“What you smiling at?” Scott says nudging your shoulder.

“Hm nothing, I don’t know what you’re on about” you say shrugging your shoulders trying to act nonchalant.

You see Chris glancing over at you as he takes a swig of his beer. You can see a smirk playing at his lips before he turns his attention back to the game on the TV.

“You’ve been I dunno different recently, ever since you broke up with Jake really” Scott says leaning back into the couch.

“I hope it’s a good different” you laugh grabbing your beer before leaning back to join Scott.

“Of course it’s a good different, I don’t think I’ve seen you this happy since like um I don’t know before college” Scott laughs gesturing wildly.

“Are you saying I’ve been depressed ever since I left for college” you laugh your jaw dropping slightly.

“No, no, no! Not depressed! But like your extra happy, like carefree happy, the type of happiness you feel before you become an adult and life goes to shit” Scott explains laughing as he does so.

“Well I do feel like my life is going the way I want, I have an awesome job, amazing house, fabulous friends” you say poking Scott in the ribs making him laugh and swat your hand away.

“Life is great” you summarise taking a large sip of your beer, resisting the urge to look over at Chris.

“Just need to find yourself a fella” Scott says wiggling his eyebrows at you playfully.

“Oh I don’t know about that” you say shaking your head waving the idea off.

“Nah we can set you up with someone” Scott says not listening to your protests.

“Hey Chris! You’re the king of eligible bachelors, you got any one we could set (Y/N) up with?” Scott shouts grabbing Chris’ attention.

Chris looks over and frowns slightly at the question. His eyes meet yours and you hope that he can see this wasn’t your idea at all. He looks back at Scott and shrugs his shoulder casually.

“I can’t think of anyone, I’m sure (Y/N) can find someone perfectly fine anyway” Chris states shaking his head refuses to make eye contact with you.

“What use is it having a famous brother if he can’t set people up” Scott scoffs with a laugh.

Chris just shrugs his shoulders before turning his attention back to the game.

“Someone’s in a mood” Scott whispers to you with a laugh.

You laugh along half-heartedly resisting the urge to look over at Chris. When your resolve breaks and you look over at Chris who kept his eyes on the TV, jaw slightly clenched. You could only hope that it was because of the game, not because of what Scott said.

For the rest of the day Chris acted off, despite everyone trying to get him involved in the conversation he wouldn’t engage. You didn’t miss the incessant bouncing of his leg either. You started to worry about what was going through his head, starting to scratch at the label on your beer.

Once you bottle was empty, and the label completely scratched off you headed into the kitchen to go grab another beer. As you walked in you saw Chris stood refilling the bowls of snacks. He glances up at you before quickly returning his attention to the task in hand.

“Are you okay?” You ask as you walk over to the fridge.

You hear him hum in response but not say any more.

“Look what Scott said about hooking me up with someone that was all him, I said I didn’t want that” you tell him moving to stand next to him. When you place a hand on his arm you feel him tense for a moment.

“Scott was saying how happy I am recently, and that’s all because of you I don’t need or want anyone else okay” you tell him reassuringly.

He finally turns to face you and you see his eyes search your face. Before he sighs deeply looking down shaking his head.

“I know I’m sorry it just got into my head and spiralled into something worse than it actually was” he apologies taking his hands in yours and squeezing them gently.

“Hey, it’s okay no need to apologise okay, look whenever this gets to loud” you say tapping his forehead “just come to me okay and I’ll help shut it up” you continue making him chuckle.

He glances over your shoulder quickly before crashing his lips against yours. As quickly as it started he pulled away whispering a thanks before grabbing the bowl of snacks and heading back out. Winking at you as he goes. You chuckle to yourself grabbing one of the bowls he left behind before following him out.

You had a busy day at work today to finish off a busy week at work, so you were glad to relax at home. You’d run yourself a bath a fully pampered yourself so when you got out and dressed you felt ready to grab a glass of wine and relax in front of the TV.

You had just filled up a glass of rose wine and was just about to order yourself some food when you heard someone knocking on your door. You furrow your brows slightly as you weren’t expecting anyone.

When you open the door you see someone you also weren’t expecting. Chris was stood there shifting foot to foot nervously, nibbling on his lips.

“Chris! I thought you were away doing press?” You asks stepping aside allowing him to step inside.

Once the door shut behind you Chris engulfed you in a tight hug. He buried his head in your shoulder and you could feel him realising a deep sigh. As you wrapped your arms around his shoulders you could feel how tense he was. You waiting until he pulled out of the hug for you spoke.

“What’s wrong, what happened?” You ask rubbing his shoulders calmingly.

