure out who or what she was singing about and he didn’t wanna jump to conclusions but he just had a hunch that it was about him.

He felt a little arrogant in thinking that, it was of course for the movie but something about it felt like this was made for the two of them.

Her voice stopped and the instrumentals took the forefront of the song, the sound deep, piano accenting the tone.

She was nervously biting the inside of her cheek but stopped when his eyes opened, gaze set upon her.

“You wrote this thinking about me, didn’t you?” the softness in his voice took away some of her fear despite being shocked by the boldness of his question.

But then again, he was never one to beat around the bush with anything.

Nodding slowly, she didn’t stop him when he moved towards her, the beat of the song dropping just as his arms circled around her waist, pulling her in.

Tessa could barely breathe, her heart pounding against her ribcage as his soft pink lips captured hers in a heated kiss.

Her arms reached up to wrap around the back of his neck and she appreciated how he bent down a little so she wasn’t on her tiptoes so much.

The music seemed to get louder as they kissed, his beard tickling her just a little which made her smile, their bodies pressed against each other.

The kiss was so needy and lustful but they were both holding back, though the slight whimpers leaving her mouth weren’t helping Florian’s self control one bit.

It was funny that the idea for the song came from thinking about kissing him and not being near him as much as she wanted and now they were feverishly kissing to the exact same song, even way past when it stopped playing.

It was like every ounce of pent of need to say that they liked each other was coming out and neither of them minded.

The way he smelled filled her nostrils as his lips worked against hers. And the way his hands gripped her waist made her feel so small but protected, she wanted to stay like this forever if it was possible.

Not sure of how much time had passed, they both parted for longer than a few seconds this time, air washing over their lungs.

She hadn’t even realized that he had backed her up against a wall but she was happy to be pinned there, his heavy breathing and hers the only thing she could focus on right now.

His lips were even more pink than before and a bit swollen which made her laugh, her hand coming up to run over his scruffy cheek.

He leaned into her touch, smiling because he was coming back down to Earth and that was the best decision he’d ever made and was glad she wanted it too.

“Do you know how long I’ve been wanting to do that?’ he leaned in again to press his forehead against hers, finding it cute how small she was compared to him.

“Trust me, I know exactly what you mean.”

—-

The rest of the press tour felt like such a breeze after that night, things were just so much more chilled now that it was out in the open. Flirting with each other was difficult to keep on the low just because it was so natural to do but there was always time alone to makeout and just be in each other’s company.

Finally the big day of the London premiere for Creed II had arrived and most of the day had been spent getting ready.

Tessa wasn’t expecting to feel so shaken by the way Florian was dressed but she was in fact having a difficult time not putting her hands all over him.

He was wearing a gray suit, black turtleneck and the chains made an appearance yet again and it was driving her crazy.

He looked so cool and sexy, the icy gray of the suit worked so well with the black of his turtleneck. It was actually infuriating how he just seemed to pull off any look.

She especially wasn’t prepared when she was posing for the photographers and he popped up into view behind her.

He leaned in, their cheeks touching and it made her giggle, her hand coming up to cup his other cheek.

Man he was charming, respectful and at a distance but charming nonetheless and she knew the meaning behind the gesture.

“You look beautiful, T. Our colors look good together.” he whispered slyly, the deepness of his voice making her shiver.

He was right about the colors, the green of her dress paired with his gray and black really seemed to go together.

“Aww thank you, handsome.” she beamed happily up at him, heart still racing that he was this close and intimate with her.

They finished the rest of the red carpet and the interviews there before going inside for a Q and A event with the cast before the movie.

Dolph was put in between her and Florian but she was almost grateful for it because she had too much giddy and nervous energy to be sitting next to him and not have that noticed.

The host of the panel asked them all questions and when it came to Florian’s, of course the crowd went wild.

She couldn’t blame him, if you’ve never heard his voice before it was certainly one to make you stop and make him wanna repeat whatever was just said.

“First of all, what’s up London?” he sounded as sultry and hot as ever, the noise from the crowd making everybody on the stage laugh.

