[Oh I love me some actor!asra au, I will never deprive anyone of that~ also welcome @kemahz! I hope this was worth the wait, sorry it took so long ;A;]

Asra was fine. 

There wasn’t a tremor in his hand, not a clench to his teeth or a tense feeling in his shoulders. He was perfectly fine, perfectly normal and perfectly relaxed. 

The cup of coffee in his hand however was not. 

“Um, Asra, your coffee is spilling over.” He heard Nadia, the assistant director and writer, say that to him seconds before he felt the burning liquid pour over his hand. He winced and put the cup down quickly, shaking the brown coffee from his hand with a sigh. Nadia, who had known him since they were young, could tell something was bothering him and gently rubbed his shoulder. 

“Are you okay?” She asked. “You’ve been so agitated lately, is something going on?” She asked and Asra pouted, crossing his arms and huffing at her. 

“You should know, this is your fault.” He grumbled and she looked surprised. 

“Me? What did I do?” she asked and he pulled the script for the next episode of the show he acted in out of his back pocket and showed it to her, pointing at page eighteen accusingly. Nadia blinked before her face settled into its usual, half lidded look, an amused smile on her face. 

“Oh, are you upset that y/n is going to be kissing another man?” She teased and Asra huffed again holding the script very close to her face.

“You did do this!” He insisted and she giggled behind her hand, looking off innocently. 

“I can’t recall if I did or not,” she teased and Asra grumbled at her, making her chuckle. “Oh wait, now I remember, yes I did.” She admitted and he threw the script in the air reaching to her face to pinch her cheeks in retaliation making her swat at him teasingly. Asra would never hurt her really. 

“Why would you do this to meeeeeeee??” Asra sighed, sagging against her and she had to hold him up, rolling her eyes but patting his head gently. 

“Asra, it’s important for y/n’s character to go through this, it’s going to show just how loyal she is to you and your character.” she assured him. “It’s character development honey, it has to be done.” She said and Asra looked up at her with reluctant acceptance. 

“Fiiiine,” He said and sat up, leaning on her arms a moment before moving to clean up the mess he’d made of his coffee. “But if we break up because she falls in love with that guest actor I’m blaming you!” He insisted and she nodded, giving him a soft smile.

“I know, I know.” She insisted just as the director called that they would begin in thirty minutes. Asra knew where he wanted to be until then so he cleaned up, bid Nadia goodbye and made his way to the hair and makeup side of the set. He saw the guest actor in one of the chairs making his stomach burn in a way he hated, turning to find you. 

You were in your chair, pouting out your lips as Julian applied some of your favorite lip gloss. He loved that lip gloss. It was blueberry flavored. Julian was making you laugh, he was good at that and teased you for not staying still. 

“Y/N, darling, you have to stay still and not think about how funny it’s going to be when the director finds out Faust is in his book bag.” He teased, making you giggle as you thought about the reaction the director was going to have at that. He wouldn’t ever hurt Faust, he was harmless, but snakes freaked him out so he was definitely going to scream. 

They’d most likely all hear it. 

She liked to prank. 

Asra felt the burn in his tummy alleviate when he saw you and your happy smile, causing a small smile on his own face, coming closer to you and standing beside Julian, hands behind his back and leaning towards you slightly. “Hello y/n,” He said and you smiled, urging him closer which he obliged, leaning down so you could kiss him sweetly. 

“Hi Asra~” You smiled. “You look so handsome today- oh, what happened to your hand?” You asked as he had placed a hand on your chair, the one he burned, when he had leaned towards you. He chuckled as you took his hand, looking it over worriedly. 

“Oh, I spilled my coffee,” He said as if it were nothing to worry about. “It looks a lot worse than it feels, I promise.” he assured you and you gently ran your thumb over the burn, looking up at him with worry in your eyes. 

“Are you sure?” You asked and he smiled softly, leaning down to rub his nose against yours. 

