Okay so.... I haven’t been on tumblr since like forever but I had this idea for a Harry fic (that probably no one is going to read) so I started writing the first chapter and decided to post it here. I made it a Harry x Reader so anyone can enjoy it even though Y/N says one thing in Spanish. Anyway, if you like it and want me to post more let me know!
Y/N is tired of paying and arm and a leg for lunch so she looks for a solution but keeps bumping into a cute boy with green eyes
“I swear if I have to pay $14.99 for a salad again I’ll cry” Y/N said as she sat for lunch and slightly wince at how hard she slumped.
“I know but Dice’d is literally the only place we can even afford around here” Magie, her co-worker and friend sighed as she also pulled out a salad.
“I wish I could just make lunch at home but with the hours I work” Y/N frowned as she stabbed a tomato and popped it into her mouth “there’s no time”
Don’t get her wrong, Y/N loved her job despite the long hours but that’s how you make your way to the top. Currently Y/N was just a PR assistant at the reputable a Entertainment PR/Management firm named TEA Unlimited (TEA standing for Top Emerging Artists because if you needed the newest and hottest artists everyone knows you HAVE to go to them)
This had been her goal since she graduated with a PR degree over a year ago. It took sometime and a lot of invitations to connect on ConnectOn but here she was, living the dream she guesses. On the bright side it was getting her one step closer to her career goal, to become a publicist for the biggest artists and hopefully one day start her own management firm (or take over TEA, whichever came first). But for now she had to start as an assistant, the pay wasn’t bad but with student loans, rent, utilities and the price of a 30-day metrocard her paycheck sometimes seemed like an illusion.
Thankfully, as soon as she got the job at TEA she met Magie and-
“I have arrived!” a voice said as Y/N heard the door slam and heels clicking on the floor.
Y/N and Maggie simultaneously rolled their eyes playfully
“Hello sir Collin” Y/N said with a smirk
“Colie” Maggie nodded
“I’m glad you addressed me accordingly darling” Collin smiled at Y/N then turned to Magie with a scowl “unlike SOME people”
Y/N laughed as both of her friends stared each other down. After a few minutes she decided to intervene “What did you get for lunch?”
“McDonald’s” Collin sighed dramatically “Woe is me, the life of a brokie!”
Y/N snickered while Magie rolled her eyes again, this time actually annoyed
“If you won’t have spent your money on those boots” Magie muttered behind her salad as she quickly stuffed a piece of lettuce in her mouth
“I heard that” Collin frowned “What do you know about fashion darling?” he raised a leg above the table to show off the new boot on his right foot
Magie stuck her tongue out “At least I’m not the one eating McDonald’s for the 3rd day in a row”
“As my mom always use to tell me ‘ahora comete el zapato’” Y/N interjected before the petty argument escalated
“What?” they both turned to her confused
“It translates to ‘eat your shoe now’ because you used your food money to buy them”
Magie let out a laugh while Collin huffed
“Whatever” Collin bit into his burger
So as said before Collin’s grand entrance Y/N moved in with Magie and Collin. It’s a “3 bedroom” (they’re literally closets) in Harlem close to the train so they make it work.
“If I keep having to pay an arm and a leg for lunch I swear I’ll go insane” Y/N lamented
“Amen!” Collin slammed his fist on the table
“I second that I guess” Magie shrugged
“Your outbursts are the reason why we pick this time to have lunch” Y/N said as she pointed her fork in Collin’s direction
“You two love it” Collin said as a matter of factly “Plus you don’t have to hear Wanda complain about how no one wants her to be their rep anymore.”
“True” The girls nodded
The trio laughed as they continued to eat their lunch but in her head Y/N wondered how she could solve their problem. There had to be a way.
She can’t even blame Magie or Collin because they’re not even supposed to go in this early.
As she rushes up the stairs to get out of the train she is stopped by a cheerful “Hello!”
Her eyes dart to the source of the greeting and she knows she’s fucked
The woman smiles as her “Would you be interested in joining LunchLad? It’s a meal service and if you take this card you get a 20% discount when you sign up!”
“Uh sure” Y/N nods and takes the card
“Have a nice day!” the woman chirps
Y/N then remembers she’s late and sprints up the stairs. She makes it to her desk with a minute to spare. As she clocks in she remembers the card in her hand.
LunchLad.
She wonders what it’s about. Quickly, she types the link into the search engine and clicks on the first link.
Hm. Maybe this is what she’s been looking for.
Hello again! More Harry is coming in the later chapters (probably the next) I just wanted to set a background. Let me know if you liked it!