“It’s that voice man, that voice!” Mike shook his head, knowing full well that was about to happen.

“That’s why they call me Big Nasty.” Florian spoke into the microphone and Tessa could feel her entire core clench.

Now he was just milking it and she could have sworn he looked her for a moment when he said it too but she couldn’t think about that too hard or she’d start sweating.

Her mouth dropped open, the crowd going crazy yet again.

She couldn’t get over his voice, he was just being plain rude making it deeper like that when he said that knowing the effect it had to have on people.

“Wow, that made me feel things!” Tessa leaned in, laughing a little before Steven, their director, steered the conversation back on track.

What Tessa had said though, that Florian was sure to remember for later.

—–

They were all ushered into the theater to watch the movie for the first time, Tessa somehow ended up right next to Florian with Mike next to her and Sandro and Masias on the other side of Florian.

They exchanged quiet glances and he noticed her shoulders were tense, sensing that she was probably cold.

It was actually perfect for what he wanted to do, so he stood up for a second and took his suit jacket off, sitting back down and draping it over her lap.

“Stop being so sweet, my cheeks already hurt from smiling so much!” she rolled her eyes but pulled the jacket around her lap more.

It was like a blanket almost it was so huge but it smelled like him and was warm still from his body heat so she was perfectly fine with it.

And now that the jacket had come off it allowed a better look at the turtleneck he was wearing that defined his muscles so well, it just wasn’t fair. She felt like her pulse hadn’t once calmed down since the start of the red carpet and now was no different, especially when the movie was about to begin and he whispered into her ear.

“That made me feel things? I haven’t forgotten what you said. I guess I’ll just have to give you another example of why they call me that.” he said it carefully but with heat behind his words, his face turning up in a grin at her shocked expression.

He bet on his life that she was soaking wet now and he couldn’t wait to show her what he meant.

He let her be for a good half hour before starting it back up again, slow and discreet with his hands as he slid them under his jacket and under the part of her dress she’d pulled back as not to step on it while she was sitting.

His fingers were warm on her thigh as he let them trail over her skin, savoring the softness of it.

He would be fine if she pushed his hand away, he knew it was bold to touch her like this so abruptly so he played with the risk by moving his fingers higher, his palm now flat against her.

She didn’t object but rather, almost like an instinct, parted her legs.

He noticed the shift in her breathing from shallow to heavy and it made him happy that she was allowing him the privilege of getting so close to her like this.

He took is slow, teasing her, his index finger lightly brushing against her clit through her panties, moving back to caress her thighs again before going back in, this time pressing a little harder as he moved his fingers in circles.

She was indeed soaking for him and before long he wanted more, moving her panties to the side as much as possible before letting his fingers play around in her arousal.

It was cute how tight she held onto his wrist, the way her lips were parted like she wanted to make a sound but knew better, the way her legs opened wider for him when he slid a finger inside her, then two, curling them ever so slightly till he found the spot he was looking for.

Tessa felt like she’d been caught in the middle of a storm. The sheer pleasure his fingers were bringing to her body made her weak and she felt like her heart was gonna give out from the thrill and pleasure of it all.

The fact that they were in a packed space and anyone could notice at any moment coupled with how hot this was swam around in her head.

Holding onto his wrist like her life depended on it was probably the only thing that was stopping her from screaming out his name at this point but even then he was making it hard to keep calm.

His fingers were so thick and long, she’d never been filled so completely before and this was just from two fingers.

Her walls clenched around him and she had to bite her lip to stifle a whimper when he started moving his fingers in and out a little faster.

“I need you to be quiet, Tessa. Wouldn’t want everyone knowing how much you love my fingers right?” he cocked an eyebrow at her, whispering so only she could hear.

Her expression was so amusing to him, a mixture of shock and annoyance but he knew she was enjoying it too, the slick between her thighs currently coating his fingers and the way she was clutching at his wrist under his jacket proved it.

He was relentless and it was so hard not to make a sound or grind against his hand, trying to focus on the movie was proving a challenge cause this little shit next to her decided to add a third finger.

