I know this isn't a question, and idk if you get this a lot, buuuut... you're honestly one of my idols. <3 I don't mean that in a creepy way, I just think you're really awesome. Keep doing what you do.
I'm always appreciative of posts like this. I don't get tons, but I do get some.
It's weird, actually. For years I've had a number of friends and family try to uplift me about how they think I'm smart and talented and this and that, and while the gesture is always welcome, it... Never felt like it manifested in much?
Like, on Youtube, right. There are people that blow past 100,000 subs in under a year. There are people that do that with a million subs! And I'm over here, channel registered since 2006 or even 2005, and just passed 25k subscribers last year. 18 months later I am inching ever closer to 30k.
Or writing, right. Something I hung my hat on for a long time was writing this article for TSSZ where I was told "hey write something simple for this thing that just happened" but that would have meant an article with a couple sentences summarizing a press release. And this was kind of an ongoing story type deal, but it was the first time we had posted about it.
So I decided to describe everything that had happened so far. I did research, cited sources, and by the end of it I had two or three paragraphs of text that summarized everything that was going on. And I had a friend tell me, "Good work. You did more research than Kotaku."
Or, like, YouTube comments. I've gotten enough YouTube comments from people who are legit impressed with my editing skills but are amazed I'm not a bigger name. I remember a comment on my Sonic 3 video where somebody literally said "every time I think I'm starting to get bored, you pull another twist. I can't stop watching."
So confidence in my abilities has been steadily improving.
But my actual growth has always been slow. I've remained this unknown. And that gets to you, y'know? To have friends and family and fans uplift you, but to be stuck in this no-man's-land of "almost somebody."
You even start to get paranoid: do I have a reputation I'm not aware of? What are people saying behind my back? Maybe everybody just hates me, and this is what I deserve. I've definitely had interactions feed those fears, where it seems like I'm getting punished for reasons beyond my understanding. You can make yourself insane worrying about something that is, ultimately, nothing.
That's the result of many things. I won't go over it yet again, but I spent a long time after dropping out of high school depressed to a hazardous degree. My mom put the fear of "people who commit suicide go to hell with no remorse" in to me, so I was never suicidal, but I had fully given up in a way that may as well been a type of suicide. I did not end my life, but I did stop living.
And it's been a long, slow, painful process to understand that and start digging myself back out. To come back from a loneliness so encompassing you've grown numb to it.
It's a difficult process that has lead to a lot of awkward interactions. Spend long enough being antisocial and you forget how to be social. But rather that stress about it, and how weird I must seem to everyone else, I'm learning to be patient with myself. There are certain things about me where I have a lot of catching up to do, but I can't rush things.
Something also changed in me this last year. As my mom was getting sick and I was taking care of her, we had a very long, emotional talk about the future. I explained a lot of things I had figured out about myself but never told her, because I had a feeling. I knew our dynamic was going to change and I'd have to step up more at the very least. That I had squandered what I was building on YouTube and wasn't treating it with respect. And I wanted to try doing it for real. And she said to me, "I always knew you were going to be famous some day."
So... I'm trying to live up to that while I still can. And in particular, these last six or eight months, it really feels like I'm at a turning point. Things are starting to change for me. The way people treat me is starting to change. A lot of the things I was getting paranoid about turned out to be nothing. I'm starting to feel like somebody. Like the kind of person everyone always said I was.
And it's always nice to be reminded of that.

Taeil and Doyoung have just finished shooting and are on their way back to the dorms, when a Dispatch reporter squad literally block the exit door, preventing them from leaving the building.
„Mister Moon? Mister Moon! Are you aware that it’s JooHyun’s birthday today?“ the woman in front shoves her microphone to Taeil’s face, making him stagger and bump into Doyoung, who’s just reenacted his famous aigoo, kamjagiya moment. „Of course, how could I not be aware of that?“ Taeil answers confidently. „Our sources claim that the, uh,“ she glances at her notes, „Resonance: Part 2 is supposed to be a gift for JooHyun from all the NCT members, but the album actually comes out on the 23rd, the day after JooHyun‘s birthday. Was this planned?“ the microphone foam tickles Taeil’s nose. He wraps his hand around the mic and after a fierce battle full of polite smiling and intense eye contact, he finally manages to yank the microphone out of the reporter’s grasp. „While we certainly feel like her family in many ways, we wanted JooHyun to spend this special day with her real family and friends and focus on herself, rather than attracting all the attention to us.“ In the background, Doyoung silently nods and smiles proudly. I taught him well he thinks. „Have you prepared some other gift aside from the new album?“ The camera zooms on mainly Taeil’s face, capturing only half of Doyoung’s wide-eyed expression. If I’m to be embarrassed on television, let me at least look good while doing it, Doyoung thinks and turns his face to the left. In all of the future YouTube edits fans will mistaken this as a loving attempt to help Taeil by whispering a witty comment into his ear. In reality, Doyoung‘s comment is just one silent ICY  word. „Uh… Hmm?“ Taeil leans front, pretending he didn’t hear. The reporter takes back her microphone, this time without any difficulties. „The album is of course a great gift, but surely it is a present for all NCTzens. Knowing NCT, you’ve certainly prepared another gift for one of your biggest fans?“ „We… have…???“ Taeil shoves his hand into his jacket pocket, hoping for a gift to miraculously appear, a piece of old chocolate, a cut out paper heart he forgot to throw out, a 1000 won banknote. All he finds is lint. Doyoung is painfully aware of how ridiculous they look. Once again, I must save the day. This moment will appear in a future „Doyoung: Must protect all my NCT kids“ video. „Hyung!“ he exclaims. „O_O ???“ Taeil’s face forms into yet another memeable expression. Question marks above his head will be added in post production. Content creators on Tumblr will finally be able to make a whole 3 x 3 „Confused Taeil“ moodboard. If dust bunnies exist, is there such a thing as lint bunnies? And is it a good enough gift? Taeil ponders.
