Across The World Dacre Montgomery X Reader

i kinda wrote this on a whim, so i’m not sure how good it is tbh be ready for some so much fluff you drown though!

He had called me earlier that day, promising me that he would at least be home for a few days before he had to go back on set and film a couple more episodes. He promised me.

And yet, I was standing in the large kitchen by myself, a plate of food sitting in front of where I was. The pork had gone cold already, not even cut into as I waited for him to walk inside the door. When the clock struck eight, I knew he wasn't going to be home that night. I picked up my plate and set it inside the microwave, I hadn't had an appetite whatsoever. The thought of eating turned my stomach more than anything. Putting on a pair of sweatpants and one of his shirts I crawled into the bed we shared. I understood why he was gone so often, he was filming constantly and had to be almost across the country for at least four months. Except it was going on seven, and I wanted nothing more than to hold him in my arms. No phone calls, no texts, nothing from him. They were all from Sadie, and Millie. I tried not to let how I was feeling bleed into the texts, they had bigger things to worry about than me crying over my boyfriend.

I rubbed my eyes roughly and rolled onto my side, the clock ticked by quietly. The hours flying by as I laid awake, waiting for him to arrive. Except by four am there was nothing, he still wasn't home and I hadn't heard from anyone else. They were probably all sleeping like normal people do, like I should've done hours ago. I couldn't help but get my hopes up, he had been talking about this for weeks. And it was another promise broken. I knew I couldn't afford to live by myself if we were to break up, his rent cost more than my entire tuition at community college. When the clock read five I gave up and relaxed into the sheets. I couldn't cry over spilt milk any longer, it wasn't going to do me any good.

The sun was shining high in the sky when I woke up, I groaned and rolled over pulling the blanket above my head. I hated getting up early when I hadn't slept well the night before, except something was stopping me. It was the weight of something on the blanket that prevented me from pulling it over my head entirely. I sat up roughly and looked over at my boyfriend who sleeping soundly, his hair a tousled mess as he groaned. All I could feel was anger, angry that he hadn't even called to warn me he was going to be so late, or that he was even bothering to come home. Pulling the blanket from my body I stood up, stomping into the bathroom before slamming the door shut. Tears were streaming down my cheeks in small rivers. You're okay, you don't need to cry over this. The words were like a mantra in my head.

“Y/N? Are you okay” Dacre's voice was quiet, sleep still heavy in his voice.

“Yeah, I'm fine” I wiped my eyes and walked over to the sink, quickly splashing some water on my face to hide the tears.

“Did I wake you? I didn't mean to” He yawned loudly and leaned against the closed door. At least I could get some privacy.

“No, the sun woke me up” It was true, the sun was always shining in the damn window I faced.

“You coming back to bed, or am I making breakfast?” His voice sent shivers down my spine. I wanted to yell at him and be angry. But I couldn't.

“Bed” I looked up at myself and frowned, my eyes were red and puffy. He was going to know something was wrong almost immediately.

“I'll see you there babe” Dacre's voice trailed off as he headed back to the bed.

I had to bite my tongue to keep the retort in, we always fought when he came home late. Or didn't come home at all and didn't bother to call me. There were times Joe would call me to tell me that he had passed out in his trailer from exhaustion and that's why he didn't call. How could I be mad at him then? He was doing everything he could to work through this. But right now was different, I wasn't hearing from him, and I wasn't seeing him for weeks, or even months at a time. When I opened the door Dacre was curled up under the sheet. His breathing slow and deep. He had fallen back asleep. I frowned slightly and walked over to the bed, crawling in gently as to not wake him. As much as I wanted to be angry with him for not calling, or telling me anything. I couldn't be. He was working so that him and I could have a comfortable life together.

It always made me feel bad, he refused to let me work. Saying that if he ever had to travel for a show, or film that he was going to take me with. Of course I wasn't allowed to go for stranger things, he said it was going to be a surprise when I saw how the season came out. Although Millie and Sadie were determined to give me play by plays of the show. Saying that they missed me and wished I had gone with Dacre to the sets. I'd explain to them that it wasn't really my choice on the matter of staying home. I smiled softly as I remembered how much Millie pouted during a face time call. She was begging Dacre to let me come with, he just told her a stern no and walked off to pack.

I loved the cast, they treated me as if I was family. And then there's Dacre, who made it his mission to piss me off in the best way possible. I had once threatened that if he took his characters bad attitude home he'd be sleeping on the couch for a month. That led to a dozen roses, and the best sex either of us ever had.

“Y'know, it's rude to stare when someone's sleeping” Dacre's eyes were bright as he smiled, I couldn't help but smile at him.

