Inspired by the above two images + a prompt I lost that goes something along the lines of “you spot a famous person you admire and can’t believe it when they come up to talk and, hang on, they’re actually flirting with you"

Lydia comes to a standstill and her coffee splashes up over the side of her travel mug and splats onto the pavement. It’s not often she’s star struck but coming out of a store ahead of her is Kira Yukimura.

Lydia’s heart beats quickly and her fingers feel sticky against her mug.

Lydia has been in awe of Kira ever since her first appearance on HBO’s urban fantasy series Weapon in the Dark. In awe of might be the wrong phrase. Big fucking crush on is more like it.

Lydia’s watched every interview, be it Jimmy Fallon or 20 second soundbites from red carpet events. And that’s saying something, seeing as Lydia barely has any free time for anything between being showrunner of Times Three and acting as a special guest on several shows.

When Kira became the new face or Burberry eight months ago, it was like Christmas come early. She’s been in a few campaigns since then and Lydia has (well-loved) copies of every magazine she’s featured in. Kira is gorgeous. She’s stunning. Her hair makes even Lydia jealous and her smile is just so warm, Lydia sometimes imagines waking up to it.

She hasn’t moved. Crap. She’s staring and she hasn’t moved. And Kira is walking straight towards her.

Lydia is still panicking when Kira stops in front of her.

“Hi. You’re Lydia Martin, right.”

Lydia nods jerkily.

“I’m Kira-“

“Kira Yukimura.”

And there’s that warm smile Lydia is so in love with.

“Sorry to just come up to you randomly. How are you going?”

Kira’s speaking like they know each other already and it’s throwing Lydia off.

“Ah, fine. Thank you. Just stepped out for some coffee. I needed a break from writing.”

Kira nods and shuffles a little closer to Lydia. “You’re working on Bluewattle Harbour at the moment, right?” Lydia nods. “Cool. I’m really looking forward to it. I managed to get a friend to get me into a plot meeting for it. Amazing. You weren’t there though, which was less amazing. Were you filming something?” Without pausing for breath Kira’s expression drops and she stammers, “I’m rambling. Sorry. I’m nervous. I don’t know why. No, I do. Sorry. More rambling.”

“Don’t apologise.” Is all Lydia can think to offer, still a little blindsided by the fact that her number one celebrity crush is right there, right in front of her. Lydia is not prepared at all. She follows Kira on all her social media accounts. She should have had some forewarning that they’d be in the same city. But no.

Kira’s words seemed to have gone in one ear and out the other, leaving only the impression of her sweet voice behind and no content whatsoever for Lydia to run a conversation with. Okay think, she tells herself, look past her lips for one moment.

“Why are you nervous?” That’s right, isn’t it. She’d said she was nervous.

Kira giggles then seems to react as if her body betrayed her by doing so. She looks away and softly says, “I always get nervous when I talk to pretty girls.”

Lydia blinks.

“I’m sorry, wait. Are you, were you… flirting with me?”

Kira blushes and looks down at her combat boots for a second. Then she looks back up, hesitant.

“Trying to. I’m not very good at it.”

Lydia feels herself smiling, warmth spreading through her. She takes a step towards Kira.

“You don’t need to be.” Kira, still blushing, cocks her head. “I am really interested in you. No flirting needed.”

“Really?”

“Really, really. Since Weapon in the Dark.” Kira’s eyebrows raise. “Yes, I know, that was years ago now.”

“I wish I’d known. I’ve been interested in you since Underside.”

“Oh god, that was a horrible role.” Lydia’s half season stint as a dead cheerleader’s ghost she considered a career lowlight. She may have to rethink that.

“Well, the writing was terrible, but I, uh, kind of liked the outfit?” Kira bites her lip and looks away again but she has no need to. Lydia thinks she looks gorgeous when she’s blushing. And besides, she personally has two posters of a bikini clad Kira’s from a summerbreak film she’d been in last year.

“I didn’t get to keep it.” Lydia teases.

“Oh! No, no.” Kira turns back, looking earnest. “I wasn’t implying that, like, I wanted you to wear it for me.”

“I get it. I was just joking. Besides,” Lydia takes a beat to lean toward Kira, “it’s a little early in the relationship to be discussing that.”

“Relationship?” She nods.

“I like you, you like me. It makes sense.”

“Okay then.”
