You almost chocked on your breath when you and your friends walked around the people who just like you attended Comic-con. It was silly of you and you were embarrassed about it so you hid it from your friends but you came there just for that one person. Drew Starkey. Every time you saw him on screen while you watched Outer Banks you couldn’t help but freaked out.

The atmosphere in the convention hall was electric, the buzz of excitement almost tangible as fans mingled with cosplayers and celebrities alike. But for you, everything blurred into the background the moment you spotted him. Your heart skipped a beat, and you nearly choked on your breath as your eyes locked onto Drew Starkey, standing just a few feet away. He looked even better in person, his presence magnetic, with that same buzzcut he had in the latest season of Outer Banks.

You tried to keep your cool, not wanting to alert your friends to your sudden panic. You had come all this way, agreed to attend Comic-Con with them, all for this one chance to see Drew in person. And now that moment was here, surreal and overwhelming. The world seemed to shrink, and for that one moment, it was just you and him in the crowded hall.

One of your closest friends seemed to sense your excitement and leaned closer to you just encourage you to take the opportunity to approach him. Your heart pounded in your chest as your friend nudged you forward with a knowing smile, whispering a few encouraging words that gave you just enough courage to take the first step. The distance between you and Drew seemed to stretch endlessly.

When you finally reached him, you had to tilt your head back slightly to meet his gaze. Up close, he was even more stunning than you could have imagined. His eyes held a warmth that was somehow both disarming and utterly mesmerizing.

“Hi,” you managed to say, your voice almost a whisper. This was your chance—your moment to connect with the person you’d admired from behind the screen.
