Your personal Tumblr journey starts here
Ok I have request where Chris Evans got nominated by a random movie. His florist or highschool teacher, reader was there to support him. He decided to propose to her in front of the celebs and everyone watching on tv
Chris came into your shared bedroom, holding a zipped-up dress bag.
“It cameee.” He sang hovering over you in the bed.
“What came?”
“Your dress. For the Oscars this Saturday remember?”
“What! Chris, I told you I was just gonna wear that black one in my closet, it’s perfectly fine.”
“Yeah, I know, it’s a great dress but it’s dull. You weren’t made to blend into the crowd and besides I wanted to treat you.”
You got up and took the bag from his hand. The dress felt heavy in your hand, and you wondered what he would of picked out.
“What if it doesn’t fit?”
“I doubt it, was custom made to your measurements.” He smirked at you.
“Chris! That would have costed hundreds if not thousands of dollars you can’t spend that much on me.”
“Yeah, well too late I already did now come on go try it on!” Shoving you into your wardrobe and closing the door behind him.
“I’m not opening this door until you put the dress on.”
You sighed, hanging it up on the hook, you slowly unzipped the bag.
You gasped when you glimpsed the first detail.
It was beautiful. The sheer body-hugging fabric was garnished in individual hand stitched flowers, embossed onto the dress. Each one different from the next sewed all the way to the floor and on the sleeves.
(This dress but LONG)
Slowly, you took it off the hanger, stepping into the gown.
“I need some help with the zipper.” You called out to Chris
He opened the door, frozen in his step when he saw you in it.
“Wow.” He breathed out in whisper.
Pulling your hair to the side, you turned your back on him. “A little help please.”
“Of course, yeah… sorry.”
His warm hands made contact with the skin of your back, pulling the zipper upwards smoothly.
“Perfect fit.” He whispered in your ear, turning you towards the mirror to look at yourself properly.
“Florals for my florist.” He grinned
“Chris, this is beautiful I don’t know what to say.”
“Thank you is a good start.” He chuckled.
You turned around to face him. Embracing him in a kiss.
“Thank you.” You whispered on his lips.
“It’s my pleasure… really.” His hands delicately grasping your hips.
“Hair and makeup are coming at 2, and I booked you in to get your nails done tomorrow at 4. Keep it simple yeah?”
“You’re doing too much Christopher.”
“Nonsense nothing is ever too much for my girl.” Closing the space between your lips once more.
You finally got to look at yourself all done up in the mirror. Your hair in a bouncy blowout falling on your shoulders, your makeup done in a way where you looked flawless, yet your natural features stood out.
You were kind of shocked Chris chose such a neutral tone for your nails seeing as he usually loved your standard red shade, but you assumed it was a fashion choice to match the dress better.
“Hey, baby the car’s out front are you read-”
“Jesus.” It was his second time seeing you in the dress, but he was equally blown away as the first time. He stood there just admiring you for a moment, beaming like an idiot as he let out the breath, he didn’t realize he was holding in.
You looked beautiful everyday of course. But knowing that today was the day and that he was staring at the woman he was going to make his wife heightened his appreciation of you.
You and Chris met while he was buying flowers for Lisa at your store in midtown Boston. He spent 2 hours pretending to find “the perfect bouquet” just so he could watch and listen to you talk about flowers endlessly. He was enamored by you. The fact you had your own thriving business, the way your hair at the top of your head tied up with random ribbon, how knowledgeable you were about different types of flowers and all the possible color and breed combinations.
He knew one day he was gonna make you his… for good.
After the wild carpet walk in which cameras flashed everywhere and reports kept asking you about your custom gown, complimenting the stunning and relevant choice for a florist. Chris led you into the grand hall.
“You ok honey?” His hand pulling you closer by your waist.
“Yeah, I just don’t think I’ve ever gotten that much attention on the carpet, Jesus.” You puffed out a breath, running your hairs through your hair.
“Told ya you weren’t mean to blend in.” He winked at you.
“Come on we are sitting over here.”
The night went on as you drank and ate, mingling with people at your table and clapping when winners and nominees were announced.
It was coming up to “Best Actor in A Short Film” Chris instantly got nervous, his hand instinctively going to your thigh.
While he didn’t know if he was going to win, he knew he was going homme with his most prized possession tonight you. The ring box secured in his jacket pocket. He was planning to take you on a walk down at the pier after and propose to you there.
