“shit, shit, shit!”
You were freaking out, pacing back and forth in front of Gemma's trailer door. You didn’t know who else to go to besides her, she has been your closest friend on set during filming so it seemed only right.
You didn’t know how it happened. One minute your on set goofing around with Barry as usual and something had just come over you. You kissed him. Right there practically in-front of everyone. You didn’t know what to do after that so you here you were waiting for Gemma to answer the door.
It opens to reveal Gemma in a fluffy white robe and her hair freshly washed. She frowned down at you just as confused as you paced.
“y/n/n? what’s wrong?” she asked knitting her brows.
“Gem, I really need to talk its an emergency.” you said hurriedly.
She motions for you to come in and mumbles something about the mess in her trailer. You really didn’t care so much in the moment your hands laced together as you breathed in a shaky breath.
Once she had closed the door you two were completely alone as nothing but silence held the air.
“What’s going on? you seem shaken.” she says.
Your leg is bouncing uncontrollably, a side effect you had from nerves.
You tried your best to explain what had just occurred as calmly as possible but failed and when you were in the middle of your rant Gemma stopped you gently.
“Woah, Woah, slow down, take a breath,” she steps towards you with her hands out. She places them on your shoulders comfortingly when she's close enough. You inhale a breath as she dose and you both exhale at the same time.
“okay.” you nod.
“start from the beginning, what happened?”
“I was hanging out with Barry on set like we usually do and one thing led to another and…”
You loved the way his eyes crinkled when he laughed. How his nose would twitch when you would make a stupid joke. You always wondered why he always put up with your ridiculous jokes that were so corny half the time. After spending so many moths together something just grows. You and Barry had a special bond out of anyone else in the cast. Everything just felt right with him around. Like your world was better now that he was in it and you don’t know how you went thing long without him.
Maybe it was just a silly crush, you don't know. What you do though is that your feelings ran deeper than love. It was more of a fondness for him.
“You should go into comedy,” Barry says once he’s calmed himself down a little.
“get off, i’m not that funny,” you protest.
“Come on, ya you are.” he nudges his shoulder with yours.
“you’re so full of shit,” you giggle.
“no im serious, you’re great.” he says in a more stern tone.
Your giggles had stopped completely now as he’s looking at you more genuine as he speaks. You can tell by his tone its coming somewhere deep.
“You’re not just a funny lass, you’re smart, beautiful, and an overall good person. I think that’s amazing on it’s on own, anybody would be lucky to have ya.”
Your heart melts at his words. Your cheeks were heating up and before you could even control what you were doing, you gently grabbed Barry’s face and kissed him so softly. Your lips brushed against his just long enough for him to feel the warmth of your skin and taste your strawberry chapstick. Before he could even reciprocate and kiss you back you were pulling away with a faint smack and taking off towards the direction of the trailers.
Now here you were back in Gemma's trailer finishing your story. The look on her face changes while you speak from confusion into pure humor.
“So you kissed him and then…”
“Ran away.” you finished.
You plop down onto her leather sofa that wasn’t as comfortable as you thought it would be. Huffing you squeeze your eyes in frustration realization hitting you that Barry probably hated you now. You felt so humiliated right now, I mean what the fuck were you thinking? You’ve ruined a perfectly good relationship between you just because you couldn’t handle the most genuine sounding complement’s you’ve ever heard about yourself.
She laughs heartily at you and you glare at her not so seriously.
“I mean what was I supposed to do?!” you put your face in your hands. “Im so embarrassed, what am I gonna do the next time I see him?”
“Tell him how you feel?” Gemma suggested sitting next to you.
“What if he doesn’t feel the same? or worse laughs at me?” you shoot up out of your seat and throw your hands up. Gemma gives you a pitying look from her seat.
“He won’t, i haven’t known Barry for that long but I know he has a good heart and I know he won’t judge you all the lesser for admitting your feelings.” she states.
You cross your arms and look solemnly towards the ground. If he did hate you you didn’t know what you could do, this whole operation could be ruin from your dumbass mistake. You didn’t want to risk it further and make things more uncomfortable between you and Barry.
Gemma offered to tell the crew you weren’t feeling well and you decided to head back to your hotel room, since everything had been pretty much wrapped up for the day anyways. Nobody questioned you when you walked to the car and drove back to your hotel for the rest of the night. You would order room service and watch trashy reality tv to take your mind off things. Then hopefully sleep would take you into a deep sleep as it usually did.

When you arrived at your hotel it was fairly early into the night and guests were leaving to spend nights out on the town or go out to dinner, but not you. You got into the elevator as a couple walked out past you giggling at one another. It made you kinda happy to see some people could figure things out and been happy themselves. You pressed the button with your floor number, the white glow around it signaling you that the doors would close and you'd be completely alone soon. Finally. after being near loads of people all day with the hussle and bussle of being on a set, it was very tiring most days. You couldn’t wait to curl up into bed and rant to your pillow.
Just as the doors were closing, a hand reaches in to stop them. You groan internally but your eyes flash with panic as a familiar face pops into view. Blue eyes look almost as shocked to see you as well but you don’t let them distract you. It was Barry. Oh right, you completely forgot he was staying in the same hotel as you, and the same floor as a matter of fact. God if the ground would swallow you whole right now you wouldn’t object to falling into it.
“hey,” he laughs out, sounding almost nervous.
“hi,” you squeak out.
“Sorry if i startled ya, just didn’t want to miss it.”
