《Special effects | tomholland x reader》Sixteen - someone to let down
Advertisement
The next day (Y/N) and tom had to get up and go to work. (Y/N) doesn't really wear make up most days to as she prepares for all the staring and questions about her eye, Tom makes breakfast. It's 5 in the morning and even Tom knows a good full English breakfast is needed.
"Breakfasts ready!!"
(Y/N) headed downstairs, dressed in her favourite central perk crop top, skinny jeans and her black trainers...they're 10 years strong but still going....
She gets to the kitchen and sits down. The plate of food in front of her and the smell hypnotising her...
"Why do we have to go to wooorkk. I'm tired. Can't we have..."
She stuffs some black pudding in her mouth "like another day off?"
"Come on. I thought you loved doing make up?"
"I do, but...okay. Promise me you won't get jealous"
"Why would I ge-"
"Just promise!"
"Okay okay. I promise!"
"Well, Thomas, you know Alex?"
Tom finished his plate and takes yours and his to the sink
"Yeah? The new guy right?"
"Yeah. Well, he kinda sorta maybe likes me. And I know you probably know that because of....you know but I just wanted to formally properly say it out loud. But yeah, he's why I don't want to go to work. He won't back down. When I woke up this morning...I had 4 miss calls and 2 messages from him....every single one from 3:30-3:32am! Two minutes tom! Two minutes!"
"Well, I kinda gathered he likes you but it's that bad?! Do you want me to talk to him?"
(Y/N) walked to the door and got her hat and gloves while tom went to the car. She walked out and locked up...still checking 7 times and then got in the car.

"No no. It's fine tom. Really, I can talk to him. Really, if it gets too much I'll probably tell john and see if he can do anything. But other than that I will just have to talk to him"
They arrive and go to their stations. And of course, (Y/N) was right. As soon as she opened her door, Alex was there.
"Alex. How are you?"
"I'm good. I'm good. You?"
"Listen Alex. Why are you in my room. It's been like this almost everyday. I don't even know how you do it. There's only one key and I have it on me at all times. Please just stop. It's creepy."
"But. I like you and I just want to be there to welcome you. To show you someone is always there for you!"
"Alex. I have tom. Please, I understand this must be hard but I don't like you. Not like that anyway. I don't need you breaking into my workplace. Please, just go back to your own!"
Alex left. Not happy but not sad. She got her stuff prepared and her first actor came in.
"Hello."
"Tom?! Hi! What are you doing here?!"
(Y/N) hugged him
"Well, my usual make up artist, the one I pay for, quit today so, now...you're my official makeup artist now!"
"Really?! Omg!"
Tom sat down as she found the email explaining what happened. She got the stuff prepared and started.
"So, I heard you had a run in with Alex again."
"Yeah. He keeps getting into my room. I think he made a pare key or something. It's creepy. I might have to talk to John about this on break. You can with and vouch for me if you'd like. You'd be great help seeing as you were kinda apart of a certain incident"

"Yeah sure. I'd be happy to. I just...I have been noticing how weird it's getting."
"Yeah. It went from saying how he feels to breaking in to my workroom and filling it will balloons and bears. I don't like it at all."

On their break, they got to johns office.
*knock knock*
"Come in"
"Hey"
"Oh hey guys, what'd you need"
"Hey. This might come to a shock but I'm here to complain about a colleague of mine. Toms here to vouch for me and just to show how bad it is."
"Okay. But first. What happened to your eye? Jesus Christ!"
"Oh, you're the first to ask me. I got into a fight with some guy a a cinema. It's fine. He's not gonna bother us anymore..."
"Wait what..."
"Oh god that came out wrong. No, I meant that he was arrested"
"Ohh, okay good Aha. So, who are you complains about. This is unusual or you?"
"Oh right. I'm here to complain about Alex. He's getting really attached and some how he's getting into my room, he's leaving mrs bears and notes and he won't leave me alone no matter how many times I tell him I'm with tom. It might not seem like a big deal to you I understand that but he's creeping me out and I don't know what to do. That's why I'm here."
"Oh, well that's not good. I'll talk to him. If this carries on then I'll see if I will take action. I will keep and eye on him."
"Thank you so much John."
"That's fine. Have a good day guys"
"You too"
They go back out to see Alex just standing there.
"Alex? You okay?"
John opens the door
"You complained about me? Just becAUSE I WANTED TO BE NICE?!"
"Alex calm down!"
John comes out and stands in front of (Y/N)
"Alex. No need to shout."
"Oh shit it old man!"
"Alex! Do not talk to your boss like that!"
"Oh whatever. I don't care. I'm being evicted. The girl I like just complained about me. I might as well get fired."
"Fine. You are fired. I've seen you smoke on multiple occasion in the no smoking studio, I've seen you steal, break thing on purpose and now you're harassing someone. Your fired! Get your things and leave!"
Alex leaves and then after work, (Y/N) sees him just sitting on the side. To stressed to talk she goes straight to the car with Tom. But makes sure to call John to say thanks.
They go home. Happy that John have them a week off work due to stress and even though it was only 5pm, they both went straight to bed.
"Today has been tough. Glad to have the week off right?"
"Yeah Tom. It's actually is. Something nice came from something horrible and I'm...I'm happy."
"No your not. I know when you're down! What's up?"
"Well...I kinda feel bad. All this bad stuff is happening because of me. Before I came into your life, you had it all right. Now, it's fights upon fights. I'm sorry!"
"What are you on about! Before I met you, my life was full of nightmares and stress and i don't even know what! Now? I have a beautiful girlfriend, no more nightmares, that guy is now in jail, and your now head make up artist. Everything is perfect now! Your just stressed and tired. Let's just head to bed and everything will be fine in the morning. Okay?"
Tom kisses (Y/N) on the forehead and they get comfy and fall asleep.
Both of them. Looking forward to just staying away from everything for a week....

The sadist powers that be have forced him to a new world, now he endeavors to live out every weeb's dream of reincarnation. you know minus the boring parts like fighting for justice. In a world of gods, demihumans, and thankfully succubi, Haruto decides to live the life of his dreams. It's a comedic isekai that should not be taken too seriously. An adventurer in age denial. A man who looks like a pig. The ever present human trash who call themselves nobility. Of course butlers because who doesn't like OP butlers who for some reason stay a butler. A croc that acts like a dog. Tons of one-inch punches in honor of the great one. A tribute to the best waifu. A wide assortment of demons. A lich who is great at kissing butt. It's an adventure slice of life journey and tons of trash talking. I mean how could a weeb not be good at trash talking, have you not read a wuxia before? Currently in the middle of revision, so bear with me on grammar and tense issues. Will be done within this life time.
