Carousel: Part 2 (COLE X READER)
SUMMARY: Your second day in the set of Riverdale. How your friendship with the cast escalates, even more so- your crush on Cole.
Playful and funny- with a surprise ending.
A/N: I’ve decided to make 5 parts out of this storY, so I apologize if it’s too slow for your liking :( It’s my first fanfic so I thought I might as well take it slow and make it a good one. Requests are open if you would like to read something else <3 Thanks for reading, here’s a cup of tea !!!!
Today you have an introductory scene with Cole. The last time you met, which was the day before, he was really friendly and although you didn’t have much of a conversation with him, you could easily tell how cordial and nice he was.
You arrive really early on set since it’s only your second day ( and also because you were really excited to work with Cole). Mark tells you to rehearse your lines since Cole might take some time to come. You sit there in the hair and makeup room and go through your lines over and over again. It’s a really small scene but you don’t wanna mess it up- for obvious reasons. Lili and Camila soon join you and you guys have a long and easy chat as you get your hair done.
“So, (y/n)” Lili gives you a cheeky grin “ second day, huh? How’s it going for ya’?”
“Okay, I guess. I have a scene with Cole today” you give her a small smile.
“Ah! Good luck working with that one! He’ll probably arrive late” Lili groans
You snicker at her comment.
“Speak of the devil” Camila remarks as a handsome and sleepy Cole enters the room like he owns the place!
“Was that for me? Aw Cam, you really know how to crush a poor guy’s spirit early morning” Cole makes a puppy face. AND YOU SWEAR YOU COULD’VE JUST DIED RIGHT THEN AND THERE.
You try to keep you cool and stay quiet. “ (y/n), was it?” Cole walks towards you “we have a scene today”
“Yeah” you quietly answer and give him a small smile. Lili and Cam snicker at how shy you get around other people. “Be nice to her okay, Cole!” Lili warns
Cole rolls his eyes, “You guys make me sound like I’m such a bad boy” he places his hand on his chest dramatically. He looks up at you and clears his throat,”So my lady, may I escort you to our precious set?” he extends his hand.
You chuckle and take his hand.
Lili and Cam laugh in the background, “ (Y/N)! You really need to break out of your shell” Cam exclaims
“Nah, I like her this way. Shy and cute” Cole remarks, and then he looks at Lil and Cam, “ Not like you two crazy ass loud hyperactive oompa loompas” he blurts abruptly and runs out of the room before Lil and Cam gets a chance to hit him- all the while still holding your hand.
Did he just call you cute?
It has been three weeks since you joined the cast of Riverdale. Everything has been great so far. Your crush on Cole has only gotten bigger, and suprisingly you’ve done a pretty great job in keeping it a secret. I mean, you’re really close with Lili and Cam now, they’re your girls but you still see them as huge tv actresses you take pride in calling them your friends. I guess you happen to feel that way because the show hasn’t gone out yet, so no one really knows who you are.
Today’s just like any other day. Nothing out of the ordinary. You haven’t seen Cole all day because you had several shots to take care of. You were in the set, practicing your lines when-
“Hey kiddo” you hear a voice from the back.
You turn around to find a certain red-haired guy, “ C’mon KJ! Stop calling me that” you groan. He taps your head like you’re a 5 year old boy and sits next to you.
“Yeah, KJ. She’s an infant. How dare you call her a kiddo?” Cole teases as he makes his way. Ah! As handsome as ever.
“Whatever” you grunt and pretend to be mad.
“Aw, hit a nerve there, did I ?” Cole comes closer to you, making your heart flutter, ”infant” he whispers.
“COLE!” you start hitting him with your transcripts as he and KJ laugh horrendously.
“Okay, guys. That’s my cue. Don’t miss me too much”
Both of them scoffs, “I won’t. I don’t know about KJ though” Cole jokes
KJ pretends to wipe a tear, “I can barely hold it in”
You roll your eyes, “Whatever,” and wave them a temporary goodbye.
What an exhausting day. You’ve had 6 scenes altogether- you’ve never been this tired in set before. Exhausted, sleepy and hungry, you groan and fall on the sofa placed near the stage.
You decide to take a quick nap before packing. So tired.
You’re awakened, some 10 minutes later, by a very unfamiliar snort and the sound of someone breathing heavily, close to your face.
You yell in fright as you open your eyes to find a hideous face staring back at you.
He had just beaten all the records of funny faces with this scary one, he had his eyes so big and his mouth of enormous, it scared the living daylights out of you.
This boy, I swear. As much as you adore him, he is also the most annoying person you’ve met!
“What is wrong with you, Cole!,” you yell, “What is wrong with you,” you hit his arm.
He couldn’t help but laugh out loud, he apparently found it so funny he even had tears form in his eyes, “ HAHA, I knew that would scare you. But not that much. You should’ve seen your face!!”
“Whatever,” you give him an angry face and fix your hair, “ you’re annoying!!!” you make your way out.
“C’mon, don’t be like that!” he runs over to you, “Fine, I’m sorry!” he tries to sound apologetic but he still can’t stop himself from laughing.
“You’re still laughing, oh my god.”
“No, No.” he controls his laughter,” Let me make it up to you,” he says.
Interesting. “How?” you try to sound angry.
Dinner with Cole Sprouse? Am I in heaven?