He had been working with Mark on this short film for ages. It was his second time directing and acting and he was incredibly proud of the result. The Oscar’s nomination in itself was a massive acknowledgement of his hard work.
The camera panned over the Chris who gave a small wave as Jimmy Kimmel announced the nominees one by one.
“And the Oscar for Best Actor in A Short Film goes to…” Slowly opening the envelope.
You leaned over to Chris whispering to him,
“It’s going to be you.”
“No, it’s not.” He brushed over your comment.
“CHRIS EVANS.” Announced Jimmy
The crowd roared and stood in applause as Chris was announced.
He immediately embraced you in a hug.
“Congrats baby!” You cheered.
“Come with me.” He whispered to you.
“Chris, I cant!”
“Yes you can come on.”
Chris lead you by your hand through the crowd reciprocating high fives and cheers as went. He stood in his tuxedo on the stage, accepting his golden statue. You to the side, a little nervous but beaming with pride and excitement.
Thank you, Thank you so much for this. Ya know this project was a vision I had with Mark Kassen and none of it would have been possible without the incredible cast and crew who had helped us not only make this vision come to life, but better than we thought it could be.
There are so many people I have to thank for this award but honestly, I wouldn’t been up here or even be performing to the level I did, without the encouragement and support of my beautiful girlfriend, Y/N.
The camera panned on you as you blew a kiss with your hand.
And you know, I wasn’t planning on doing this now, but I want everyone here tonight and the folks watching on TV; Hi mom, Hi dad, Hi Y/N’s parents! To know, while this award is amazing, I still would have gone home happy tonight without it, because tonight, I am going to ask a very special girl to marry me.
A gasp fell over the crowd.
Hang on, hang on I need to do this properly, Jimmy you mind holding this? Thanks bro.
He got on one knee, up on stage, in front of thousands of people, but his eyes were firmly on you.
“Y/N, you have made me a better man and I have been hopelessly in love with you since the day I met you. Will you do me the honor of being your husband.”
He pulled the box out from his pocket presenting the glistening diamond ring.
“Omg.” Your hand flew to your agape mouth.
“Say yes!” The crowd heckled.
“Yes, a thousand times, yes.” He stood up, pulling you into a kiss, his grip raising you above ground as he pulled you into his arms.
“Well folks looks like tonight just got even better. Congratulations to the happy couple!”
Jimmy spoke to the mic. As cheers grew at what was sure to be one of the most iconic Oscar moments.
You sat in the conference room and took a long gulp of the hot tea in your hand sighing at the taste. Readjusting your glasses as you scanned the agenda in front of you.
RELATIONSHIP LAUNCH
Chris Evans X Y/FN Y/LN
“Jesus.” You thought to yourself, who’s the unlucky fucker who had to write this. You were familiar with meeting agendas and some of the terms; release dates, public statements, media releases, security personnel but the context of this being in regard to you going public with your relationship with a guy you met a work event and who just so happens to be a movie star was bizarre to you.
Before you second guessed your choices in men and how you ended up in a room with publicists, marketers and social media experts, said movie star pulled the chair out next to you, his hand automatically on your knee to stop it jiggling. He leaned in close, pushing a strand of hair past your ear,
“Relax we’ll be in and out in no time.” The words instantly calmed you as you caught his quick wink.
You took a deep breath as everyone got settled around the table.
Chris honestly couldn’t give a shit about what anyone thought, and he found the whole thing equally annoying. Sure, it wasn’t his first time in this room, with a beautiful woman next to him. But in all those times before they were just as comfortable with it.
He knew you weren’t used to it, he hated this was needed but he wanted to use all the resources he had to make sure you were safe and didn’t see one single nasty comment. He didn’t want to lose you to the circus that was his life and he wanted this to be the last time he ever sat in one of these meetings.
He was calm yet tense, you watched the way his jaw would tighten when his publicist mentioned backlash by fans, his hand would grab you a little tighter and he always made sure to give you a sympathetic smile.
He was constantly stealing gazes at you as you slipped your takeaway cup of tea, nodding and acknowledging the reality of the situation.
After the meeting a couple of things came out.
Every social media you ever had was cleaned of photos of you; drunk on a night out, heels in hand, throwing up into a public trashcan… for obvious reasons.
All social medias were private so only your closest friends and family could see – fine you had no ambition of being an influencer.
Searching your name up on the internet is now banned – you could live with that.
You didn’t really care about any of it you just wanted to go home.
You both wanted the launch to be somewhat organic so at Chris’s insistence he’d post a photo on his Instagram and twitter with a simple caption. You’d approve the photo of course.
