forever is a long time, but a long time doesn't mean forever.

"Don't leave me," you said, your voice shaking with fear.

"I wouldn't dream of it," Ethan said, holding you tightly against his chest.

"I-I love you."

"I love you too."

"And CUT! That's a wrap." The director comes out and congratulates you for your performance. You had been working on this movie for almost a year now and it was coming to a close very soon. At the ending of shoots you always felt sad leaving your friend and fellow actor Ethan Nestor. He played the love interest to your character in the movie. Throughout the whole time you've been working together you got to know each other very well and became good friends.

Sometimes you felt as if the romantic scenes were real and Ethan really did like you, but deep down you told yourself that it's just acting.

"Y/N, want to go out for dinner tonight?" You heard Ethan say, following you down the hall.

"Sure! What's the occasion?" You said, excited to get in some more quality time with him.

"Does there need to be an occasion to have fun?" he replied with a sweet smile.

"Very true. We could meet up at (restaurant) around 7?" you suggested.

"Will do!" Ethan agreed heartily. He skipped off to his dressing room and you smiled at how cute he was.

.•*°*•.•*°*•.

"You clean up nice," you said teasingly, walking into the restaurant and noticing Ethan. He was wearing a cute grey sweater and black skinny jeans, it seemed simple but it really complimented his figure. His blue hair was as vibrant as ever and was fluffed in just the right position.

"Thanks," he said, blushing a little, "you look nice too, but then again you always look nice."

Now it was your turn to blush.

You and Ethan were shown to your table and he pulled the chair out for you to sit down. He certainly is a gentlemen.

"Now I have to ask," Ethan said, in between bites of food, "what did you think about my friend Mark? I know you just met him a few days ago, but what was your first impression?"

You thought carefully for a second, making sure you were gonna say the right thing.

"Mark was very nice. He could be a bit crazy, but I think I would get used to him and actually really enjoy his company," you said.

"He'll be glad to hear that. He was afraid that he came off as just annoying and loud," Ethan said.

"Oh no. He was very nice and I would love to hang out again."

Ethan just nodded his head and out a small laugh. You smiled and looked down.

"Y/N I actually really like you."

You feel as if your stomach just flipped itself.

"And I'm glad that we could spend a bit more time together."

"What?" you asked, not sure if you heard him correctly.

"I like you, as more than just friends," Ethan says, trying hard to not look away from embarrassment.

"I like you too."

Ethan let out a sigh. "That's a relief. I thought you wouldn't like me back and I would just make a fool of myself."

You started giggling at how awkward he was. He ran his hand through his hair and started laughing too.

"And CUT! Good job! You two looked so great today!" the director says, once again coming out to congratulate you.

"Good job today Y/N," and with that Ethan smiles and leaves the set.

Sometimes it just feels so real.
