I Told You So
Timothee Chalamet x reader
Warnings - none, fluff
Word count - 703
a/n - Â request: Timothee gets sick halfway through a vacation and worries heâs ruined it but Y/N assures him he didnât. (They are on vacation so Timothee can take a break from working so much) - it's kind of short, but I hope you enjoy :)

Timothee had been sick for a couple days leading up to the day the two of you were supposed to leave for vacation. You had told him several times that you were fine with canceling the trip or postponing it for a later time when he felt better, but each time he would brush you off and tell you that he was fine.
After all, there were only a handful of times throughout the year where he wasnât busy filming or attending press events. When he did have time off, he used it to make up for all the lost time between the two of you.
âItâs just a small cold,â Timothee had told you the night before the trip.
His head felt heavy and cloudy, his nose was clogged so he couldn't smell, and his body ached. Overall, he felt like shit, but he didnât want to let that stop you guys. He knew you had been looking forward to this vacation for months, and he didnât want you having to take care of him during his time off.
âBabe, just a couple days ago you were telling me how terrible you felt, and now all of a sudden you feel better?â you countered. â Youâre sick, Timothee, just admit it.â
Somehow, he hadnât gotten you sick, despite being around you practically every minute of the day. Your back was to him as you continued to clean the kitchen. You could hear his feet moving against the tile floor, coming closer to you, but you kept your back facing him. He took the cloth you were using to clean the counters out of your hand, trying to get your attention. You let out a sigh as you lean against the counter and let your eyes meet his.Â
âI promise you, Iâm good to go on this trip,â he insists as he gives you a reassuring smile, hoping you would just drop it.
Which you do. Against your better judgement, you let Timothee convince you. Throughout the plane ride, you kept looking over at him to make sure he was okay â he had noticed this out of the corner of his eye, but he chose to ignore it.
When the two of you had arrived at your rented villa on the beach, It was Timotheeâs idea to not rest and to explore the area. The two of you had even gone for a swim in the ocean later that night.
On the second day of your vacation is when Timothee took a turn for the worse. When he woke up that morning, he felt like had gotten hit by a truck, he had no energy to move. He knew he couldnât lie to you anymore.
âIâm sorry,â he told you as you gave him some medicine that you had stuffed in your luggage just in case he needed it. And boy did he need it.
âItâs okay, really,â you say as you sit on the bed next to him. You place the back of your hand on his forehead to check his temperature.
âNo, itâs not okay. I didnât want you to have to take care of me on your vacation. I ruined it for you,â he sighs as he looks at you. He felt awful, and it wasnât from the pounding headache he had.
âYou didnât ruin it, Timothee,â you reassure him.
âBut we canât do any of the things you wanted to do,â he says.
âWeâll be here for another week, Iâm sure youâll feel better in a couple of days. The most important part is that I get to spend time with you,â you say as you run a hand through his curls.Â
âYeah, spend time with your sick boyfriend,â he mumbles.
You playfully roll your eyes. âHow about you stop complaining and let someone take care of you for once. Itâs about time I pay you back for all the times you took care of me.â
Timothee thinks for a moment before saying, âYou know what, youâre right. This is overdue. Remember that time when you had food poisoning and you threw up on- "
âDonât say another word,â you cut him off. He just gives you a smirk in return.

And the rest is up to you. Thank you." - read the full request here. i think 2k words is just gonna be my average at this point lol, i hope you enjoy :)


âDo I have to?â You had asked your parents one night at dinner â they had basically turned it into an intervention.
Your parents werenât a huge fan of you just lounging around the house all the time with nothing to do, although you had no problem with just kicking back and watching a little television. They thought you needed to get out and socialize and make some friends.Â
You werenât necessarily opposed to the idea, but making friends wasnât an easy thing for you. You came off as shy at first, but once you got comfortable in your environment you became pretty talkative and outgoing. This was also a problem when having conversations with people because sometimes they thought you didnât want to talk, or even worse, that you didnât like them for some reason.Â
You wanted to come out of your shell, so when your parents told you that they wanted you to get a job, you were hesitant but you agreed.Â
At least they werenât kicking you out of the house.