You never thought an Instagram post would be given the same gravity as unleashing a missile but slowly you grew to understand the reach Chris had.
Chris prepared his statement. Simple yet straight to the point.
I have been so lucky to find someone who makes me incredibly happy and challenges me every day to be a better person. For years, I have wanted and love like this and I’m happy to say I have found it. She’s amazing and brings out the best in me. I hope over time my fans can get to know and love her like I have.
For now, I ask that you give us privacy during this time as we navigate what life looks like now for both of us. I ask that you give her the respect and kindness she deserves. Thank you.
It was good. Really good. And it made you blush like crazy.
After he finished reading and put away his phone, he turned to you
“Happy with that?”
You nodded contently.
He leaned into your ear “If you want, I can put in the part about that thing you do with your tongue when you’re…”
“Stop. It.” You grabbed his chin and gave him a stern look. He poked his tongue out in jest.
------------ ARRIVING HOME ------------------
You finally got through the front door and beamed as Dodger ran up to your feet. Chris dropped his keys in the bowl and turned to you pulling you close by your waist.
“It’s done” he kissed your forehead, then rested his on yours.
“Did you take time off from work like I asked?”
Y/N: “2 weeks from today” you beamed at him.
C: “Good. Pack for cold weather we have to be at the airport in 2 hours.” He pecked your forehead and turned away.
“It’s a surprise you’ll see!” he called as he jogged up the stairs hoping that would prevent answering what was sure to be an onslaught of questions.
You stood there, mouth agape, shaking your head with a scoff. Whatever, you needed a holiday.
------------LEAVING THE PLANE ------------
You followed Chris as his hand held yours tightly, you gripped your other on his forearm, trying to steal his warmth as you walked across the tarmac towards the car. Dodger walked in front of you both, tail high just happy to be involved. You thanked the staff who loaded your bags into the trunk, Chris opened the passenger door guiding you onto the heated seat and placing a blanket on your lap for good measures, he smiled as he tucked the tartan under your thighs. Dodger hopped in and settled into a fluffy cocoon at your feet.
“Alright, ready to go?” Chris looked over at you as he got into the driver’s seat.
“You going to tell me where we are going?”
“No but I can guarantee you’ll love it.”
You rolled your eyes as he grabbed your hand and kissed it.
You travelled through the night on empty roads surrounded by trees. Both your voices filled the car as you sang along to your playlist, both laughing at your inability to sing, with his hand never leaving yours even when he held it in the air as a makeshift microphone.
Finally, you arrived along a gravel road up to a private modern home.
“We’re here.” Chris exclaimed as he pulled the key out of the ignition. You were speechless as you studied the house exterior. It was modern yet cozy, with not a single house in sight for miles. Exactly what you needed.
“It’s a rental, in case you were wondering, but if you really love it, I’ll buy it.” He smirked.
You slapped his chest, “Don’t be stupid… it’s not even my birthday yet.” He chuckled at your response.
You both were kidding but you didn’t doubt he’d buy it if you wanted him to.
You unpacked and headed towards the shower, letting the hot water fall over your curves. You dressed in your silk pyjama set and made your way to the living room.
The fireplace crackled, its warmth filling the whole room with Dodger settled on his bed right beside it.
Chris was finishing pouring the glass of your favorite white, handing it to you as his arm snaked around your waist, placing a long kiss on your lips.
“God, you smell good.”
“This.” You gestured your glass around you “Is perfect. Thank you… I mean it.”
“It wouldn’t be perfect if I didn’t have you here.” He laid soft kisses on your lips, you wrapped your arms around his neck, pulling him closer.
“Hey” he pulled out of the kiss…
“I’m sorry for earlier, I know it’s a funny way of making a relationship official and all. But you don’t have to get used to it. I just don’t know what I’d do if something happened, or you were able to see the cruel things people on the internet say. I promise you it’ll be the last time I just wanted everything in order to keep you safe.”
“I’m a big girl Chris… literally.” You gestured to your protruding chest “I think I can take a couple of mean comments here and there… you forget I went to an all-girls High School! I won’t even look, its whatever, I’m just happy to be here with you”
Chris sighed and pulled on your waist a little tighter and bowed his head.
His eyes had darkened “I want you to know that whatever is said about you does not reflect how I feel about you in the slightest, because my god do I love these curves” He squeezed your ass for extra emphasis.
You giggled in response
“But seriously, I don’t won’t you to ever doubt how I feel about you. To me, everything you are, is exactly what I want and need. I need you baby.”