„Acrostic poem! We‘ve prepared an acrostic poem.“ Doyoung finally blurts out and nods his head vigorously, looking at the camera and Taeil in turns. „Ah, right!“ Taeil sighs with relief, smile creeping back into his face. „Right… Joo!“ Doyoung gestures to Taeil. „Oh, me?“ The reporter thrusts the mic to Taeil’s chest, snapping her fingers quickly to notify the cameraman. Taeil’s face fills out the whole frame. I don’t need to describe how he looks like, you know exactly how. „Oh… Joo…“ His gulp is louder than his voice. „Joo… JooHyun!“ Off to a great start, but we can’t stop now. Doyoung gives Taeil’s shoulder a supportive squeeze. „Hyun!“ „…“ says Taeil. „…?“ says Doyoung. „???“ says the reporter, the cameraman and the lady from the stall with fried potatoes on a stick. „Hyunpy birthday ayyyyyyy!“ Taeil cries out with glassy eyes. He smiles and nods into the camera proudly. Half of Seoul unknowingly participates in „That Famous Facepalm GIF Reenactment Challenge“. The sound of crickets will be added in post production. Fans will of course turn this into yet another apado gwaenchanha moment, especially after seeing Doyoung’s tormented expression. „This was Dispatch and NCT’s Moon Taeil sending his birthday wishes to one of his biggest fans.“ „Wait, give me another word!“ I can fix this! „Mister Moon, is there anything you’d like to add?“ „Yes!“ he stares into the camera. „We are always thankful and we love you!“ Doyoung thinks it would probably be a lot less embarrassing if he‘d just passed out on the spot. „Yes, uh, very lovely, thank you. Well, JooHyun is indeed in luck, as she shares her birthday with many of her favourite Korean popstars. We are sure that all of them have something nice to say about her, making her birthday a truly unforgettable experience. My name is—„ „Wait!“ Taeil yanks out the microphone again and gestures for the camera to focus on him. „I…“ he sighs, „Dear JooHyun, we really couldn’t wish for a better fan than you. I am forever grateful for your love, support and your appreciation. You are an amazing person, awesome just in every way possible and from the bottom of my heart I wish you a very happy birthday.“ He sends a cute fingerheart into the camera. Doyoung excitedly hugs him from behind, wiping off a tear that threatens to spill, before revealing his gummy smile. „Happy birthday~~~~!“ <3<3<3 @remtaeil

How I unexpectedly went down the (BTS) rabbit hole
First, you should know that I’m a thirty something English teacher who loves pop and who recently got into all sorts of asian dramas, k-dramas, c-dramas, thai bl shows. I basically discovered that there was this whole new world of entertainment out there other than western shows, and I was loving it. I was also aware of the fact that there was something called kpop, as well as the fact there were many famous bands out there who had a huge following, but I knew next to nothing about who these people were, nor did I venture into that part of music industry. Ok, so that’s the premise.
Now, the story starts around the time the quarantine started in my country (March). After watching the Untamed, the Guardian, Weightlifting fairy etc.I decide to watch this korean historical show called Hwarang. Because handsome boys. So, I start watching the show, the boys are all gorgeous and I fall in love with the soundtrack. One of the songs, I discover, is sung by one the boys from the show. “Cool,”I say,” I didn’t know there were singer/actors”. By the comments in those youtube videos I figure out the guy’s name is Taehyung something, commonly known as V, and that he’s pretty famous (as evident by the amount of comments on Hwarang videos all commenting on his performance). Since in the show he was like a cutie pie, I was a bit shocked to realize that in the song the higher voice wasn’t actually his, but that he had a very deep voice. It was a bit mindblowing because I couldn’t match the voice and his character in Hwarang,but okay, not to digress to much. (also, in the meantime I realize there are some other singers in the show too, and after some googling, I am introduced to the guy from Shinee, but that’s not the point right now, so I won’t go into that). So, there I am, loving the song sung by V and the other guy with a very nice voice, who I learn is called Jin, and I learn they are members if BTS.
Now, up until this point, I knew there was a band called BTS, that they were a global sensation and that they had one of the most (if not THE MOST) positive fangroups in the world called Army or sth like that. But, if you asked me before Hwarang to name anyone from that group, I wouldn’t know anyone. Post-Hwarang, I was able to name V and Jin. So, that’s where I am in March.
Fast forward to June. I am procrastinating yet again on youtube, because it’s more interesting than making exams for my students. And I stumble upon a video called Class of 2020. Intrigued to see so many famous artists, I play it. And there come the BTS boys. They seem pretty nice, have nice stories about their graduation days, I think to myself “I can see why people like them, they seem like genuinely nice guys”. And then the first song starts. Of course, I don’t know the name, but it seems catchy and upbeat. There are seven of them, I watch them sing and dance, and the first thing I notice is - the choreography is mind-blowing, so I rewind the video to see it one more time. The second thing I notice is - they look so happy performing this song. I watch them dance and sing and can’t help smiling. There is one guy with the red microphone who seems so cheerful the entire song that I’m kind of intringued to see who he is. There is one guy whose voice is just wow, I could mistake it for a girl’s voice, seeing how high he goes. There is a guy whose facial features are just so aesthetically pleasing that I’m like - damn, son, you handsome. There is a guy who seems so cool, raps like a god and is basically chill. There’s this other guy who raps who kind of reminds me of my cousin. There’s also V who looks so.freaking.different.than in Hwarang. And Jin who, as I knew from that one song, has a pretty awesome voice.
So, at this point, I am kind of intrigued by them. Then the second song starts (I learn that it’s called Spring day), and that guy with the cheerful smile starts singing and I’m like, what are these feelings, how is he so perfect? Around the middle of the song I realize several things: 1. they have color-coded microphones so I can kind of see who is who(I remembered some colours from the first song) 2. they can sing really well. All of them. 3. Maybe I should learn their names. The song ends, the “bogo shipta” is going round my head and then the third song starts which is, I don’t know how to explain it differently than this: eargasm. Oh, my god! Such good song. And the guys are just goofing around, singing, having fun. The song ends, I go back to the beginning of the first song and try to remember who is who by the colours of their microphones, heh.
After that, now officially hooked on those three songs, I decide to watch other live performances of those songs. After endless videos, I stumble upon the Carpool karaoke video, I watch it and think - yup, they really are nice and funny. I begin my quest to learn their names. I start to recognize Namjoon, because he reminds me of my cousin, after several live videos of Spring day I can recognize Jimin (because of his high voice) and Jungkook because there was this youtube couple where everybody said that the bf looked like him, so I kind of remembered his face. I figure out the colours of the mics, which makes it easier to tell some of them apart when I’m not sure, hehe. I mix the happy guy (J Hope) and the cool guy (Suga), but after some videos with their funny moments I finally know how to tell all of them apart and what their names are.
Now, this whole process was about a day or two long, at that point my brother gives me weird looks when I keep randomly saying bogo shipta and then humming, but what can you do, it’s a very nice song. Then I spend the next two days watching all sorts of video compilations of their moments, be it funny moments, touching moments, sad moments, winning awards and I come to see why Army love these guys so much. They are a group of kind, generous, honest people who share the message of self-love. Their friendship is out of this world, and their music has such deep meaning that you can lose yourself in the lyrics (I lost myself in Mikrokosmos). And every single one of them is an individual with a unique personality, talent and voice. I’m glad I stumbled upon them and learned about their music. I don’t know how you become an army, but I can see I’m well on my way :)

Well this is fucking heartbreaking (reblog to spread awareness)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before I go on, I need to make some things clear: this will not be an attack on the entire jjba fandom or cosplay fans, but this small subset of troglodytes who thought THIS was acceptable. This also isn’t me trying to act as some white knight, but a fan who is absolutely fucking infuriated by fellow “fans’” behavior. It’s also just a post to raise awareness and keep this sort of shit from happening again and to address similar problems.
Before late April, there was a cosplayer by the name of “asmileandsong” who went about... well, cosplaying. She gained a decent amount of fame online. She was most famous for cosplaying characters from Steven Universe, Captive Prince, And JJBA. But at the start of May, she shut down her Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook accounts. Why? Because she was harassed for not liking cosplaying as Fugo. I don’t know about you but that is fucking disgusting. I haven’t read something that legitimately made my blood boil and skin crawl in anger in quite a while but here we are. How twisted, arrogant, and malicious do you have to be to tear someone down for such a petty fucking reason. And as you can see from her Twitter feed, it tore her up inside. It reminded me too much of the chaos with the SU fandom and Zamii070. The good news is that asongandsmile is taking a break from social media and will try to get her life back on track, but it still pisses me off that this was the cause. Asongandsmile, if you’re reading this, I sincerely hope you recover from this disgusting experience. I, and so many others, are praying for you.
