alycia: the idea of arguing with you in a playful debate just seems so appealing to me? i bet you are a fun person to debate with, especially with all the hand movements involved from both of us. i'm very argumentative with my hands. that's good. you should be spoiled on your birthday. alycia: they wouldn't have anything to report if it wasn't sex related, so anytime you look in the direction of a woman they have to automatically assume that you are fucking her. i normally never had that problem until one of those one direction dudes started following me and would constantly like my posts. his fans would send me so much hate because they thought we were dating, but in reality i've never met the guy in real life. it was wild. alycia: you mean they are gonna top season one? that's gonna be difficult, but i'll report back as soon as i've seen the entire season and let you know if that statement holds true. it's called 'liked' and basically it's where two friends trade places on social media to try and hook up with a girl, but the one who's catfishing ends up falling for the girl aka me. i appreciate that. i'm a little scared about how unknown the future is, but i'm excited for a little break.
pedro: in that case, you can argue away and i'll just have to match your energy. i'm latino, i've never backed down from an argument in my life. i felt so much love on my birthday, really couldn't have asked for anything better. pedro: it's infuriating, especially since it relies on those bullshit assumptions that men and women can't be friends without sex being involved in the equation. if only tmz knew that the majority of my closest friends are women and i love them all dearly and platonically. what a concept, eh? i feel especially bad when people get hate because of me and those shitty lies. pedro: this season might be even better than season 1 honestly. that's exciting! what's the movie about? where did you film it? there's always slow points but i know you'll bounce back from it quickly. besides, a few weeks of vacation isn't the worst thing in the world.
i'm sorry! i'm a terrible person for depriving you of such joys, but i promise the second we are in the same place for more than a day i will carry out this much needed, in person catch up. i was actually in prague with a boy— the boy, if you will. i'm usually not one to kiss and tell but— it's you so i will.
Betrayal. Actual betrayal. I was fully ready to throw on sweats, pour us two obnoxiously full glasses of wine, and live out our long-overdue catch-up in person. I'm kidding. That sounds incredible though! What were you doing in Prague? And virtual hangout it is. You better come prepared with stories.
aussie hell is the worst kind of hell to find yourself in, so the studio should be shaking in their boots. i feel like that's why my love for marvel isn't as much as it used to. i feel like they were trying to milk that cow as along as they could, and after a while the quality started to go down— at least for some films. i love that for you, because if that title doesn't invoke fear into the studio then i don't know what will. i would love to marvel in a spiderman movie, but i don't know if that will ever come.
alright, alright — message received loud and clear. i’m honestly a little scared for the studio now... aussie hell sounds intense, and i fully support it. you’re absolutely right though — if they hadn’t been off making seventeen different spin-offs and squeezing every drop out of the multiverse, maybe we’d already be swinging through another film by now. but hey, i admire the commitment. i’ll consider this your official application to be the voice of the people — and if i do end up in those meetings, i’ll just casually drop, “alycia debnam-carey is not impressed and she’s sharpening her boomerang,” yeah? also, side note — if you ever want to cameo and show them how it’s done, i’m just saying… you'd make a killer addition to the spider-verse.

i have never been more frustrated that i'm not stateside at the moment. i left prague and went to the UK right after, but i'm always down for a little gossip session with you. we can pop out the ipad, pour us both a glass of wine, and have us a good ol' virtual hangout session.
Wait, are you still stateside? Because I need to hear this little gossip before you jet off to the UK. My movie wrapped, so I’m officially back home in L.A., reunited with my own bed and aggressively average coffee. If you’re around, let’s carve out time for a proper catch-up, you can tell me more about this special friend. I’ll bring the wine, you bring the tea (figuratively, unless it’s scandalous enough to require actual tea).
those people don't matter. the only person that matters is you, and you've always treated me like i was the most important thing to you, and that means more to me than you will ever know. you made it very difficult not to fall in love with you, and let me tell you i tried not to. i was afraid i'd get hurt again, and i deprived myself of years of happiness because of that fear. i don't want that fear to define my future or my happiness anymore. i just know that i want you. if you will have me. that future that you see for yourself? i see it too. a beautiful gothic wedding, a couple of blonde haired, blue eyed babies that look just like you. it's very achievable, and i'm so willing to give you that life.
