“Yea, for sure. You look like a nice guy. Rent will be pretty affordable with both of us paying.” His excitement was showing. “Want to come and look at the place?”

“Thanks” Normally he would ask why he thought Ashton looked like a nice guy, but he didn’t want to seem not-nice. “Sounds great. Yeah, let’s go look at it. Do you have pets?”

Tommy smiled to himself. He thought it was pretty obvious that he was a tad infatuated with the guy in front of him. He never really was good at this kind of thing. He usually stuck with ‘hook ups’ they were way easier. It prevents him from embarrassing himself like he just did. He willed his blush away and gained control of his composure. 

“I was distracted by your beautiful eyes” he smiled as he brushed it away with his hand. “So are you still looking for a room to rent?”

He wasn’t the best at picking up signals. But its also not like he tried his best to. Completely unaware of how his words might’ve made the other guy feel. “I didn’t realize they could be distracting” Ashton replied. He knew a normal person would say thank you for the compliment. Mainly focusing on the distracting part, rather than the compliment. “I am, until I’ve officially found a place. I am seeing someone’s place later, and another man in boxer briefs offered.” He explains, in the monotone voice he usually spoke. “Did my eyes really distract you?”

“I have a pretty large apartment. I have a sexy stud staying in one of my rooms. I was using the other room as a small gym but I will be more than happy to let you stay … as long as you’re okay with me walking around in boxer briefs every now and then.”

He blinks as he tries to process all the information he’s just gotten, and a simple “Oh” is let out. Mostly because he’s thinking about how this guy’s apartment is big enough for a work out room “Okay” A pause “You’re going to give up your home gym for me?”

“I’m sorry.. roommate question?” Tommy asked as he shook his head free of whatever trance he seemed to have fallen into. As much as he would like to deny it; he was a sucker for a beautiful smile. Had the guy been looking for a room to rent of was he looking for someone to rent a room at his place? “I must have blanked out for a moment. I blame you,” he chuckled. “Are you looking for a room?” He asked. 

Ashton stares blankly for a moment, trying to decipher what just happened. It is entirely possible that he only imagined asking Tommy about a roommate. It wouldn’t be the first time this has happened. He’s about to ask again, when he hears the other blame him “Why do you blame me?” he asks, not catching the joke

“My roommate just got married and I have a room available. My apartment isn’t glamorous but it’s pretty nice and has a balcony with a nice view of the park.”

“I don’t need anything glamorous. I’ll take it... if you’re offering” He nods “I just really need a place to live” 

[theashtonmarchetta]

xiaowenjun​:

“Is that a good idea?” Was it any of his business? No. But crashing with an ex never sounded like a good plan.

Gives a lazy shrug, unsure himself. “We’ll see. Haven’t talked to him since.” 

[theashtonmarchetta]

chi-town-tommyrowe​:

For as much confidence as he had in himself, Tommy couldn’t hide the rose hue that colored his cheeks. Not only had he confused the guy, who lived in town for the past two years, as a new come but it happened during a on. He cleared his throat and willed the blood away from his cheeks. “It’s a pleasure all the same, Ashton,” he said with a sly smile. His confidence having regenerated already. “So you’ve been in town for the past 2 years huh? That can still be considered new, right?” He said with a light chuckle.

“I guess, I don’t know” Ashton gave a small shrug, hardly noticing the man’s blushing cheeks. He supposed different people would have different opinions on what made someone new to town. He pulled the backpack further up “Uh, nice to meet you, too” A pause “So, I take it that’s a no to the roommate question?”

[theashtonmarchetta]

chi-town-tommyrowe​:

“You new in town?” Thomas asked with a smile as he looked at the stranger who openly asked if anyone was looking for roommates. His friend had just moved out to live with his boyfriend and he was looking to rent out the room. “I’m Thomas,” he said as he extended his hand.

“No.” He replied, pausing a moment. “I’ve lived here for two years.” He replied, slightly confused about why he would look like a newcomer. He didn’t always make connections the way others did. “Ashton.” 

