Chapter Text
“Our next guest is an up and coming singer-songwriter who is setting the world ablaze with her latest single ‘got it right’. Please welcome (y/n)!” I hear Ellen say my introduction from off stage and have to be reminded by the stagehands that I need to start walking. I can’t believe I’m here, on Ellen. I was just a normal girl living in Wisconsin and playing my ukulele for fun when I started writing songs and I guess they were good enough to be picked up by a record label. I honestly don’t know how it happened, I just know I’m incredibly thankful that it did.
As I’m walking out onto the stage I force a smile on my face. Don’t get me wrong, I’m extremely happy to be here, but my nerves are definitely kicking in. I give Ellen a hug once I’m close enough and give the audience a small wave before taking my seat and crossing my legs.
“(y/n), it’s so great to have you here”
“It’s great to be here” I reply with a smile.
“So tell us, what is it like? I mean, just a few weeks ago you were just writing these songs for yourself and now it seems like everyone is the world has heard you sing”
“Wow, um, when you put it like that it’s terrifying” I chuckle “no, I mean, it’s so amazing and I’m still in shock that it’s happening but so incredibly grateful”
“So most of your songs are love songs”
“Uh yeah..” I reply, wondering where she is going with that statement.
“So you must have a muse right? Who are you writing these songs for”
I immediately cover my face with my hands, feeling my cheeks flush at this question that I’ve been dreading.
“Oh come on, you have a special someone at home?”
“Oh no, definitely not” I laugh at the thought
“But there has to be someone”
“I mean, yeah but god I can’t. It’s too embarrassing”
“Your songs are great! I’m sure anyone would be honored to be the special someone who inspired them”
“But like, what if they’re watching?”
“Come on” she coaxes
“Okay, umm” I try to stall but it doesn’t work well, “It’s mainly my favorite actors and celebrity crushes” I pause to laugh at my silly declaration “Sebastian Stan and Chris Evans” I cover my face again as people in the audience oo and ah at my statement.
“Ya know, I’ve been hearing a lot about Sebastian Stan lately, people keep saying I should have him on my show but I don’t know much about him”
“Well I mean, he’s Bucky Barnes which is pretty bomb. But actually I prefer some of his other movies more. The Bronze, for example, was hilarious and he character was *fans self*. I haven’t seen many of his movies actually, but he’s done a couple miniseries that have been really good”
“And he’s your muse?”
“Well yeah, I mean I’ve watched interviews and read some stuff about his interactions with fans and he just seems like such a good person, not to mention he’s hot as hell” I stage whisper the last part towards the audience.
“Well, I think he’ll be pleased to hear that” I crinkle my eyebrows at her comment and then hear the audience screaming. I turn towards the stage entrance and see none other than, Sebastian fucking Stan sauntering towards me. I cover my face in my hands again to hide my blush as well as my crazy smile. I can’t believe this is happening, Ellen did it again. I try to compose myself and am able to pull my head from my hands in time to stand and greet him with a hug, a tight hug I might add.
“Hi, it’s so lovely to meet you” he says once we sit down.
I can’t help the smile that makes it’s way to my lips again as I look over at him “It’s amazing to meet you, too”
“Sebastian Stan, I can’t believe you’ve never been on here before, what have I been doing”
Sebastian laughs along with Ellen before speaking, “I don’t know, but I’m happy to be here”
“So you two are both first timers on the show”
“That’s true, but he’s been in this biz longer than I have” I speak up
Sebastian and Ellen both laugh at my comment before Sebastian says “That’s true, but I bet I’m more nervous than you are”
“Um maybe before you showed up, now? I’m a wreck” I cover my mouth after I realize what I said.
Sebastian licks his lips and smiles at me before squeezing my leg with his hand. He then moves his arm slightly but leaves it resting on my chair. The rest of the interview goes by in a flash. A flash of arm brushes, leg squeezes, and smiles; so many smiles. After the show I talk with some people backstage for a while before finding my way back to my dressing room. As I’m packing up I hear a knock at my door, without looking up I tell whoever it is to come in. Assuming it was my manager I jump when I hear the familiar chuckle of none other than, Sebastian.
“Shit you scared me” I say clutching at my chest
“I knocked, you said come in” he looks confused and points at the door.
“No, yeah I know I just wasn’t expecting it to be you. But anyways, what’s up” I try for casual but probably failed horribly based on the way he smiles at me.
“I was wondering if you’d want to grab a bite to eat with me? Have you been to LA before, I could show you around. If you’re interested” he rushes. Was that a hint of nervousness I detected in his voice?
“Yeah, I’d love to” I smile at him, damn I can’t help but smile at him “I just wanna stop by my hotel and grab a quick shower and probably change into something more casual?” I question the last part.
“Yeah, sure. We’ll probably be walking so dress comfortably. I can stop by your hotel at say, six?”
“Yeah that should be good” I snag a peek at my watch and see that it gives me 4 hours, which is more like 2.5 with this traffic.
“Great, here’s my number” he hands me a piece of paper, “you can text me your hotel info. I’ll see you at six!” he smiles and kisses my cheek before leaving.
