Chapter 7 - Neighbor
It was a long day for Remi... well, night technically. His fear of his own power only skyrocketed after his nightmare, or more accurately would be a flashback. He didn't need another reminder of what happened and what he did, it already haunted him. He collapsed on the couch after he returned home from work, letting out a shaky sigh. His soon to be roommate would be coming by that day if everything went to plan. He honestly was questioning if he was ready for this step, but he decided it was too late to back down now. He rolled off the couch, deciding he absolutely totally needing coffee. A treat for himself, of course! Self love was important. He picked up his shades that had been discarded on the counter before strutting outside.
Remi hummed to himself as he waited for his coffee to be ready, watching people come and go. He stepped back to move out of the way for someone to grab their coffee, bumping into someone else.
"Oh my goodness I'm so sorry! I'm such a klutz sometimes, doll" he laughs softly, turning around to face the stranger he bumped into.
"It's no issue! The names Roman, and you are...?" This Roman held out his hand in greeting, bowing dramatically.
"Remi, pleasure to meet ya doll" Remi bows debatably more dramatically then Roman, mocking a hand kiss on Roman's outstretched hand. He didn't go through with with of course, just in case. Remi's name was called for his coffee and he excused himself to grab it, Roman instead following him. They chatted for a while, coincidentally heading home in the same direction. Remi learned all about Roman's roommates, quietly taking mental notes on some activities to do with his roommate. The conversation derailed to Roman's boyfriend, which Remi found absolutely adorable, Remi found himself suggesting all sort of cute ideas for the two to do. They approached the apartments when a light went off in Remi's head.
"Wait wait wait, hold on a second girl. You live here?" Remi inquired.
Roman nodded slowly "yeah...?"
"Oh my gawd we're neighbors! What a coincidence!" And with that Roman's phone went off
"oh, so sorry, hold on a sec."
"No worries! I need to head off soon anyways, later!~" Remi waves goodbye as he headed inside.
Maybe an hour later there was a knock at the door, which Remi happily skipped over to answer, flicking his shades on once more.
"Hey hey hey, look who it is!~" Remi greeted. Dylan just rolled his eyes and shrugs. Remi opened the door wide to let him in, which Dylan obliged to. He had a duffle over his shoulder.
"I have more stuff but I'll bring it over in a span of the week." He explained nonchalantly. Remi nods in acknowledgement.
"Meet our neighbor today. Well, one of them. They seem super chill, only moved in a short while again"
