Chapter Text
"great job guys!" the production team exclaimed as the cameras came to a cut, standing up from their chairs, y/n and aidan shook hand's with the interviewer.
"thanks for having us" y/n smiled at the interviewer before they exchanged kisses on the cheek.
"oh no problem, im a fan of the comics so i was so excited to see the two of you- and the casting directors didn't disappoint" the interviewer told the actress before hugging aidan, as the two pulled away from the hug, aidan glanced down at y/n, seeing that she was already looking at him.
"they really didn't" he spoke, y/n just wanted to roll her eyes right then and there but for the sake of her career, she didn't, just smiling at aidan, but that smile soon faded once the interviewer turned their back on them.
this is gonna be a long season.
the two just stood there, waiting for one of them to walk away so that they can say a snarky remark to one another, yet not one budge, aidan placed his hands on his pockets, y/n bit the inside of her cheek.
"so are you guys just gonna stand there?" y/n's assistant asked, looking at the two who just stood there silently.
"no-" y/n cleared her throat, walking off the scene, making her way backstage, aidan and her assistant followed.
"awh thanks aidan you're such a sweetheart" aidan mocked y/n's words from the previous interview, placing a hand by his heart "i know right" he chuckled.
he's so full of himself.
y/n scoffed, grabbing her stuff "don't let it get to your head-ย and really happy that y/n landed the role as well,ย you're so full of yourself" y/n mocked back, earning a sneer from aidan.
"sorry to interrupt your insult spree but the two of you need to get on set for your scenes in episode 3" y/n's assistant pointed out, looking at her watch before leading the two out of the building, to the car, and driving to set.
the car ride there was filled with loud silence that made y/n's manager, assistant and Mr. Gallagher feel somewhat un-easy

"harry potter again?" aidan- orย five, asked leaning against the doorframe of the set of the umbrella academy library as y/n slouched comfortably on one of the chairs, flipping through the pages of a harry potter book.
y/n- orย eightย ignored him, she could only wish that she could actually ignore him, aidan began to walk towards her, the whole set fell silent, watching the two interact as the camera's rolled.
"still mad at me?" his voice was almost soft, almost sympathetic, standing in front of the actress.
yes.
"still a prick?" y/n looked up at the uniformed aidan.
i don't consider myself a prick.
"hey, im sorry okay?" aidan spoke his line, taking a step back as y/n stood up from the chair, making space for the two of them so that they aren't on each other's faces.
"save it five" y/n replied, walking towards a glass window, the light's of the green-screen practically blinding her but she had to and sat down on the window sill, sliding the window open before glancing down at a foam mattress that will catch her fall for the next scene.
"im seriousย eight" as the camera panned towards aidan, y/n quickly grabbed the harness that was waiting for her and secured herself with it before the camera panned back on her, y/n took a quick breath before falling backwards to the mattress "EIGHT!" she heard aidan scream, trying to grab her foot, the harness helped her slow down the fall, not wanting her to fall down head first and break her neck.
"CUT!" the director yelled after the camera's stopped filming "great job guys!" he clasped his hands together while the two teenagers got their hairs and make-ups retouched.

"rolling in 3.. 2..." the camera's started once more, tom opened the door of the van, almost making y/n fall off, her character; eight, was asleep and the scene was that five would pull her to sit next to him on the driver's seat so that luther could take a seat on the passenger's seat.
"oh shit- my badย eight" tom- orย lutherย apologized, y/n quickly felt aidan's hand on her arm, expecting him to pull her next to him, but his hand quickly travelled towards her waist, lifting her up like she was made of air and placing her down on his lap, straddling him.
oh what the hell.
y/n and aidan exchanged glances of confusion and agitation, y/n could feel her eye twitch and aidan could feel his face heat up while tom watched the two look at each other, seeing y/n place her hands on aidan's shoulder while he held her waist close,ย was this a part of the script?ย tom asked himself before pushing the thought away.
"what are you doing here?" aidan cleared his throat, turning to tom while y/n did the same, irritated by aidan's improvisation, a warning would have been nice but the camera's were rolling "how did you find us?"
tom didn't say anything and just signalled the two to look behind their seats, to the back of the van, robert- orย klausย was there, dancing with five's mannequin girlfriend,ย doloresย "can we get some privacy guys? we're really hitting it back here-" he requested before letting out a scream as aidan chucked a empty coffee cup at him.
"You're not supposed to be here!" he yelled at the two adults "we're in the middle of something!" aidan continued while robert crawled towards the front.
"uhm" the irish actor looked at the two teenagers up and down, noting down their position, he opened his mouth to comment but y/n interrupted him.
"for the record- i was asleep half of the time" that wasn't even on the script but she didn't want to hear them comment about her situation-ย WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU DO THIS ANYWAYS AIDAN?! WHY?!
"whatever" tom could sense the panic on y/n and aidan's faces even if they played it off, he took matters into his own hands and continued the scene "-i need the two of you to come home"
"yeah no-" his voice was cut short when y/n shifted on his lap, trying to get off him, he just held her down, not having the courage to look at her at the moment.
why did i do this to myself-
"well the last time i checked, im the leader of this family" tom proclaimed, almost as if a brag.
"well the last time i checked, im 8 years older than you" aidan replied, reminding luther that five was older, originally, in the comics five was 58 while eight was just 30, but obviously the writers changed that to make it more appropriate.
"he's got you there" y/n scoffed out her line.
