No warnings
Summary :Its your first convention and you get to met Richard, absolutely nervous but when you get to talk to him he wants to know more about you instead than the other way around.
Alright first con ever, you were exited to say the least. You were packing your last outfits and placed the bags in front of the door so you wouldn’t forget them. Two whole days of Vegas and your absolute favorite actors! You paid for al the panels and a signature from Richard.
While on the plane you were overthinking what you would say to him while he was signing. Just thinking about it made you nervous. The plane finally landed and there was already a car waiting to pick you up and bring you to your hotel, in the evening you would wander trough the city. You hoped that you could bump into one of the actors of the show but you weren’t so lucky that night. You decided to go to the hotel early to be ready for the first day of the con. You barely slept and got up at five thirty to get ready.
After the hilarious panel of Jensen and misha it was time for your autograph from rich, there was an enormous line but you didn’t care you got to see your favorite character in real life. The moment was there and Richard greeted you with a smile.
‘so where do you want it?’ he looked up and stared into your eyes. For a moment you couldn’t speak out of excitement but you finally managed to say something.
‘just on my shirt please’ you said while holding it up.
‘sure thing, what’s your name?’ he grabbed his marker and opened the cap
‘alright, y/n that’s a pretty name! but you aren’t really talker are you? Most people here start screaming they love me and I cant even come trough it to ask their name’ he started laughing by his own remark.
‘well that’s because I don’t really know you, I love the character Gabriel on the show but I don’t know you in person so I wont know if I love you’ shocked by your own honesty you looked down to your feet to avoid eye contact. What you couldn’t see was that Richard was intrigued by your answer.
‘well you are kinda right, never thought about it that way to be honest’ he glanced past you to the line of fans who grew a little impatient. They wanted to speak with their idol and get an autograph as well.
‘are you coming to my panel later? Rob will be there and it is going to be fun! ‘he said with a wide grin.
‘well yeah of course Ill be there! but my seat is way in the back, everything was expensive enough you know’ you looked up again and saw that he was thinking about something.
‘okay give me your last name and ill take care of it for you’ he hold up the marker again for you to write your last name.
‘why would you do that for me?’ you were surprised and a little confused by his kindness. You noticed that a lot of people were asking attention of the actors and you couldn’t wrap your head around the fact that Richard would go trough so much trouble just to have you upfront at his panel. You leaned fore ward and wrote your last name on a piece of paper that rich had grabbed for you.
‘I will, and to be honest just because I want to get to know you a little better too! But I really have to keep going now, fans are waiting and I have to get ready for the panel. It was nice talking to you and I will see you there.’ he smile once more and then stretched his arm out for the person behind you who wanted to get her hat sighed.
After walking around for a bit you headed towards the panel of Richard, you could see the stage and that a guy with a crew shirt on was looking into the incoming crowd. You decided to walk past him to see if he had anything to do with rich his promise. And indeed when you came closer the man asked for your id to see your name.
‘yeah we got her, I'm going to take her to her seat now’ he spoke trough a mobile phone. He gestured while talking to follow him. When you got to your seat you saw that there was apiece of paper folded over the seat with your name on it. When you turned around to that the man that had brought you there you noticed that he had a pass in his hands.
‘here Mr. Speight jr. wanted me to give you these as well. Don’t lose it you wont get another’ he turned around and walked away, there were more people and more seats to be filled.
You turned the pass over and saw that it were backstage tickets. Oh my firkin god you thought to your self. This cant be happening! This was the most amazing happening in your life. Your thoughts were broken by the voice of Richard on the stage.
‘are you having a good time?!’ he enthusiastically screamed trough the microphone
The whole crowd followed his lead and yelled yes! You were excitingly joining and having a blast.
‘alright I like the spirit in here! I want to start off with something that happened today. A fan came up to me and said she didn’t love me. Her name is y/n. what do you think about that?!’ he shouted trough the crowd. The whole room started awing and booing, you felt like the earth was crumbling underneath you. But Richard made a comeback from his words.
‘yeah I know it sounds bad right? That was my first thought as well! But she made me think about it, you guys all love Gabriel or other characters I played right?’ once again the whole crowd started clapping an wooing.
‘hell yeah! But how many know me? Like what I do in the time I am not in front of a camera?’ the crowd went silent and were carefully listening to every word he ha to say.
‘ so I figured you don’t know me really well but I don’t know you at all, I would like to ask you guys some questions before I start this panel with rob. Are you guys in to that?’ the people started yelling again and when it turned silent rich started asking all kinds of questions. His eyes landed on you.
‘and finally y/n, would you care to join me and some of the crew members backstage? I would like you to get to know me and maybe after tonight you will love me as much as these lovely people’ all the eyes were on you now and the only thing that came to mind was giving a nod to Richard. You literally lost the ability to speak at this point.
Rob came to he stage and started taking questions from the audience with rich, after the panel Richard looked in your direction and pointed next to the stage. You walked trough the crowd towards it and went after the crew.
You could see mark, misha and of course rich standing and talking to each other. You carefully walked over so he would spot you. He turned around and there was a big smile.
‘y/n! come on ill introduce you and tell you why I invited you’ you nodded and stepped for ward.
‘well guys this is y/n, the person I told you about from the autographs.
Mark looked a you and laughed, he held his hand towards you and you took it.
‘nice to see you, you shook rich up pretty good with your opinion.’ He said while turning to rich in a play full manner.
‘I do my best ’you said, you finally felt more comftable around your idols from the show.
Rich grabbed you by your shoulder and leaded you to the table were all the bottles of water and other beverages were on.
‘I would like to get to know you, and I am all done for tonight. So I was wondering if you would like to go to a bar with me and a couple of others ?’ he looked hopeful at you waiting for an answer.
‘id love to! But first I want to know about you. I was the first to start it so you have to tell me things, and then maybe ill tell you about me’. You smiled at Richard and because of the amazing night you had ahead of you.
‘that’s a deal!’ and that said he took your arm. Together with other cast members you headed to town for the best night of your life.