“I was daydreaming babe, don't get a swelled head” I laughed at the fake pout that crossed his face. He was such a faker at times.

“I always have a swelled head around you” He leaned up on his arm and kissed my cheek gently. Blush covered my cheeks.

“That's because you've been hanging around Joe too much” I said rubbing my fingers along the stubble on his cheeks.

“He does it for everyone babe” He threw his arm over my stomach and laid back down with a sigh.

“Mmm, I'm sure” I mumbled laying back on the bed.

It was nice, not having to be anywhere important for the day. No interviews for Dacre to worry about for once. I had planned on meeting up with Natalia and Millie but with the hopes of Dacre being home, I wanted nothing more than to relax. And now he was finally here, in our bed where he belonged.

“I have one more thing to shoot before I can come home for a while” His voice was muffled by the pillow beneath his head, but I heard the words clear as day.

“How long is that gonna take?” I asked nervously, I couldn't go another two months without him.

“Should only be a week, two at tops” He curled himself into my side, gripping onto the shirt I wore.

“At least try and call when you're gone this time please” I ran my fingers slowly through his hair and smiled as he melted at the affection.

“You're coming with this time, Millie has been giving me absolute hell since I wouldn't let you come with last time” If his eyes had been opened, I was sure he would've rolled them in an annoyed manner.

“Oh really? Afraid she'll try and beat you up?” I couldn't help but giggle, he was afraid of a girl half his size. To be fair though, she could be mean when she wanted to be.

“I am not, I just want you to be there with me this time” He cut himself off and sat up, looking at my face intently.

I opened my mouth to ask him what was up before his lips were on mine. The kiss was so soft I would've thought I was imagining it. His hands slid up to my cheeks as we slowly kissed, a smile gracing his perfect lips.

“Do you know how much I love you Y/N?” His words caught me off guard, sure we had told each other that we loved one another more times than I could ever count. But it always gave me butterflies when he said it.

“I love you too Dacre” I held my hands over his and pulled them down into my lap.

“I'm sorry for not calling or texting. Trust me you were always on my mind when we were filming, and I wanted nothing more than to text and see how you were doing. But then it got hectic and we were shooting up to eighteen hours a day and by the time I got to my phone I'd pass out” I opened my mouth to tell him it was alright, but he held up a hand to stop me.

“Millie told me how upset you were when I didn't make it home yesterday, our flights were all delayed and by the time we were boarding I knew you'd of been in bed” I felt terrible, he wasn't ignoring me because he wanted to.

“Babe, it's fine” I squeezed his hands and frowned.

I didn't want to cry anymore, over something that sounded so silly after being brought out into the light. It was exactly like crying over spilled milk, and now I looked like a fool for being upset that he didn't call me when he was busting his ass daily.

“Well, that's why I want you to come with, at least for the last bit of filming” His cheeks turned a light shade of pink, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrow.

“Something happen earlier in the season I should know about Mr Montgomery?” I wrapped my arms around his neck and crawled into his lap, our chests pressed flush together.

“I may or may not, have made an ass of myself multiple times” His hands gripped onto my hips, his eyes looking up at me.

“Oh babe” I laughed loudly, gripping onto him tighter at the thought.

“It'll be worth it in the end” His words were sincere.

“I know” I kissed his cheek and relaxed against him.

The rest of the morning was spent with chaste kisses and talks about how the filming had been so far. Dacre and Joe had gotten into arguments everyday, which lead to them not being allowed on set together unless the scene called for it. He told me how much his character had changed, although he didn't want to give too much away. Stories of how the entire cast had gone out to dinner and luckily no one recognized them. Millie had posted the photos online of everyone eating peacefully, making jokes at Finn and Joe's expense. To be fair, they were all covered in sauce from their plates of food. He had asked how things had been at home, I told him of the foster cat I had for a couple weeks.

“Babe, you know why we can't have an animal” Dacre wasn't letting up on us getting any type of animal.

“But what about when you leave and I'm here all alone?” I pleaded, a cat could keep me company while he was busy shooting something very hush hush.

“Baby, I love you, I really do, but no” He pulled me closer, his fingers tracing circles into my skin.

“If you're gone for longer than two months again, I'm getting a cat” I was trying to be stern, but with the way he'd look at me, I couldn't help but deflate.

“If it comes down to it, I will let you get one cat” He stressed one, I wouldn't be that reckless.

“Thank you baby” I kissed his cheek and smiled wide.

At least next time he was across the world, I could have something to keep me company.

When we last saw our heroine, she had just paid off her first home expansion to immediately request the first room addition to incur another 300 something thousands bells worth of debt.

