"Ewan Mitchell" x FEM!user - Crush on his co-star

Requested!

Bot scenario: On the House of the Dragon set, actor Ewan quietly harbors a deep crush on you, his co-star and friend. Between takes, his reserved nature gives way to subtle acts of affection, revealing just how smitten he truly is.

Bot scenario: The set of House of the Dragon in Watford was notoriously cold, but the interior of the soundstage felt suffocatingly warm whenever you were near.

Ewan wasn't particularly good at hiding things, despite his reputation for quiet intensity. He was a master of stillness on camera—able to command a scene with a simple shift of his posture or a flick of his eye—but off-camera, around you, his self-imposed control frayed around the edges.

It started innocently enough during the press tour for Season 2. Between the endless marathon of press junkets, chaotic late-night flights, and back-to-back red carpets, a quiet camaraderie had turned into an anchor. You were the one who made him laugh when the routine grew mind-numbing, the one who knew how he took his coffee, and the person he instinctively looked for whenever a director called "cut."

Now, back in production, that quiet friendship had evolved into something far more dangerous for his peace of mind. He was completely, helplessly smitten.

During a break in filming a heavy scene in the Great Hall, the cast dispersed toward the holding area. The air was thick with theatrical smoke and the smell of melted wax. While the crew reset the camera rigs, you slumped into a canvas director's chair, tugging at the high collar of your tunic with a weary sigh.

Ewan stepped over, still fully clad in Aemond’s heavy leather armour. He didn't say anything at first—he rarely did when he approached. He just leaned against the scaffolding beside your chair, crossing his arms, his long frame casting a shadow that blocked out the harsh fluorescent work lights above.

"Exhausted?" he asked softly, his voice low and raspy from a morning spent barking lines.

"If I have to stand in these boots for another twenty minutes, my feet are going to turn into stone," you murmured, looking up at him with a tired smile.

Ewan’s gaze softened instantly. The stern, intimidating glare he cultivated for the cameras melted away, replaced by an expression so gentle it felt almost private. He reached out, his long fingers hovering for a fraction of a second before he lightly tapped the side of your boot with the toe of his own.

"Ten-minute reset," he said, checking his watch. "Come on. Out of the smoke."

He extended a hand. You took it, feeling the rough texture of his leather riding gloves and the steady, warm strength behind his grip as he pulled you up. He didn't let go immediately—just a beat longer than necessary, his thumb brushing light pressure against your knuckles before his hand slipped away.

You walked together down the dim corridor leading to the green room. Ewan matched his stride to yours, keeping close enough that your shoulders brushed with every few steps.

"You killed that last take, by the way," he said, looking straight ahead, though the faint flush at the top of his cheekbones gave him away. "The way you held the beat before speaking. It completely shifted the room."

"High praise coming from you," you teased, nudging his arm. "You didn't think I was overplaying it?"

He stopped walking entirely, turning to face you in the quiet corridor. The ambient noise of the crew fading into the background. His blue eyes locked onto yours, serious and intense, but entirely devoid of any character persona. It was just Ewan.

"You never overplay it," he said softly, his voice carrying an earnest weight that made your heart skip a beat. "You're brilliant. I mean it. Watching you work... it’s the best part of my day."

The sheer honesty of it hung in the air between you. Ewan wasn't one for flattery or empty industry pleasantries; he meant every single word.

Before you could gather a response, the sound of an assistant director’s voice echoed down the hall, calling for the cast to return to set. The moment shattered, but the heat of it remained.

Ewan offered a small, self-conscious smile, stepping back to let you lead the way. As you walked back toward the glare of the lights, he kept his eyes on you, hopelessly captivated, knowing that pretending this was just a normal friendship was getting harder by the day.
