âWeâre just really good friends, nothing more,â You assure the interviewer in front of you, âWeâve been friends since the start of the show and weâve just had the opportunity to bond ever since then. ArĂłnâs my best friend.â
âAlright, thank you so much for your time (Y/n),â They smile as they dismiss you from the interview and you move onto the next.
Tonight was the season 3 premiere for Ălite and youâd never been more excited to celebrate the release. This was your favourite season so far and the show had started to mean a whole lot more to you recently.
âNow Iâm joined with (Y/n), tell me your thoughts on your characterâs development this season,â The lady interviewer asks you over the loud noise of the waiting fans.
âI think this is where youâll really see them go through the most progression. I think theyâre learning a lot about themselves and learning to be a better person. They donât always go about that in the right way but I think theyâre really trying to navigate everything and trying to understand that they do sometimes need other people in order to do that. I was so excited to bring these storylines to life this season and Iâm equally as excited for all of our wonderful fans to see it,â You smile proudly, glancing around at the cast that weâre completing interviews beside you.
âAnd what about your personal life? Did you draw any inspiration from that?â
âYeah, certainly,â You nod, âI think mainly in how to use the people around you in such a mutualistic way where you can be there to support them as much as they support you. And becoming aware of those truly good people in your life that will really make a difference,â Youâre thinking of one person in particular as you speak and itâs impossible to not smile a little at the thought.
âNow, final question and it was the question all of our fans wanted to know the answer to. Are we seeing an off screen romance between you and your costar ArĂłn?â
You laugh lightly, âIâve said it before and Iâll say it again, ArĂłn is my best friend. Heâs my support system and a wonderful guy. But thereâs nothing happening between us.â
âOkay folks, thank you for that (Y/n), that was excellent,â The interviewer bids you farewell as you move to greet a few more fans.
As you do, you see ArĂłn just nearing the edge of the line as he makes his way towards the doors of the theatre. You go about signing as much as you can and taking photos with everyone before sending them your love and making your own way towards the doors.
âAll done?â ArĂłn is waiting just inside the lobby as you walk in through the outside doors.
Your lips curl into a smile as you see him, âYep.â
He pushes himself up from the wall and locks a hand with yours, âYou look gorgeous tonight.â
âSo do you,â You beam, leaning in to kiss his cheek as the two of you head through to the backstage of the theatre.
Youâd been dating for almost a year now and had managed to always shut down any rumours that questioned otherwise. Any time you posted a story of the two of you or a photo on your Instagram, rumours spread like wildfire that there was something going on. You always managed to dismiss it or make a jokey post that made things seem like you were just friends and things calmed down. Only to be resurfaced again at the next opportunity.
You joined the rest of the cast backstage so you could all prepare to go on stage before the premiere of episode one where youâd chat a little bit about the upcoming series and thank everyone for being there. ArĂłn leant back against the dressing table and reached out his arms as you walked to stand between his legs and wrap your arms around him.
âHow many times did you get asked?â He mumbles, burying his head into your shoulder as he peppers you with kisses.
âalmost every interview,â You laugh, âI nearly gave up.â
âMe too,â He comments, âSomebody asked me about being proud of the cast and I didnât stop talking about you,â He admits it so bashfully, his introverted personality shining through.
âYouâre so cute,â You beam, holding his chin to turn him towards you as you kiss him softly.
He hums against your lips and deepens the gesture.
âFuck! Do you want everyone to find out youâre dating?â Miguel laughs as him and Mina walk into the room.
âShut up Miguel,â ArĂłn rolls his eyes as you turn around to face them and he keeps his arms around you.
âSeriously, with the way you were looking at each other out there? You werenât being very secretive,â Miguel jokes, coming over to clasp both of you on the shoulder, âBut your secrets always safe with me.â
âWe should probably get going right? I think everyoneâs seated by now,â You point out, checking the time on your phone.
