The day had finally arrived. That same day you'd be attending to the long-awaited Stranger Things' season 3 premiere, but not as a fan, as a guest. Which was more than what you could have never imagined. You, Y/N, whose name was completely unknown a few months before, was going to one of the biggest social events of the year.
All that wouldn't be so exciting if there wasn't because of the story behind crossing the line between living in the most absolute ignorance to being recognized when going to buy groceries. The reason was your mother, that woman made your life change drastically without even noticing that. As everybody knew, she worked as a makeup artist on the set of Stranger Things, she had been working there since the very first season. The difference? You were still studying when the show started filming seasons 1 and 2. But what happened that time is that as soon as you finished your studies, you got a job offered to work as your mother's assistant during the filming of season 3. How would you say no to that offer?
The time passed by, you made lots of friends. Joe and Maya were always next to you every time they had a break moment; Millie, Noah, Finn and all the kids loved the crazy and stupid word games you liked to come up with while applying prosthetics or makeup on their faces, and Charlie, he was just a sweetheart. But then, as if it was a tornado, he appeared on your life and seemed to wanted to stay on it. They guy with a mullet, also named Dacre. You realised he was the most precious human on this world the first time your eyes met, and he, well, he just wanted to be as close to you as possible. It could be perfectly described as love at first sight.
Unfortunately, neither you or him had never took a step further on your relationship. You had been caught a hundred times walking together on set, on street, going on his car, or even going out of his house. That's how the rumors started. "Dacre Montgomery's new girlfriend?" "The girl that stole Billy Hargrove's cold heart." You just couldn't read any of those gossip magazines or websites, nothing but lies were written on those pages, except of something. "It was recently confirmed that Y/N L/N has been cast as part of the fourth season of Stranger Things." That was completely true, however, the press seemed to have known about it even before yourself. The news made your face start appearing in lots and lots of different social medias, what was funny is that they kept calling you "Dacre Montgomery's girlfriend".
That's how all started but at least you could say everything you had reached was because of your effort. Your mother had always told you that your acting skills were great but you had never been brave enough to get a casting until Dacre encouraged you to do it. He was like a guardian angel when it came to you.
In that moment, you were sit on a big black car that was taking you to the location the premiere would take place in. Your hands were covered on sweat, you were about to start biting your nails until a strong hand grabbed yours gently and intertwined his fingers with yours. Dacre was right next to you, looking like a real life prince, he was wearing a shirt which colour matched with your dress. It looked like you had done that on purpose.
"You look like a princess." He said to you ear, making you feel his warm breath against your skin and giving you the heebie-jeebies at the same time. "The most beautiful princess I've ever seen in my entire life."
You laughed nervously. "Don't know what your concept of a princess is, but I can tell you I'm not one." You took a deep breath. "My Lord, I'm sweating. I bet my makeup is already ruined. I knew this would be a terrible idea."
Dacre suddenly took your face between both of his hands and looked into your eyes. God, he had the most beautiful eyes you had ever seen. "Listen to me, Y/N, we're about to go out and show the world that we rock, alright?" You both laughed. "Seriously, you look amazing and I'm really proud you decided to be my date tonight. Give me this chance. You won't regret it. Please believe it."
You had never been happier before. The red carpet hadn't been as terrible as you had thought, the photographers didn't stop shouting things at you to make you smile or look at them, which made it easier. And obviously, Dacre, he hadn't let you go not even for a second. He had been holding you by the waist the whole time for what you were really thankful.
The most stressful part of the night had ended and now what the whole cast wanted was to have fun in the after party. Your mother had met you and Dacre as soon as you two arrived and, as always, she said one of her mythical phrases: "Here they come! My beautiful daughter and my beloved son-in-law!" She obviously did that to bother you but the only thing she got was getting you flushed and make Dacre laugh nervously. He loved your mother, when talking about her, Dacre always said she was like a second mom to him while being on set. You were really glad for the relationship they had.
