It had now been half a year since you started working on a TV series project named 'ALIEN STAGE'. Today, you were working on the the sixth round. In said scene, Ivan had to kiss you (then strangle you), which proved to be more complicated than expected by the filming crew. During his acting career, Ivan had performed multiple kiss scenes, yet he couldn't seem to get this one right. On the first attempt, your teeth collided, on the second, Ivan focused too much on the kiss and forgot to strangle you, on the third, he bit your tongue by accident and on the fourth stepped on your foot... Today's takes had been nothing short of a disater.

All the while, the simulated rain had dampened your stage costumes and hair, which now clung to your skin uncomfortably. The stylist hurried to fix both your and Ivan's hair as the movie director sighed. "Let's try one more time, then we'll call it a day."

Ivan offered you a sheepish smile as he got back in place. "I'll get it right this time." He promised, although It was easier said than done. How could he not get nervous when you were the one he had to kiss? The issue wasn't that he was unwilling to do so. On the contrary, Ivan resonated a bit too well with the character he portrayed : he had longed to kiss you for months now. That was the problem.
