Jermone Clarke One Shot

You Angel!

Jerome tapped his fingers on the wheel of his car along with his music, every so often he glanced at his phone to make sure he was following the directions. He drove a little slower than usual, given he had everything he cared for filling the car to bursting point.

He pulled up to the tall apartment building, followed signs for the car park and found himself a spot.

Once parked up he took a moment to run his hand through his blonde hair and let out a long breath.

Jerome grabbed his phone and quickly called her up,

"Hey, Y/n? I uhh I just pulled into the car park, how do uhh how do I come out?"

"Ooooooohhh! One second!" she squealed excitedly before she hung up,

"Uhh? Okay," He laughed, grabbing his messenger bag from the passenger seat as he climbed out of the car,

Jerome looked up at the imposing apartment building, and tried to figure out where the entrance was, given the bottom was a laundromat and a convenience store,

But as he got closer, the door to the convenience store slid open, and Y/n emerged.

Y/n wore her little boots, a pair of laddered grey tights, some denim shorts with the hem fraying, a grey tank top with a pink crop top over it, her hair in a long braid pinned up in a bun, and a bright blue slushie in her hand.

Jerome couldn't hold back his wide smile, just seeing her again made him giddy and excited.

"Eeeeeeeeee!" She squealed,

And the two almost ran to one another and threw their arms around each other in a cradled embrace.

"I missed you!" she cooed,

"I've missed you too," He smiled, "Feels like forever since I saw you in the flesh." he laughed giving her a little bit of a squeeze, he didn't care they'd just been hugging on the street for this long, the last time he got to feel her in his arms was when they had a tearful hug goodbye when they packed up from the Anubis dorm after graduation.

"I know, it's been way too long." she agreed slowly pulling back to see his face, "Video calls aren't a substitute for actually being with your stupid blonde butt."

He laughed, "Yeah, it doesn't compare, and you look amazing! It's nice to actually see you comfortable after all this time." He smiled looking at her outfit,

"You like it?" she smiled,

"Yeah, way cuter than your old uniform."

She laughed, "Awww, thank you, you do too."

"I really have missed you though Y/n."

"I have too," she cooed nuzzling her head into his chest,

Immediately Jerome felt nostalgic for their time at Anubis, but so happy he had her in his arms again.

She pulled back and offered the straw of her slush, "Blue Berry Blaster."

"Ooohhh! You angel," he cooed, having a long sip, "They sell this in there?"

"Yep, Red Berry Rocket too, and fried chicken strips, hot dogs and breakfast muffins."

"Ooohh we're gonna get fat."

"City," she shrugged, "We're gonna have to walk like everywhere,"

"Good point." He nodded, "So? How do we... get in?"

"Door's around the corner." She smiled as she led the way to the apartment doors and into the apartment building,

"Thanks again for this Y/n,"

"You don't have to thank me, Jerome," she laughed, "My roommate was leaving anyway, and it's so close to your internship it just makes sense."

"It does, but still thank you,"

She unlocked the apartment door and led Jerome inside,

The place was small, a two-bed, one-bath apartment with a small living space and kitchen. The place already had a few items set up, a couch, a TV, and some mugs in the kitchen. Y/n's room, of course, is completely set up.

"And this is it!" she smiled, setting her slush on the kitchen counter,

"It's amazing." he nodded,

"And here is your cosy room," She showed him his own bedroom,

A fairly little strangely shaped room, given the many apartments, shoved into the building, with a wardrobe, chest of drawers and a double bed.

"I already made the bed up for you with some nice new sheets,"

"You are so sweet, thank you!" He dumped his bag and immediately lay on the bed, "Ughhh... big bed."

"Comfy?" She laughed,

"Mhm," he nodded, "My Uni dorm had the most uncomfortable bed known to humanity," He told her, "Even my mum's just has a bunk bed... this is amazing,"

She laughed sitting on the bed with him, "A bunk?"

"Well not technically, you know one of those ladder beds where you would like... customize. Bunk if you have more kids, swing seats if you have a social kid, Pc if you have a nerd."

"And you had?"

"PC." he grumbled, "But seriously, thank you, my back will be thanking you for the next twenty years."

"You're welcome," she laughed,

Jerome slowly sat up and smiled taking Y/n's hand, "Seriously, I really mean it, Y/n. Thank you so much for this. And... I'm really looking forward to living with you, Again."

"Me too," she smiled once more falling into his chest,

He smiled and happily coiled his arms around her tightly and rubbed his cheek against her hair,

"So? Do you want any help bringing your boxes up?"

"Yeah if you don't mind?"

"No trouble," she nodded, hopping off the bed, "We'll get you settled in, and then go on a grocery run, I have intentionally just let everything diminish so we could do a big shop together. Seriously, I have two slices of bread and a single egg in the kitchen."

He laughed, "Of course you do. That's perfect, though I just left like toiletries and stuff at my mum's, so I need... everything."

"We better get started then." she nodded as they went into the apartment, "Ohh! And Stop for takeout on the way home?"

"Oh god, yes!" Jerome agreed from his bed, "Absolutely, you angel!" he said as he got to his feet to start unpacking.
