2) ben: the movies

Start from the beginning
                                    

about thirty minutes into the movie, you were hooked. you fell in love with the characters and the music. especially the actor who played roger taylor. blonds weren't usually your type, but dayyyuuuummmnnn. every time he came on screen, you couldn't help move around in your seat as your breathing started to pick up. Your friend noticed it too.

So did the guy in the hoodie sitting two seats to your left. You actually noticed him stealing glances at you quite often. Letting your curiosity get the best of you, you took a second to steal a glance yourself. It definitely was a guy. He looked so familiar.

The light reflecting off the screen made his hidden facial features barely pop. It wasn't until you saw the blond hair peek out from under the hood, and you realized who he resembled. It was him. It was roger taylor. Well, the actor to played him obviously. It was like he could sense that you have been staring at him all this time, and looked to see you, snapping your head back to the scream almost too quickly. Like you knew his little disguise.

"Hey (y/r/n). I think the guy who plays the drummer is sittng r-" you whispered into her ear, but she was quick to cut you off.

"shhh (y/n). this the killer queen scene and it's my favorite song!"

rolling your eyes, you ignored her. maybe the guys sitting next you just happened to resemble to him. the sharp jawline, soft and lush lips, and the curls. but you were in London, and you remember your roommate saying he was brutish.

Pushing the thought to the back of your head, you went back to watching the movie.

But there we was again. Only this time, back and better than ever. Singing along to "killer queen" and playing the drums as he wore a white tasked vest, exposed his bare, sweaty chest. wow, what a sight.

"oof damn" came out of your mouth, just above a whisper. you froze, hoping this time it really wasn't the actor sitting just a few feet away from you. but what came next revealed to you that it was.

You heard laughter come from a deep voice that matched him perfectly. Being the fact that you were so into the scene, you didn't notice him scoot himself one seat closer to you.

Now you were freaking out. Your friend seemed completely oblivious to that fact that there were other people and the theater, let alone those people being the people on the screen.

Why did he scoot closer? you thought to yourself. Is it actually him? Or just some British wanker trying to get with you, being that you are practically alone in a dark movie theater.

You then felt a hand placed on your thigh. Turning your head quickly, your suspicions were confirmed. It was him, starring right back at you.

For a moment, you got lost starring into in his big, glassy green eyes. You couldn't control the butterflies and warm feeling shooting through your body.

"you a fan of the drummer I take it?" he asked you. god, his voice was even more tranquilizing in real life, causing you to literally melt under his touch.

instead of freaking out, stuttering and running away like you normally would with most cute guys, an unexpected wave of confidence took over you, encouraging you to flirt back.

"yeah, something like that I guess" both of you let out an airy chuckle at your response.

you felt his breath against your face, considering they were nearly a few centimeters away. the moment was so surreal, and yet you didn't want it to end.

"there a reason you followed me in here?" you asked him. when you got the popcorn earlier, you couldn't help but wonder why these two late comers eagerly followed you in to the top row.

he just barely nodded and kept glancing back and forth between your lips and your eyes.

" I noticed you waiting in line earlier, and couldn't help but admire you love"

A slight blush rose to your cheeks at the compliment. what a lovely chap, you thought.

He noticed your blush, and brought his soft yet large hand up to cup your cheek. Leaning in closer to each other, you closed the gap between you two, crashing your hungry lips into each other

The kiss was nice at first, but grew more passionate as you both craved for more. What felt like 5 minutes for the two of you was apparently the last 25 minutes of the movie. The butterflies were growing out of control, and his grasp that was once on your lower thigh was now dangerously high. While his other hang roamed freely from your cheek, to your neck and trough your hair, you couldn't help but run yours through his hair as well.

Getting completely lost in the intimacy between you two, neither of you noticed the movie coming to an end, as the 'Live Aid' performance wrapped up.

"hey (y/n), what was it you were sa—" your friend just now turned to see what was going on between you and a total stranger.

You broke the kiss in total shock of what had just been occurring for the last thirty minutes.

"Oh my god!" you were starting to panic. "Oh my g—. I am so sorry. You were jus—, and the movie. And you in the movie! I couldn't he—."

But he shut off your rambling with "hey, hey it's ok calm down love. it was completely harmless. look, I'm sorry too."

"No, this wasn't your fault! I couldn't help myself and completely took advantage of you!"

Your friend then interrupted, "hey, just gonna say it, big fan, love your work! But uh, I'll let you two sort this out. Just meet outside (y/n)."

Your friend was quick to leave, and so were his as well, wanting to give you both time to sort out this situation.

He began to talk, "Love, everything is alright. I'm Ben, by the way."

"(Y/n)" you replied, thinking that maybe this actually isn't so bad.

"Wow"

"What?"

"N-nothing. It's just, you have a really beautiful name."

You blushed in response "thanks"

"You know, you seem really nice and lovely, and if you wouldn't mind, I would enjoy catching up with each other some time. You know, maybe actually getting to know each other?" He asked.

Luckily for you, you wanted the same thing. "How about coffee? We could go now if you would like?"

"Sounds fine to me." He responded

He leaned in to give you another quick kiss, and took your hand and led you out the theater.

You then texted your friend, that you were going out to grab a coffee with Ben, and you would be home soon.

As hours past, both of you had so much in common and really enjoyed each other's company. Ben couldn't help what he was feeling. Every time you laughed at one of his cheesy jokes, or ran your fingers through your hair, he was starting to realize he was quickly falling for you.

Little did he know, your were too.
