Kit Connor Imagines

summary: the story of how kit connor, actor on the heartstopper set, asked you, a hair and makeup artist, out.

It had been an awfully long day on the set of the second season of Heartstopper for everyone.

The crew for the show had grown in size, a few new characters being introduced to the show.

What didn't change was the hair and makeup team. Or, to specify, Y/n Y/l/n was still working there.

There is another thing worth being mentioned here: Kit Connor was madly in love with her, since the first time they've met.

Everyone on set was able to tell, except her. She mostly stayed in the trailer where she did the hair and makeup for the cast, so she was oblivious to the change of Kit's behaviour around her. She just assumed he was shy.

"Really Kit, if you don't ask her out, I will." Joe snaps when he sees Kit staring at Y/n. "What?" To say Kit was shocked was an understatement. "You heard me. It's so painfully obvious that you like each other!" He groans out in annoyance.

This gave Kit the final push and he nodded his head. "Okay, I'll ask her today." He smiled, looking at Joe.

His friend claps him on the shoulder, laughing. "Finally!"

Now he felt bad. He had told his friend he would do it and he didn't want to let him down.

Little did Kit know that Y/n was just in the trailer, talking to one of her colleagues about him.

Y/n's POV:

"Arwen, shut up." I glare at her, cleaning our utilities because we arrive any minute now for their retouches.

"Come ooon, you should really ask. It's a wonder how you haven't noticed yet." She smiles a grin that seems to scream: "Everyone knows".

"Really, learn how to respect my boundaries." I shake my head, but I can't help the smile spreading on my face, letting her know it was a joke.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever. You should make a move on him before someone else does."

Merely ten seconds of silence after her last statement and the door opens, revealing a tired Joe.

"Hey guys, how are you?" He asks, his gaze lingering on me for just a second too long.

"Oh we're great, what about you? I was just telling Y/n how she need to ask-" I immediately shut her up, knowing that Joe would probably tell Kit and then everything would be ruined.

"For a new makeup set. This one is gonna be empty pretty soon. Would you take a seat, please? I think you have to be back on set soon." I chuckle awkwardly, pointing to one of the seats.

The next ones to come in are William and Yasmin, talking about something really funny apparently.

"And he just looked at her like a fish." Yasmin laughs, greeting us after she regains her composure.

When Joe and William leave, Kit comes in, cheeks a light pink. He probably ran here to be on time.

"Hey guys." He smiles, sitting in the chair that was previously occupied by Joe.

"Hi, how are you Kit?" I ask, moving in front of to put a little makeup on his face.

It seems to me that our faces are little too close together, his nose only 2 centimetres away from mine.

"I'm great! What about you?" He questions back, smiling brightly.

"Oh yeah, I'm fine too. Arwen, they need Yasmin on set pretty soon, how far are you?" I turn my head to look at her and she replies, "Just a minute."

"How's the filming doing?" The silence would be too suffocating, so I try to keep the conversation going.

"It's good, I like what I got to see." He informs me, moving his head to the side for me to work there.

"Hey, Yasmin is finished. Is it okay if I take a break or do you need any help with Kit?" Arwen asks, once Yasmin stands up.

"You can take a break, I don't think I'll need help." I smile at her, and after she closes the door behind her, it is entirely silent.

"So, I finished your makeup, I'm just going to retouch your hair." I tell him, before I move to get a brush.

After going through his hair once, twice, and so on, he is the one to speak up.

"Hey Y/n..." I wait for him to continue, but when he doesn't I let him know he could continue speaking. "I was wondering if...", he takes yet another break and I imagine all the things he could say now.

"Youwantedtomaybegoonadatewithme." I just blink at him through the mirror, confusion clearly visible on my face.

"I'm gonna need you to repeat that, but maybe slower this time?" I request, hands not working on his hair anymore.

"I was wondering if you wanted to maybe go on a date with me." This sentence confuses me even more than the one before and I look at him again.

He looks very in-character, the clothes, hair, everything. The uncomfortable expression on his face leads me to believe that he might regret asking me, but I laugh.

I laugh at myself for not believing everyone who told me that he liked me, I laughed at Kit for thinking I might say no, and I laugh because I'm happy.

"Yes, I'd love to Kit." I smile at him, taking a step back. "Just text me when and where, alright?" I walk over to the desk where we keep pens and paper, just for when we might need them.

Y/n Y/l/n
(Your phone number)
Text me soon (:

I hand him the piece of paper and he stands up from the chair he had been sitting in.

"Thank you so much. I wanted to do this for a long time." He admits, the all too familiar blush covering his cheeks.

"I was very close to asking you, if I'm honest, but I think you have to be on set now." He hugs me and I feel like I might just die out of happiness.