Yeah? I'm happy to hear that I've always made you feel like a queen when you're with me, darling, because that's how you should always feel. Plus, you know how much it pisses me off when I think about all the people that have treated you poorly or haven't treated you like you deserved to be treated. And you should never be made to feel like a last option, you know that, love. Well, I don't think the rest of the world would be ready if I showed up wearing nothing at all, darling, so we'll keep that for your eyes only. You're the best hype woman, there's no doubt about that, and you always make me feel more sure of myself. You love my ears? Though I approve of you thinking they're nibble-worthy, of course. I'd say the same for me, but I've not been lying to myself. I've known what I've felt for you, I just haven't felt like I could tell you because it would ruin things. And that's what I told myself, that I'd rather have you in whatever way I could than not have you at all, so I'd just shut up and take whatever you were willing to give. I just didn't think you saw me as anything more than your friend Jamie, who made you feel better sometimes, you know? But it makes me happy hearing I'm the person you always come to when you're happy or you get good news, and very happy I'm who you come to for comfort. You've been my person for years now, darling, that's something I've known and honestly accepted a while ago. I do the same thing when it comes to my future, and I'll admit I've been thinking about my future and settling down a lot, and you're who I see that with. Until now I just told myself it was an unachievable dream.
alycia: i told you i was a piece of shit, but i guess it's better late than never? i'm not a huge fan of watching a show of film when the hype is still be loud. it opens me up for spoilers and that's not the vibe i'm going for. we definitely support the latter because that leather? show stopping. ☺️ please continue to compliment me. i haven't had my daily dose of praise from you. but seriously, i am very proud of you. in case i don't say it enough.
jensen: wow. 84 years, glad you finally emerged from the cave, debnam-carey. i’ll take “hot” in any form — hero, anti-hero, guy-who-makes-bad-decisions-in-leather. you're hot as well, since we're complimenting each other here, i gotta be honest. appreciate you watching though, seriously. means a lot coming from you. and hey — you’re not a terrible friend. just... a very patient one.
alycia did not hesitate to accept jamie's offer to spend time with him in prague. she would have been lying if she said she hadn't missed him in the wake of his absence. the two had always been very close, not only physically, but emotionally as well. she had been there for jamie through some of the darkest moments of his life, and she did it with a level of love and understanding. she had always cared about him— more than she had realized. their attachment to one another had always gone unspoken. mostly out of fear of rejection or the loss of their friendship. she had been hurt one too many times by those she trusted the most, so keeping jamie at arms length felt like the right thing to do— until now.
something had shifted between the two of them in their most recent text exchange. he had always been his usual, charming self, but there was something else that lingered as well. was it love? maybe. was it lust? definitely. alycia didn't quite know what it was that was brewing between them, all she knew was that she didn't want it to stop. the minute she had landed in pargue he was there to greet her. they had their moment in the airport before he took her back to his hotel. it didn't take them long to fall back into old habits, and before she could unpack they were in bed together.
the two spent her first night in bed, playing catch up and enjoying each other. they had so much time they had to make up for, with all the time in the world to do it. they had to roll out of bed at some point, and there was no better reason than to have a spooky little date with jamie. the two had joked about finding something fun and spooky to do, and being the dark prince that he was he had managed to find them the perfect location. with much hesitation on her end he had finally convinced her to get out of bed and join him in the shower. she could have easily skipped the date to stay in bed with him, but the idea of a spooky castle was too cool to pass up. she had promised him she'd wear one of her many little black dresses, so she pulled on the thin strapped, form fitting short mini dress and paired it with a pair of her favorite flats.
she gave herself a final look in the mirror once she was dressed. she had opted for a subtle, more natural look with her makeup. she never felt the need to wear much about jamie. he always managed to make her feel beautiful with or without it. with one final comb through of her wavy, brown hair, she took his arm so they could be on their way. luckily the location in question wasn't far from the hotel, so she didn't mind walking the short distance. "i bet that's just as beautiful as it is spooky— let's start there." her eyes lit up as she turned to face him. she always had to look up just slightly due to the height difference, and every time she managed to catch his gaze. "i know i sound like a broken record at this point, but i have missed you." she rose to her tip toes long enough to place a gentle kiss against his lips. "i didn't realize how much until i got here, and now i can't imagine being anywhere else."
When Alycia had offered to come to Prague, Jamie would admit that he'd been very thrilled with the idea. He'd been missing the actress a lot since it felt like a long time since the pair had seen each other last. Their friendship had been a strong one for many years, she'd been by his side for a lot of his ups and downs and valued any time that he got with her. And it just wasn't about the fact that they were sleeping together as well, even though that part of their relationship made Jamie very happy, he just liked being around her, loved spending time with her. So he was happy she was in Prague with him now, happy that they were in each other's space and just getting to spend time together. And he told himself he'd try not to think about the other feelings he had when it came to Alycia, because he was still pretty sure if he voiced them out loud he'd lose his friendship with her. And no matter what, he'd rather have some of her than none of her, so he was keeping those feelings unspoken. Her time with him was just about spending time together, having some sex if they felt the desire, and just being the great friends that they were, nothing more than that.