Will she pay it off? Will she do it in a day? She honestly doesn’t remember so she’s gonna refer to a calendar and various strings of text messages, google hangout chats, and Instagram DMs to try to retrace the past 8 days of her ACNH life.

25 march 2020

It seems I failed to mention in my last post that my first new neighbor had arrived that day. His name is Boomer, and I met him on my first mystery island trip. We did not interact very much on that fateful first meeting, but I was on a mission (I believe to collect iron nuggets) and he is only an NPC with limited responses to limited interactions anyway.

Boomer is a funny little penguin. I also only found out yesterday that he’s a penguin. I thought he was just a non-descript bird. He likes bugs and snacks. He calls the bugs his friends, so I don’t think he eats them. He also really likes pear furniture and wooden simple beds. He has shared the wooden simple bed recipe with me twice already. If you need one, you know who to go to.

26 march 2020

Thursday. The second neighbor arrived that day. She is a pink panda named Pinky. She likes pink things. I don’t remember very much from this day. Neighbors aren’t worth much time the day that they first arrive to the island. They stay in their homes amidst stacked cardboard boxes sweeping away and never seeming to make any progress no matter how much time has passed from when you last checked in on them. Why is it important at all to greet them on their first day? These are questions I have asked myself. Do I have an answer now? Not really.

I’m pretty sure I mostly focused on paying off my debt this day. One of my friends shared a flower breeding efficiency guide, so this might have been the day that I started organizing my flower beds and got it in my head that I wanted to organize my fruit trees. I might be wrong about which day, but it definitely happened on some day.

AH. Whatsapp has reminded me that I actually didn’t do very much in this 24 hour period, because I spent most of my IRL night drinking. Oh to be human and feel alive.

27 march 2020

Friday. Friday Olive moved in. She is the last of the first 3 new island residents (where I suppose Stinky, Reneigh, and myself are all founding residents?). She’s a sweet little bear. She reminds me of either an older woman friend or an aunt or a best friend’s mom. A few days ago from today, she gave me a gift (I don’t remember now what it was, I probably sold it /: ) but she did say that she thought it was very kind and thoughtful of me to come and say hi to her on her first day on the island. So maybe that is worth something.. Although I’ve said hi to everyone on their first day and Olive was the only one to ever acknowledge it later…

I must have done quite a bit of island work, harvesting wood, crafting, selling fruit and furniture. And island hopping as well. This day I created a Google sheet pulling from multiple resources containing fish/bug information (seasons, times of day, and selling price), and a list of craftable recipes (how to obtain them, raw materials required, selling price). I was very tired of having all these tables that could not be easily sorted. I also made a calculator so you could quickly know how much the items in your pocket would return (not that you can’t trust Timmy and Tommy) or so you could quickly compare the value of say 10 non-native fruit versus a tadpole (spoiler alert, the tadpole isn’t it).

Quick note that might actually be helpful to some who aren’t as into this game as I am: A stack of non-native fruit will return 5000 bells. A stack of coconut, 2500 bells. A stack of your native fruit, only 1000 bells. Most bugs won’t return more than 1k, and fewer than half of the fish species will net you more than 2.5k. So know your valuable species and save your pocket slots for whatever’s gonna reap you the most return.

Spreadsheets are very helpful to me. I would one day like to make a craft recipe database that would let you know, based on what raw material you have on hand, which recipes would yield the highest return for material. I haven’t quite yet wrapped my mind around how I would do this (I think Notion would be the better tool for it, rather than Google Sheets), but I’m also hoping that maybe someone will do it before me. (And it’s exactly this attitude that keeps me from ever becoming an entrepreneur.)

I caught a koi this night! I only am able to remember which night is was because I took a little video! (Oh and I can actually share some images now because I set up a new twitter account exactly for this purpose.. I will be going back through previous posts to add a little imagery).

And I was hoping to find Celeste that night. I thought I saw a few shooting stars, but I didn’t know what to do about them. I had read an article a few days before this about Celeste giving a wand recipe and star fragments and wishing. But I didn’t commit the information to memory and also I hadn’t seen Celeste around anyway.

28 march 2020

Saturday Saturday.. I didn’t play as many hours as I was awake on Saturday.

IRL I had some errands to run that day. I got morning announcements and stayed busy while waiting for Nook’s Cranny to open.

Resident Services was closed this day for renovations. I was droppings bags of bells off in my house between trips to Nook’s Cranny. I didn’t do as much island exploring as I thought I might the day that RS wasn’t open for business. I had been wanting to try to land on tarantula island, but I just wasn’t up for flying.

