There you were, wet hair framing your angelic face. Arthurs brain went into overdrive, thinking a million things at once but not being able to process one. Should he act surprised at seeing you in nothing but a robe? Or did he look shocked enough as it was? He hoped so desperately that the reason you came here was that you wanted to lend a hairdryer, but the way you held his timid stare made him feel like you saw right through him.

Your eyes mustered him, he looked disheveled. His locks stuck out in some places while a few stray hairs sticked to his forehead. His lips were parted, face flushed. Half of his dress shirt was tucked into his pants, the rest not. A painfully obvious bulge in pants confirmed your thoughts.

You could either handle this properly, or have you fun with it. Arthur just stood there, not knowing what to say. Hell, there was nothing he could possibly say to make this situation better. His face felt as if it was burning at this point, shallow breaths escaping him as he stared the ground before him. He braced himself, waiting for your reaction, for you scream at him or punch him. And he couldn't blame you if you did. You lifted your hand to move a strand of hair from your face and he flinched, squeezing his eyes shut.

The pity that you felt for him then was inevitable. Of course that didn't give him the right to spy on you, but knowing how just watching you from afar could bring a man to this state made you feel ...powerful. You hadn't been with someone in a while, being busy with figuring your life out, getting adjusted to university and a new town. Of course you had boyfriends before, but those really were, well, boys. Guys your age, while you often felt you got along better with people who were older than you anyway. And frankly, you were filled with pride by how much this man who barely knew you wanted you, a hint of arousal pooling in your stomach.

When you felt that you had given him the silent treatment long enough, you spoke up. „Can I come in?" A smile crept across your face, but Arthurs state of motionless shock almost worsened. He couldn't believe what you just said, furrowing his brows as if he wasn't sure he heard you right. „Happy", a voice called, „Who's there?" God. How Arthur wished that none of this ever happened. ‚As if it couldn't get any worse', he thought. „I, uh, my mother lives here.", he stammered, „I'd.. if you, I don't want her to...". Admittedly, he was talking utter nonsense, but you understood what he meant to say. „Alright.", you said, a knowing grin forming on your features. You shouted the next part of your sentence, just loud enough so she could hear „Hello Ms. Fleck, I'm Y/N, the new neighbor.", you took a breath, "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to kidnap your son for a few minutes. He promised to help me unpack a few boxes."

Pleased with your response you turned, walking towards your flat and motioned for Arthur to come with you. He followed reluctantly, guilt written all over his features.

He tried to sort out his thoughts, attempting to smooth out his hair with his hands. What game were you playing? What did you want him to say?

Carefully he closed the door behind him. Apart from a few boxes being stacked in a corner, your flat looked nice and tidy. Judging from your interior, you must've earned at least a bit more money than him. Again he couldn't help but wonder why you even moved here. "Well", your head turned in his direction, "I don't know how it looks on your end, but...", you walked into your bathroom. Fuck. "It's kind of obvious from here." You knew. All along.

Nervous footsteps made its way into the room, walls still damp from the warm air. You smirked, not that he would've noticed. He looked up slowly and mentally slapped himself. How could he have been so stupid? In the middle of the flawless while tiles over her washing machine it was, a black hole surrounded by several cracks. You leaned over the machine, looking through the hole. You felt his eyes on you as your robe went up your thighs in the process. „I gather that's your bedroom, then?", you asked. "I'm.. Yes. I'm so sorry.", he muttered, „I don't.. I know I shouldn't ha...I don't know what I'm supposed to say." Hopeful and worrying eyes were glued to your form. You felt bad for making him go through this for so long, so you turned around and looked him straight in the eyes. „I never said I minded."
