-END OF APRIL 2019, GAGA'S HOUSE-

It's a warm, lazy evening, and Lady Gaga is reclining by the shallow pool in her backyard, stroking one of her dogs in her lap, soft sunset rays illuminating them, when Bradley Cooper charges in. He jumps on the beach chair and seizes her hand, startling her.

"Bradley!" Stefani sits up, lifting her white rimmed, silver studded sunglasses, pushing her hair behind her ear, as her dog runs off, barking.

He sits there, slowly twisting the understated, glimmering ring on the fourth finger of her hand, entwining his fingers with hers, rubbing the tattoo on her wrist with his thumb.

"What happened? Why are you so tense?" she asks, cupping his stubbly face. "Did you just watch Endgame?" she jokes.

"When are we going to break the news of our engagement, Stefani?"

"Bradley, I told you, when I'm ready! I still have to sort things out with my mother and-"

"Stefani- I can't keep us a secret any longer, there are a thousand rumors going around of you and me and Irina and Christian and the hawkeye guy, and I just-"

"Brad, what did you do?"

"Check Ellen," he said, giving her his phone.

"You didn't-" she gasps, clutching his arm.

"No! I- just look," he urges.

A news web page flashes on his phone screen, as she reads an article stating that Bradley Cooper told Ellen that he has ideas for a one-night performance of 'A Star is Born,' with Lady Gaga, including live script reading and singing.

"I want to announce it like this- through this. Bringing it full circle," Bradley whispers, "I didn't disclose a date- that's your decision- I want it whenever you're ready."

Lady Gaga raises her head, and looks at him, in his intense blue eyes, almost glowing in the luminous twilight. Without speaking, she grips his face, burying her fingers in his soft hair, and kisses him hard.

"I'll take that as a yes," Cooper murmurs, his lips on Stefani's neck.

As the two disentangle from each other's arms, the sun disappearing from the horizon in a haze of pink and orange, a figure appears behind them, from inside Gaga's house.

Bradley Cooper breaks away from Lady Gaga as he turns his head to see a handsome, muscled man standing a few feet away from them, with a towel wrapped around his waist. Bradley looks at him coldly and turns back to Stefani, who seems to have not noticed the new man's presence.

"Awkward," Jeremy Renner* laughs, clearing his throat.

*A footnote about the involvement of Jeremy Renner: It's kind of referring to all the rumors that went around this month about Gaga and Renner- they're false, but this is a fanfic 😉
