Neighbor!Roy who spots you moving in one lazy afternoon, struggling to carry in all your boxes with a determined sort of focus that makes him smile a bit without realizing. Who offers to help you bring everything up to your apartment so you don’t wear yourself out even if you seem to sort of have it handled. Hell, he can’t just watch a lady struggle even if she seems determined to see her task through. He makes idle chit chat with you the whole time, cracking lame jokes that makes you snort softly and yeah, sure, maybe he flexes a bit more than he needs to when he helps you carry in something particularly heavy. Not his fault he wants to look a little good in front of a new pretty face.
Neighbor!Roy who always waves good morning to you when you’re rushing out your front door for work and he’s rushing out with Lian to get her to school. Who can’t help but be endeared by the way Lian always falls into conversation with you so easily while the three of you stand cramped in the elevator together. Who lets his gaze roam over your pretty, spotless professional clothing while you’re busy chatting up Lian. Who can’t help but like it more when he catches you in your sweatpants and tank tops when you’re not working, when you’re running errands or heading down to check your mail. That’s probably his favorite look on you. Messy hair and comfy clothes that make you look all soft.
Neighbor!Roy who invites you over for dinner once or twice a week because Lian loves you and he knows it’s just you in that apartment across the hall. Who has to chase you out of the kitchen when you try to help cook because he’s not about to invite you over and put you to work. Absolutely not. He busies himself with making dinner while he listens to the sounds of you helping Lian with her homework or humoring her playful hyperactivity with delighted laughter of your own. And if it makes something warm and sappy feeling well up inside of him, that’s his business. He lets you help clean after dinner but only because he learned very quickly that you’ll do it anyway, even if he chases you out of the kitchen a dozen different times. He allows you to wash the dishes while he puts leftovers away and yeah, sure, he always pushes a container of leftovers into your hands when you leave so that way, he’s sure you have something filling to eat. (He made extra on purpose for this exact reason, though he’s sure you figured that out after the fourth time). And hey, it just means you have to come back to give him his Tupperware back afterwards.
Neighbor!Roy who can't keep his eyes to himself whenever he catches you coming home from the gym. Those tight work out leggings and tank tops make him feel hot all over and make his fingers twitch with the need to touch feel touch feel. He likes to linger in the hall with you if he catches you on your way in, chatting you up for a bit and fighting the urge to just let his eyes roam over you. Fighting the urge to reach out and get his hands on your ass or those delicious thighs.
Neighbor!Roy who feels like such a perv when he ends up jerking himself off in the shower later, mind filled with images of your tight leggings and charming smile and gorgeous eyes. Who can barely look at you the next day because he feels so dirty, but it doesn't stop him from thinking about you the next time he fucks into his own hand. Or the time after that. Or the time after that.
Neighbor!Roy always fixes things in your apartment. A busted kitchen cabinet door? Handled. A new dresser you need help putting together? Absolutely. Any excuse to see that soft little smile of gratitude on your lips. And yeah, maybe he brings Lian sometimes, so he has an excuse to not make you lift a finger while he works, content to listen to you and Lian laughing and playing in the other room. But maybe he likes it best when it ends up being just you and him in your apartment, talking and laughing while he fixes whatever needs fixing as he tries to convince himself there's no way you're looking at him the same way he looks at you.
Neighbor!Roy who's fixing that one shaky leg on your kitchen table when you emerge from your shower, having left Roy to work so you could shower off the gym sweat. Who can't tear his eyes away from you when you look like that, hair still damp while you wear nothing but an old t-shirt that barely hides the panties beneath. No pants. No shorts. Jesus Christ. He tells himself to get a grip, that you're probably just really comfortable around him and he doesn't want to ruin that. But then your hand trails over his shoulder while he tries to focus on what he's doing and all restraint goes out the fucking window at your soft, tempting words:
“Wanna take a break, Roy?”
Neighbor!Roy who eats you out right there on your couch until you're squirming and crying, his lips and chin soaked with your slick as your hands tug at his hair, your back arched so prettily off the couch. Who drags his tongue over your soaked cunt and flicks it over your clit just to feel the way your hips jolt in his hold and your thighs shake around his head. Who doesn't hold back his own groans as he tastes you, as he licks you through your first orgasm only to press two fingers inside your needy pussy.
Neighbor!Roy who can't look away as he fingers fucks you. Who kisses at your neck and your chest and any part of you he can reach as his fingers curl against that spot inside of you that makes you gasp and whimper, his own cock so fucking hard in his jeans. He can't get enough of the slick, lewd sounds of his fingers fucking into you, can't get enough of your already sensitive clit beneath his thumb as he works you through a second orgasm.
Neighbor!Roy who fucks you like it's all he knows how to do. Hands tight on your hips as his hips roll, cock slamming into you again and again. His own breaths coming in soft, ragged gasps as your lips press against his neck, as your nails drag down his back and your thighs lock around his hips. He's almost drunk off the feeling of your cunt around his cock, off the sight of your tits bouncing with every sharp thrust of his hips. Soft praise leaving his lips, breathless and needy and hot.
“So fuckin’ good, baby.”
“Takin’ me so deep. Can't get enough of you.”
“Pussy feels so good, fuck. Never gonna get tired of this.”
Neighbor!Roy who's absolutely obsessed with you. Every fucking inch of you, every part of you. Who fucks you like you're his filthiest fantasy. Who kisses you so sweetly any other time. Who looks at you like you're everything he's been needing in his life as you slot so easily into it.
