"Daaaad," Eddie hears his son whine. "I can hear the beeping again."
Eddie groans, shifting around and slides off his bed. He should have known getting an apartment would be annoying. He had no choice, as the rental home had been badly damaged by termites. Its temporary, until he finds something better.
He shuffles out into the hallway and into his son's room where-yep. He can hear the beeping noise. Its loud and right by the wall where Christopher's bed is lying.
"I'll go let them know, alright mijo?"
Eddie grits his teeth, as he shoves slippers on and yanks the door open, heading to his next door neighbor.
He spots a ring camera and stabs it with his finger. He really wants to pound on the door but that would also contribute to the noise making.
He presses it again, and a few moments later the door finally opens. The beeping even more annoying and loud.
Eddie freezes for a moment.
Because he's in some dinosaur slippers, boxers, a white shirt with a hole in it, his hair is a mess and the cutest guy he's ever seen just opened up the door.
The guy is tall. Curly, dark blonde hair that matches Christopher's, blue eyes with a pink splash of color over his eye and his brow. A birthmark.
His lips are red and plump and Eddie wants to be swallowed in a hole right now. He himself looks fucking ridiculous and a slob. Not attractive.
"Uhh-" was all he could get out, before he snapped out of it. Right. The beeping! Your son! "-sorry can you do something about the beeping, dude. My son is trying to sleep and its keeping him up." He is annoyed still that it woke his son up.
The cute blonde scrunches his face. He brings his hands up and--oh.
Oh man, Eddie feels like a dick.
The man takes his phone out and types out a message and turns it to Eddie.
Sorry, can you say that slower?
Eddie flushes. "Sorry. There's a beeping coming from in your apartment. Its loud and my son can't sleep."
Cute blonde's eyes widen.
"Shit." He turns and walks back in his apartment, waving for Eddie to come inside. The guy stands there, a little lost and trying to focus on the sound. His face scrunches. He types out another message.
Sorry, I'm deaf. I didn’t know about the beeping. Can you find it for me?
Eddie smiles and nods. He pokes his head around, immediately looking at the fire alarms but they were fine. The beeping is def coming from the kitchen.
Its when he's walking towards the kitchen when Eddie finds the noise. The microwave. Eddie points to it, the guy tilts his head in confusion.
"Did you put a timer on?"
The guy shakes his head, pauses and gets ticked all of a sudden.
My Ex Bf was messing with it before I kicked him out.
"Nah, its ok. Asshole ex by the way. Trying to get you kicked out like that. Uh, my name is Eddie."
The guy blinks, then smiles. "I'm Buck."
