Unexpected

The First Time

Tom and Melody's kiss was interrupted by the sound of the front door slamming shut with force.

"I gather it didn't go completely to plan then?" Tom joked, making Melody giggle and kiss him again. Despite how hard it was to break up with Alex, it now felt as though a huge weight had been lifted off of her shoulders. She was now free to be with Tom, grow old with him and have adorable little Hiddlebabies. Melody giggled at her last thought, she could t believe she called them that name!

"What's so funny you?" Tom laughed between kisses. Melody blushed hard, knowing full well she couldn't tell Tom what she was laughing at. Suddenly she panicked and tried to think of something funny, then out of nowhere, one popped into her head.

"I was just thunking about the day we met" she snickered as Tom made his way down her neck. All of a sudden, he remembered and laughed into the crease of her neck.

"It was funny for you! But looking back, I see the funny side now" he said, bringing his head up to face Melody, still laughing his 'ehehe' that Melody found incredibly adorable.

It was the September of 2005, Melody and Fran had just moved into their room at RADA. They made sure not to get too settled in, seeing as they'd have to find their own permanent place after their first year. The halls were packed full of first years, scrambling about with boxes of their belongings and suitcases bursting at the seams.

By 5 o'clock, the halls were empty and quiet, apart from the occasional person walking past. Melody had finished unpacking her clothes into her closet when she heard a knock at her door. Fran had gone out with some old friends so Melody was alone. She walked slowly over to the door and pulled it open gently, sticking her head around. Her eyes shot open wider when standing before her, was a completely naked Tom. Of course he covered the essentials, but Melody could tell he was struggling to keep it all covered up.

"I couldn't possibly borrow a towel and your bathroom for a while could I?" He asked politely, and also rather nervously. Melody blushed and tried to avoid looking at his barely covered areas.

"Of course" she snickered, covering her mouth so he couldn't tell she was smiling.

"Thank you ever so much... uhh?" Tom paused to ask her name.

"Oh! Melody" she smiled then closed the door and led him to the bathroom. Due to Tom having to cover his junk at the front, Melody got a glance at his bum before he closed the bathroom door.

"There's a what in our bathroom?!" Fran shouted down the phone to a giggling Melody, who was still blushing at the sight of the stranger in her bathroom.

"Oh Fran he's so cute! and that bum.. damn! you need to get home now, if you want to see him. Words can't explain how gorgeous he is Fran!" Melody half whispered half shouted so that he couldn't hear her. Suddenly she heard the door handle move. "Fran.. I .. I..havetogohe'scomingoutseeyoulater bye!" She finished and hung up quickly.

"Uh.. hi" he said quietly, a towel wrapped around his waist loosely, Melody had to avert her gaze, or think of something to distract herself.

"Wou- would you l- like a drink?" She stuttered taking her mind off of what was beneath her towel... never will she wash it again.

"A cup of tea would be wonderful, but if you don't have any then a glass of water will do" he had perked up slightly, no longer as shy as he had been.

"You're in luck." She called from the kitchen. "I never got your name by the way" she finished, poking her head around the door.

"Thomas! my name's Thomas Hiddleston. But my friends call me Tom" he stood from the sofa and walked over to Melody, shaking her hand. "Would you like a hand with the tea?" he asked, holding onto the towel tightly. Melody giggled.

"I think I'll be fine, you sit down and make sure you're all covered up" instantly his other hand shot to his waist gripping onto the towel next to his other hand. He chuckled, nodded and returned to his space on the sofa, his blonde curly hair bouncing as he walked.

Melody emerged with two mugs of tea in her hands and placed them down on the coffee table in front of Tom, she then took a seat on the spare part of the sofa beside him.

"So Tom, what brings you to my room?" she joked although she did desperately want to know why he'd been standing naked at her door. His cheeks went a crimson colour and he pulled the towel tighter around his waist.

"Well umm.. I was showering in the communal showers and was happily halfway through washing my hair when I heard two second years walk in. At first I thought nothing of it and continued, then I heard snickering and the showers suddenly went very quiet. I was curious at the silence and poked my head out from the shower curtain. Only to find the two plonkers had stolen not only my clothes but my towel too." He covered his face with his hands and looked over Melody through the cracks between his fingers. Melody couldn't hold back any longer, within seconds she had broken down into a fit of giggles.

"I'm.. I'm sorry.. but tha .. that's hilarious" Melody said as she tried to get her breath back. Then she suddenly snorted, sending Tom also into a fit of laughter. Twenty minutes later, the two were still bent over double, now laughing at whatever was funny at the time. Melody had discovered Tom's 'ehehehe' laugh that just caused her to start snorting and giggling all over again, which of course set Tom off again.

Their laughing fit was interrupted by Tom's phone going off, because his room mate had text him saying he was back in the room and asking where he was. To add to the funny part of the story, Tom had mentioned that he also had left his key in his room, locking himself out, hence why he had to seek cover in Melody and Fran's room.

"Thanks so much for letting me stay Mel, I've had a brilliant time getting to know you. We should definitely do this again... when I'm less naked" he finished with his adorable 'ehehehe' making Melody's stomach flip.

"Yeah, it has Tom. Thanks for getting your clothes stolen so we could meet" she chuckled lightly looking down at her towel that was still wrapped around his hips. Her cheeks went slightly pink and she averted her gaze back up to his deep blue eyes. "oh and take your time returning the towel, I have plenty" she finished as they both stood up from the sofa.

"It will be returned in due course! thank you again for allowing me to use it! I shall see you soon?" although the last question sounded more like a statement, Melody nodded anyway.

"Get home safe Tom" Melody whispered as they got to the door. "it was great meeting you... despite your situation" her took hold of her hand, brought it up to his mouth and kissed her knuckles lightly.

"It was a pleasure Mel" she reciprocated his kiss, placing it softly on his cheek reaching up onto the tips of her toes to do so.

Melody snapped out of her reminiscent memory when she felt Tom's lips planting a line of soft gentle kisses along the line of her neck. He'd known exactly what she had been thinking about, when he spoke softly into the crease of her neck.

"I had a huge crush on you from that moment you snorted you know" he mumbled into her skin.

"My crush started when I opened the front door" She whispered into his ear, then nibbled his earlobe, causing Tom to let out a quiet moan.
