Work Text:
You met Ethan at a comic con that he had attended along with Mark about a week before Unus Annus started. He seemed to really like talking to you and surprised you by slipping his phone number on the paper when he signed your notebook for you.
This left you mulling over what you should do with the phone number he gave. He probably doesn't really remember even giving it. But you still had some hope that maybe he did.
After weeks of turning the idea over in your head over and over again, you finally decided to call him. He answered, sounding a little suspicious.
“Hello?”his voice comes through the phone.
“H-hey. My name is Y/N L/N. We met at con?”you reply.
“Oh! Hey, I was wondering when you would call.”
“You were waiting on it?”
“Mhm! I really liked meeting you at con and I was hoping that maybe we could hang out sometime.”
“I would really enjoy that, actually.”you smile.
“Maybe this weekend?”
“Maybe.”you rub the back of your neck, kind of coming to terms with the fact that you're speaking so casually to someone you watched on YouTube.
“Are you alright?”
“Y-yeah. Just honestly a little nervous,”you confess. “I mean, I remember watching you and Mark on YouTube when I was a teenager.”
Ethan's laugh comes from the other end of the phone. “That's very sweet, it's always nice to meet a fan. But, I wanna maybe make a friend?”
“That sounds really nice.”
“I'll text you my address, but you have to keep from leaking it. Can I trust you with that?”
You blush slightly. “Yeah, of course. I mean, we're friends, right?”
“Yeah of course.”he laughs softly.”
A few days later, you head over to Ethan's place. He opens the door immediately when you knock, a bright smile on his face like he was waiting for you to get there.
“You dressed up?”he asks.
“I wasn't sure if I should dress casual or not so I figured this was a good impression to make.”you say with a sheepish smile as you gently brush invisible dust off of your outfit.
“Mhm. Well, you look very pretty. I'm sure you always do.”Ethan replies with a slight blush.
Ethan leads you into his house, showing you around a little before leading you into his living room.
“Do you want something to eat or anything?”he asks.
You smile softly. “No thank you. You’re very sweet though.”
Ethan smiles softly and blushes a little as he sits down beside you and hands you a video game controller. He starts up a game.
“May I ask you something?”you ask.
He turns toward you. “Yeah, of course.”
“Were you just looking to be friends?”
Ethan’s blush darkens at the question. “Honestly, no. I ended up with quite the crush on you when we met.”
Now it was your turn to blush, earning a sheepish smile from Ethan. Ethan moved a little closer.
“Can I… can I kiss you?”Ethan asked.
You nod quickly and allow him to cup your cheek in his hand. He kisses you gently at first, a delicate peck on the lips before coming back in for another, slightly deeper kiss.