What they didnât know is that you would get a job at the local bar where all the Vandals hung out, the townâs motorcycle club. It was easy for you since Johnny, a close family friend â leader and owner of the club â practically owned the bar, so when you had asked him for a job, he was completely fine with it.
Your parents thought you would get a job at something like the grocery store or the book store down the street, but since they loved Johnny they were okay with you working at the bar.Â
So now here you are, your third week as a bartender and you enjoyed it. For the most part, the guys were pretty respectful and you rarely had any problems â mainly because Johnny basically threatened them into treating you right before you even started.Â
There was this instance a couple days ago with a drunk guy, though. He kept getting closer and closer to you, and when it became clear he wasnât going to leave you alone, Johnny interrupted and kicked the guy out of the bar.
You told Johnny that you had it handled, but he had just dismissed you and said, âNo lady should have to deal with that.â
It was pretty obvious that this wasnât your usual crowd. You enjoyed wearing colorful clothes and jewelry, but you did try and tone it down a little so that you didnât stick out too much. Thankfully, you had made a couple of friends so you didnât feel too out of place.
âYou should come out riding with us later,â Kathy, a new friend, tells you from the other side of the bar counter.
âOn a motorcycle? Are you crazy?â You ask as you lean against the counter. A lot of the guys had already gotten their drinks, and they didnât want to get too drunk for the ride later, so you didnât have too much to do.
âWhat else would I be talking about?â she playfully rolls her eyes.
âI donât know, maybe a car ride?â
âWhen was the last time you had fun?â She asks you as she taps the ashes off the end of her cigarette.
âYesterday while watching some game show,â you joke, and Kathy just laughs.
âHow are you two doing over here?â Benny walks up with a glass in his hand, taking a seat next to Kathy.
Benny was another one of your new friends, and you enjoyed whenever he was around. Mostly because you liked how he made your heart flutter just by looking at you or giving you that smirk of his. You hate to admit it, but you were a goner the first day you had met him.
He wasnât your usual type, but who cares. The whole point of this job was to get you to become more open. You highly doubted that the feelings were reciprocated on his end, though.
But little did you know they were. Just like you, Benny had fallen for you as soon as he laid eyes on you. He had just entered the bar and joined a game of pool with some of the other Vandals.
As he was lining up his shot, he heard a laugh that he hadnât heard before. All the laughs he was used to were from the other Vandals or the raspy laughs from the girls that hung around and smoked.
Your laugh was different â light and airy and sometimes started off as just a giggle and got interrupted with a snort. It was also loud enough to be heard over the regular chatter of the bar, making Benny miss his shot.
The guys had joked and asked if he was distracted, but he just brushed it off and tried to regain his focus.
When he looked up furrowed eyebrows to see who was causing the noise powerful enough to throw him off his game, he noticed you standing there behind the bar. You are laughing at something Johnny had said to you as you poured him a drink.
Benny ended up missing his next two shots, and he surprisingly wasnât upset when he lost the game.
Benny needed to know who you were, and he made that his mission from then on. He tried to send you signals that he was interested in you, but for some reason you werenât picking them up. He loved the way you giggled at something he said or how your soft hand accidentally brushed his as you handed him his drink.Â
He was trying so hard to be patient, including now as he saw you talking with Kathy with a gentle smile.
âIâm trying to get her to join us later tonight for the night ride,â Kathy answers him.
âAnd?â Benny asks hopefully, his eyebrows raised as he looks at you with humor written across his face.
âNot happening,â you shake your head.
âWhy not?â he continues.
âBecause she doesnât like fun,â Kathy butts in before you can answer.
âHey, I do like to have fun. Itâs just that my version of fun and yours is different,â you defend.
