England x Reader {Part 1}

... Small le timeskip from intro ...

After ____ had stomped through the grueling snow, ordered her meal (while having a decent and helpful conversation with the guy at the counter about stores around town), she started to go back to her new home.

The warmth that she knew that would greet her was too much to bare. Her cheeks were stinging, as well as her teeth chattering faintly with each rush of wind.

Gripping the paper Mc Donald's bag tighter, her eyes fell upon her apartment building. Once again, coziness was near. It was a strangely happy moment for her. But hey, wouldn't you be containing YOUR joy if you had been out in -20 blizzard weather and your warm, comfy and peaceful house was half a block away? Sure you were.

____ was trembling, so in order to get to her apartment faster, she moved faster.

Bad idea.

As she was approaching the door, she slid on a patch of black ice, right into a man. He was kind of short, but that adorable kind of short. He had managed to catch her and stay upright.

"I'm so sorry! There was ice and I wasn't looking and-" She was cut off with a chuckle. A soft laugh. For the first time, she took a look at the man. Blonde hair, jade green eyes and funny eyebrows. They were... in other words... bushy. ____ giggled slightly a she straightened up.

"No, it's alright love." He was British. Definitely. She blushed, as she thought British accents were so cute and charming. Well, who didn't? "My name is Arthur. Arthur Kirkland. It's a pleasure to meet you, love." ____ blushed, the red on her face brightening.

"I'm ____. Uh... ____ ____." She responded. The English man noticed her crimson cheeks.

"Are you cold? You may come inside for tea and cookies if you want, darling." Flattered by his gentlemanly ways, she gladly accepted. "Grand. Follow me, okay?" ____ nodded, and strolled into the building... the building she lived in. And they went into an elevator.

Arthur pressed the number '3' button. Hm. He was on the floor below hers. Well, they were neighbors.