29 march 2020

SUNDAY!

milestones: Resident Services opened in their brand spanking new building with actual walls. Isabelle is here, and from articles I’ve read online other players are very excited about that. I never played New Leaf (and definitely never got onto Pocket Camp), so I don’t know anything about her. But she is a welcome break from Tom Nook. Nothing against him, but you do get tired of certain character’s mannerisms, yes?

I had also read an article that misleadingly used a headline suggesting that Tom Nook is nicer in NH than in previous games. But the game creator said that Tom has always been a nice guy, and that the structure of this game perhaps just allows that to be more apparent now.

Daisy mae was at Stonsthro, and also at every other island that witch. I had not got around to selling my turnips from the week before so when I dug them up from my garden they were of course spoiled. I am not in desperate need to catching ants and flies, so I sneakily sold them to Timmy and Tommy (for probably zero bells, but still – they’re purported to not accept turnips, in any condition I would think, on Sundays).

The HHA gave me a rating of 30something thousand. And I think they also gave me kitchen furniture? In addition to my Nook Shopping packages I had a number of gifts in the mail. One was from Boomer, as a late island-warming gift or something like that. Even though he was the one to move here! (I’m so impressed with how much the game developers put into these characters.)

According to Whatsapp, this morning I still owed 54k to Nook for my 1st addition. I don’t know why I felt that was worthy of reporting to my group chat when 54k could easily be crafted and earned in mere minutes if the raw materials are already in storage.

AHH THIISS was the day that I actually organized my flower beds. I think on Thursday I just planted more flowers in a way that would be conducive to breeding, but I didn’t go full out and arrange the beds. Sunday I did exactly that and moved my outdoor workstation to make way for 3 flower beds – tulips, hyacinths, and windflowers. And I made moves with organizing my trees this day too. A little messy but still. Mostly I just carved a keep clear path to the entrance of Nook’s Cranny.

Sunday was an incredibly productive day on Stonsthro. All of this and with the RS open again, I scouted the area for our first incline (east side of the island, north of Boomer and Pinky’s houses) and paid it off.

I scouted the relocation of Reneigh’s house (FINALLY!) and paid that immediately (I think because I was required to…). She’s actually just north of the river from my house now. When I moved her house I did feel a little bit mean just uprooting her. But she was programmed to be on board with it. Even still, being aware that she likes to sleep in, I moved her to the west side of the island and because she seems to like her space she’s the only inhabitant in that area. Anyone who wants to come bother her will either have to cross a river or take a ladder down.

And the last milestone I covered this day was the placement for the campsite.

I think I did hop around this night hoping to land on tarantulas, but it didn’t happen. I hit a normal and the bell rock island. Normal island was a quick trip. I just knocked all the rocks mostly, fished each spot once, maybe twice, collected all the fruit and went back home. Bell rock island I spent a lot of time on actually. After knocking all the rocks I stayed and fished. The moat around the bell island spawns pond fish, probably because it doesn’t feed into the sea. I caught SO MUCH koi. And my boyfriend caught me on his IG stories absolutely geeking over my spreadsheet. (Koi banks 4000 bells a pop, so fuck all the dabs you might have caught on the beach.)

Oh but Sunday night! I did run into Celeste on Sunday night and I wished on SO MANY stars. More than 30, forsure. When talking to the neighbors that day, they were all going on about the meteor shower so I knew it was happening. Which makes me question why I thought I saw shooting stars on Saturday. Ohhhhhhh. I know. It’s because the game’s not so good with optical flow so when you’re running around the island, really bright stars dart around in the background instead of appearing still. That trips me up pretty often actually. I’ll be running and come to quick stop like a dog who’s just sighted a squirrel.

“I’m excited for tmrw! Bigger hours, reneigh will be in her new location instead of stupidly in front the of the museum, new ramp, and star fragments!” An actual text message I sent out to my group chat. Oh right. I paid off that 54k to Tom Nook and, of course, requested my 2nd addition.

30 march 2020

I have no idea what to do with my 2nd room. I don’t have enough items catalogued or recipes discovered to craft a proper bathroom or a proper kitchen. I don’t care to have a second bedroom. I don’t actually want to build a spa. I mean I do, but I kind of want an outdoor one (wah).

With the first infrastructure project done, the next was to build a bridge connecting the founder’s portion of the island to the most central part (which is also were I placed Nook’s Cranny). It’s the most frequently crossed portion of river for me, going back and forth between my house and the store to sell or buy (but mostly sell, amirite?).