âHave you ever been on a motorcycle?â Benny asks you as he rubs his hand over his chin. When you shake your head in response, he asks, âDo you want to?â
âNot really a huge fan of putting my life on the line like that,â you tell him. Benny chuckles, Kathy joining in.Â
âItâs not that dangerous, we donât always drive fast. Tonightâs just a cruise. Come on,â Benny says.
His intense gaze is almost enough to make you say yesâŚbut no. Being on the back of a motorcycle didnât seem as safe as being inside a closed up car.
âIâm okay, plus my parents might kill me if I stay out too late,â you say.
âDoesnât Johnny know your parents? Iâm sure they wouldnât be too mad,â says Kathy.
Bennyâs face contorts into surprise at Kathyâs statement. He looks back at you for confirmation, and you give him a silent nod.
âWhat about me?â Johnny questions as he hears his name being mentioned. He gives you a smile as he hands you his glass to refill.
Good, hopefully he can help you get out of this.
âWeâre trying to convince her to come out with us, but sheâs too afraid,â Kathy explains. You let out a scoff.
âOh, thatâs a good idea,â Johnny agrees, taking a sip from his glass.
What?
Your eyes widen as your lips slightly parted in disbelief.
Johnny shakes his head in amusement at your expression. âI promise itâs not that bad, youâll be safe with us. If you get in any trouble with your parents, Iâll talk to them myself.â
You look at the three pairs of eyes staring back at you, waiting for your answer â Kathy with her eyebrows raised, Benny with a daring look behind his eyes, and Johnny with a smirk.
âFine,â you surrender, throwing your hands in the air as the group in front of you lets out a small cheer.Â
As the night at the bar comes to an end, the bikers take that last sip from their glass and throw on their colors, before filing out the door and heading toward their bikes. Hoots and hollers fill the air as everyone begins to hype each other up.Â
âYou can ride with me,â you hear Benny tell you as he walks past you and toward his own motorcycle. He doesnât look back at you as he starts up the bike and waits as everyone else does the same.
Get on a bike. With Benny.
You spot Kathy on a bike with Cal. When she sees you looking, she nods her head towards Benny and smiles. You inhale a deep breath to give yourself before heading towards Benny, who offers you his hand as you climb on behind him.
âWell Iâll be damned, is Rainbow finally coming?â Brucie laughs when he sees you. He gave you the nickname when he saw you on your first day dressed in pastel colors and joked about how bright your clothes were. The name has stuck with you ever since, unfortunately.
âHell yeah,â Cockroach shouts, along with a few others.
You roll your eyes and try to hide the smile forming across your lips. Benny instructs you to wrap your arms around his torso, which you do with uncertainty. Youâre not sure how high or low you should have your hands and how tight to hold onto him.Â
This feels oddly intimate.Â
He smells like cigarettes â which would normally be a huge turn off if it was someone else â along with sweat from the multiple rounds of pool he played throughout the night, and his natural musk.Â
Benny mustâve noticed your nervousness because he grabs your hands and places them on his abdomen, allowing you to feel the muscles beneath his shirt. He gives your hands a small pat as if to keep them in place before following the rest of the Vandals as they pull out onto the street.
Youâre not sure exactly what you were expecting, but it wasnât this. The way the wind whips around and through, taking your breath away in such an addicting way. The way the motorcycle vibrates your whole body, only intensifying your experience. Youâre not sure how fast Bennyâs going, but you couldnât care less.
You hate to admit it, but the ride is over too quickly for your liking. As Benny separates from everyone else and pulls up in front of your house, you realize the smile currently on your face hasnât left since the ride started.
Benny comes to a slow stop before cutting the engine and helping you off the bike and onto the sidewalk. Your body is still buzzing from the vibration of the bike, but you enjoy the feeling.
Thereâs a silence between the two of you as he watches you for a moment, looking you up and down.
âWhat?â You laugh nervously as you shift under his gaze. You wrap your arms around your body, not just to shield yourself from the window, but from him.
Benny smiles and shakes his head. âNothing. I take it you enjoyed the ride.â
âI did actually,â you nod.