She was determined to keep a straight face although she was nervous about what it would look or sound like when she eventually came because she wasn’t sure she could keep that under the radar.

His fingers were so skilled and quick, circling around her clit every so often before diving back into her, curling against her g spot and she couldn’t push him away or do anything to stop the tightening in her core.

Her concern about making an orgasm face was taken away when Florian decided to remove his hand altogether, knowing that she was so close but wanting to keep her aroused and craving him.

“Uh huh, no whining. I’ll swing by your hotel room later tonight and maybe I’ll give you more if you ask nicely.” there was that stupid smug little smirk that drove her insane.

She actually couldn’t believe that he’d done that and had the audacity to be so nonchalant about it, like he’d been planning this the entire day.

He wasn’t done yet, however, he put the cherry on top of the entire thing when he licked his fingers clean of her juices, making sure she knew that he enjoyed her taste.

“I actually hate your guts right now, what the fuck, please Flo!” she hissed quietly and pinched his arm, glancing around quickly to see if anybody had noticed, which they didn’t.

“What did I just say? No whining. I’ll see you later tonight, love.” he furrowed his eyebrows at her, his tone changing just slightly to let her know that he wasn’t kidding, going back to watching the rest of the movie.

—-

She didn’t receive much attention from him after that, not even at the after party celebration which only frustrated her more.

He was doing this on purpose and it was getting to her like he intended.

Luckily she didn’t have to wait very much longer when there was a knock on her door.

She’d taken off her makeup, showered and got changed into something more comfortable, braiding the extensions in her hair into two long braids instead of one like she had earlier.

She opened the door, letting it swing open a little and stepped back to let him in, all with her arms crossed.

He looked a lot more cuddly now but as if he’d read her mind, the chains remained around his neck.

“You look annoyed, T.” he squinted at her curiously, closing the door with his foot.

“Mhm, since you left me hanging back there. That was mean.” she pouted and moved back further inside the room.

“That was the point. I just wanted to see how desperate I could make you, dragă.” (sweetheart)

Nearly stumbling back, she felt another wave of heat at the use of him speaking in Romanian.

He’d called her that by accident one day in what felt like a hundred years ago and she only knew what it meant because she asked him, that memory still very clear in her mind.

Moving closer to her, he kicked off his shoes, leaning his shoulder against a wall.

“Well…it was still mean. You can’t just do that, Flo! I know you know how people react to you and I don’t think you understand the torture of not being able to stop thinking about you fucking me.” her arms came up defensively to her chest again, realizing that she’d probably said too much.

That last part made Florian’s dick harden in his jeans. She was dancing around a very dangerous edge and he intended to push her off and follow swiftly behind her.

“Want me to make it up to you?” he stared her down, his confidence boosting even more when she turned red and looked away at the floor.

The tension was pulsating and she felt so hot and restless like she knew her answer but there was a moment of hesitation, that fear of knowing she was about to handle a lot more than she could probably take from him and the incessant need for it at the same time.

He was patient, hands clasped together in front of him, just watching her closely, allowing her time to think but knowing what her answer would be anyways. He knew she was beyond denying that she wanted him.

“Yes, make it up to me, I deserve that.” she held her head high, trying to act like he didn’t make her resolve weaken at every turn.

He pushed off the wall and closed the distance between them in a few short strides.

She thought she was prepared but ultimately was not expecting him to gently wrap his hand around her throat, only applying some light pressure, his other hand slowly teasing its way down her tummy, toying with the waistband of her leggings.

“Say please and I’ll give you what you want, baby. That’s all I wanna hear.” his eyes glinted with that same look she’d seen earlier.

Of course he was still making her work for it, he enjoyed his control way too much and it made her roll her eyes.

“Florian! Come on, I just want you..ugh…please. Please fuck me, please.” she whined but eventually gave in when his fingers started making a repeat of their actions in the theater.

“Exactly what I thought. Now we can have fun.”

Part 2 will be posted Tuesday!!
