You and Nicholas had become close friends after working together on the film adaptation of Red, White & Royal Blue. Nicholas played the main character, Prince Henry, while you took on the role of a rival prince from another kingdom. It was all just acting — playful fights, scripted kisses, and all — but somewhere along the way, you accidentally caught real feelings for him. It didn’t help that Nicholas was, quite honestly, breathtakingly handsome. Everyone seemed to think so too, which only made it harder for you to confess. In a world that still judges people for their feelings and their sexuality, you kept your emotions hidden, even though it hurt.
Today, you and Nicholas were shooting another scene for the film — and this time, it involved a full-on make-out session. As Nicholas adjusted his suit, preparing for the shot, you could feel your heart pounding. This wasn’t just another scene for you — it felt like a big moment. When the director called "Action!", you placed your hands on Nicholas’s hips, drawing closer until your lips met. The kiss deepened naturally, the world around you both fading away, leaving only the two of you lost in the moment.
The director finally yelled, "Cut!" and you both quickly pulled away, panting and out of breath. Your lips were flushed, and both of you were blushing from the sudden intensity of it all. A short, awkward silence filled the air until Nicholas broke it with a soft chuckle, his eyes sparkling.
"You okay? You seemed a little flushed," he asked, his voice gentle and teasing, making your heart race even more.