âSo you wouldnât be opposed to doing it again sometime?â he asks.
âI guess not,â you say.
âWith me,â he adds, more as a statement than a question.
You blink. âWhat?â
âYou know what. Iâm asking you to come riding with me,â he says casually.
You want to say something, but honestly you're at a loss for words.
âCome on, you know you want to,â he smirks.
âAnd why would I do that?â you question.
âBecause I want you to,â he shrugs his shoulders as he looks out into the distance. Benny takes a breath and hesitates for a second before looking back at you. Itâs now or never. âDo you know how long Iâve been trying to get your attention?â
âMy attention?â you ask, but you think you know where heâs headed with this.
âYes, your attention. Iâve been flirting with you pretty much everyday since you started working at the bar, and you donât seem to notice. I mean, some of the other guys have picked up on the fact that I like you.â
âI thought you were just being nice,â you tell him, your forehead creasing.
âNice?â Benny scoffs with a laugh. âI donât think anyoneâs ever called me that.âÂ
âI donât know, I just-I thought you were being nice since Iâm always hanging around Kathy!â
âEven Kathy has noticed!â he throws a hand up.
âLower your voice!â you hush him. Itâs after midnight, and you donât want everyone on the street to start looking out of their windows.
You really donât know what to say now, though. Like, what the hell have you been doing all this time?
Well, to be fair, people donât usually flirt with you.
âSoâŚ.â
âSoâŚ.â Benny drags out. âWill you put me out of my misery and go on a date with me? It doesnât have to be anything special, unless you want it to. We can just go for a ride or I could take you out to eat. Anything you want,â Benny looks at you with hope written all over his face.Â
A grin slowly made its way across your face as you took in Benny. Is he nervous?
âI mean, I canât really say no because we see each other all the time at the bar anyways,â you joke, causing Benny to let out a chuckle.
âIs that a yes then?â he asks.
âYes,â you confirm. Benny nods, satisfied with your answer.
âI guess I should probably go â youâre cold, and Iâm pretty sure your mother has been looking out the window this whole time,â Benny smirks.
Your mouth drops as you whip your head around just in time to see someone move away from the window on the second floor. Thereâs no doubt youâll be flooded with a ton of questions later.
You turn back around when you hear Bennyâs engine start back up.
âIâll see you soon, Rainbow,â Benny shoots you a win, stealing the nickname Brucie had given you. Â
âThatâs not my name!â you shout after him, and he just gives you a quick glance back before continuing down the road.

What Were You Thinking
Austin Butler x reader
Warnings - none, fluff
Word count - 2849
a/n - I watched The Bikeriders, so now i'm ready for the benny imagines. Also, I gotta step up my writing game. I hope you enjoy :)


Of course youâre not ignoring him. You havenât talked to him and you havenât answered any of his messages or calls, but that doesnât mean youâre ignoring him, right? Well, maybe.
A couple of nights ago, you and Austin shared a moment after dinner with some crew members and, ever since then youâve been casually avoiding him. He had been on his way out of the hotel to take a late night stroll to clear his head and asked you if you would like to join him. Thinking nothing of it and needing a release as well, you accepted his offer.
The two of you ended up on the roof of the hotel since no one would be able to find you two there, and after talking for a bit about whatever came to mind, you both just stood in silence as you looked out at the city.
You donât remember exactly how it happened, but one moment Austin had begun to confess his growing feelings towards you, and then the next the two of you were kissing. It wasnât a complete surprise because the two of you have grown closer and closer throughout the duration of filming, and you felt some tension between you guys, but you thought you were just being delusional.
Now, itâs not like you didnât feel the same way towards him because you did â he had you hooked from the moment you first met him â you supposed you just didnât expect this moment to ever happen. And itâs not like the kiss wasnât great, Austin was gentle and you felt so safe in his arms â not like you had a list of experiences to compare it to.
When the two of you parted ways for the night, you were on good terms, but when you woke up the next morning everything hit you. Your mind started to race as you began to wonder if Austin had regretted the kiss, or if he had had too much to drink last night which resulted in his confession, or maybe you were just getting pranked.