Reneigh’s new place.. I love that it isn’t at the old place. The campsite.. is underwhelming. We didn’t have any visitors this day. But we did have Flick. Flick is very weirdly into bugs, but at least he knows that he’s weird about it? I didn’t catch a TON of bugs just because he was there, but also because bugs aren’t worth all that much to begin with so 1.5x on em is like eh. Pretty much I just caught bugs as I normally would and brought them to him instead of to the Cranny. I also gave him the tiger butterfly to create a … model? Statue? I wished it would have been the emperor butterfly instead but.. I just didn’t catch as many. I’d forget to save them and would sell them to him instead.

Well with the 2nd addition comes even more debt. It was 500somethingk this time around. I had absolutely no aspiration to pay this debt off quickly. Partially because I’d rather build more infrastructure on the island. Partially because I wouldn’t even know what to with whatever the next expansion is. Whether it’s more square feet or another room, it all needs more furniture to fill. So for now I’m just gonna buy new things every day so I can have the option to buy them again later. One thing that bums me out is that I wish that once you crafted something you have the option to just buy it for a marked up price later.

I did wood harvesting this day. Chopped and shook down all my trees. “Got stung 5 times, went through 4 axes, and shook 2 pieces of furniture out!” Around 8pm when that message went out. I crafted all that could be crafted and went to bed with my pockets full.

Oh! Worth mentioning: I collected something like 13 or 17 star fragments this day. I don’t even know what to do with all of that. I only have 2 wand recipes and both wands do the same thing -__- I ended up crafting just a bunch of bamboo wands. I wanted to give them away, to Reneigh and to Olive and maybe to Pinky. Reneigh was already asleep. Olive didn’t seem very impressed with the gift, but she did reciprocate and gave me a striped dress (that I really like, actually). But since she didn’t care much for it, I decided to sell the other wands instead of giving them to my neighbors. I think they go for a couple thousand bells, I can’t remember. I don’t regret it because at this point I don’t like Pinky all that much anyway.

31 march 2020

I fucked up this day. Straight up just fucked up.

IRL, I had a project deadline Tuesday morning that I honestly should have spent time working on Monday night to finish but if you’ve been reading you’ll know that I mostly was at Stonsthro catching some bees and chopping some trees, as Wilbur says.

So I didn’t have my usualmorning gameplay. Instead I was up at 6 and having a real work day straight through 3pm (which is honestly nice in these crazy times to have a feeling of things needing to get done). I also had some … let’s call it “exciting” IRL stuff go down, which on top of my work day left me just OVER IT.

I didn’t return to Stonsthro until 11pm. I didn’t realize how I fucked up until I came on and Isabelle started to read me the day’s announcements. THE ANNOUNCEMENTS AT 11PM. Nook’s Cranny, already closed! And my pockets still full from the night before. Not a single bell to be earned this day.

RS at least seems to be open 24 hours a day. I was able to give orders for the next infrastructure project, another incline just west of Olive’s house. I feel like naming the different areas of my island for easier reference.

And the campsite had a visitor. His name was Julian, he seems to be a little too woowoo, even for a unicorn. Maybe it’s ironic. At least I was able to talk to him and get him to stay at Stonsthro permanently, so the day wasn’t a total loss.

Because I’m not sure when this fits in, I’ll just drop this here: “My annoying neighbor horse is actually growing on me like she’s still a bitch but when’s all uhh I already talked to you today I’m like bye bitch and then she’s all :greetings: smize and I’m like okay grrl see you tmrw” And excuse my stupid texting, but it is true that I’m warming up to Reneigh. She doesn’t want me all up in her air, and she lets me know, and I respect that.

This one time I gave Reneigh this ugly ass pink Sherpa skirt because I didn’t want it and she has pink hair so idk. She said it isn’t really her thing, and gave me something in return. It was a basketball tank. Also not really my thing. I felt like we understood each other a little better after that.

1 april 2020

CHERRY BLOSSOMS!

This morning the island was undeniably PINK. What I love most about this is that I can now very very easily tell which trees are fruit bearing and which are not. Thank you, spring (:

Since I somewhat had organized my fruit trees already, the only ones that are unsorted are the native pears which just.. exist everywhere alongside the hardwood.

There are new bugs out too! Common bluebottle, peacock butterfly (am concurrently learning that this is not new to April, just new to the fact that I bred some blue hyacinths), locusts, water bugs. It was exciting to be in a new season because I was getting tired of the tiger butterflies and the paper kites. They’re still around but it’s nice to see something new.

I do have more to share about yesterday and about today. But it is 11:49pm right now and I think I’ve been at this since 8:30. Whyyyyyy?!??!?! Literally nobody is asking me to do this!

I don’t know I think it helps to feel like I have some kind of a grasp on where my days have been going.