I was aware that the JJBA fandom had some bad apples in it, but I always thought it was a very, very, very small subset that was made up of just a some guys who overdid it with some jokes or oppinionated assholes. I never imagined it would come to something like this. I still think that the JJBA fandom is a radical place to be, but I couldn’t stand by and not express my absolute horror and anger. I’m not going to stand by and let this person’s story go unheard. Nor am I gonna let the JJBA fandom go down the same toxic and hostile rabbit holes as the SU or MLP fandoms. This happened right after I left some comments on various posts on YouTube and Instagram about how JJBA has one of the most chill and awesome fandoms and then I see this shit. To everyone who chased asongandsmile off the internet, either get your shit together and try to make things right of get the fuck out of the fandom.

Yes, i am 100% a Jikook supporter.  My blog is a safe haven for those who love them as well as for those who love OT7.  I have zero tolerance for negative asks so if i don't post and answer your ask, most likely it was negative and i don't want to address it and start wars or... Tumblr ate it. Choose your option :) Also, I'm only going to talk about how I view them, not how anyone else should so don't get those panties up in a wad, thanks. Oh and this is gonna be a pretty fcuking long essay so please have your coffee, tea, bubble-tea, wine ready... you have been warned ;)
Shipping has never been my thing and even if i liked a pairing, it was always just platonic. Right off the bat, i liked the VMIN ship.  They were just the cutest kids/friends/siblings/soulmates. VMIN became my favorite/first BTS ship - again, it was strictly platonic shipping.  Bromance, that cute jazz and i still ship them like that. And besides, who doesn’t?!
One day, after watching a cute VMIN vid on youtube, i forgot to toggle off autoplay and a JiKook vid started playing and i...just... fell and i still haven't managed to get up yet. I tried really hard to just stan them as platonic, like i do VMIN but apparently, JJK is having none of that.  
And i really do mean that.  JJK was the person who changed my mind on their dynamics - even before the famous G.C.F. video.  He is my meme for that whole: You don't choose your ship, it chooses you dictum. After that vid, i got very interested and started re-watching their RUN eps and concert clips and boy oh boy. The amount of staring aka heart-eyes, the way JJK constantly hovers over PJM, the way he's always so attentive to ONLY PJM, the way he always strives to make Jimin laugh...i'm still dumbfounded.  I can't remember ever looking at a single man i've ever dated like that or received looks like that back.  Because trust me, if someone looked at me with the emotions of their heart spilling out of their eyes the way JJk does PJM, i would never let him go.  You know that familiar old saying of one wearing their heart on their sleeves? Well, that is not JJK at all. He is the only person i know who takes it up a notch and wears it in his gaze. And what is subtlety to this boy.
It's almost like this is a drama and i am watching it unfold in real time.  We started with the usual one-sided feelings, Jiminie who was so aggressive and open with his affections in chasing around the maknae.  I used to just brush those moments off as child's play...but they've become significant in the Jikook relationship. Stepping stones that mired what was inevitable.  It's like Jimin grew up and he turned into this beautiful swan that matched his beautiful personality and suddenly, everyone noticed - JJK first. This is where I'm really in awe...Their dynamics started shifting and as Jimin dialed back the public affections, JJK poured it on x10.  It almost seemed like the more JJK pushed Jimin for attention, the less PJM gave it and it resulted in JJK not giving a damn what anyone thought except for making PJM aware of his feelings. The hunted is now the hunter ;)
In the beginning, i tried to tell myself, hey, this is all in your imagination, quit trying to see things where they aren't!  They're just very fond group members! And as soon as i think that thought, JJK goes ahead and blows it to smithereens. He just won't let me live.  Following will be some reasons why it's so damn hard to breathe around these two:
When these two are together, they either sound like they're flirting, look like they're flirting or ARE INDEED FLIRTING. I can't shut up about this.  There's this level of intimacy that just dusts the air when these two are standing, sitting, laying next to each other.  But you know what's even more marvelous is that that air somehow gets even more intense when they are separated by other members. It's like the members become obstacles they have to overcome to let their love flourish so they amp things up even more lmao.  Off the top of my head is the moment recently in their vlive where they were toasting to their AMA performance and Yoongi was in the middle like a barrier but those two...the flirting and giggling and stuttering...I'm sure Yoongs was just like...get me the fcuk away from these lovesick fools. I know i would've been running.
They can be quite fiercely protective of one another. Jimin is affectionate with every member, true, but no one can deny that he's particularly soft for JJK, as proven in a Run ep when he gave the extra food flag to JJK and made his own teammate/soulmate V beg for his lol... There's also BV2 when he tries to win a meal for JJK with the table game, when he offers his bed space to JJK...Jimin is always trying to feed JJK when he loses in games, making sure he's comfortable when they're sleeping, encouraging him to speak up, say whats on his mind,  and JJK reciprocates in kind, albeit more quietly; waiting for PJM’s slow butt, defending PJM when others poke fun at him, complimenting him when he's unsure (especially when it's unwarranted), even going as far as defending PJM before anyone can tease him!  An example of that is during BV2 when the boys were cooking for one another and Jimin made that dish that tasted like pickled pollack roe.  I'm sure JJK didn't want the other's comments to hurt Jimin's feelings (even though it didn't come off that way) so he pepped up with the whole "I love pickled pollack roe" even though no one else cared. Thats the kind of love and devotion JJK shows to PJM - it’s quiet, uplifting, supportive and it is endearing beyond all.  And don’t forget...whenever the groups play games, JJK always finds a way to cheer on Jimin, even if they are on opposing teams. Talk about being sweet on someone. I'm actually quite jealous.
Satellite Jeon has got to be my most favorite JJK. I've, in all honesty, never seen anyone orbit before until Jungkook.  He can be at the opposite end of the stage and somehow, come hell or high water, he will make it to park beside Jimin.  Like Jimin is his security blanket and he needs that source of comfort and warmth. I am just overly fond of that one vlive for Hobi's birthday when freaking JJK worked his away behind the camera to stand right behind PJM.  As if that wasn't enough, he had to place his hands on PJM's shoulders to make it be known that "hey, I'm right here behind you."  We see you, Jeon, trust me, we do. It's really endearing to watch Jimin's personal hoverboard in action.  In interviews, during speeches...there are so many circumstances where he either moves to stand closer to Jimin or moves to stand where he can see Jimin more clearly and i haven't seen him do that with others. It's like Jimin is a magnet for his eyes.  Love songs always quote: I only have eyes for you. And Jungkook proves that quote true.