You nod and shift over from your spot in the middle to the left to make room for him. He stands next to you tall as ever and hands in his pockets. The silence swirls around you both in this tiny space and its suffocating you. The digital scenes numbers signifying each floors dings echoing in your ears. you felt like you were going to faint, being in this elevator for more than twenty seconds with him was sure to make you go insane. Barry noticed your uneasiness but didn’t say a word
He was hot on your tail you could feel him. Feel his warm gaze on the back of your head as your hair bounced with each step. It sent shivers down your spine to know he was looking directly at you. Reaching your door you were glad that this uncomfortable awkwardness would be over soon.
Barry was across the hall from you of course. It made it even more antagonizing standing in the softly lit hall searching for your room key as Barry was also digging into his pockets looking for his.
You groaned in annoyance continuously digging through your bag. The key card was nowhere to be seen and you huffed shoving your bag with a thump. You must've left it back in your trailer. This was great, now you had to go all they back down to the lobby and ask for a new one and you knew it would be a hassle. Barry turns and sees your growing frustration, he reaches into his pocket and finds what he was looking for. He pulls it out and holds it out to you from behind.
“Here,” he says. you turn and frown at him when you see the identical card placed between his thumb and pointer.
“One of the costuming ladies said you left it and she knew we were staying in the same hotel so, i brought it to you.”
“Thanks,” you take it from him and turn back to your door. The green light blinks at you and the door click’s as you push the door open. With one final turn you see Barry watching you solemnly as you bid him goodnight and just before your door closes you hear a ‘night’ from him making you inhale. Once you’re safe behind the door you thump your head against it soundly and squeeze your eyes cringing at yourself. Here you were being an absolute fool for this man who was only across the hall and feeling nothing but embarrassment when you were near him. Combing your fingers in your scalp, you decided to just call it a night.
You made your way into your room toeing off your shoes as you walked to your bed and threw yourself down on it. Bouncing for a moment on the mattress before you stilled made you sigh contently, as if all your worries went away as soon as you laid down. You didn’t know how you would face Barry tomorrow after today but you tried not to worry about it too much. Instead you got to work on drawing yourself a quick bath, using all the fancy soaps the hotel had to offer, and then you’d throw on the complementary robe and get into your king bed and fall asleep to the mind numbing television.
You got up reluctantly and went into the bathroom to start up the tub. Turning the knob to the right temperature you checked it just to make sure it was perfect. Satisfied you go to the sink to inspect the various soaps you thought about earlier. There were three different kinds, Rose, Lavender, and Lily. Since you wanted to feel relaxed tonight you picked the lavender knowing as it had calming properties and such.
You walked back into the little room with the tub and began undressing, throwing your clothes into a pile in the corner. You were so sweaty and sore from all the stunt training you had to do leading up to this production but you knew it would be worth it in the end. You were so in shape and healthy but you knew going into this that training for a big marvel movie was going to be brutal to get that super hero bod.
You poured some of the liquid soap into the bath above the faucet and watched as the bubbles formed. Once you were content with how much water had filled the tub you turned off the valve and dipped your foot in testing the water. You bemoan at the warmth and as carefully as you can slip down into the tub and lay back. You inhaled the Lavender as it took over your senses and calmed your brain. Even if this only was for a few minutes while the water was still warm you enjoyed it. Taking baths was a great way to help you destress and it was doing wonders for you now.
After only a few minutes a knock on your room door startled you out of your trance. You threw your head back and sighed. Whoever it was they would go away in a few moments, but no another knock was heard. Just ignore it. But another pound to the door made you grunt and sit up and get up out of your safe haven. You grabbed the bathrobe hanging on the hook and threw it on tying it around your waist quickly. Water splashed onto the floor from your feet but it was fine you would clean it after. You practically threw the door open without even looking through the peephole to see who it was first. It could've been anyone, and you were standing in just a bathrobe. Barry is standing there looking rather flushed when he sees you.
Beats pass as he looks at you trying not to seem obvious that he’s pretty much checking you out. And it doesn't creep you out that he is, even though that you’re standing in front of him practically half naked. Once again you’ve seemed to make a fool of yourself in front of him. Heat rises to your face and you clear your throat.
“Sorry,” he speaks. “I didn’t know if you were asleep but, I have to talk to you. its urgent.”
Your lips part at his words. Not really knowing what to say you gesture for him to enter your room. He walks past you and stands in the middle of the room waiting for you to shut the door. Once you do you meet him and you’re standing face to face. Your breathing intensifies as you’re walking closer to one another, until your chests are almost touching. Everything is quiet and still as you both lean in at the same time. Suddenly he’s kissing you so passionately you thought you died and went to heaven. You couldn't even believe this was happening it’s like something out of a movie, but it wasn't, it was real. Your kissing is hot a frantic like your both scared the other will disappear once its over and you were clinging onto one another.
His hands are so cautious as to where they hold you. You just want him to touch you and it makes you a little frustrated to see him being so hesitant. Rolling your eyes slightly You grab his hands and place them so he can cup your ass firmly with his palms. and He groans hotly into your mouth. You swallow every sound his makes as you reach up to play with his hair. His lips feel so soft moving with yours you feel almost dizzy and you’re so glad his holding you right now or else you’d probably fall over.
When you both pull away you’re breathless and eyes blow full of lust. His lips are a light pink color from all your kisses and swollen. He leans down to peck your nose and then lean his forehead against yours. You giggle at the action and you're both still trying to regain your breath.
“So you have feelings for me huh?” you question.
“I do.” he admits. “and I am hoping yours haven't changed?”
You shake your head and he smiles boyishly.
“Not in the slightest, especially after you kissed me like that.” you jest.
He throws his head back in laughter and leans back in to kiss you once more with even more passion as before.
