Going to comic-on and other conventions and/or interviews has always been a nerve wracking experience for Pedro, another actor in the movie you two have starred in, Gladiator 2.

Pedro had always been a bit of a fidget-y type of person, if it meant picking at the fabric of his clothing, or picking at his fingernails, and more often than not. it meant he’s nervous.

You, always coming to interviews with him, have noticed this, not bringing it up, but always offering to hold his hand whenever he stepped close to you, craving that reassuring for his anxiety.

Just like now.

Pedro’s foot bounces up and down slightly, his leg folded over the other as you, Paul Mescal and some of the other guys answer questions spilled from the interviewer, the occasional joke from another.

Pedro will still be able to answer the questions he’s asked, smiling widely and offering a joke or so.

When the attention is drawed back to him, you feel a slight brush on your hand. Glancing down, it’s the side of Pedro’s hand beside yours on the armrest of your chair, itching to hold your hand.
