Summary: Based on my true life events.
(Quotation marks in text messages are real things people have said to me.)
===
You were an actor. Were you succeeding? Maybe a little.
You had good money, you had a place in Brooklyn, you thought everything was perfect.
Until you realized...you weren't happy.
You were a big fan of Sebastian Stan. He was your idol. You've been following your dreams since you were in 7th grade. You've been waiting for this acting career your whole life!
But...what are you waiting for?
You scrolled through Pinterest and Instagram, looking at how happy Sebastian was.
And how he didn't know you existed.
"What the hell am I doing?" You thought to yourself. "I've been waiting my whole life to do a movie with Sebastian. What am I waiting for? For him to DM me? He doesn't even know who I am!"
You huffed a breath, turning off your phone.
You started packing a bag of clothing and essentials, booking a meet and greet with him, and booking tickets to LA.
You drove to the airport, waiting for your flight, before boarding.
You texted your group chat of what you thought were your friends.
Y/n:
I'm off to meet Sebby! <3
Friend 1 (I don't wanna say names or just make 'em up.):
"Oh my God this is hilarious! Will you grow up already? He's too old for you!"
Y/n:
:(
Friend 2:
"This is unhealthy for you."
Friend 3:
Yay! I'm so glad you're able to meet him! :D
Y/n:
Thanks @Friend3!
Friend 4:
Uhm...who's that?
Friend 5:
"Grow up Y/n."
You turned off your phone, sighing.
"Mean friends?"
You turned to look next to you on the airplane, almost dropping your phone.
Sebastian Stan was sitting right next to you! On an airplane!
"Y-you're Sebastian Stan!" You said.
Sebastian smiled.
"That's me," He said.
"Wow," You said. "Uhm, you probably don't know who I am, but I'm an actor. I'm Y/n L/n."
"Sorry I don't know who you are," Sebastian apologized, shaking your hand. "But, Y/n, what brings you to LA?"
"Well, if you didn't see my messages earlier," You said. "I actually booked a meet and greet with you."
"Ohh, really?" Sebastian said, chuckling.
"Well, I guess I can get a refund," You joked.
"No!" Sebastian said, having you flinch. "I mean, you can if you want. But, I'd love to go do something with you?"
You raised an eyebrow.
"You don't wanna do anything with me," You said, settling back into your airplane chair. "I'd be too clingy to you. You know, you were my idol since I was in 7th grade. You're the reason why I'm an actor now."
Sebastian smiled.
"Well, I'm glad I could make your dream come true," He said.
"I really want to do a movie with you," You said. "And be friends with you. Maybe even best friends. And maybe with Evans and Mackie. I don't know!"
Sebastian laughed.
"Well, we can do all those things," He said. "And I'll help you make those dreams come true."
Follow your dreams, no matter what people tell you. <3