Joe was trying to get you two some drinks when he got one of his elbows rested on the cocktails bar and looked at your face with one of his eyebrows half raised. "What are you looking at, Keery?" He laughed and snapped his tongue. "Seriously, what? You're stressing me."
"When would you two admit you're in love?" He wide opened his eyes trying to imitate your reaction. "And don't tell me he's like a brother to you. I've seen how he looks at you, and let's not talk about how you look at him. You're practically always salivating. I'd like to know if I'd be an uncle or not."
"Joe! Come on, we've talked about this a thousand times. Dacre's like a brother to me, at least that's how he sees me, as a little sister. People should understand there would never be anything between us." As a response, Joe raised his eyebrow completely. "What? I'm just saying the truth."
"I think you two need a push."
As soon as Joe said that, the Flash dance song started playing. You loved that song and had always wanted to dance it with someone special to you, it gave you lots of feelings. "I think this is the push you needed." Joe said to your ear and then Dacre appeared in front of you and took the glass you were holding away from you.
"I'm stealing her now, Keery. Hope you don't mind."
Joe smiled and made a gesture with his glass. "She's all yours' mate."
You looked back and saw how your friend muttered something while putting both of his thumbs up. You rolled your eyes and quickly looked at Dacre who grabbed you by the waist and took you to where everybody was dancing to the song. "I needed to have at least one dance with you, princess." He smiled, in that exact moment your heart completely melted.
Dacre grabbed your hand, made you turn around and pressed his chest onto your back. His hands travelled down from your ribs to your waist. You couldn't believe that was happening, that was the first time you'd been that close. He started moving his body against yours and then you knew you couldn't do anything about it. You loved him with all your soul and wanted to enjoy that moment as if it was your last night on Earth.
"Close your eyes." Dacre kissed your neck gently. "Feel the rhythm."
You both couldn't stop laughing and at some point of your dance you ended up switching dance partners with David and your mother. Dacre starter dancing with her while David gave the best of him on the dance floor. Soon Millie joined us and, in a blink, you were surrounded by the rest of the cast. You started shouting the lyrics of the song, having the time of your life. For a moment, you lost sight of Dacre but he found you again, wrapped his arm around your waist and pulled you back. Once again, your bodies were close together, this time you were looking at his face.
"You know what?" His aussie accent was one of the things you loved the most about him. "I think I could dance this song with you for the rest of my life."
"Oh, could you? I think I could dance to this song a hundred more times tonight. I don't want this moment to end!" He smiled, put his hand on one of your cheeks and started caressing it with his thumb. "Make it happen, Dacre!"
"Make happen what, Elia?"
You smiled at him. "Make of this night something we'll never forget."
Dacre's eyes started to shine. He was getting his face closer to yours, you could feel your lips rubbing yours. "Thought you would never asked me to do that."
Then your lips finally met. You closed your eyes when he grabbed you passionately. Dacre kissed you hungrily as if he has waiting for that moment to happen for such a long time. Neither of you could believe that was happening. But it was real. You were kissing each other for the first time. And it was amazing.
"What a feeling, huh." He muttered and then kissed you again.
"I love you, Dacre. I'm so in love with you — You can't even imagine."
"I love you too, Elia and I couldn't wait any other day without knowing what your feelings were. I can't believe you're here now. And — You're so beautiful and amazing and... I want you to be my girlfriend."
You wrapped your arms around his neck and hugged him tightly. "Thought you would never asked me to do that."
"Is that a yes?"
"Is a 'I'm all yours', Dacre. I've been yours since I saw your for the first time."
Without saying any other word, he pressed his lips against yours again. You were enjoying the kiss until you started hearing cheers and people started to applaud you. Then Joe appeared, next to him was Maya.
"They're finally out of the closet." Joe shouted and then started to whistle. "We all must celebrate this event!"
Dacre looked at you, his cheeks were completely red just like yours. You smiled at each other and pressed your forehead against his. "I'm so embarrassed."
"Have I told you how much I love when your cheeks turn this red? You're so cute, Elia" He kissed you. "Guess I'm a lucky guy."