Then you remembered that Austin isnât one to drink until getting drunk, and he isnât a huge fan of pranks, meaning that everything that had happened the night before was real. This didnât make you feel better at all, though.Â
You didnât have to see him that day because you had a flight to catch your next destination of the press tour, and Austin had some talk show to attend meaning he would be on a later flight. That didnât stop him from reaching out to you, though, and in the beginning you were texting him back, but then you panicked and stopped.
You had told your assistant everything that had happened since you felt so confused, but she didnât really say anything except how she knew it all along and how you shouldnât be worried because Austin was the one to confess his feelings first.Â
This didnât make you feel better either.
You canât stay away from him forever though because now youâre about to attend your movie premiere in Sydney, which means you have to see him during pictures and the interviews.
Your assistant walks in on you pacing around your hotel room and asks, âDo you need a paper bag to breathe into?â
You stop your pacing to glare at her and say, âYouâre not funny.â You decide to look out of the window to distract yourself, only to notice the drops of rain beginning to fall from the sky.Â
Great.
âI donât understand what youâre so worried about, itâs just Austin,â your assistant tells you.
âYou mean the guy I made out with and then completely avoided him after? What the hell am I supposed to say to him?â you ask, about to run a hand over your face until you remember the full face of makeup you have on.
âHow about a âhiâ. Youâre making this way harder than it has to be, yâknow. Itâs not like heâs going to be mad at you, I donât even think he has an angry bone in his body,â your assistant laughs. âNow, can you please finish sulking? The car is waiting downstairs.â
You roll your eyes as you step away from the window and give yourself one last final look in the mirror. You canât deny the fact that your dress is gorgeous, along with your hair and makeup, making you feel confident and prepared for the dozens of pictures you're about to take.
Your assistant comes up to stand behind you as well, giving you a once-over with a smile. âYou look amazing, and I know Austin will feel the same.â
When you arrive at the theatre, there are dozens of fans standing along the barricade waiting for cast members to come over and say hello to them and sign autographs. As you step out of the vehicle, with the help of your driver offering his hand, you notice Austin immediately as he moves down the long line of fans to sign whatever they hand him.
His assistant and publicist are behind him trying to keep an umbrella over his head, but Austin being Austin doesnât care about the rain messing up his styled hair or his fancy suit and continues to hold conversations as best as he can. That doesnât stop his team from surrounding him and trying to keep him looking nice for everyone.
You, on the other hand, would like to stay as dry as possible.
The volume of the crowd suddenly rises as everyone notices your arrival, making Austin turn around. His eyes meet yours and for a second you freeze and donât know what to do. The weather has made him look even better, if thatâs even possible, and the wet hair definitely does something to you.
After taking a moment, you finally snap out of it and give him a small smile, which he returns before continuing your walk.
Austin watches from his spot as you walk away, your back towards him. He canât help but admire and appreciate your appearance, and he canât wait to tell you how beautiful you are.Â
That is, if you actually come near him. Heâs not completely offended that youâve gone distant from him over the last couple of days, but he is confused. He knows his feelings for you are reciprocated, so heâs just guessing and hoping that you freaked out over everything.
Austin gets lost in thought for a second before he hears the girl next to him giggle to her friend because they obviously witnessed the whole thing. He clears his throat before smiling at her and signing the action figure of one of his past characters that she hands him. A laugh leaves his lips at the fact that the thing even exists.
Once you meet some fans yourself, itâs time for the interview and photographs part of the premiere, which youâre not completely looking forward to. Austin comes up beside you as you pose in front of the backdrop for the paparazzi and places a hand on your waist.
Under any other circumstances, his touch wouldnât be bothering you since this isnât anything new, but now youâre just finding it distracting. His cologne and natural scent fills your nostrils, and you could definitely pass out. You feel yourself start to sweat and your heartbeat begins to beat faster as you try and focus on smiling for the pictures.
