This is the final chapter! So many people prompted this one throughout my writing of this, but I always planned for it to be the 'finale' so I hope it's worth the wait :) Writing this story for you readers has been incredible and the feedback has blown me away! I can't believe we're at the end and I am sad to see it go, but I will definitely continue to post Troigan one-shots on here and my tumblr for all those who are interested in reading more of our favourite pair of best friends :)
THIS CHAPTER IS RATED M. It doesn't get too graphic, but it is mature content, so be sure you're of age and following fanfiction's rules. It may be fine, but I don't want to disrespect them either or misinform the younger crowd on here.
Much love to you all xo
This by no means reflects the true thoughts/feelings of Troian Bellisario or Keegan Allen. No disrespect meant to anyone, clearly a work of fiction.
3x12
The Spoby "love" scene was much anticipated by both the fans and the cast of the show. Keegan was excited and terrified; his feelings for Troian had only amplified the last few months. Since the beginning of season three, he had been gradually losing control of his ability to hold back when it came to their make-out scenes. Now he was being instructed to act out a romantic sex scene with her. It was supposed to be slow and gentle and beautiful because it was Troian's character's first time and his character's first time that really counted.
He wasn't sure if he could hold back anymore. He hadn't been given the opportunity for weeks to be able to touch her that way. The extra intense scene would only test his already wavering strength more. He wanted her this way and it was like having a sip of whisky for an alcoholic. The more he had, the more he craved it. It was like the ultimate tease to be this way with her and then have to shut it off later.
The scene started off with them making out in the red chair, so Keegan desperately hoped he could keep it together until they at least got to the bed.
Troian was currently in his lap in said chair and they weren't speaking much. Ron had made sure that there was only the most necessary crew members present for this scene. He wanted the scene to come out as intimate and beautiful as possible and that wouldn't work with everyone hanging around laughing and having a good time.
Noticing they were about to start filming, Troian got more comfortable in their straddling position. She leaned her forehead against his, closing her eyes as they both took a moment to get their heads in the right frame of mind.
Keegan held his hands on her waist, breathing in the familiar scent of her apple shampoo. It reminded him of their first kiss all of those months ago. She had come to set that morning, casual as ever, snacking on an apple while he tried not to pass out from anxiety. Everything had gone smoothly of course, but it had been Keegan's first on-screen kiss ever so he had been nervous as hell. Thankfully, Troian had managed to talk him down and their couple's fan-base had taken off.
They had been given directions previously, but Ron checked that they were still on board and the scene began.
As soon as her mouth met his, he realized how much he had missed this. Before their brief kiss earlier that day, in the Spoby reunion in the town street, he hadn't kissed her in months. He had been absent the last three episodes, and the previous two he had starred in they hadn't done more than hug briefly. Even with the kiss earlier, that had been simple and light, just a moment of indulgence. These kisses they were exchanging now were unbridled and passionate, evidence of what was to come moments later on the bed not even five feet from them.
Keegan couldn't help but get lost in her a little, feeling her mirroring enthusiasm. His hands didn't know where to rest on her, fighting between pulling her closer and sitting still. Meanwhile hers clasped at the nape of his neck before sliding down either side, unsure of where to hold onto. They broke apart as scripted, breathing heavily, both sort of flirting with the idea of diving forward again but knowing they were supposed to separate at some point. His heart was still beating hard against his ribs when her hand slid down to grip the v of his t-shirt and he vaguely remembered he had a line somewhere in here.
"Are you sure?" he asked, more huskily than he meant to. He could feel her breath on his mouth they were still so close, her eyes completely focused on his lips. It was taking far too much self-control not to pick up where they left off before she could get her line out.
Thankfully, she nodded. "Yes." she whispered, lurching forwards to cover his mouth with hers, her arms winding around his neck as he lifted her with ease. They didn't separate their kissing at first as he took the few steps until they broke apart to smile happily at each other. Her eyes were that warm buttery brown they became when she was really happy and he briefly wondered if Troian was seriously that talented as an actor that she could do that on command.
As laid out on the script, Keegan began carrying Troian to the bed. He was really strong and she was tiny so it wasn't really an issue.
Until he tripped over his own feet and stumbled, knocking them both over onto the soft mattress.
Naturally, the two of them lost it laughing with the rest of the crew.
"That was very smooth, Keegan. I think we should keep that, Ron." she called to the director as she buried her laughs in Keegan's shoulder, the intimate mood completely shattered now.
"I'll think about it." he called back amusedly.
Keegan adjusted himself so he wasn't crushing the woman underneath him. "I'm so sorry." he said through his laughs, unable to help himself from chuckling at his own clumsiness.