So after a much-needed reunion when Alycia reached the hotel they'd be sharing, and when the two finally decided to roll out of bed, Jamie decided that he needed to plan a spooky adventure for the two of them for the night. Jamie had been told that one of the most haunted places in Prague was Prague Castle, so that's where he planned to take Alycia tonight. He loved being in such a spooky city, and Prague was voted one of the most haunted in the world every year, which he loved. So after the two shared a shower together, Jamie got dressed all in black because that was his normal go-to style. Though while dressing all in black, he went with a little dressier black pants than normal and a black button-down that he left a few of the top buttons undone so his tattoos could peek through. He just felt like he should dress up a little more, like it was a date, even though he knew it wasn't a date, they were just friends, but he remembered Alycia saying something about a little black dress, and he didn't want to be undressed. He pulled on a pair of his favorite black boots, placed all his silver jewelry on, and fussed with his hair until it looked halfway decent.
After that, he waited until Alycia was ready as well, made sure to tell her she looked beautiful, which she always did, and took her arm to lead her out of the hotel and walk to where the Prague Castle was, which thankfully wasn't too far from their hotel. As they approached the huge Gothic structure, Jamie would admit that his eyes lit up because it was exactly his type of building, and he knew he was going to enjoy exploring the castle very much with the girl that was currently on his arm. Jamie couldn't help but turn to her with a smile, "So, I was told that the most haunted part of the castle is the cathedral. Do you want to start there?" @alyvas
alycia had gotten lost in a state of bliss. since their return from prague to the uk, she had been riding the high of her new found relationship with jamie. a part of her had always hoped they'd end up together. any sort of future she had ever seen for herself involved him, but he had always been out of reach. she never thought she'd be here, standing on the balcony of their suite over looking a city they were going to call home for the time being. she had fully prepared to spend her break from work alone with her thoughts, but this was a better alternative.
alycia had gotten lost in the views of the city from where she stood. there was something so authentic and beautiful about the UK, and she could have gotten lost in the views until her attention was pulled elsewhere. a sense of comfort took over as soon as she felt the embrace of familiar arms around her waist, the hair on the back of her neck standing at full attention when his lips made contact with her skin. he had her so easily wrapped around his finger. "hmm..." there was a playful tone to her voice as she pretended to give some thought to what activities they could do that day. "a stroll through the city does sound tempting, but the idea of spending the whole day in bed with you sounds a lot more tempting." she turned until her back was against the railing, both of her hands settled on his chest as she leaned her entire frame into his. "what do you want to do? a stroll through the city or me?" she teased.
Jamie would admit that it felt a little surreal to him that he and Alycia were now officially a couple, something that he'd wanted to happen for a while but he never thought would. The fact that she had the same feelings for him that he had for her made him feel like he was on top of the world, and there was a part of him that couldn't help but feel a little sad he hadn't said something sooner. They could have been together for a while now had he just gotten the nerve to put himself out there, to tell her what he was feeling. But that didn't matter now, they were together, and Jamie was going to enjoy every second of it, but he was also going to make sure to make up for lost time, because he wanted to spoil her as her boyfriend, not just her best friend.
They had left Prague after his convention was over, and they were now in the UK, and while he was getting prepared for filming, he still wanted to make sure to make time for him and Alycia to do things together. Even though she had told him that she would be happy staying in the small hotel room with him that the studio had booked, he'd still managed to talk the studio into giving him a little bit of an upgrade and at least getting a suite for them so they had a little more room together. It was a gorgeous room, and Jamie felt pretty lucky that it had a lovely balcony, which was where Alycia was right now, and Jamie couldn't help but smile as he watched her from the room. She was so beautiful, and he couldn't help but feel a little giddy in that moment that she was his.
Walking out to the balcony, Jamie approached Alycia and wrapped his arms around her from behind and dipped his head down to press a kiss against her neck. He looked at the view for a moment, wondering what she'd been watching before he'd gotten there, before speaking. "So, how do you want to spend the day today? I have the whole day to focus on you. Do you want to go explore the city for a little while? Maybe find another haunted adventure? Or do you want to stay in the hotel for a while and go back to bed?" He asked the last part in a more teasing tone than anything, but had she picked going back to bed, Jamie would be all for that, of course, because he couldn't get enough of Alycia, and he was pretty sure she knew that. @alyvas