G.C.F Tokyo broke me out of my musings of them being just friends permanently.  Who does this?!  Who goes out of their way to cart around a huge camera all day and take videos/photos of someone else on a vacation?  Either a photographer who is working or a LOVER. Obviously JJK’s profession is not that of a photographer so...yeah. Listen, I love my siblings/friends but you’ll never catch me lugging that around while im on vacation, no way.  After i watched that video, i sat in silence for a good long time.  Can you imagine the planning that goes on behind something like this? It’s no overnight thought-process.  Neither is the piecing together of it.  The amount of time, dedication, love, affection JJK put into this video is heartwarming. Seeing PJM the way JJK sees him is breathtaking. While sitting there in the afterglow of that marvelous tribute, i realized that in this world, all i ever want is for someone to love me, see me, the way that JJK sees PJM.  I want that glow that PJM emitted while frolicking freely with JJK, that happiness that is threatening to burst out of both their chests, that pure, unabashed tenderness for one another.
I’d have expected something like that from PJM, the open, brazen, affectionate little bean. But to have it come from JJK the introvert, shy, always in his own bubble guy... It’s baffling. I’ve always thought JJk was quite a chameleon. There's layers upon layers upon layers with this man.  If i were to compare them to food, i would say PJM is decadent mousse in a glass cup where you know and can see the layers and appreciate them thoroughly.  JJK is that delicious chocolate cake where you have to cut inside the cake to see how many layers are present.  He's an awesome anomaly. And...maybe that is why they fit together so well.  What JJK lacks, PJM makes up for and vice versa. Jimin is all things dainty and Jungkook is all things masculine.  It's a perfect fit.
None of us know them personally. We can only ship from afar so please ship respectfully.
---
damn. i didn’t think it was this long.  If you got through this, kudos to you, my friend :)

Who’d You Rather - Niall Horan
Paring: Niall x OC Female Character (I still describe it as an imagine, but sorry I just can’t write Y/N, so here’s Myra McCoy instead)
Idea: Myra McCoy, and actress who appear on Ellen’s show, and in a game of ‘Who’d You Rather’she manages to pick out Niall and pick him over and over again, Niall who have a secret celebrity crush on the same girl is made aware of it through Harry, and things seem to unfold from there
Word Count: 7480
A/N: So I saw Ellen’s thing ‘Who’d You Rather’ and then the idea stuck, so I saw all of the ones there was, and the idea kind of just developed, into a 7+k mess of emotions . And it’s tagged as an imagine, but it is an OC character, because I just can’t write Y/N, so here’s Myra McCoy instead, hope you like her as much as I liked creating her. 
‘Niall, have you seen this??’ Niall’s phone buzzed with a message from Harry, and knowing him the next text could either be a new joke he had found that he thought was simply too good not to share, or it was something actually interested. Apparently it was one of the better days, as this time it seemed to be something actually interested.
The link he sent was YouTube link, more specifically a video with the title ‘Myra McCoy plays Who’d you rather’. After reading the title of the link, Niall went to revaluate whether or not this was actually one of the better days.
‘Why are you sending me this again?’ Niall sent back.
There didn’t go long before the next buzz came. ‘Just watch it! Promise you won’t be disappointing’ He had written.
Okay, so maybe Harry’s ulterior motive hadn’t been to make Niall jealous while he was sitting in the studio recording songs he had already written, meaning he shouldn’t be full of a lot of emotions that he could potentially have used when he was writing the songs. Off course, Niall had a hard time that Harry would even have an ulterior motive that would cause him harm, god knows that Harry wasn’t that kind of a person, wasn’t even close to anyone who would be that kind of person. Yet it was a bit weird with Harry sending him videos of his celebrity crush, no scratch that, his crush picking a ton of guys over him, but deciding to trust Harry’s better ulterior motive, he clicked play on the video. Who knows, maybe it wouldn’t be that bad.
“So, Myra McCoy is on the show, and she is single and ready to mingle, isn’t that right?” Ellen said with a big smile as she looked over to Myra.
“Uhm, well yes, partly” Myra spoke slightly shyly.
Niall knew for a fact, perhaps for a bit too much researching that Myra’s dating life was not something she talked much about, but one thing he had definitely cleared out, she was in fact single.
“I heard a clear yes” Ellen simply said with a laugh “And that is why we’re gonna play a game of ‘Who’d You Rather?” Ellen said as the montage played.
“Okay, well this looks like it’s could be interesting” Myra laughed as she looked in the screen with the many hearts showing up.
Niall’s heart felt like it was swelling a bit just by the sound of that laughter.
“So yeah, as you’re an absolute sweetheart, clearly seen in our game of never have I ever, we thought we’d give it a go about finding the perfect man for you.” Ellen explained.
“Wait, so do you then hand out contact information’s in the end, or how is this going to work?” Myra inquired Ellen, now a little bit curious.
“Well, no, but as I am widely famous, the power of this game will magically make that other person tweet you on twitter or reach out to you, and you’ll live happily ever after” Ellen said with a smile. Myra just laughed and nodded as if that sounded fully legit.
“Okay, so it’s simple, we’re just going to show you two options of two different celebrities gentlemen, and then you’re just going to chose, until we finally narrows it’s down. Let’s start with these two gentlemens first shall we.
Henry Cavil & George Clooney’s face appeared on the screen
“I think I’m gonna go with Henry Cavil” Myra said sure in herself, the age difference was a clear factor, but she couldn’t deny the look of him in Man of Steel either.
“Okay, well, then Henry Cavil and Chris Evans”
“First of all, it is not fair putting him shirtless up there” Myra said pointing at Chris Evans “And certainly not fair showing him from the Avengers movies” Myra almost moaned.
“So it’s a clear Chris Evans here I see” Ellen laughed as she looked at Myra’s face.
“Yeah it has to be, Cap just goes right to my heart man” Myra laughed.
“Tell us Myra, is there something you haven’t told us about your thoughts about superheroes?” Ellen asked smugly. “I mean we know you played alongside some of them in Guardians of the Galaxy, was there some unresolved stuff there or?”
Maybe, just maybe, that had been one of the reasons why Niall had always been up for a Marvel movie marathon with Zayn, when that was something they still did regularly. Nonetheless, the movies was good, the fact that Myra had been in them and was awesome, and pretty good looking for an alien, was minor details to his love for the universe so much.
“Haha, no, it’s just Captain America for me, though Man of Steel certainly showed he had lifted some steel as well! Myra laughed as they moved on to the next one.
Zac Efron appeared besides Chris Evans, now both shirtless.
“Now Zach does have a girlfriend, but none of that matters here, because as I said, I rule, my studio and all” Ellen commented making Myra laugh again.
“Well, I still have to go with my heart on this one, and my heart screams that I’m loyal to SHIELD and Captain America”
“Chris Evans we go again then” Ellen comments before the screen changes again, this time not showing a shirtless gentlemen, instead a very clothed one, by the name of Niall Horan.
Niall immediately perked up and turned up the volume so that he could hear a bit better, cause now he was very much aware why Harry had sent the link. Though he feared that maybe he would only make a brief appearance, knowing the option of the men out there, he wouldn’t judge.
“Now here’s someone who we also know is completely single! So that’s gotta be a plus” Ellen comments with a smile, however as Myra is silent on the matter and simply staring at the two, she decides to continue. “However, he doesn’t carry a shield, not does he wear a blue, red and white spangled suit”
Yeah just comparing him to Captain America would already be enough, knowing the inner geek that Myra didn’t hide.
