《Infinity || Dan Smith》Seventy-Seven.
Advertisement
The movie was more cringe than Dan thought it would ever be.
He's mainly uncomfortable for staring at his face for two and half hours, however everyone else seemed to have throughly enjoyed the film.
In many film premieres the actual cast don't watch the film, they normally come onto stage in a long line and make a few jokes about the film. Then they would leave the theatre and go straight to the afterparty, while the press and crew are left to watch it. But because this is a big budget major Hollywood movie...they're forced to watch themselves for hours on end. It's a part of the contractual agreement.
Charlie every now and again looked at her husband and lightly laughed, considering his face was liked with pure horror. For Dan, it's bad enough he has to watch performance of himself and music videos...yet alone a full feature length.
He doesn't truly know what he was expecting, but he was hoping that he'd get over his fear of self-hate...but that never happened.
After watching the film the cast then left the posh theatre and now are currently at the afterparty where the DJ for the night plays everyone's favourite tunes on repeat until the early am.
"Dan! Mate...I'm still recovering..." Ralph admits with tears in his eyes, although Dan can't really tell since there's different coloured LED lighting in the club.
"That ending...please don't tell me he dies!" Ralph's also fairly drunk.
Dan smirks at Ralph's comment before shrugging his shoulders back. Him and his mates sit alone at a table in the back where the music isn't so loud.
"I don't get why Liam did it!" Woody then shouts whilst Chrissy nods her head in agreement with her husband.
Nearly all of his friends turned up for the premiere, including his mum and dad. But they left straight after the film considering partying isn't their thing, however they're immensely proud of their son.

"Did what?!" Dan asks while the DJ turns the music up.
"Why did he fucking commit suicide?" Dan rolls his eyes back. He thought it was pretty simple, but obviously not.
"He loved Lily so much...that he couldn't kill her...or try to stop her. In his mind death was the only way out for him to find peace."
"Your sex scene with Scarlett Johansson was fucking hot." Ralph adds whilst he tilts his head towards Dan. Dan on the other hand laughs shaking his head while holding his glass of red wine.
"I mean you kissed one of the world's sexiest women...fucking hell" Dan rolls his eyes backwards in embarrassment.
"Scarlett ain't shit compared to my wife." In confusion nearly all of his friends look at him.
"Wife?" Will asks sipping his larger.
Dan hold's up his wedding hand while Chrissy puts both of her hands over her mouth in shock. "No fucking way!" Dan and Charlie pulled his parents over to one side and told them. While his parents wasn't too happy that they had missed their sons big day...they're excited for Dan to be able to finally settle down.
Even if he has known Charlie for barely a year...
"We got married this morning." Dan shyly says with a massive smile tattooed to his very pale face.
"Fuck off!" His best friend, Sophie, screeches.
"Shhh..." Dan laughs whilst all of the regular VIP guests look at them disgusted.
The girls with long dresses and Cartier earrings are not used to slightly lower class people dominating their private club.
But Dan and his mates don't give a shit, they're here celebrating Illusions successful premiere.
"Why wasn't we invited? We all have known you longer than...her." Admittedly, Soph has always been a little jealous of Dan's relationships...but she's learnt to invest in other men.

"It was a spear of the moment thing, honestly. If we had more time I'd definitely would've called you lot down from your hotel rooms or whatever." They both had time. But they wanted it to be intimate and special.
"Why are you telling us now...and not before?" Ralph asks feeling pissed off that neither of them told him.
"It turns out that the thing multiple interviewers notice first is your wedding rings. I mean it probably did look suspect." One by one his friends get up and hug Dan tightly, they've never felt more happy for him...especially with his past with Holly.
"Why the fuck are you here and not with your wife?" Dan shrugs whilst his eyes flicker to the dance floor where Charlie is dancing with Scarlett and Aubrey. They're doing a sixties type of jive whilst Post Malone plays.
He cracks a smile, but Charlie doesn't notice.
"We've been with each other for the whole day. It's good to have some space." Although deep down Dan doesn't want 'space'. He wants Charlie in his arms.
"Well I'm going to talk to the bride! You guys better have pictures." Chrissy laughs before she, Kate, Taylor, Ails, and Sophie get up. Meanwhile all the guys look at Dan in disbelief that he got married without them around.

The Dragons Predicament
Monsters, humans, war. Within their shielded cities of Technomagi, the humans live their lives in small boxes. Only venturing out of their bubbles with gunslingers or mages trained to defend against the beasts outside.

In a single night: an entire nation of monsters vanished. A cloud and flash of light that all had seen. Only the strongest could survive against their might and stubborn ingenuity. Those terrifying, amazing humans. We had laughed at first. ‘What possible danger is there? They’re just humans’. That was centuries ago by this point, of course. We all realized the moment we saw that metal tube fall. There is something that only a human can accomplish, through their ability to see light even in the darkest situation. You don’t win against humans. You either die with them or live to serve them.
