Q Train at night is the last place to meet somebody. It's cramped and it smells awful- the stale air has a pungent mixture of people's sweat who are inconsiderate to take a shower that morning and there's some who are very considerate that even the scent of their one-night stand is still on their body. People are too exhausted from work to be the cheery background characters of a romcom who are always in the brink of a dance break. Charlie knows all of that, he's the epitome of a naturalized New Yorker citizen who sees the city as it really is- fast and bustling. It's doesn't have the Nora Ephron, always-fall season filter Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks (or Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal) sold to the world back in the 90s. But then he keeps seeing you on the same train ride every night. And when you started an unexpected conversation with him during a Friday rush hour that put him into an unexplainable bewitching trance, he's starting to reconsider that idea.

You were late, as always. "Why the hell am I always late?!" You asked yourself grabbing your backpack full of books and running out. There were crowds of people walking around the block so you couldn't run as much as you wanted. But damn it was so late! You started to push people away saying sorry about a trillion times. You noticed your backpack was open and you were risking to looke some papers, so you took it off and started to close it without stopping to run. Finally you passed the crowd so you accelerated. Then you ran into something and fell on the ground. You looked up and saw a man on the phone giving you a questioning look. Best Rankings #1 charliebarber #1 marriagestory #6 pianist #32 adamdriver

Being in a long distance relationship isn't easy. Especially late at night when you've slipped into a depressive episode. Luckily your boyfriend Charlie knows just what to say to make it better. (No Smut. Just Fluff)

Charlie doesn't like LA for a lot of reasons. The barista isn't one of them. _________________ Gender neutral, POC-friendly (Y/n) x Charlie Barber Cross-posted on AO3