She raised her eyebrows at him. "Your sincerity is touching." she teased.
Before he could retort, Ron interrupted them.
"All right, let's get back in the moment." he said, rolling his eyes at the pair of them.
Keegan helped Troian back up and they restarted the scene.
Normally when Keegan and Troian were scheduled on set together, laughter and chatter could be guaranteed every time the director yelled cut. They were too close and had far too much fun with each other in order to behave when in the same room together. While some actors found it weird to think of joking around after a kissing scene, Troian and Keegan often highfived or did something equally ridiculous.
They got to the same part and it went much more smoothly. Troian removed his shirt like scripted but when they met each other's eyes, they both cracked up again.
Ron called cut, and Keegan pounced on Troian on the bed in annoyance. He released his tickling hands on her as she giggled underneath him.
"I'm sorry! But the victorious look in your eyes that you didn't screw up was hilarious!" she squealed, trying to shove off his hands, but he was laughing into her now.
"You're supposed to be the professional one here, missy." he teased.
She rolled her eyes as she suddenly flipped them over and straddled him so he was trapped underneath her. "That's only because you say that about me in every single interview and now I have a reputation to uphold." she replied, but she was smiling sincerely and he knew she truly appreciated his words.
He was stronger than her so he easily switched the power-holding back so she was pinned under him. "Argue all you want, but when I want to pin you down and compliment you, I'm going to do it." he countered, his voice lowering unintentionally as he began to understand the compromising position they were in.
She licked her lips without realizing, smiling coyly as she caught on that he was referencing their podcast from almost two years previous. He had always been good at making her blush with his overly kind but genuine words. She knew he saw her in such an incredible light, one she felt she didn't deserve. But around him, she couldn't help but believe it.
She headbutted his forehead affectionately, staring deep into those warm blue eyes of his. She had missed this so much. She hadn't seen him much while he had been on his mini hiatus and she consciously missed him every day they were apart.
His hold on her waist grew tenderer and he absent-mindedly stroked her sides gently as he smiled back at his favorite person in the world.
"Can we run the scene again guys?" Ron asked, now that things on his end were settled, interrupting the sweet moment.
Realizing they had been flirtatiously wrestling in front of the entire crew for the past few minutes, both actors quickly separated, correcting their throats awkwardly.
As they walked back to their marks, Troian smirked at him.
"Don't laugh in my mouth." she warned jokingly and he had to bite the inside of his cheek to pull himself together.
They finally got control of themselves and the scene progressed. It was interesting how things on set had gone from light-hearted and chatty to quiet and mellow so fast. It happened almost instantaneously when the pair had managed to get to the headboard.
With filming, you always have to do everything multiple times, even if you did it perfectly. So for the sixth time, Keegan placed her gracefully on the end of the bed in front of him, leaning down to kiss her once as she got situated before they started the inevitable undressing. It was so hard to keep track of what they had gone through exactly before, but he was trying his damn hardest.
Like the few times before, both sets of hands were fighting gently to get his t-shirt off of him. Once removed, he threw it to his left, his eyes closing in bliss as she kissed his chest and then trailed up to his pulse point. Her lips against his most sensitive spot, that only she always seemed to find, was driving him wild and he was desperate to meet their lips again, his hands running up her arms to do just that.
Troian seemed to have her head since she pulled back, centimeters from another kiss, and began sliding herself back towards the headboard. The feel of her breath touching his mouth before she wrenched herself out of his grasp was like that sip of whisky. Knowing the scene must go on, he crawled after her, smiling at her on cue, wondering if she noticed his distractedness. He knew a part of him wanted to dive right into it, but he also wanted to savor this, be as gentle as Toby would be with Spencer. That's who he was supposed to be channeling here after all. He couldn't help but smile genuinely back at her as he slowly got himself comfortable on either side of her leg. Licking his lips unconsciously, he leaned closer and waited for her to lean up the distance. Their lips met in another sweet kiss before he pulled back on mark.
Her eyes were completely on his hands when he began unbuttoning her blouse, pushing it off her shoulders and it was Troian who pushed their kissing to a new level when she threw herself up to meet him, pulling him down backwards with her as she slipped the shirt completely off. He gently cradled her back into the pillows, kissing her repeatedly, wondering when on earth he had gotten so lucky that this was considered his job.
He gradually lowered his body closer to hers so they were completely aligned as their tender but hot kissing continued, switching to lean on his side so she wasn't absorbing all of his body weight. She still had a tank top and pants on but the sensation of her thinly clothed toned abdomen against his bare one was making his brain turn to mush. Her hand slid slowly down to grip his hip as he cupped her face in his hands. He couldn't control his need to be closer to her, his kisses growing harder and more passionate. She easily matched his fire.