“He could wear a green white and orange spangled suit though” Myra comments as she brings up a finger to bite on.
Niall tensed up by the sight of the finger nearing her mouth, just as he had… well, compared him to his own kind of superhero.
“It sounds like you might be leaning towards the Irish then” Ellen asks grabbing Myra’s eyes.
And Niall was grabbed completely by his little screen now, incredible happy that Greg made him wait around a bit before he had to redo some of his vocals in one of the songs.
“Yeah, sorry cap, but I think I’m gonna go with Niall” She said shyly before moving her legs up under herself.
Niall let out a small sigh, suddenly smiling widely.
“I see you’re getting comfortable now” Ellen laughs pointing out how she lost one of her heels.
“Well comfortableness always overrule fanciness, that’s been my rule through my whole career, except, there are certain exceptions, feeling really sexy in your own body once in a while is worth a loss of some comfortableness, as long as I can still go back to my couch and sweats in the evening.” Myra explains.
And another reason why she endeared him so much.
“Sounds like that could get it’s own what’d you rather program” Ellen comments before moving on to the next picture, showing Drake besides Niall.
“Niall” Myra spoke clearly, no doubt or shyness about it anymore.
The lack of shyness and the security of her voice did something entirely else to him.
“Ah, I’m getting a sense that maybe it’s the Americans you just overrule, well if it’s because you’ve gotten bored of the Americans gentlemen, how about an English one now then” Ellen commented as Ed Sheeran appeared besides Niall.
“Oh, well Ed’s a friend of mine actually, so as much as it’s a bit tougher, then I’m still going with Niall” Myra laughed before the screens shifted to show Nick Jonas shirtless.
Niall, knowing very well that she was a friend of Ed, he had heard about her through him once as well, heard stories about the charm that wasn’t just for TV host, but an actual charm and kindness that caught Ed. And likewise as it had been with Harry, knowing that Ed thought she was worth having as a close friend, that meant more to him than her reaching the top twenty of sexiest females. Though as Louis have made fun of multiple times, that did mean something to him too.
“I mean, as much as I could look at that a bit longer, then I still go with Niall” Myra stated.
“You’re seeming often sure in Niall it seems” Ellen comments “Might this be your final boy?” She jokes as the screen reveals Ryan Gosling.
Don’t joke around with it Ellen Niall kept thinking, because my god that would be something.
“Our La La Land charmer, he’s sure to be able to sing you off your feet” Ellen comments.
“Well if we’re taking singing into account too, then it gotta go to Niall again” Myra laughs as the screen shifts again, this time to show Prince Harry.
Not only had she compared him to a superhero, and well chosen him over multiple good looking and just generally good men, she had complimented his singing too.
“Niall. Again” She adds with a giggle.
“So you’re now turning down royalty status for him too” Ellen laughs as the screen reveals Dev Patel.
“Oh, this one is actually a bit hard” Myra states as she starts biting her finger again. “I always kinda had a thing for Dev, I mean after watching Lion it was hard not to” Myra commented.
“Then go pick Dev, he was just declared 2017’s sexiest man alive” Ellen commented, as if it was obvious.
“I know… But no, I’m sticking with Niall” Myra said meeting Ellen’s, who actually seemed to be genially surprised. Myra looked back to the screen expecting there to show up another one, but instead Niall Horan simply filled the screen alone.
“Well then there you go, seems like your perfect match is Niall Horan, unless off course you wanna go back to one of the superheroes?” Ellen tempted.
“Well isn’t he kinda a superhero, I mean, I’ve heard the stories of how that band saved people through music” Myra added with a sly smile.
How she warmed his heart.
“Already defending him I see, maybe it really is a perfect match” Ellen laughed, Myra just shrugged her shoulders before placing her feet on the floor again.
“I mean, I can’t deny it, he’s a handsome looking fella, I’m quite pleased with this” She said as she beamed with a big smile.
She wasn’t the only one.
“Well thank you again Myra McCoy for joining us, and good luck on the new movie out the first of next month” Ellen spoke to Myra before turning to the camera “And we will be right back”
The screen went still, and for a moment so did Niall. He wasn’t quite sure what to do with himself after that, seeing it certainly made his day feel better. But, well, what was there more to it than that. He could watch that and think to a hypothetical world where Myra McCoy, the brilliant, charming, wonderful women, would choose him over royalty and men who could grow proper stomach hair, and he could smile about it. But that was it wasn’t it.
He pictured himself in the opposite situation, if he had been there and forced to pick between women like that, and well then ended up with a final one, having them contact you, it wouldn’t be, well it wouldn’t be something that people just did. Surely.
Niall closed down the link before returning to the chat with Harry,
‘And here I thought it was a new knock knock joke you were going to send me :D’ It didn’t take long before Harry got back to him.
‘You appreciate them better than Grimmy does, so off course I’m gonna update you on it. But how about it! Did I just possibly set up your new date’
‘Ha, I wish’ Niall wrote back.
‘What do you mean you wish, did you not see the interview!’
‘Yeah, but you know those interviews, how many times haven’t you said your crush would be Frankie Sandford, and it’s not like you would date her!’
‘First of all, she’s married, Myra isn’t, she’s very single, and so are you, and we both know she’s not your celebrity crush, she’s your real crush. AND she didn’t say you were her celebrity crush, she literally picked you over like 7 other guys’ Harry wrote back. Niall read it over once again, knowing very well that he did have a point. Yet still. Well, he still wasn’t sure.
‘Still man, that would be weird wouldn’t it?’
‘Dude, Twitter is amazing for that’
‘I don’t know. Anyway, Greg’s here, gotta go’ Niall wrote, trying to get out of the conversation.
‘Liar’ Harry just wrote back, knowing very well that move.
Not long after, Greg however did come back to request Niall back in the booth, so he could rub that in Harry’s face when he got out again. However the recording went so well that they ended up taking another verse, and then a course too, and while they were at it they could take some of the background vocal too, until they managed to almost finish the song, before they finished for the day.
When he got out again, he reached for his phone out of reflex and scrolled down the notification, only to see Harry had send him another text, with another link it seemed.
‘Told you so http://bit.ly/2rbFeDa’ He clicked the link, only to get directed to one of Harry’s tweet.
‘@McMyra I should say from @NiallOfficial he loved you on Ellen, and he’d love it even more if you went on a date with him’
Niall huffed out a breath, not sure what to do about it, and immediately going into damage control of what he could do, besides giving Harry a kick in the shin, or depending how bad it went, in the nutters, the next time he saw him, but then he scrolled down to the response linked under it.
‘@Harry_Styles @NiallOfficial well tell him to use his #SlowHands to write to me then ;)’
It took him a minute to process the tweet, as it was not only a tweet from Myra McCoy, but also a tweet including a title to one of his songs. One thing was her complimenting his singing, by now there was a couple of people who had heard that because of the One Direction, however, his own songs was a different matter, something he still felt unsure people would even listen to. Off course he knew that the response so far had been great, but that was one thing, knowing, well, knowing that she had heard it was another thing, or at least, this felt like something else. So yeah, what was stopping him.
‘I hate you’ He texted back to Harry, knowing very well that he might have to actual thank him now the next he saw him. I went back into twitter and clicked on the tweet, and the little arrow to respond to the tweet.
