Such a flirt - Timothée Chalamet

27- irl

- Today's the day! I sing as I enter the kitchen where Timothée's already eating breakfast.

- You ready? He asks and points to the counter where he prepared my breakfast.

- Yes! The place is great, it's not as good as here, nothing is sadly, but it's nice and cozy and close to the studio, plus, it's not far from here so when you miss me too much we can still hang out.

- Cool, he says not looking up from his plate.

- You okay?

- Oh yeah just tired.

- Oh, well thanks for breakfast.

- Of course.

- So how do you feel?! I sit in front of him and start eating. Knowing you're finally gonna get your alone time back!

- Awesome, yeah, can't wait.

- Well, Tom is helping today, Zendaya's busy but my friends Kiersey and Veronica are coming as well. Can you come?

- Um, I don't think so... Lots of things to do...

- Oh... Well it's fine, I'll give you a tour when everything's set up I guess.

- Yeah, sure.

- Alright then, I hastily finish my breakfast, I am now leaving, text me when you have some free time.

- Have a good day.

- You too! And rest, you seem kinda off...

- Yeah, yeah I will.

- Also, um, nothing, never-mind. See you later alligator!

I wanted to tell him I had something important to say but I didn't want to make him worry or imagine impossible things as to what could be important. Even though he's not the overthinker I am, it wouldn't be cool to tell him that, knowing he'd have to wait. And he seemed to be dealing with his own stuff, he wasn't the cheerful Timmy he usually is, but I learned that he never talks about his emotions unless he wants to, and it's useless to push it and force him to do it. If he needs to talk to me, I'm sure he will when the time is right.

It took me three months to find a good apartment and settle everything for the moving in. I got to know Tim better, we had some amazing times, I even met his sister once who's adorable. I was a little sad to leave, but as much as I enjoy Timothée's presence, I also adore living alone. But, the one thing I missed the most, was my cat Ash. A cute little black cat that I left at Veronica's house when Thomas and I moved in together. He never really liked cats. I thought about taking him back when I moved in with Timothée but I knew it was temporary and didn't wanna confuse Ash. Staying at too many different places would only mess him up. I visited him a lot but he's my best friend, my cute and adorable best friend and now I would finally reunite with him and spend everyday in his royal company.

I push my thoughts aside when I finally arrive in front of my new building where the moving truck is parked and Tom is waiting for me. I wave at him when his eyes meet mine and walk to embrace him.

- Hi! How are you?!

- I'm great, helping you move in, knowing damn well you won't stay here for long.

- What does that mean?

- Nothing.

- Tom.

- Sooner or later you'll be going back to Timothée's flat.

- Alright I've heard too much already, I see and Kiersey and Veronica arriving saving me from this conversation, hi! Oh my gosh Ash baby! I take my beautiful cat from Veronica's arms and cuddle him. I've missed you sweetie, yes I missed you so much!

- Only two seconds in and we've already lost her... laughs Kiersey. Do you like your cat more than your best friends?

- My cat is my best friend.

- Then I'm sure you'll only need him to help you with your stuff.

- Nooo, please stay! I like you more than my cat, I bat my eyelashes and smile widely.

- Mmh, yeah that's not very convincing but we'll stay, states Veronica, I admit your cat is the sweetest thing ever, it's hard not to resist, I'm gonna miss him.

- I know, he's the best.

- He sleeps a lot, doesn't do much but he's so cute and loves cuddles which is the ultimate goal of having a cat. You'll be seeing me a lot at your place, but honestly it won't be for you.

- Great, duly noted, my friends prefer my cat over me.

- You prefer you cat over us, Tom comments.

- Whaaat? I've never said anything like that. Anyway, we have furniture to lift.

- Right, sighs Kiersey as we start picking up boxes, I don't know why I ever said yes to this.

- Because you love me.

- Eh... she shrugs.