The screen flashes alive with a photo of ArĂłn youâd taken only a few weeks ago. He was sat on the balcony of your apartment with his ankles crossed and his legs resting on the stone railing around the balcony. Heâd been laughing at something you said and you snapped the candid photo before he could blush and cover his expression with a mocking middle finger. He looked stunning.
âYeah, canât be late! Theyâll be asking a thousand questions more if weâre late,â Omar jokes and jabs ArĂłn in the side.
He hits him back jokingly as all of you check your mics before walking out through to where youâd go on stage. ArĂłn walks with his hand effortlessly locked with yours as the cast all start being introduced to walk on stage. Your name is called and you reluctantly let go of your hand, letting the applause warm your face with a bright smile as you step out.

The after party was always the most fun part of the premiere, where all of you got to let loose and truly celebrate yourselves and the project more than ever. You made sure to all get a few drinks in and toast to each other, the venue already bustling with people.
âDanna!â You grin as you see her, wrapping her in a long hug, âYou look stunning!â
âAhh thank you so much!â She beams, âLets get a photo!â
You two pose for a photo together which she instantly posts to her Instagram story. You go to take another as a pair of arms wrap around you and pull you into their chest.
âI missed you,â ArĂłn mumbles into your ear, kissing just below it as he speaks.
âYou were gone for five minutes,â You laugh, turning in his arms to face him, âAm I just thay missable?â
He jokingly looks as though heâs pondering the thought before his lips curl into a smile, âDance with me, you love this song!â
Itâs impossible to say no to him as he buries his face in your neck and the two of you sway far too slowly to the upbeat track.
Youâre so lost in each other that you donât hear when Ester starts filming for her Instagram as they all sing along to the music. And you certainly donât pay attention to the fact that youâre right in the background of the video...

The next morning, the lasting effects of the alcohol mean it takes you longer than usual to get up at all. Youâd had a lazy morning alongside ArĂłn in bed, both of you ignorant to everything else around you. You hadnât thought too much about how much your phones were buzzing - expecting it to be the typical aftermath of the premiere hype that had caused it.
âFuck! They donât want to leave us alone this morning,â ArĂłn grumbles as you bury your head into his chest.
âIgnore it,â You mumble as your phone buzzes another two times and his starts to ring.
âAlright, alright, give me two minute,â He confirms, shuffling out of the bed and reluctantly out of your grip as he stands up to find his phone in his jeans from the night before.
Heâs completely naked and still half asleep as he tries to read what had been coming through on his screen.
âWhat?â He frowns, âMiguelâs just said âI promise it wasnât meâ.â
You push yourself to sit up in the bed, tucking the sheet under your shoulders to keep you covered, âWhat wasnât him?â
He laughs a little, âWell, fuck.â
âWhat?â You frown, reaching to grab the phone from him.
âAlright but before you see it,â He holds the phone up high to stop you from grabbing it, âI want you to be sure that this doesnât change anything. Weâll make it work and weâll just have to figure out a way of-â
âArĂłn!â You exclaim, âLet me see the phone!â
He chuckles and hands it over so you can see the video replaying on his screen - the video Ester has taken. With a clear view of you and ArĂłn cosying up in the background.
âHoly shit,â You let out in an exasperated breath, âEverybodyâs seen this?â
âPretty much,â He says with a smirk playing on his lips.
âWhat do we do?â
âWhat do you mean?â ArĂłn laughs, âDoes this change anything?â
âWell, no. But itâs a lot harder to manage a relationship when youâre in the public eye...â
âYeah, but we donât have to share excessive amounts. Weâll continue doing as we are now, just stop lying in interviews now,â He jokes, âThey donât need to know every detail about our relationship just because theyâve seen us together.â
Just like that, heâs said the words suitable for calming your nerves.
âAnd nobody gets to see us like this, other than us,â He comments as he clambers back Into bed with you, âI think weâll both just be glad to not have to lie anymore, youâre a terrible liar!â
