The Neigbor (Loid x Reader)

Author's note: So, if you're wondering where this would fall in the timeline of the anime, this would take place during the very first episode when Loid was still addressed as Robert, his former alias before becoming Loid.

Background: After settling yourself down in the heart Berlint, you find yourself captivated by the blonde neighbor across the hall.

A frantic cry erupted from outside your door, startling you enough to nearly drop the cup of tea you had been cradling all morning.

While most would already be scrambling to dial the secret police, you simply shook your head with an exasperated sigh.

You had only moved into the Berlint apartment a few days ago after receiving a position in City Hall's finance department. It was a career path many never failed to comment on, sneering that it was no woman's place to be an accountant. You couldn't care less, though. Sure, you were weary whenever another coworker got dragged out of the office for conspiracy, and making friends wasn't the easiest task, but those were chances you didn't mind taking. The job paid well, and it meant you had extra cash to send home.

Another scream rang from the hallway, and you looked up to your front entrance. Despite meeting most of your neighbors, you had yet to come across the mysterious person across the hall. You had tried knocking a few days ago during your introductory rounds, but no one had answered. Within the span of three days, you watched as the same woman came bawling from the door, beelining to the elevator with a mascara-soaked face. Whoever lived behind that door certainly seemed to have quite the partner.

Once the banging started, that's when you decided it was time for an intervention. At the very least, to restore some of the peace and quiet on your floor.

You strode across your living room, swinging open your door to find a dirty-blonde woman practically throwing herself at your neighbor's, rapting her fists against the wood so hard you thought it would splinter.

"Yu-YOU BASTARD!" She wailed hysterically, the signature black makeup already leaking from her eyes. You leaned against the wall, contemplating how best to approach and maybe comfort her down enough to stop the shouting.

Fortunately, to both your and her shock, the door eventually gave way.

And your eyes met his.

For a moment, you said nothing as you took in the man's appearance. His green suit fit him beautifully, revealing a toned build beneath the fabric. Platinum blonde hair fell evenly over his face, trimmed to an almost perfect length. However, his frosty blue eyes were the most striking of all his handsome features. You felt a heat rise to your cheeks as his cold gaze swept over your own figure.

"R-Robert!"

You cringed away from the woman's cry, almost forgetting she was even there. You looked back expectantly to the handsome man, assumingly named Robert, curious as to how he would shush the distraught woman.

"Karen," he warned, eyeing her ardulously. You shivered at his demanding tone, both attracted and intimidated. The single word seemed to do the trick as it silenced Karen immediately, her eyes glistening with tears.

"I've told you repeatedly not to come here anymore." Robert sighed, running a tired hand down his face. "I don't want to have to keep reminding you. This is the fifth time you've shown up here and disgraced yourself. I suggest you stop now." His eyes gleamed with a chilling animosity, "unless you want me to drag your father into this..."