‘@McMyra Ignore Harry, he’s a jerk, but he is right though, loved you on Ellen’ He decided to send, it was casual, true because Harry was being a jerk, a right one, but that was besides the point. He sat with his phone a bit, wondering if the response would come or not, though chances was she wasn’t, the previous tweet had been 15 minutes ago, so she’d properly put the phone down now. However he looked down his phone as it vibrated, only to see a nocification, new tweet from @McMyra, he quickly opened it.
‘@NiallOfficial So Ellen was, scarily enough right it seemed, you did reach out to me on Twitter, or Harry did, does it then still count?’
‘@McMyra Totally counts.’
‘@NiallOfficial Perfect. So about that date then?’
Shit. Now he definitely needed to thank Harry.
‘@McMyra Well when are you in #ThisTown and got time’
@NiallOfficial Nice self-promoting there’
‘@McMyra well you can (thank for that btw) but I can’t promote myself a bit?’
‘@NiallOfficial absolutely not, now it just seems self-centred (And you’re welcome, love the song <3)’
‘@McMyra well that’s a bit rude innit (Thank you, I could give you a life performance at one point if you want)’
‘@NiallOfficial it seems you’re the one being rude now (Maybe that could be arranged, you almost owe me after turning down royalty for you)’
Niall was in mid typing to reply to the tweet when he received a new notification, that @McMyra had sent him a dm. He closed down the tweet before opening the DM.
‘If by this town you meet LA, then that won’t happen until a movie premiere in two weeks, but with a live performance in wait it would be’
‘worth it’
‘Sorry, I hate the 140 limit line’
He couldn’t help but laugh over the common problem before typing a response.
‘Usual solution is to loose the commas or to add in slang or btw, nvm, stuff like that’
‘Yeah well I was an English mayor before I turned to acting, so it’s very much against my nature’
‘Being an English major, I can also tell you that it’s called an acronym’ She responded again, he was about to thank her for new knowledge, when he realised the opportunity at hand to do something else. Weighing his option and what really I had to loose for a moment, I decided for it before writing back.
‘Well hey, if it bothers you that much to use acronyms (thanks for that btw(Though apparently I can’t stop) you can always write to me on my number’ I suggested before typing it in.
‘Well if you’re offering’ She simply said. It took a while before I got another notification on my phone, this time from my messages, of an unknown number writing.
‘Hi’ She wrote, quickly followed by
‘And now I feel like I don’t have stuff over 140 signs to say’ I couldn’t help but laugh a bit, but was quickly interrupted by Greg entered the room again asking me if I was ready to listen through it all. I replied I was, and I would be there in a moment.
‘It’s alright, I actually need to go now, my producer just called me in to listen through some of the final touches for my album. But hey, I’ll text you when I’m out, and we can talk about stuff that’ll fill more than 140 signs, perhaps also what to do when you come to LA’ I wrote before getting up to walk back towards the mixing table. However by my phone giving off a final buzz I took it out before entering the room with the rest.
‘I’ll forgive you for leaving me alone on a bad hotel couch if you send me a snippet of the song ;)’
‘As much as I wouldn’t want you mad at me, if I did that, it would be a surprise at the live preview of it would it now :D’ I responded, before entering the room to see a smirking Julian.
“What?” I asked while laughing, “What’s so funny”
“You, clearly forgetting I have a twitter” Oh, right “So, now I’m just wondering what you might be smiling so widely about”
“The fact that I have a really good song here, that’s what” I just commented before playing the result of the final touches.
“Sure” Julian simply said before returning back to the music as well.
It continued like that, almost nearing 2 weeks of it, just the two of them texting back and forth. Often however, just under 140 signs, as they both had busy schedule, with Myra having a movie out that she needed to do interview and premieres for, and Niall doing the final touches for his album while also promoting for it didn’t leave a lot of space for other stuff. Other stuff longer than that if they had time and had something wanting to tell the others, there was always funny stories when you had busy schedules. Nevertheless, they maintained a connection, and though it was rarely mentioned, it seemed that there was still a date in the near future that they could both look forward to.
Another thing that had happened through those 2 weeks, was other people starting to notice it, this was something Myra experienced in a interview with James Cordon on his Late Late show.
“So Myra, beyond being busy with promoting for ‘Sudden Vengeance’”
“Which is out in American cinemas on Friday” Myra added in looking right into the camera causing James to give one of his booming laughs.
“Yeah, and it’s definitely worth a watch. But no, what I meant to say is that besides being busy with the movie, you seem to have made a new friend, not just that, but a friend that’s one of my friends too” James says, seeming rather pleased with the situation. Myra off course knew who he was talking about, before he mentioned the connection with James too, as it hadn’t been the first time Niall had been mentioned in interviews. That was a thing she had to get use to though, I mean she had gotten linked to other celebrities before, but Niall Horan from One Direction seemed to be a whole thing for themselves, as she had never had it mentioned as many times before as she the twitter feud between her and Niall had been mentioned.
“Yeah, yeah I have made a friend” Myra just said with a smile, off course she knew that James wasn’t going to leave it like that, no one who had interviewed her about it had yet.
“So, how did all of this happen again? I heard you were on the Ellen show’s Who’d Your Rather” James started.
“I was yeah, went to do some promo on Ellen, lovely show”
“Well you’re not promoting her show” James laughed.
“True, she don’t need promoting” Myra laughed, but as she noticed James discomfort. “Off course neither does yours!” She laughed as she leaned forward to place a hand on James leg. “But yeah, at the show, she have this little game, called ‘Who’d you rather’ where she features a lot of men that she then tells you to choose between them” Myra explains.
“Based on who you want to date right?” James fills in, Myra smiles while looking down a bit, because off course he had to highlight that feature.
“Yes” She looks up at James again “based on who you’d rather date. And Niall happened to be on the list, and yeah, I chose Niall” Myra said with a smile.
“And now, after that, the two of you have been communicating over Twitter it seems” James commented while showing one of the tweets where some flirting between the two of you had quite obviously been going on. “But, from what I’ve heard you guys have been talking off Twitter as well. And now, I can’t help but ask, did you ever get that private concert he talked about?” James ask with a big smile, and I could see my co-star sitting beside starting to laugh as well.
“I haven’t yet no, still waiting for that one” Myra simply said with a smile on her face, knowing that until they both had time, they might have to wait a bit longer for that one.
“So, you haven’t told me about the date you went on with Myra McCoy yet?” Harry asked as he settled down in the couch beside Niall.
“What date?” Niall just laughed as he turned on the telly for the golf competition.
“The date that you should have had with Myra McCoy by now, thanks to my glorious skills” Harry commented while leaning forward, seeming to obviously care a lot more about this than what channel the golf he came over to watch was on. I turned to look at him, surprised that he actually seemed to care.
“Well, we’re both very busy with our schedules, so off course it couldn’t happen right away”
“Right away? It’s been like 2 weeks, and you’re literally in the same city! She was at the James Cordon show yesterday, and she’s going to be at the movie premiere for her movie tomorrow- I know!” Harry suddenly exclaimed, “You could surprise her at the movie premiere tomorrow! It would be easy to get in for you, and it would totally surprise you” Harry spoke with lights in his eyes.
