Polaroid | Tom Hiddleston

five

Tom stared at the home that stood before him. It wasn't entirely large, but big enough to house four people comfortably. Just one glance at its exterior, and he could feel the cozy vibes coming from it.

"Sorry, my place isn't much." (Y/N) rubbed her neck, slightly embarrassed as she knew Tom was an actor, and his home must have been way better than hers. He shook his head, "Don't be. I like it, it feels cozy." He replied as he stepped into the living room. The scent of cherry blossom wafted through the atmosphere as his eyes looked around the room.

"I honestly shouldn't even be telling you where I live, you could kill me for all I know." She joked, and took off her shoes, leaving them next to a small cabinet next to the front door. Tom followed suit, noticing that the floor was extremely clean, not even a single piece of hair or dust to be found on it.

"Would you like anything?" (Y/N) questioned as she walked into the kitchen to get a glass of water. He shook his head, "I'm okay."

Suddenly, he heard a thump come from the floor. He furrowed his brows, asking himself what it was. "(Y/N)?" He called, as the said girl came out, her hair fixed along with a freshly washed face.

"Yes?" She said, suddenly conscious of herself. Was Tom going to criticize her home? Did she look ugly?

"I heard a thump.. And I can't seem to find out where it's come from." He said, pointing to the floor. (Y/N) sighed in relief, as her self-conscious thoughts came to a stop. She giggled at his confusion, causing Tom to look at her even more confused.

"What? Is something on my face?" He asked, reaching up to pat his forehead. (Y/N) smiled, and put a finger her lips. Tom kept quiet, and watched her. She cupped her hands around her mouth and called out, "Carter! Mommy's home!"

When (Y/N) said 'mommy', the thought of her being married and having a child made him feel a tug at his heart. Ignoring it, he watched at the thumps got louder. He looked at (Y/N), as she laughed.

A bunny slightly larger than the average size with caramel-coloured fur ran around (Y/N)'s legs, its little tail shaking in excitement as it approached her. Tom's worries washed away, as he remembered that Carter was (Y/N)'s pet.

She laughed, bending down to pick him up. "Hi baby! Did you miss me?" She said, petting the bunny's head as it purred in delight. (A/N: yes! bunnies do 'purr', search it up!)

Tom was taken aback, all the loud thumping came from a creature that was as big as his dog. "Is.. That a bunny?" He asked, still in shock. She laughed at his reaction and nodded. "Yes! He's a flemish giant to be precise, that's why he's large. Carter's supposed to grow even more in the coming years, he's only a year old." She said, and Carter eyed Tom.

(Y/N) put the bunny down, and it hopped up to Tom, standing on its hind legs to observe the actor. Tom bent down, reaching out to pet it, but hesitated as he knew Carter may not he comfortable with it. Carter moved his head closer to Tom's hand, and he took it as a signal of approval. He ran his hand down Carter's body, the soft fur was relaxing to the touch. Tom smiled, he liked Carter already.

(Y/N) watched their interaction with a phone that captured the entire moment. She giggled, it was adorable to see Tom fascinated with Carter.

Ending the video, she changed her camera's settings. Tom, still being busy familiarizing himself with Carter, did not notice the sound of a camera snapping a photo. (Y/N) smiled, that's something to print for later.