He sighed dropping his head shaking it “its uh... I just had a really long week and I just wanted to see you” he said.

You nod your head, but you could tell that that he wasn’t telling you everything.

“Did you come straight here from the airport?” You ask him, and he nods his head in answer.

“Okay well, why don’t I run you a bath to help you relax and get you out of these airport clothes. Does that sound good?” You offer running your hands down his arms to his hands.

He smiles slightly before moving to kiss you on the top of your head “that would be amazing thank you” he says allowing you to lead him towards you bathroom.

Once the bath was run you went to grab Chris a drink while he got in the bath. When you returned you passed him his drink before kneeling down behinds him pressing a kiss to his shoulder. You grabbed the loofah and started running up and down his shoulders. He looks at your surprised for a moment and you just give him a warm smile before he relaxes again.

When you started rubbing soap over his body you noticed how tense his shoulders were, so you gave them some extra attention to work out the tension. Chris’ hands find yours and he looks over his shoulders at you. You could see the mix of emotions in Chris eyes, he looked tired, mentally exhausted almost to the point of tears, but also he looked so happy as if someone had never done this before. Which made you wonder if you were the first. He doesn’t say anything, and he doesn’t need to.

When the bathwater began to grow cold you left the bathroom to find him a change of clothes. You were able to find some sweatpants and a top from when he last visited, that and you slowly were growing a collection of his clothes from when you went home in them.

Pulling out your phone your order some pizzas for the two of you. As you finished placing the order Chris emerged from the bathroom, a towel wrapped around his hips.

“I found some clothes for you to change into and I’ve ordered us some food” you tell him nodding to the pile of clothes on the bed.

He nods before walking over to you and wrapping his arms around you.

“Thank you” he mutters kissing the top of your head.

“It’s nothing” you say waving it off, but Chris shook his head.

“No it’s not nothing, you could tell I wasn’t alright that I was stuck in my head again and you calmed me down without saying a single word. You just knew” Chris says taking your hand in his looking down to avoid your gaze.

“Hey, I told you this before, and I’ll tell you as many times as you need to hear it” you say getting him to look at you.

“I’m here for you no matter what, you don’t have to do it alone when I’m around okay, and whenever you feel comfortable telling me about it you can okay, but only when you’re comfortable not because you think you should” you tell him.

He nods his head smiling down at you cupping your cheek in his large hand and pulling your lips up to meet his. You smile into this kiss glad he was feeling better already.

“C’mon lets go watch a movie or something, your pick whatever you want” you say once you part.

Soon you and Chris were gorging on pizza watching one of Chris’ favourite movies, a Disney movie of course. Once you finished eating the both of you relaxed back on the couch. Both of you lying down, Chris lying between your legs. His head resting on your stomach, you fingers in his hair absentmindedly playing with it.

“They had me doing press on my own” Chris mumbles grabbing your attention your hand pausing in his hair.

You look down at him, but he doesn’t look at you, keeping his eyes on the TV

“The week started out alright, me and a male co-star together doing press. It was fun because we were just joking around a lot of the time” Chris continues.

“Then they put me by myself for the rest of the week so all the attention was on me, and they kept asking about the chemistry between me and the female lead, when I would say there wasn’t anything there they would ask about my love life and I didn’t know how to respond because if I said I was single then it would be a lie and I don’t ever want you to get the wrong idea, but if I gave the impression I was with someone the paps would go crazy trying to work out who” he sighs taking your hand in his.

“I felt cornered and on edge for the rest of the week and all I could think about was how much I wanted you there” he finishes finally looking up at you and you could see the guilt in his eyes.

You cup his cheek and rub it gently with your thumb, “it’s a tricky situation I know but if you feel that it’s easier for you to say you’re single than say it, I know it’s not true and that’s all that matters. And whenever you feel like that just shoot me a text or call me even if it’s the middle of the night because if you need me or want me, I’m there” you tell him looking him directly in the eye to help drive the point home.

He smiles up at you relief washing over his face. He shifts to hover over you before kissing you deeply. You sigh in content into the kiss wrapping your arms around his shoulders.

Chris pulled away for a moment looking over your face biting his lip nervously before speaking.

“I know it’s still pretty early, but I don’t care, because I’ve never felt this way with anyone else but-“ he say tucking a strand of hair behind your ear.

“I love you (Y/N), so goddamn much” he smiles.

You smile up at him widely as you heart swelled so much you were certain it was going to explode. You realise you had been silent for too long, and Chris was probably starting to worry.

“I love you too” you say making Chris smile back down at you before crashing his lips against yours for another passionate kiss. The movies you were watching now completely forgotten.
