Twenty-Four ~ Chris Evans X Reader

Chapter 2 ~ Dinner and a Dress

It had been eight years since I had last talked to him and even now it still brought back fond memories of what we had. Tossing the remote down on the couch beside me I prop my head up on my fist as I watch the movie. It had been one of my favorites and even though he was one of the main characters it wasn't about to stop me from watching it. As I sat there unconsciously running my fingers through Sebastian's hair my mind drifts back to a similar experience with a person I thought I had loved.

"Come on," Chris says as he looks up at me his head resting in my lap.

"What?" I ask a smile covering my lips.

"You can't tell me you actually like this movie?"

"Um yeah, I do what of it?" I say narrowing my eyes at him.

"The last thing I pictured you as was an oldies girl." He says smiling up at me.

"Uh excuse you; To Wong Foo is a classic, not oldies." I say as I look away from him back to the TV right as the style or substance scene comes on.

"Okay but seriously," He says drawing my attention from the screen.

"Yes?" I say raising an eyebrow at him.

"It's a good movie I'm not gonna lie, but it surprises me that you like it."

"Really?" I ask raising an eyebrow. "Why does it surprise you?"

"Well," He says clearing his throat, "From what you told me about your past, I figured you weren't able to watch stuff like this."

"Oh believe me I wasn't." I say quickly as a chuckle escapes my lips. "Let's just say my father was very strict about stuff like that. No drag queens, pretty much anything LGBT related were banned from our house."

"That must've sucked."

"Oh yeah, especially when your favorite movie was this." I say as a chuckle escaped my lips as I look from him to the TV in front of us.

"So do you ever think about going back?" He asks and my heart tightens in my chest.

"No," I say flatly as I narrow my eyes.

"Can't say I blame you," He says pulling my hand from his hair and bringing it to his lips. "From what you've told me about them I'm surprised you stayed as long as you did."

"I didn't have much of a choice," I say my eyes turning sad.

"Well you're free now," He says and I start laughing. "What?"

"When you said that, all I could think of was the little old guy from The Hunchback of Notre Dame."

"Oh the I'm free at last guy?" He asks a smile covering his lips.

"Yes!" I say my laughing growing louder.

"I loved that guy, he totally made the movie."

"That he did."

"Okay, so name something you miss about Oklahoma." He asks as he intertwines his fingers with yours.

"Oh wow, okay, um the food, definitely the food." I reply making him laugh.

"Just the food?" He asks and I smile.

"Not just the food, but it is a big factor. I also miss the weather and the countryside."

"Not a city girl, huh?"

"Oh I love the city don't get me wrong, I just miss the country occasionally. That's all."

"We'll have to take a trip there sometime." He says quickly and I smile.

"You'd hate it," I say as I look from hi back to the TV.

"Don't know until I try." He replies making a bright smile cover my lips.

"Then I guess we'll really have to take that trip huh?"

"Yup," He says as and I smile as I lean down and gently place my lips against his.

Suddenly I am brought back to the present as Sebastian rolls over on the couch wrapping his arms around my waist. I look over to see that the timer on the TV had made it turn off and I let out a heavy sigh. I feel something wet fall down my cheek and I instantly reach up and realize that I had been crying. Sniffling as I wipe the tears away I very carefully pull out of Sebastian's grasp. As I stand up I walk into my room and return with a blanket. I very carefully drape it over his sleeping form before I walk back into my room and climb into bed. I hadn't thought of Chris in a while, why were the memories just now coming back into my mind? Perhaps it was because of the premier where I would undoubtedly have to see him again. I just hoped he wasn't still angry.
