Just Knock On My Door || Mackie Empuerto x Reader

If That's Okay With You

Y/N's POV

I walked back into my new room after dinner, which was quite awkward. Mrs. Empuerto has been nothing but nice to me, but everything just feels wrong. She served palabok (noodles) for dinner which was really good but everything about contact was weird.

I sat next to Mackie, who I met earlier, which was quite nice. He seemed like a nice future friend I could get to know, which would be really nice because I was forced to move away from my old ones.

Mackie really tried, and I mean really tried, to make small talk with me during dinner but I just smiled and nodded. I finished my food before everyone else did and went to wash my plate but Mackie stopped me, saying it was his day to wash dishes. In the process, he grabbed my arm, sending tingles up my spine.

I blushed and insisted I wash my own dish. He looked up at me warily but soon let me go.

And now here I am, laying on my bed thinking about how I will spend the next couple months with these people I just met. I miss my mother. I miss my father. But I already know they don't miss me.

I felt really dirty all of a sudden when I thought about my old room, so I sat up from my bed and walked towards my new dresser where I unpacked all my clothes and things.

I picked out some undergarments, a black tank top, and red and black plaid pajama shorts.

I walked outside of the room and towards the door that Mackie told me was the bathroom. I looked inside before I walked in, making sure it was empty.

I took a quick shower and changed before picking up my toothbrush. A small knock on the door made me jump.

A familiar voice of a boy called out my name, "Y/N? Are you showering?"

I shook my head even though I knew he couldn't see me, "No. I was just about to brush my teeth."

I heard Mackie sigh in relief and after a couple of seconds he finally spoke up, "Is it okay if I can brush my teeth with you, since I already took a shower?"

I didn't answer but instead I looked around to notice guy products and after a little while I realized that we were sharing a bathroom.

"Oh uh, yeah sure Mackie," I stumbled, trying to get my things together. I unlocked the door and opened it to find a tall boy standing in his pajamas.

He looked down at my pajamas and I looked down at his. He was wearing a plain black t-shirt with red an black plaid pajama pants.

He started quietly laughing, which made my stomach flutter. When I realized we were wearing almost matching pajamas, I blushed and soon started laughing with him. Our laughing was the only thing to fill the room. Once we calmed down, there was a calming aura that surrounded us as Mackie scooted towards the other vanity and started to brush his teeth.

I took small glances at Mackie from the mirror. I watched his features and just realized, only after a couple hours of knowing him, how cute he really is. He ran his free hand through his hair as I examined his sharp jawline.

He looked at me in the mirror and I realized I was staring. He winked and I felt my face heat up. I whipped my mind back to focusing on brushing my own teeth.

Mackie finished first and bid his goodnight as he left to his room.

I just finished as he popped his head back into the bathroom and reminded me, "Remember we have school tomorrow, Y/N. I usually walk since it's not too far, so do you want to walk with me?"

I nodded, "Yeah, I guess."

"Great! We'll leave at 8:00, if that's okay with you," he flashed me a bright smile, that I couldn't help but return.
