You lived next door to a really sweet man, his name is Carl. You knew he had a male go over and help him with his needs, you usually saw him when he takes Carl out the house for a quick stroll down to the bus stop and back.
He was great, always smiling at you and saying hi whenever he had the chance to and as carl would, he would tease the poor boy about liking you and vice versa. You couldn’t tell if he did or not really, you two hadn’t even talked properly, just small talk and looks passed one another's way.
You were walking out your front door, bringing your tote bag with you ready to fill it with shopping that you were going out for. You made sure you had everything you needed with it: wallet, keys for the door, your phone, everything was in perfect place.
You smiled to yourself, “I’ve got everything, good.” You walk around the corner and suddenly bump into a tall man, nearly falling over but you take it as he had caught you, feeling a muscular arm around your waist and holding you upright.
You looked up to see the same man who goes to Carl’s but much closer to you now. You admire his features, seeing an LED on his right temple, being a bit surprised that he was an android and that Cyberlife would make an android as handsome as this. Beautiful, soft skin and gorgeous eyes.
“Woah there,” He chuckled, snapping you out of your trance, lifting you back up onto your feet while you blushed profusely. “I am so so sorry- i didn’t mean to knock into you there, i promise. I know you need to look after Carl, don’t you?” You asked him softly as he gave you a small nod in response.
“Yeah, I do. He can wait a couple minutes though I'm sure, he’s usually still asleep by the time I'm there.” You laughed at his words and rubbed your hands together nervously, “Um.. is it alright if I ask for your name? I’ve noticed you quite a lot and wanted to ask you your name.”
“My names Markus, yours?” Markus smiled and looked at your choice of wear, then to your face, which was the most gorgeous face he's ever laid eyes on before. He smiled to himself and cocked a brow as you said your name.
“Y/n, is it?” You nodded in response to his words, “How pretty. I like that name.”
“I like your name too, its unique.” You smiled and noticed he had some paint hooked under his arm, “Needing to bring some paints to Carl?” “Yup, he’s been wanting these for a while now since he’s running out on some paint, thought I'd treat him and get them for him.” He smiled at the thought of seeing how happy Carl would be about a new paint set.
“Do you enjoy painting too or just watching him?” You asked softly as you bring your attention to his face again instead of the paints. “I do paint, Carl usually gets me to but i always tell him that i can’t really draw what i want to, I'm just an android so i don’t have a lot of thoughts about what i want to paint, you know? buttt, if i don’t have much to do, i watch Carl paint some things and make sure he doesn’t injure himself.”
“I totally get that, you’ve got nothing to worry about. I bet you’re a good painter though, maybe Carl would invite me over sometime and I can see.” You giggle at the thought and Markus nods, “I can ask him about it. Anyway.. I hope I'm not holding you up, you have a bag with you with some stuff in, going out to meet friends or?”
“Oh! No no, I was about to go shopping but I bumped into you. Saying that.. I'll need to go, we can talk more tomorrow can’t we? If you’re seeing Carl.” “I am seeing Carl again tomorrow so you’ll be seeing me, you live just next door to him right?”
You smile, “I do, yes! You can just knock on my door anytime you want and I'll let you in, I trust you since you seem like you are taking good care of Carl.”
“I am, and I'll keep that in mind, thank you. I’ll let you go now, see you tomorrow y/n.” Markus smiled at you and waved you goodbye, you doing the same and walking down the road to the shops.
Markus walked into Carls place, noticing him just rolling away from the window. “How’d you get down?” Markus asked the older male, “My son came over a while ago, making sure I was alright, but hey.. enough about me, you two hm?”
Markus smiled at Carl, “What?” “Did you bump into them on purpose?”
“Perhaps?” Markus shrugged, “I read somewhere it works if I bump into someone I want to get to know better.”
“Well, thank god it worked, you two can stop staring at each other through the window.”
