The tonight show starring Jimmy Fallon. The big deal of your and Nicholas’ career.

You and Nick are sitting in the green room, both feeling the buzz of excitement and nerves before the show. The set staff weaves around, double-checking lighting and cameras, and your stylist touches up your makeup.

Nick leans against your make-up desk with a grin on his lips. "So, ready to face the rumor mill?"

Your lips curl into a smirk. “Only if you’re answering first.”

He gives you an amused scoff. “Oh, I see how it is—throwing me to the wolves.”

The show runner pops her head in, signaling it’s time. You exchange one last playful, nervous glance with Nicholas as you both get up.

After some talk about Grotesquerie, Jimmy leans forward with a playful glint in his eye.

“Alright, I have to ask this... Fans want to know if the chemistry on screen is maybe a little real off-screen too?”

The audience laughs, and you and Nicholas exchange a look.

You laugh, a bit bashful “Oh, that question.”

Nick grins at the audience before turning back to Jimmy. “We’ve been getting that one a lot. It’s almost like we’re just really good at acting, right?”

The audience chuckles, and Jimmy shakes his head, unconvinced.

“But what about those set photos?”

“You mean the ones where we’re standing a whole foot apart?” You smirk

The crowd laughs, and Nicholas gives your hand a playful squeeze, making the crowd cheer.

“If it’s got everyone talking, I’d say we did our job pretty well.”