“Okay, calm down there!” Niall said as he went to turn and look at Harry, except as he turned the channel again, it didn’t land on golf but the rerun of yesterday’s Late Late Show with James Cordon.
“Talking about the sun” Harry said as he pointed at the screen where Myra appeared on the sofa with her co-star Niall had heard some good stuff about as well.
“Yeah, I have made a friend” Myra spoke on the telly, as a picture of Niall appeared on the screen behind them.
Harry looked over to me again as they started talking about how her and Niall had started talking and so, until James asked whether or not she had gotten that private concert yet.
“I haven’t yet no, still waiting for that one” Myra said with a smile before they started talking about the movie.
“Do I need to keep bugging you with this, or are you finally going to do something about a girl who clearly likes you and wants to go out with you” Harry commented.
“Okay, so say, what would I have to do to get into that movie premiere?” Niall asked, knowing very well that he had a good suit somewhere, so the only thing he was missing, was access to the movie premiere.
“I have an idea” Harry said, before he reached down his pants to reach for his phone, “But I think I know someone who might actually be at the premiere tomorrow, so maybe they can get you through” Harry took the call while Niall looked back to the TV to see Myra appear on the telly. It was here he couldn’t help but think of how exciting it would be to actually see her tomorrow, after 2 weeks of chatting, maybe he would finally be able to actually see her.
“Got it” Niall was brought back to reality as Harry got back to him. “A mate of mine Alex is in the supporting cast, he’d said he’d bring the word forward that you would be joining the task, and I made sure that Myra would not know” Harry said with a laugh.
“You ready” Alan asked giving Myra a last glance to see her nodding before he pulled the door aside for Myra to exit the car to walk on the red carpet that matched so wonderfully with her blood red look, and to be met with flashes she had almost forgotten how much hurt her eyes. But it was alright she felt, this wasn’t bright flashes she didn’t expect and hated, no these flashes was like applauding in her ears, applauding she felt she truly deserved after all the hard work she knew she had put into this movie, and how it was work she was proud off. And the better thing than the applaud of the flashes was the roar of voices she heard at her arrival from the people who really mattered, the fans standing by the side line waving and smiling at her. She waved back and walked over and talked with and signed stuff to as many as she could before she was pulled away to the not just flashes, but now microphones as well.
The interview was always interesting, I mean that was no news, but there seemed to be something exceptionally ruthless about some of the interviewers. She didn’t mean the ones only focusing on what she wore and how she wore it on her particular form and not the movie and the hard work she had done, no the particular ruthless ones were the one trying to undermine her character she had worked so hard on. One particular interviewer seemed to be interested in how some of the public, meaning the station the interviewer worked for, seemed to think that Myra’s character was an weak female character that seemed to allowed herself to be stepped on, making Myra think that clearly the interviewer hadn’t seen the movie at all!
But Myra pulled through it with a smile and what she hoped was a gentle tone as she explained her character and her depths, and not the irritating tone she had hoped to sneer at the interviewer to shut her up. And one of the better things she had found she loved about the ‘interesting’ interviews on the red carpet, was that they were always so lovely short.
It was when she had moved on from her fifth interviewer, and had to pose facing her better left to the paparazzi’s for about the 15’th time, that things seemed to change.
The first time she heard someone yell the name that had grown relatively familiar to her over the last couple of days, she thought it was one of the many ways a paparazzi wanted to get a reaction out of her, but it was a trick she had only grown too familiar with, with her many encounters with the paparazzi’s. However, soon, multiple people starting shouting the name so eagerly in the other end of the red carpet, that it almost couldn’t mean anything else but…
Myra couldn’t help but turn and look as her curiosity had been raised with the eager shouting, and true enough, if it wasn’t that blond, now almost brunette haired guy she had starred at rather longingly on Ellen, and perhaps a couple of other times as well, that had just gotten out of a car, and was dressed rather handsomely. Quickly however, Myra realised the surroundings she was in. And how here a glance that lasted more than a couple of seconds could be caught and over analysed easily with this many flashes, that suddenly didn’t resemble an applause anymore, as much as an extensive clicking of insects wanting to suck up any kind of information’s they could focus their lenses on. So she turned her head back to face them her left side, and what she hoped was the same smirk she had worn beforehand, and not the genuine smile she had caught herself having just a glimpse of a moment ago.
However, by the sound of how Niall’s name wasn’t just mentioned in his end, but was now thrown at Myra as well, the damage was properly done. And if she moved through the flashes and interviews just a bit quicker knowing what might await her when she was inside, well then she dearly hoped her manager wouldn’t figure it out.
And finally it seemed that she did reach an end, and she entered the theatre where her co-stars and the other she had worked with during the film, as well as their nearest one was gathered in the large hall had gathered up. Here she was greeted with genuine smiles and hugs that made her feel a lot prouder about the movie than what she had encountered outside. However certain co-stars that she greeted seemed to be especially pleased to see her, in an almost suspicious way, and knowing what kind of bunch Alex and Jennifer were, she was most likely right that something was going on. To her impatient curiosity, it seemed lucky that she was about to find out just why that had been, as suddenly both Jennifer and Alex noticed something behind Myra, that lead to them leaving her in her own company, except not really it seemed.
She felt a hand on her shoulder and was ready to greet another one of the co-stars, however the face she met wasn’t one of her co-stars, though perhaps his face made her lighten up more than any of the others in the room would have.
“Hi” Niall says almost out of breath with a wide smile as their eyes meet.
“Hey” Myra caught herself saying almost as breathless back. For a moment they don’t seem to be able to say anything, over or under 140 characters, apparently smiling at each other suffices both of them, that is until the silence is broken, not by them though. Both Myra and Niall turns over to the doors of cinema as they are opened and people are starting to be ushered into their seats.
Myra turns around to see Niall feeling incredibly left out and unsure what to do as all the actors and the directors starts walking excitedly towards the doors. In a glimpse of a moment, Myra grasps out for Nialls hand as she pulls him with the crowd.
“Didn’t expect to see you here” Myra says as they’re so close and surrounded by chatty people that the silence between them felt too weird.
“Well, it was a bit of a spur of a moment thing as well” Niall said with a smile as he met her eyes. “But, I was told by an idiot friend of mine, that maybe I should get my arse out of the gutter, and actually do something, now that a certain someone was actually in the same city as me for once” He explained again as they entered the big IMAX theatre. Just as Myra was about to answer, the person following people to their designated seats broke Myra out of their conversation by pointing her to her seat.
“Oh, uhm, actually I think I’m going to find another seat with him” Myra said after a short hesitation before standing aside so that Niall was in view.
“Mr. Horan” The man in front of them asked, Niall simply nodded.
“Well, Ms. McCoy you and Mr Horan are already seated besides each other” The man explained before pointing them on their way. Myra looked confused for a moment before Niall leaned in to whisper “My idiot friend of mine might also have pulled me a few strings, as he seems to have connection the strangest places”
“Those connections wouldn’t by any chance have been someone by the name of Alex Nelson and Jennifer Moore would it?” Myra asked curiously as they received the free snacks that usually followed with a premiere like this before they walked between their rows to walk to their center seats.
