PROMPT

Person A and B become roommates and meet each other for the first time. Sent in by @tylerscheidisbae

The ad in the paper was simple enough, a male looking for a flat mate for the year or more. That wasn't what interested you. The address was damn near perfect for your work. From this apartment, it would only take you a few minutes to get there.

Where you lived now, there was a half hour bus drive and a ten minute walk, and of course the bus was never reliable so you where almost always late. You circled the ad and quickly got back to work, lunch break regretfully over.

After a few more hours of pointless work, you managed to grab a quick moment to yourself. Re-reading the ad, you found the number of the guy and flicked him a quick text.

TO: xxx-xxxx-xxxx

Hey! Just read your ad, is the room still available?

Thanks, Y/N

Walking home was boring as usual. Once you had finally gotten to your flat, you checked your phone and found a text.

FROM: xxx-xxxx-xxxx

Hey! Yeah, the room is available. When did you want to look at the room? I'm available tomorrow?

Thanks, Tyler

TO xxx-xxxx-xxxx

Sure, I get off work at 5:30, the apartment is only a few minutes walk away. I could come then?
- Cheers, Y/N

FROM Tyler apt.

Sure, see you then :)

For some reason, that little smily face made you grin like an idiot. You had no idea who he was, but you got the feeling he was nice.


Work was stressful, and you where on your feet all day, and by the time you got off work, you wanted to fall into bed and never get out. But you made yourself hurry to Tyler's apartment to check it out.

After double checking the number, you quickly knocked on the cream coloured door, nerves eating away at your stomach.

A man opened the door, and the first thing you saw was a head of unruly curls, falling into beautiful steel blue eyes.

"Hey, you must be y/n." He spoke, his voice husky and deep. You blinked quickly and sent him a shaky smile. God, he was gorgeous...

"Y-Yeah! Thats me, you must be Tyler." You blushed, his half smile made him 20 times more attractive.

"Yeah, come in." Tyler opened the door wider, revealing the spacious living room.

"This place is beautiful!" You gaped, the tall windows let you see out to a small strip of grass beside a tall tan wooden fence. Something large and white caught your eye.

"You...  have swan floaties?" You asked in disbelief. A sudden image of Tyler reclining on one of the white floating birds came into your head. This mental image made you giggle. Tyler groaned.

"Sorry, those where for a friends video, he uh - he didn't have a place to leave them." Tyler's cheeks grew pink.

"No, they are cute!" You tried to quieten your giggles. He showed you the kitchen and a couple rooms.

"This is the spare room, usually just a spare bed, and basic storage." Tyler seemed hesitant to open the door, and when he did you understood why.

Stained school-girl esque shirts and skirts lay on the perfectly made bed, egg soaked towels lay on the pristine carpet. You bit your lip, you spied a couple child three-wheeled bikes, one smashed beyond belief.

"I'm going to kill him." Tyler spoke calmly beside you. You couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I told him to leave everything clean!" Tyler groaned as you laughed beside him.

"This is so perfect." You managed between snorts, Tyler looked confused.

"I hate the perfectly clean houses or apartments, at least this shows some personality!" You joked, Tyler blinked at you for a second, before chuckling.

"I guess you are a right. And yes, I wore these." Tyler stepped into the room and scooped up the stained blue skirt. You leaned on the doorframe, not caring how loud you laughed.

"I cannot believe you wore that!" You snorted, Tyler laughed with you.

"I did! Seriously! I have proof!" Tyler shook the skirt in protest.

"And the trikes? Did you ride one?" You thought of Tyler crumpled up, trying to fit on the bike. Knees up by his ears, you snorted as he nodded.

"I destroyed mine. It was so uncomfortable." He nudged the mess of plastic and wheels with his shoe.

"I need to see the proof of this." You giggled, trying to stop yourself from smiling so wide.

Tyler groaned, and pulled out his phone, and quickly located the picture, he handed the phone to you. 

There was Tyler glaring at the camera, the skirt billowing out slightly around his thighs, the white shirt stretched over his shoulders and chest. You stifled your giggles.

"I must say, skirts suit you!" You joked, Tyler snorted and showed you another picture, this time he was curled into himself, trying to fit on a tiny little trike.

"Oh my god, your legs are so long!" You gasped, making Tyler snort.

"A blessing and a curse." He said dryly. 

"Better than being short!" You shot back, both of you walking back to the lounge.

"True, now let me show you the room I'm renting out." Tyler lead you to a clean medium sized room, a lovingly made double bed sat happily in the middle of the room, windows let in the warm L.A sun, thick curtains strapped back framed the clear windows. You could see yourself living here easily. 

"This is beautiful!" You gasped, started to walk around, before sitting on the soft bed. 

"Oh this is nice." You groaned, feeling the bed dip as Tyler sat beside you.

"Long day?" He asked, you nodded. 

"Very." You let your eyes slip closed, a soft smile on your face. This was the happiest you'd been in awhile.

Tyler made you feel at home, and offered to let you stay and recover from your busy day. He was sweet and kind, and extremely good looking. You could see yourself living happily here.

After bidding farewell, and thinking of Tyler the entire walk back to your apartment, it was about a week before Tyler text you again.

FROM: Tyler apt.

Hey, Y/N! Rooms all yours :)

A huge smile broke out on your face, you couldn't help but giggle and kick your feet in happiness. It was a dream come true.



This is actual trash and I hate it. 

This too far too long to produce and I'm so sorry. I'm off to write up the other requests I promise!

Ed Sheeran just released ÷ and I'm so involve with every single song.
