I was looking outside my window,I had a free day today!Im off work but it's raining so...bleh.Maybe I'll just stay in bed and watch the rain pour outside.My apartment is pretty cozy none the less....

Heh there is a person running in the rain.He has a suit case...And he just entered the building.Um...the apartment room across from me is vacant...am I getting a new neighbor?

Aww jeez I have to put up the whole 'nice to meet you' thing even though I'm not that happy to meet them?Ugh...
I should get some coffee...I'm run on coffee.

I got to the kitchen and put on the coffee machine before jumping on the couch.Im stay in my all-in-one Allllllll day today!Its really warm and has pockets with a hood-Just the best!

*Knock Knock*

What?I don't have any friends...Um Delivery?Maybe the landlord...
I lazily slugged to my door and opened it.It was the guy I saw,kinda drenched and out of breath.

"Hello...you are...?"

"Oh...hello love my name is Arthur.Arthur Kirkland.I'm going to be living in the apartment room across from you...Yeah..."

"Well mine is (Y/N)...Um...I'm sorry talking really isn't my thing so I'm...not sure what to say in this situation."

"No it's....quite alright.I'll just go ahead and get settled...nice to meet you."

"Same here."

He opened his door and gave me a pleased smile before closing it.Jeez my social awkwardness hit an all time low just then.*Beep Beep*COFFEE*The substance I need to survive on this planet!

*Takes a sip*

Ahhh!Its truly a mystery why such a perfect blend was put in such a stupid Earth but I'm happy for it.Hmm...Maybe that Arthur guy would like some help unpacking and such.

He has a thick English accent though,and seems very proper.Yes very proper indeed.'Would you like some tea and crumpets with that madam?'I snickered at my own ignorance.

Ok ok for real this time let me go ask him if he would like some help.I knocked on his door and waited."Hello?Oh It's you!Um...is there something you need?"

"No,I was just wondering if you needed any help unpacking."Some sweat dropped off of my head as I took in the situation I placed myself in.First off,I'm in a ridiculous get up.Next,he doesn't have any boxes yet.Finally,I met him like five minutes ago.

I'm going to look like a creep to him!"Um no...I just have my suitcase.The boxes will arrive later...Thanks for the offer though..."
IDIOT.IM SOOOOOOOO STUPID!

"Yeah pfffttt I'm dumb don't worry about it.I guess never mind then?Im going....b-bye."

"Actually...is there a cafe somewhere around here?I wouldn't mind getting a cup of tea..."I almost started laughing,the English dude asking for tea?Its almost too perfect.

"Oh yeah I know one.Here you can relax at my place and I'll get dressed so we can go there together.Deal?"

"Alrighty then."

He politely sat on the couch as I got dressed into some casual clothes."Ok let's do this.Follow the leader!"I grabbed an umbrella and we walked through the rain to my favorite Cafe down the block.Their hot chocolate is the best.

That day was the first time I really had someone to call a friend.Arthur is cool,and we hang out a little.The coolest thing is that he works at the same place I do,the local pub.Im a waitress there and he's at the bar.

Trust me,hearing drunk people do things is the best laugh I can get in my life.Also...Arthur is very talented at making drinks.I'm talking five star,why is working here?I've never asked why he came here either,seeing as he's obviously from England.Or Whales.Or Scotland.Or that giant island above France.

To us ignorant Americans,its all the same.I wonder if he's not from England...that would be an interesting conversation..."(Y/N)?Your spacing out again,are you ok?"

"I'm fine.Just tired."

"But your always tired!Anyway,want to head home?Our shifts are over you know."I just nodded my head and we left together.It is just about winter time now so it was snowing outside.My inner child came out so I scooped a little off a random table and threw it at Arthur.

"What the bloody hell?Oh you'll pay for that!"Heheh...bloody hell...I smiled and I saw his face get a bit red,did I make him cold?"England.Your face is all red.Want some hot chocolate when I get home to warm you up?"

"Hm?Oh yes t-thanks."
Never really heard him stutter...it's just cold right?Just that...the temperature and...yeah...

"Wow your really good at this."

"At what?Making things that come from packets?"

"You know what would go good with this?Some scones."

"Look I'm not the maid British boy."

"*sigh*Please?"

"I'm on it."

We were both sitting on the couch on opposite sides just watching tv.It is pretty late at night but...I'd rather food and tv then sleep if I'm being honest.
The scones were in the oven and I went back over to the couch.For like half a second before getting a blanket to cover us both.

"You know,I'm happy to have a friend like you."

"Really?Im happy I can call you a friend."

"That.Why do you say that?You don't have any friends?"

"No not really...hey but your cool.I never really know what to do in the situations so I just....improvise."

"Hmm....my brother Alfred says that I isolate myself.I don't though,I can be a social person!"

"Why are you listening to him?Who's older?"

"I am"
I squinted my eyes and then left to check on the scones.About halfway done.I also finished my hot chocolate and it was the best as usual.
I looked up at the time and it was already the next day.

"Dang it's 12:10 already?Time does fly when your having fun..."I sighed before returning to the couch and seeing he changed the channel to golf.Golf.Who in their right mind thinks golf is cool?

"Hey.You um changed the channel."

"Yes that's true..."

I saw the remote in his hand so I leaned over to grab it.He moved his hand away and raised an eyebrow at me.By the way they are a bit on the bushy side but....it suits him?Its hard to explain but I overlook it.

"Trying to be sneaky?"He smirked at me and maybe even blushed?"You might not see me as persistent but...I guess now is your chance to learn!"