This time around, Keegan had completely forgotten about the cameras circling around, the people in the room. It was dead silent except for their whispering breaths and brushing lips. His eyes were closed so his other senses were hyperaware and the only thing they were picking up on was the woman he was currently entangled with.
There was something different about this time though; maybe it was because it had been a while since they had seen each other, maybe it was the fact that it was such a crucial and intimate scene or maybe it was because he knew things after this episode would change dramatically for their couple, but things felt different this time. Normally they'd be getting a lot more direction on how to kiss or what angle they want for the shot but they seemed to have completely free reign here.
Ron had been right to make it an exclusive filming. Keegan didn't think they could make it this authentic without the atmosphere they had now. The lighting was soft and everyone was silent and he swore it was just him and Troian here, the intimacy nearly choking him up with how bad he wanted it to be real. He wished he could have her like this. Even though it was acting, at least her side of it, he found her beauty in these scenes even more breathtaking. It was in the way she became so gentle and soft, her sharp wit and overzealous intelligence left at the door as she just transformed from an old soul into a warm lover. He wished he could experience her that way in reality, to see if she was truly that carefree or if it was just another piece of her acting masterpiece, but life restricted his dreams.
"Cut. Excellent work you two." Ron called, turning to Marlene, the writer of the episode, to discuss the technical stuff.
Keegan broke away from Troian, casting his eyes at the bed as he caught his breath. He knew if he met her eyes she'd see how very dark they must be and she'd know where his mind had gone.
He felt soft hands wrap around his middle and he pulled his co-star into a long hug, holding her much like earlier. In scenes of this nature, it was better they didn't talk. It might break the spell. They had been acting like lovers for almost two years now but this was their most intimate scene to date as it was Spencer and Toby's first time. He knew that she was feeling the same as him; they wanted it to be perfect.
They ended up only running the scene another couple times before moving on. Keegan was finding it harder to control himself from pulling Troian into more kisses during their breaks so he was grateful when they were instructed to separate to get changed into their under-the-sheets-attire.
Troian had to wear a nude strapless bra and just some spandex shorts so her clothing wouldn't show through the sheets. He was fine to be shirtless as he had been before but he changed into boxer brief-type shorts so he too appeared to be naked underneath the barrier.
Climbing back on the bed and awaiting the rest of the crew to be ready, Keegan suddenly felt his nerves increase tenfold. As soon as the assistants stopped flittering around them, Troian squeezed his hand.
"Hey. It's just you and me, okay?" she told him gently, always perceptive of his emotions.
He nodded but couldn't think of a proper response. He situated himself above her more comfortably, accidentally wedging a bit of the sheets between their lower halves.
Almost maternally, she twirled a bit of his messy hair across his forehead in her fingers. The look in her eyes as she watched her own motions was something he hadn't remembered really seeing before. Something big was going on in that brain of hers. He wished he could ask, but he had a feeling it was pretty personal and they were about to start filming again.
She finally met his eyes and smiled. Her beauty was breathtaking. He felt like he had just been shot in the heart.
A sudden craving came over him and he knew exactly what words he had been missing before. "Troian, I know this is crazy and completely stupid timing, but I l-"
"Okay, let's roll it!" Ron called at the single worst moment in history and Keegan nearly groaned in annoyance.
Troian was watching her co-star in curiosity and wonder, her eyes wide with surprise as she began to piece together what he might have been about to say.
It was right before their lips met that Keegan decided if he couldn't tell her right now, he would damn well show her.
He lunged forward to capture her lips in his, almost catching her off-guard, but the bruising kiss soon transformed into melting. She eagerly granted his seeking tongue entrance and groaned in pleasure as it ran along the roof of her mouth and continued exploring the hidden depths.
Troian's concealed right hand slid down his side and impatiently pushed away the unintended blanket barrier between them. She felt Keegan's confusion in his kiss alone and it sort of alarmed her that she could read his emotions so easily when their mouths were attached; especially because they weren't even a formal couple.
He broke away for air and moved to press kisses across her cheek and down her neck.
Her free hand rose to tangle in his hair, anchoring him there, encouraging his movements. His lips on her neck always drove her insane. His lips were so soft and warm, always making her feel worshipped.
She moved her lips to beside his ear as her fingers still worked at untangling the sheet separating them. "I want to feel you." she explained in a murmur so only he could hear.
The confession blindsided him. He felt a swell of emotions, surprised to find himself blinking back tears before switching to the other side of her neck to continue his loving trail with more vigor.
Their hips had been following the general motion, but they weren't perfectly aligned because of the way they had been positioned by the crew earlier. But when Keegan felt only the thin material of underwear between them, he felt his eyes roll back into his head.