All the while, you can see your assistant standing off to the side and smirking at the two of you.
The thought of firing her crosses your mind.
Then, Austin leans down to whisper in your ear, âYou look beautiful tonight.â He pulls away as he smiles down at you, and your fake grin for the cameras automatically turns into a genuine one.
You look up at him and muster up âthank youâ before quickly looking away. Austinâs gaze lingers on you for a couple seconds more, before looking away as well.Â
How are you supposed to survive the rest of the night, if you canât even handle something as small as this?Â
It eventually comes time for the interviews, and throughout each one all you can think about is body heat radiating off of him onto you as he stands close to you. You feel your face get warm, but that doesnât mean itâs because of him. It could be from the questions youâre being asked, which you feel are beginning to get repetitive.
Every once in a while, you swear he feels closer than normal, which could easily be written off as Austin just listening to the answers you give.
After everything moves inside, you immediately leave the group to make a beeline for the bathroom â to relieve yourself of course, but to also give yourself a chance to breathe. Thereâs plenty of time before you have to go on stage along with the rest of the cast â and Austin â so might as well relax, right?
Wrong.
When you finally decide youâve spent enough time in the bathroom, you leave, only to run into Austin himself, catching you completely off guard. You feel your heart drop.Â
Heâs leaning against the wall with his hands in his pockets as he watches you step out. His eyebrows raise at you in curiosity, silently wanting to address the elephant in the room.
âItâs kind of weird for a man to linger outside of the ladies restroom,â you joke, not knowing what else to say.
Austin smirks, âI know, I usually donât do it, but you gave me no choice â since youâve been avoiding and all.â
Also, your assistant told him where to find you, but he wasnât going to tell you that.
You swallow. âI havenât.â
âOh really? Then what do you call what youâve been doing for the past couple of days?â Austin tilts his head.
âHow do you know I didnât get sick or something? Or maybe I lost my phone, that happens yâknow,â you tell him as you fold your arms over your chest.
A few people come walking down the hallway, and Austin waits for them to pass before answering, âBecause you always make sure that you have your phone, and youâve still been posting on social media.â
Oops.Â
âI thought you didnât really go on social media,â you point out, your eyebrows furrowing.
âThatâs not the point,â he playfully rolls his eyes. Heâs about to say something when another group of people walk past, some of them entering the bathroom that you two are still in front of for some reason.
Then Austin motions with his head for you to follow him, which you do. He opens a couple of doors and closes them back before finally finding an empty room for the two of you to talk. He lets you walk in first, his hand on the small of your back, before following and closing the door behind you two.
The space was small and had theatre equipment scattered around. You put some distance in between you and Austin as he turns to face you. If this was any other circumstance, being locked in a room with Austin Butler wouldnât seem so bad.
Austin runs a hand through his damp hair before stuffing his hands back into his pockets. âSo?â he speaks up, wanting you to address the situation.Â
âSoâŚwhat?â you ask as you casually look around the room, trying to look at anything but him. You canât handle his blue eyes burning into your soul at the moment, but then again you never could because itâs Austin.
âYou canât just avoid me forever. What happened to you?â he asks you softly, and you honestly donât know what to say.
âHey, I basically shut down after we kissed and now I canât look you in the eye because I donât know if what happened that night is actually real. Whatâs been going on with you?â
Yeah, no.
You feel your ears begin to grow hot and a weird sensation in your stomach as Austin stares you down. He takes a few steps closer to you and moves his head, trying to get you to look at him.
âYeah, yeah I know,â you mumble. Not knowing what to do with your arms, you fold them across your chest once again.Â
âTalk to me.â He takes another step closer, his expression gentle. âDid I cross a line by kissing you? Did you have a change of heart? What is it?â
âI justâI donât know, okay?â you say, dramatically throwing your hands in the air.
Then Austinâs eyes squint and he smirks. âYou freaked out didnât you?â
A scoff leaves your mouth because how dare he accuse you of something so true?