“I’m sure,” He reassures you and you look unsure before he kisses you sweetly, making you forget for a moment and gently kiss him back. “Don’t worry so much, your frowning will ruin your makeup.” He teased and you swatted his chest gently. 

“Oh stop,” You smiled and he did too before flicking a look behind you and you saw his jaw set a moment, making you look at Julian curiously who had noticed as well. Julian gave a “what is that about?” look to you before looking where Asra was looking, making the red haired man snort a laugh. Asra glared at him and Julian just laughed out loud. 

“Asra, sweetie, jealousy is not a good color on you.” he tutted and Asra blushed when you turned and saw he was looking at your co-star for the day, confused a moment before you realized what he was upset about. You gently pulled on his sleeve to get him to look at you, his embarrassed flush dimming a bit when he looked at you. 

“Are you worried?” You asked. “Do you think I’m going to leave you when I kiss that guy?” You said and Asra muttered to himself, making you giggle. It was kind of cute to see Asra jealous, he didn’t usually seem the type but for some reason the idea of having to watch you kiss someone else was getting under his skin. 

He didn’t like it. 

Not one bit. 

You gently took his face in your hands, but he avoided your eyes, looking embarrassed but you smiled and gently ran your thumbs over his cheeks. “Asra, look at me,” You said gently and it took a moment but he relented, looking into your sweet, comforting eyes. “It’s a stage kiss, I’m not going to kiss him the way I do you,” you assured him. “I promise, you’re the only person I want to kiss and the only one I want kissing me, this is just work, I’m not going to enjoy it.” You promised. 

Asra believed you, he had no reason not to, and after a moment he sighed through his nose and nodded, giving you a soft smile. “Okay…okay…” He said, gently patting your hands with his. “I know, I just…I wish you didn’t have to.” He said and you gave him an understanding smile, kissing his nose. 

“I know, but it won’t last long and it’s only one episode,” You assured him and Asra cast a glance in Nadia’s direction, wondering what else she had up her sleeve when it came to them and the show in general. “So don’t worry, it’ll be okay.” You promised, leaning in towards him to whisper to him. “And we can make out afterwards,” you said and that made him perk up a bit. 

“Oh…okay, that sounds reasonable.” He said and you giggled,making him smile and nuzzle into your palm and you pinched his cheek teasingly as the director called everyone to set. Asra felt that burn in his tummy again but you squeezing his hand made him feel better. He reluctantly let you go and stood by with Julian who put an arm around his shoulder and pat him there. 

“She only has eyes for you, you know?” He assured him as you and the guest actor shook hands and chatted for a moment. Asra felt that tenseness rise in his shoulders until he saw you turn to smile at him, making his burning turn into butterflies. He smiled softly and nodded to you and Julian grinned, ruffling his hair. 

“Don’t you worry, she’s probably the most eager to get this over with.” He assured Asra and the man nodded, but crossed his arms, hugging himself a bit and moving to sit down, waiting for his time to appear. He wasn’t going to come in for a few hours at least, they had a few scenes to shoot with their guest actor while he was there before they shot more of his character. 

He was doing well until the kiss actually happened. 

Oh it tore him up to see it and he didn’t know why. He trusted you, so much, he knew this was just work for you but dammit if he hated seeing someone else touch you that way. He almost ran over and yanked you away from him but he stopped himself, glad it only lasted a second or two…

But to him it was like time slowed down. It took so long and he hated it. When it was over, the director called for a break and you went right to him, smiling reassuringly at him and reaching for his hand but he beat you to it. He took a step towards you and took you in his arm, giving you one of the deepest but sweetest kisses he’d ever given you, catching you completely off guard. 

But you certainly didn’t mind. 

You hugged him tightly, kissing him in return and rubbing noses with him. “See?” You said softly. “You’re the only one I want to smooch.” You promised and he nodded, giving you a smile and you could see the love in his eyes. 

“And you’re the only one I want.” He promised too. “Forever.”