He dove his face further into her collarbone and moaned softly as she grinded slowly against him. "Oh god, Troian…"
There was no way in hell she couldn't feel his firming anatomy. Rather than politely separate them like he might have expected, she only grinded into him deeper. His body responded on its own, craving the friction she was providing.
He heard her breath hitch as he rubbed against her most sensitive area. He did it again, deliberately, and she let out a breathy sigh at the sensation.
His own pleasure suddenly came second to him. He didn't know what was happening, or what this all meant, but all he knew was if this was his only opportunity to make her feel as good as possible, he was going to give it his all.
Sneakily his hand slid under her back and teased the back of her bra until the clasp released.
Troian seemed to understand what his plan was since she suddenly pulled his mouth back to hers as his hand swung around to begin stroking her exposed-beneath-the-sheets flesh.
Feeling his strong hand caressing her bare breast caused her to whimper openly into his mouth. He continued to roll his pelvis into hers at a steady rhythm, releasing her mouth for air and beginning to press open-mouthed kisses down her neck again.
Troian felt the warmth and beauty of the scene begin to seep into her skin. Her eyes were closed as Keegan's body moved against hers, harmonizing perfectly. They always had this natural rhythm between them, both romantically onscreen and platonically off-screen. They moved like magnets, complementing each other in the most natural of ways. Even when they kissed for the first time, it had been like they had been kissing for years but with all of the sparks of a first kiss.
If she had been able to consciously remember that there were others present in the room, she probably wouldn't have let her body build itself up for a release. But Keegan's tender but heated touch was causing the pleasure to begin overcoming her other senses.
Keegan felt her body begin quivering underneath his and instantly understood what was about to happen. He grinded harder against her, keeping the same rhythm, and pulled back to look her in the eyes to be sure she wanted him to follow through with getting her to reach her high.
The intense gaze between them, his full of love and adoration and hers full of tears of utter trust and passion, caused both of their hearts to stop. He dropped his mouth to hers again and with one last thrust she came undone.
She was completely dignified about it; there was no dramatic calling of his name. She was silent except for a soft moan as her body tensed and shook to ride out the wave. She simply pulled his lips more fully on hers when she was finished, her body relaxing further into the blankets.
He tenderly wiped a tear from her right eye when he cupped her face to kiss her mouth repeatedly. He was almost thanking her with the way he was kissing her, grateful for the opportunity to provide her that kind of pleasure and for being able to witness such an incredible sight. He felt cheesy even thinking that, but he couldn't help himself. There was nothing he wouldn't do to be with this woman- that much was clear now.
Ron called cut and they broke apart with difficulty.
Their director didn't say anything further to them and turned to speak with a couple of the others.
Troian leaned her face into Keegan's neck, blushing a little at the fact that the crew may have clued in to what had just gone down. They were being pretty subtle about everything else, the majority of it going on underneath the sheets and away from prying eyes, but even so.
She tilted her head up to place a kiss next to his ear. "I love you." she whispered.
Keegan closed his eyes, not sure how she meant that. Maybe she just wanted a release and figured now was as good a time as any? Okay, probably not. Maybe she meant as friends even though they just took things to a new level. Maybe she meant what he desperately hoped with every fiber in his being- that she felt the same way about him as he felt about her.
He nuzzled into her neck in return. "I'm so irrevocably in love with you." he confessed against her warm skin.
He was done with hiding it. He was done with pretending his feelings weren't there. He was done with keeping the truth from her when it was something he wanted to scream from the rooftops and the highest mountain. He didn't care what happened now. He couldn't keep that inside anymore. He needed her to know.
Her breathing hitched and he felt his stomach drop. Oh god, he did care. What if she rejected him? Could he handle looking her in the face every day after that kind of humiliation?
Not caring who was watching, she pulled him into a long kiss. They were both breathless when she pulled away.
"It's about damn time." she tried to say with more conviction than her wheezing, tearful words would allow.
Keegan grinned and flipped them over so she was on top of him, still well covered and kissed her until they were breathless once more. He stroked her face lovingly when he pulled back, unable to believe his luck.
He knew there was still a lot of things to work out, and a lot of explaining to be done, but right now he felt on top of the world.
"Um, guys?" Ron asked tentatively, sounding amused.
Both Troian and Keegan finally clued in to the fact that they would have to save their excitement for later.
Ron had a knowing glint in his eye but simply smiled. "Mind if we run it again?"
Keegan nearly grinned. "Aye aye, captain."
Troian giggled at him as he flipped them back into their previous filming position. She couldn't remember the last time she had seen him this happy.
Hell, she couldn't remember the last time she had felt this happy herself as she dragged the love of her life's mouth back to hers.
