Jwct actor/Hollywood au. Walk with me.
The camp fam were all child stars who were on the same show for years. I'm talking grew up together throughout the seasons of this show. During the show, Yaz and Sammy fell in love but never did anything about it for fear of public image, and Kenji and Brooklynn got together around the same time their characters in the show got together. Everyone loved that the main couple was actually together in real life.
After the show, everyone parted ways despite them having always said that nothing could break them up.
Yaz left the acting scene entirely to pursue athletics (and also she wanted a career where she would be more free to be herself)
Sammy started playing girl next door types. She hated it. The media thought she played the role perfect, but she knew she could do so much more. Didn't help that she always did romcoms and therefore was constantly having to pretend to be in love with a man.
Sammy and Yaz broke contact shortly after their show ended due to "irreconcilable differences". Or at least that's what Sammy told the press about their friendship ending.
Ben also left the acting scene, but unlike Yaz, he left to get into the music industry. He'd tried to persuade Brooklynn to follow him, but she couldn't bring herself to. She was too comfortable in her success and she wasn't gonna fuck it up.
Darius began playing action heroes, which he liked. That's what he'd always wanted. But he missed his friends so much. No one except he and Kenji knew the reason why they'd stopped talking. Once Kenji and Darius had grown apart, everyone else followed. They were the glue. He probably became the biggest name after the show, tying with Brooklynn. They were kinda always silently competing despite being in very, very different genres. And of course, despite no longer speaking. They just...kept tabs on each other.
Brooklynn and Kenji stayed together for six years after the end of their show. They were the only two that kept in touch, because they were fucking living together.
Brooklynn kinda could do anything and make it work. Thrillers? She had that in the bag. Dramas? Too easy. She dipped her toes in musicals a few times, loved it honestly. Ben called her up after she got one of her dream roles after not hearing from him for years. But for some reason, anything dystopian was her favorite (and also what she was best known for). Brooklynn was a household name. So was Darius, yes. But it was slightly different with her, because he never strayed from action movies. And he probably never would. That was his thing. But Brooklynn? She could do anything.
Kenji got big too, no doubt. But he'd never managed to reach Darius or Brooklynn's level of success, and it really, really fucked with him. Especially because his father was an acting legend, and expected him to follow in that.
Brooklynn and Kenji's relationship turned sour after so many years. And yknow...after too many months of fighting and Kenji being adamant that they could "fix things"...yknow Brooklynn maybe sorta most certainly cheated. The kicker? She cheated on him with a woman. For months. Some model she'd met at her last premier. Rest assured, not only did this cause uproar for the media and her fans, but Yaz and Sammy were caught so off guard. What do you mean their childhood best friend was into girls the whole time they were fighting so hard to keep their relationship under wraps? Maybe they could come out now...Not the point, Brooklynn, are you gay?
"What? No, I'm bi. Obviously."
After the break up, Kenji and Brooklynn cut ties, but the rest of the group started talking again. At first it was them talking about Kenji and Brooklynn, but then they all reached out to the ex couple individually.
Sammy and Yaz end up reconnecting after having spent countless nights on the phone gossiping and (on Sammy's part) shit talking Brooklynn. Eventually, those calls turned into a tearful reunion at Sammy's place in the country, and that turned into going out when they were both in New York City or LA, and then that turned into going out for coffee whenever they had time, and then that turned into Yaz in Sammy's bed in her Texas home. And that turned into them deciding to hard launch their relationship to the world.
basically, everyone who had been a fan of the fams show was just asking themselves "Wait...was everyone on that show gay?"
Brooklynn ends up getting a role she'd been vying after for months, only to find that her co lead is none other than Darius fucking Bowman. She hadn't worked with him for years, but it was like breathing for both of them. She also found that her chemistry with him was so much better than it had ever been with Kenji. Huh. Maybe there was a reason so many fans of their show had been so upset when her character had ended up with Kenji's character?
And why does she love being on his arm during the press tour? And why is he so hot now? She'd seen every single one of his movies. They don't do him justice.
Meanwhile, Kenji takes a period of absence from working to regain composure. He takes a trip to Italy. He finds that Ben had been living there when he wasn't touring. He finds that after enough nights laughing on the floor with a bottle of wine, evenings spent making out on the balcony of Ben's apartment, and mornings waking up to blonde hair in his face...he doesn't want to go back at all.
Are you still walking with me?
Don't ask me who the model she cheated with in this scenario is. I think you already know.