You shoot him a glare before saying, âSomething like that.â
âI knew it. I know you too well.â
Austin comes closer until heâs standing right in front of you, then takes your hands into his.
âWhy didnât you just come talk to me? We couldâve worked it out.â
âBecause I donât know what Iâm doing, Austin. Your career is taking off and you're this big celebrity, and Iâm just someone at the beginning of their career â a nobody,â you tell him, looking up at him.
Austinâs eyes furrow and the feeling of hurt flashes across his face. âYouâre not a nobody, donât say that. Look where we are right now, at a premiere for a movie that you're the lead in. And who cares about my career, that doesnât matter. Iâm a human just like you. I like you for you.â
âCome on, Austin,â you sigh as you go to back up, but his grip on your hands tighten.
When heâs sure youâre not going to move again, he places his hands on both sides of your face, forcing you to look at him. Forcing you to see him.
âWhat do I need to do to show you Iâm telling the truth?â he asks, his thumb gently caressing your cheek. His voice is low now as his eyes flicker between yours. His feelings about you are genuine and he needs you to notice that.
You get that same feeling in your chest that you felt that night on the hotel rooftop. When the air was silent, and the two of you were put in your own bubble. You remember the way his hands felt on your body as he held you close, so tenderly.
âItâs not you, itâs me,â you admitted, though it was obvious.
âThen get out of your head. Do you really think I would be holding you in this extremely dusty room if I didnât care for you. You do realize how close we are, right?â he tries to assure you.
How could you not? You could feel his breath on your face everytime he talked. His scent overruled the smell of the tiny room, making it that much easier to focus on him.
âYeah,â you answer. Your voice is low now too, matching his.Â
After a beat of silence, Austin says, âWould you run away again, if I kissed you right now?â
You shake your head ânoâ because thereâs no way you can trust your voice right now. Austin waits another moment to see if you would back away, but when you donât, he leans in to connect your lips with his.
His lips are just like you remembered it, soft and plump, as he moves in sync with you. Your hands move to rest on his chest before slowly moving up to wrap around his neck. You feel Austin smile into the kiss, and you canât help but do the same. Austinâs hands leave your face before landing on your waist, pulling you even move into him, making sure you were the only air he was breathing.
When the two of you finally have to pull away for some much needed air, your faces still stay close enough for your noses to barely touch.
You feel like you could just stay here and forget the movie premiere, but the idea immediately gets tossed out the window when Austinâs phone buzzes in his pocket. He keeps one hand on your waist as he goes to dig it out, only to reveal text messages from his publicist wondering where the two of you were.
Right as Austinâs thumb moves to text her back, another two pop up.
âWell sheâs definitely not happy,â Austin laughs.
âWe should get back before she kills you,â you say as you watch the messages roll in.
âYeah, I guess,â he agrees as he answers his publicist before re-pocketing his phone, a hint of disappointment in his tone.
As he walks you to the door and opens it, you stop to say, âJust for the record, I didnât run. I would call it more like slowly taking a couple steps back.â
âWhatever you say, just donât do it again because I will have to chase after you,â he cheeses down at you.
That honestly doesnât sound too bad.
What were you thinking to avoid this man?

Tysm for the tag @austinbutlerslovers !đ
Hereâs some lines from an Austin request Iâm working on :)
âPut him down,â you laugh.
âHim?â He gives you a look. âYouâre stuffed animal is a âhimâ?â
You continue to laugh as you walk towards him and snatch the plushie out of his hand. âWhy are you jealous?â you joke.
âOf course not, thereâs nothing to be jealous of,â Austin snickers and goes to bend down to retrieve something else out of a box, but stops when he sees you toss the stuffed animal onto his bed. âWhat are you doing?â

pat furrows his brow, sucking on the lollipop as if soothing himself before leaning over and swiping a third of your pile of treats over to his side.
"that was a tax." he says, voice muffled as the berry flavored candy sticks to the inside of his cheek. you can already see it turning his mouth a dark shade of pink.
