a realistic tommyinnit x reader

1 • mystery boy

y/n sluggishly got out of bed, eyes drooping from lack of sleep. She was way too nervous to sleep. Today was her first day of college.

She quickly got ready, untangling her hair and putting on some light makeup. she stared at herself in the mirror for a long time, contemplating her outfit. finally she forced herself to settle for something plain, not wanting to be late.

The morning was foggy, the mist clinging to her face as she trudged down the street. she spotted the bus stop at 8:20, arriving early for the 8:30 bus. she had a bad habit of staring at her feet when she walked, causing her to not notice the boy sitting at the bench until he was only a few feet away. He had golden hair and sat frantically texting someone. she sat down slowly next to him, bouncing her leg to distract herself from the awkward silence.

after what felt like ages, the city bus pulled in front of them and y/n stood, waiting for the boy to do the same. However, he didn't seem to notice the bus. He was still typing away at lightning speed, a slight smile etched on his face. y/n didn't have the heart to leave him there to miss the bus, so she reached out and lightly kicked his foot. he looked up startled, and she was now able to see his deep blue eyes, staring at her in confusion. she nodded towards the bus and he turned bright red.

"sorry," he muttered as he hurriedly climbed onto the bus. with a chuckle, y/n climbed in after him.

The ride wasn't long, only around ten minutes from one stop to the next. y/n scrolled absentmindedly through twitter, and noticed #tommyinnit was trending in the UK. tommyinnit? sounds like a dramatically british cartoon character she thought with a furrowed brow. she clicked on it and noticed lots and lots of tweets and fanart. she clicked the first drawing she saw. it was realistic, showing a boy with golden hair and a red and white tshirt standing next to a shorter brunette boy in a green button down. she lifted an eyebrow, realizing how much the boy in the drawing resembled the one at the bus stop. glancing around, y/n caught the eye of the mystery boy. looking from the drawing and back to him several times, she decided that it was definitely him. her suspicions were confirmed when she searched "tommyinnit" and found all his socials. millions of followers and subscribers. what the hell?

the bus finally stopped just down the street from     y/n's college. she followed a small group of people out of the doors, thanking the driver as she left. she was distracted, though, never taking her eyes off of her phone while trying to puzzle together who this guy was. she had figured out that he was a minecraft youtuber and streamer. nerd, she thought, nearly laughing out loud.

out of the corner of her eye she noticed a familiar face jogging to catch up with her. she hadn't even noticed he had gotten off at the same stop. we must go to the same school, she thought. after a few awkward seconds of walking she finally decided to introduce herself.

"hey. i'm y/n," she said, holding a hand out to the side for him to shake

"i'm tommy," he responded shaking her hand just a little too aggressively. he had the strongest british accent she had ever heard, which was saying something considering she had lived in the UK her entire life.

"tommyinnit," she corrected jokingly. he seemed surprised at this. why was he surprised? he had millions of followers, he probably got recognized all the time.

"this is now slightly more awkward since you watch my videos," he said with a chuckle.

"oh no, i don't watch you. you just happened to pop up on my twitter feed. i'd never even heard of you until today."

"oh. ouch," he said with a loud, obnoxious laugh. it was kind of cute in a way, though.

by then they were at the front doors of their school. "ladies first." he dramatically gestured toward the door he was holding open. rolling her eyes, y/n stepped inside.

yes this is short but expect longer chapters!!