“Well, I heard an Alex being mentioned, didn’t know about a Jennifer before now though” Niall chuckled, quickly joined by Myra who muttered a silent ‘Should have figured’ as well before they sat down in their seats.
“But I never gathered” Niall said with a small hesitation as Myra met his eyes with her auburn ones. “Was it a good surprise?”
He was met by a sly smile as Myra popped one of the popcorns in her mouth before leaning in and whispering “Very good” just as the cinema darkened. As the director of the movie walked out on the floor in front of the screens to cheers and started to introduce the movie, Myra found Niall’s hand in the dark and held it, and if blue eyes sought out hers in the dark, she didn’t pretend to notice.
Myra character appeared sobbing on the screen as she ran past a corner and landed unto the floor of the bedroom of the flat, cornered from the man hastily following after her. She turned around to face and meet the eyes of the man she had through the movie seen to have loved dearly, even through all his mistakes. She quickly put her hand around her bag and pulled up the gun she had stuffed in her back pocket before raising it and aiming it at the man, as his eyes showed a wildness that yet seemed to contain some of the gentleness of the character that had been show in the start of the movie.
“Please… Please don’t make me do this” Myra character sobbed uncontrollable as she raised her other hand to hold the gun more steadily. However, it seemed all the gentleness the eyes had to offer before, had disappeared as he took one more step towards her, before a loud bang was heard, as the screen went pitch black.
Then the end titles started rolling and the whole theatre erupted in cheers. Myra could feel a couple of people reaching out to pat her on her back for good work, but in that moment all that mattered was Niall whispering in her ear “You were amazing!” As he squeezed her hand tight, the same hand he hadn’t released his hold on ever since Myra’s grabbed his hand at the start of the movie, before placing a gentle kiss on her cheek. A slight tint of rose appeared on her cheeks, a colour that hadn’t been caused by any of the makeup she had sat through for hours. She looked over and had wanted to kiss him back, but preferably not on his cheek when she was roused up together with her other co-stars to be shown down on the floor together with the director, away from the steady warmth from a hand that had ended up warming more than just her hand.
When she reached the floor she was greeted by cheers and more claps on the back by her fellow co-stars, all of which she congratulated back, until she reached Alex who she grabbed gently around the neck and gave a soft squeeze making him jump a bit as he was oh so very ticklish.
“Why ever do I deserve that” Alex laughed, but before Myra could sneer back he shot in “Since I saw the very obvious hand holding, so I would think a hug or a kiss would have been more in order” he laughed again. “Or perhaps, you should save the kissing for someone else” He chuckled which ended up with him receiving a bit harder squeeze in the same spot as before as they were ordered into a line so that they could all bow. As she got up again her eyes immediately sought out a certain blond fella in the audience, who seemed to be the one applauding the most eagerly.
After having to bow three more times to please the large audience, they’re finally ushered back into the hall where Myra received more claps on her back and general compliments on her acting, from people who unlike the stupid reporter from before actually seemed to understand the depths of her character, which she appreciated dearly.
Once again however she turned around to meet the man she had left in their seats when the group of the actors had been ushered out of the cinema.
“I know I already said it, but you did amazing in there” Niall spoke with a large grin “Absolutely stunned be away”
“I recon you might be biased in your opinion based on your motives” Myra just responded with a sly grin.
“My motives huh?” Niall remarked with a grin of his own. “I thought me coming here showed my motives pretty clearly”
“Yeah, how so” Myra said while moving just a bit closer.
“Well-“
“Get a room you two” A women sniggered as she walked by, catching Myra with a blush as she took a step back and glared after the women who waked past.
“I’m I right in guessing that was a certain Jennifer Moore” Niall commented.
“Yeah, that’s the wicked witch of the moors alright” Myra sneered not noticing the considerable larger distance between them. It looked like Niall however had noticed it, but wasn’t sure how to address it, and it seemed like he never got to as large announcement of an after party at a venue away was starting now, and slowly people started to thin out. Niall knowing well from his own times how important, or at least enjoyable the after party is turned to see Myra who hadn’t moved out of her spot to follow the rest.
“So, how wild are movie premieres after parties then?” Niall asked as he looked around of the thinning crowd, certainly suggesting that it was a popular choice to go to the party.
“Well, I won’t know for tonight sadly” Myra said as she turned to look at the thinning crowd as well.
“Oh, you’re not going? How come?” Niall asked, fearing that for Myra it had been doomed to be a short night anyway, hinting that this might be the last of their night together.
“Well you see, it just so happens that tonight will be one of the few nights I’ll be in LA before we go to the world tour premiere. Therefore also one of the few nights that this artist who had kind of promised me a private concert after this whole twitter thing, would be able to do it.” She said with a small smile as she turned to face Niall, who quickly caught up on where she was going with it, and eased as a smile spread on his face as well.  
“Well, this artist is certainly very lucky to be able to spend a night with you” Niall smirked.
“Yeah, he certainly is” Myra responded with a teeth showing smile, as the temptations of the night ahead seemed suddenly a lot more pleasing than getting drunk with her co-stars at a 5 star venue with a free bar, and then that was saying something.
The sunshine sprayed Myra’s bedroom of her LA apartment with sunshine, and woke up Myra the way only an LA sunrise can. However, this morning in particular seemed to be a bit different from some of those other mornings that same sun had woken her up, as this time the warmth that affected her most was that of a body lying pressed up against her. Hazy memories of last night came floating back to her, of new songs played on Myra’s guitar in candlelight’s “Because atmosphere okay”, and talks long into the night, that turned into lazy make out sessions into the night, that didn’t reach much further because both was tired after busy schedules for far too long. As the memories filled her still sleep fogged brain, she turned around to face the body mass who had occupied her bed and had hold her tight, and she started tracing freckles, birthmarks, and laugh lines that scattered the face who’s nose started twitching, hinting that she was soon to not be the only awoke one.
“It tickles” A groggy Irish voice mumbled into the many pillows which was one of the luxuries Myra allowed herself to have.
“Your beard is really what’s tickling me, so I should be the one complaining” Myra sniggered, which received a rough chuckle for the man above her as he stretched his hands so that they held Myra again.
“Don’t blame my beard for your sensitive fingers” Niall just muttered as he buried his face into the soft neck of the women lying so softly next to him in the rising sun.
“Well I’m sorry I haven’t spent the last 5 years playing guitar non-stop, causing my fingers to grow rough and hard, which I should say causes tickling even easier!” Myra just commented as she fell into the embrace but kept stroking her fingers along the skin of the man, moving from his face to his forearms as she made herself comfortable.  
“You’re saying that this tickles then?” Niall asked as he moved his fingers to stroke her gently down the sides where her t-shirt had ridden up.
“Nope” the women said through her teeth as she tensed up.
“Liar” muttered Niall as he started tickling her for real, which ended up with the covers flying off as Myra’s legs started kicking around rapidly while laugh broke past her lips.
Niall who was now definitely awake decided earnestly that this was the best morning by far he had had in a long time. Worst of all though was that he just might actually have to send flowers to Harry or something now, as he was sort of the reason why his smile didn’t falter that whole morning.