“I know” you arched your neck to kiss his jaw ever so softly.
“And right now, I need you to cuddle me on the couch.”
“Whatever you want.” He grabbed the now half empty glass from you and placed it on the table. Then quickly yanked you over his shoulder, you squealed at the sudden jerk of your body midair.
“Chris! I can walk!”
“Yeah, I know but this is more fun ya know.” He said, nonchalantly, not even breaking a sweat as he carried you one handedly towards the couch.
With one final slap of your ass, he threw you on the couch and you landed with a thump amongst the plush pillows, giggling still at the impromptu rollercoaster ride.
Chris grabbed the throw blanket to your side and settled next you, draping you both in the soft material. His arm went up onto the back of the couch and like instinct you snuggled up against him.
He pulled you close, as the Hallmark movie played, hand lazily stroking your back. You rested your head on his chest content with the sound of his heartbeat and faint smell of cologne. It really was perfect.
2 weeks of uninterrupted bliss.
“Shit I almost forgot.”
“What”
“Our photo.”
You felt ill at the thought. Suddenly, the anxiety returned and wish you could hold it off as long as possible, you loved that your relationship was for you two and you two only.
Chris noticed your discomfort and pulled you in as close as possible.
“Hey baby, it’ll be fine, they said going in hard straight off the bat was a good strategy, allows people time to sink it in. No games. I’ll post this, the mags will approach my team for comment, they’ll give them my statement and that’ll be it.”
You gave him a weary smile. You were in the room and knew the plan but the whole thing still felt icky.
“Come on… we’ll have fun with it! I’ll let you choose the photo…”
“Fine, share the screen.”
“That’s my girl.”
Chris pulled out his phone from under the blanket, going through his favorites, you both skimmed through the thousands of photos of you and Dodger.
“This one would for sure create a stir.” Chris grinned as he clicked on the photo of you sunbaking topless in his backyard. Your boobs as always sagged slightly down, and you hated the way you stomach poked out from your bikini bottom. Shielding the sun with your forearm it only really showed your beaming smile. Chris LOVED this photo.
“Don’t be silly what else.”
He went to the one he took of you walking Dodger, you could only see the back of you. Your hair in a ponytail and your ass nicely shaped by those grey Amazon leggings that Chris bought for you after he saw an ad for them. Dodger was looking up towards you as you walked down the path. You remembered that day but didn’t know Chris was taking a photo.
“I like that one, but you need to stop using Dodger for clout.”
“What do you mean… he loves the spotlight! Besides you can’t even see your face in this one it’s no good.”
“I don’t even know if I want them to see my face.”
“Oh, come on, you’re beautiful besides you’re not gonna be able to walk down the red carpet with a paper bag on your head baby.”
“Who says I can’t?!” you mocked a shocked face making Chris give a full belly laugh.
“I know the photo.” Chris scrolled up past the endless Dodger sleeping positions until he found it.
It was both of you at his mom’s house. Watching the Patriot’s Game in matching jerseys, eyes focused on the TV. You sat similarly how you were now, with Chris’s arms wrapped around you tightly, you slouched up against him. It was a great photo and perfectly incapsulated you both. You loved football.
“You approve?” Chris looked down at you.
“Yeah, I approve.” You pecked his lips.
Chris went to post it on IG, captioning it, to your dismay
“Couples who watch football together, stay together.”
You cringed but had to laugh at the truthfulness.
“Really… you’re going to caption it that?”
“Yeah, isn’t that like a trendy thing to say?”
“You’re so out of touch with the youth” you laughed at him.
“Ok fine what do I say… this is the love of my life please be nice she’s new?” He smirked at you
“Just do a blue heart or something! I don’t know!”
“Does blue heart scream serious relationship though?”
“They’re going to question it either way why does it matter?”
“I just want people to know ya know? Like I’m making a statement here come on!”
“I know you like me you don’t need to profess your love on Instagram, this is just to alert the masses nothing more.”
“Yeah, but what if...” You cut him off
“You’re overthinking it Cap…”
You only ever called him Cap to tease him, but it always worked to soften him up.
“Ok ok, blue heart, that’s good, you’re good at this. Ok posting in… 3… 2… 2 and a half”
‘Oh my God… Chris just post it already!” You groaned.
“1!” He then quickly turned off his phone and threw it at the couch next to you.
You both ended up in a fit of laughter at what was probably the most thrilling Instagram you’ve ever posted.