[theashtonmarchetta]

xiaowenjun​:

“I don’t, but I sometimes imagine what it would be like to have one. The only roommate I’ve ever had has been my cat, if we’re not counting my ex occasionally sleeping at my place. I can keep an eye out and see if any of my tenants are looking to sublet, though it would help knowing your budget since they are luxury apartments.”

He is a little taken aback by the wordy response, as he only expected a simple yes or no. He’s not used to conversing with people. It’s clear on his face “Uh.. Not luxury” That’s his budget. A pause “But you gave me an idea, I’ll just ask my ex to let me crash”

heikkibun​:

“My sister does live in the neighborhood. The only thing is that I hope you don’t mind kids or cats. She has a cat, and sometimes she watches my kids at her place when my husband and I are working or out of town.”

“Oh.” He pauses. “Kids are ... not my thing. They’re hard to be around. I guess I’ll keep looking. Thanks, anyway.” 

[theashtonmarchetta]

heikkibun​:

“I could see if my sister is looking for a roommate. She’s the only one I can think of right now.”

"I’d appreciate that. Does your sister live in the neighborhood?” 

[theashtonmarchetta]

“So... know anyone that’s looking for a roommate?”

Andy was relieved to hear that his roommate would be willing to go. At least that’s one person in the audience he knows that came for him. “No you don’t really need to do that. It’s good enough that you agreed to come.” He said in response to the question. He wondered where the question came from as it seemed so sudden but he just thought it best to keep the ordeal casual and avoid any further awkward interactions between the two.

"Okay” He gave a small nod “do you usually do this kind of thing? The performing thing” There was a lot he didn’t know about his roommate yet, but just because he usually seemed uninterested in things, didn’t mean he actually was. Well, most of the time, but he wanted to get to know the guy he lived with. 

[theashtonmarchetta]

andy-zhang​:

Andy certainly did not know how to respond to that so he just stammered for a couple of seconds before nodding along, “I uhh yeah, I suppose? It’s just, it’s kinda like my first big event and it would mean a lot to know there are familiar faces in the audience. I mean, it’s fine if you had other plans but just pleas consider it?”

“Okay. I’ll go.” he supposed he could just hang out in the back watch everything. Which is what he usually did at these things. He’d never been asked to go anywhere for support though “Do I take flowers or something? I don’t know how this works” flowers is what they gave him at his graduation which didn’t make any sense to him because he’d always thought flowers were sent for someone’s death.

[andy-zhang]

“Hey, so uhm I know it’s probably a little late but tomorrow is Valentine’s Day and I’m gonna be performing at the this event so you know, if you can please drop by? It’d mean a lot to me.” He paused for a moment before adding, “you can bring your date too, I promise I’ll even sing you two a song for your troubles.”

[theashtonmarchetta]

“I wasn’t aware my presence meant that much to you” His voice is monotone. He takes a pause, realizing that this event means a lot to Andy, even though Ashton can’t wrap his head around why “Oh, you’re looking for support and encouragement?” 

[theashtonmarchetta]

What do you look for in a guy?

“I don’t look at guys. However, if you’re curious about my type, see Cliff Pantone from Bring It On.”

His drinking had been getting out of hand the last several weeks, it had always been like this at this time of year. Tamsen lost track of how much alcohol had been consumed in the previous hours or the pills he had been popping on top of it all. The bartender was getting antsy with him, as was probably everyone else that was in the club that evening.

Tamsen had talked the bartender in letting him buy one last shot, downing it was ease. When they had walked away, he turned to the person at his side and gave him that signature puppy-eyed look. “Want to buy me another drink?” He cooed, smirking up at them.

[theashtonmarchetta]

Ashton didn’t usually go to bars, but he decided to do something different today. It was only a couple minutes before tamsen turned to him. “No” He answered flatly. He’s unaffected by the puppy-eyed look and it just makes him stare at tamsen. He doesn’t get it “why are you doing that?” His voice is nonchalant and monotonous. The bartender brought his drink, but he’s still staring at tamsen.
