I huffed out a sigh of exhaustion before grabbing the box carefully from the bottom and lifting, I rushed inside and pushed passed my brother almost hitting him with the corner and possibly giving him a bloody nose.

I set the heavy box down on the floor of my new bedroom with a thump; quickly after, I started to stretch my arms and pop my knuckles hoping to distract myself from the pain coursing through my forearms and thighs right now.

I groaned before hearing footsteps behind me, I instinctively moved out of the way as my brothers friend walked into my room after me and stacked another heavy box on top of the one I had just placed

He then turned to me and gave me a friendly smile, his curly hair was a little messy now "..well that was the last box, by the way I'm nick it's super good to meet you" he reached his hand out to me

I shook his hand firmly and gave a friendly smile back "im y/n, it's good to meet you nick"

His gaze lingered on me for a moment in thought as our hands parted and he placed his hands on his hips with a subtle sigh "honestly your brother is so weird, I don't know why he was in such a hurry to unpack your shit when we have like all day.. I didn't even get to introduce myself until just now which is ridiculous"

I let out a small breathy laugh at his words causing his smile to widen "yeah I know, I've grown up with that freak always at my hip.. he's a unique one"

He let out a laugh at my comment and we chatted while walking back outside to my little brother, he was talking to this other guy I hadn't seen until now
"Hey Isaac!" Nick yelled out causing the good looking man to turn, a smile spreading across his face as if it were a disease

I threw an arm over my brothers shoulder and tugged him down to my height (he was only like two inches taller stfu) and I gave him a nuggie, rubbing my fist aggressively against his head causing him to let out a yelp "good to see you Lareman"

I laughed before letting him go and looking up at this so called Isaac, and jesus was he taller than I realized.

"Isaac this is my older sister y/n.. as you can see she's really mean to me" larry spoke with a fake saddened tone

"Oh don't be a baby Larry it's just an older sibling thing, right y/n?" The tall man placed a hand on my shoulder, as I was about to respond with something sarcastic I felt an arm swing around my shoulder as nick pulled me into his side

"Woah buddy.. back off, y/n is my best friend okay? Not yours" nick spoke with sass, holding a finger up in the air

I laughed covering my mouth with my hand trying to stifle it "when was that established?"

His response was cut off by a loud smack "hey! Get your hands off my fuckin sister man!"

Larry had slapped his arm in which it quickly retracted afterwards, nick rubbing the red spot and shaking his head with a roll of his eyes, Isaacs laughter echoing in my driveway

I plopped down onto this big bean bag in their living room face first and let myself melt into it with a sigh of relief, I'm so tired..

I could've fallen asleep but I was snapped from my thoughts hearing running down the steps, I turned my head to see who it was as the other guys watched from the kitchen behind me

The person I saw seemed extremely giddy, the rest of them were well built but- this guy not as much, although that's not a bad thing he still looks like a sweet guy, I started to get up to go and introduce myself-

"Hey daddies, what we gathered for?"

Sweet? I misjudged this guy so hard.

I laughed at his comment and so did the others, he turned at the sound of my laughter in confusion and his soul practically left his body when he realized there was a guest "oh shit.. my bad.."

I got up fully and walked over to give his hand a firm shake as Larry spoke "that's my sister y/n, she's our new neighbor.. y/n this is tanner"

I gave him a friendly smile and he gave me a sheepish one, his cheeks red in embarrassment from his words a few moments ago "sorry about that, it's nice to meet you y/n"

"It's nice to meet you too tanner" I laughed a little as our hands parted and I turned to the others, Isaac was getting a glass of water at the fridge and nick was whispering something to him while leaning against the counter, probably small talk; Larry was stood beside me and tanner.

"What the fuck is wrong with you guys? Y'all are loud.." my head snapped in the direction of the monotone yet attractive voice, his voice was raspy sounding like he'd just woke up

He looked like it too, his low gaze landed on me and you could subtly see surprise flash through his expression before he reached a hand out to me "oh hey, what's up I'm yumi.. or Blake but- don't call me that actually it's weird.."

I shook his hand firmly and he gave a tired attempt at a friendly smile whilst rubbing his eyes with his other hand "she's our new neighbor, AND! My sister, so no funny business.. that goes for all of you!" Larry screamed the last bit in one of those stupid high pitched screams he always does.

The guys all groaned out agreements, besides yumi.

He stayed silent and simply stared at me for a moment, our hands still together for a moment before he seemed to catch consciousness as I stared at him awkwardly and he pulled his hand away as well as averting his gaze.

I turned back to Larry who squinted at me and stuck out his tongue causing me to roll my eyes and cross my arms.

Larry then started to sort out who was doing what today, it was still sort of early- well it was 1PM and I was so tired, the problem was my bed wasn't getting here until later in the day so I'd have to stay at their house most of the day.

Almost as if my brother read my mind he yelled causing them all to shut up with their conversations "hey! So.. me and nick are taking naps because we woke up early to help y/n, and if tanner and Isaac are going to be recording.. that leaves yumi"

"..What? Uh... I think I'm just gonna sit and edit some videos.. why?" He questioned stretching his arms over his head with a yawn

"It's settled, everyone go about your days, y/n will nap in yumis room while he edits his videos.. no funny business." and with that they all agreed and began to head to their rooms

It didn't quite process in my tired brain but by the time it did they were all upstairs already "..wait what?.. I'm what?.." I really don't want to bother any of them, I'd rather sleep on the couch

I turned to my left rubbing my tired eyes with a yawn, yumi was still next to me and upon feeling my gaze on him he met mine, I noticed his droopy eyes and fluffy hair as well as the pretty brown color of his iris's.. he also had eyebags but they oddly suited him.

And.. tall...

"..Take a picture it'll last longer" he teased with a subtle smirk.. I was staring..

"Oh shit sorry.. im just really tired.." I made the excuse and he rolled his eyes playfully before walking ahead and up the stairs, motioning for me to follow

I followed closely behind and into his room as he pointed to his plain looking bed "there, nap away.. I'll try to be quiet but I doubt I'll make any noise anyways"

"Oh.. uh thanks.. this isn't a bother right?.. I mean- i could totally sleep on the couch-" I stuttered out, why was I stuttering?

I was cut off as he turned and his alluring gaze locked into mine again with a 'really?' Look, he rolled his eyes again and sat at his desk, his eyes following me.

"Nah you're all good man.. plus, Larry would probably smother me in my sleep if I let you sleep on the couch" he gave a friendly smile

I hesitantly nodded and got into the bed, snuggling under the surprisingly comfortable covers, my head on his pillow as this- sort of- random guys scent engulfed me, although he did smell nice.

My eyes opened softly for a moment to see him glance at me with his head resting in his palm with his elbow on his armrest of his chair, his expression nonchalant which for some reason made me feel things "..comfortable?.. do you need anything?"

I nodded at the first part and shook my head at the last, struggling to keep my eyes open, he nodded at my responses before spinning around and beginning the type on his pc.

The sound of the keyboard and the oddly comforting smell of this pillow lulled me to sleep in a matter of seconds.
