《Special effects | tomholland x reader》Two - someone to live with
Advertisement
After a full day of talking to tom, (Y/N) can finally say she has a friend. She can finally say that she's one step closer to no longer being an introvert. Well, that's what she thought till she got home anyway.
"Evie! I'm back!"
...
"Evie!?"
...
(Y/N) walked to the kitchen to see if she was eating and listening to music with earphones in but there was nothing but a letter.
'(Y/N)
I'm so sorry about what happened. I'm afraid that, because I no longer work with the producers, I can no longer live in the work given house. And I know you won't be able to live alone and I know you won't be able to find a roommate anytime soon so I've taken the task of doing it for you. Before I left as I was a bit late of leaving, I noticed you were hanging around with tom a lot for the remainder of that day so I've emailed him asking if he had a spare room as his house isn't given to him by his job and he only has one roommate I think.
He should being calling you either (depending when you read this note) tonight or tomorrow....or he's already called you and you're really pissed off right now...
Anyway
I'm so sorry...
- Evangeline'
Just as (Y/N) was about to call Evie, her phone rang instead.
"Hello?"
"Er hi. It's tom. I got your number from the email Evie sent me saying you need a place to stay and I am calling saying that I know Evie did this without your permission and I know you are probably mad at her right now but I'm just going to say that I do have a spare room and I am saying that you can move in whenever. Just call me and let me know. Okay?"
"Er, oh. Hi tom. I'm...*sigh* yeah she did this without telling me and I will have to think about it. But thanks."
"Okay that's fine. Well I have I go as Harrison is cooking and I'm really hungry so I need to go steal his dinner. Bye"
"Haha. Bye tom!"
'Fuck!'
"5 year in this job...5 fucking years and suddenly I might have to live with my favourite actor! 5 years to too short a time!"

(Y/N) was freaking out. Luckily no one was home to hear her talking to her self.
She then walked to the living room and put on the only show that would calm her down...friends. She says she relates to mondler. Not just one of them but both. She's very clean and she cooks yet she's sarcastic and makes jokes in uncomfortable situations.
"Tom hasn't met that side of me yet. What if he gets confused and I accidentally hurt him. Nah, he's sarcastic sometimes. He will get it 100% right?"
She starts pacing around the room.
'Fuck fuck fuck, I know I shouldn't be freaking out this much but this has all happened in one day! This is all too much for me'
(Y/N) decides to have a sleep and make the decision when she wakes up. She heads upstairs checking if all windows and doors are locked 8 times and then gets into comfy clothes and gets into bed. She sets an alarm for 17:30pm so that she doesn't miss dinner again.
__________________________
(Y/N) wakes up and looks at the time. She was confused on why she couldn't hear the alarm. She looks at the time
"21:45! Fuck! How many times did I press snooze!"
She ran out of her room, went downstairs and into the kitchen. She looks through the cupboards until she finds some pasta and ketchup...
"It'll do"
She cooks the pasta and puts the ketchup on top. She knows it's too late to eat but she's missed dinner for the last 2 nights and she knows she shouldn't miss it again.
After dinner she goes to the phone.
"Let's hope he's awake"
*ring...ring*
"Hello (Y/N)"
"You sound tired. Did I wake you?"
"Nah don't worry. I was just watching a really boring movie. So what do you need"
"I've made a decision. Can we meet at Starbucks down the road tomorrow at 12:30? I feel too informal saying on the phone"
"Sure. See you tomorrow!"
"Bye!"
*beep*
"Fuck sake! This is seriously happening too quickly. I mean, if you can fall in love in less than 8 seconds then surly you can become friends with someone in less right?"
She headed back upstairs, brushed her teeth and went back To sleep.
________________________________
(y/N) woke up at 11:45 as it doesn't take long for her to get ready. She got changed into some black ripped jeans, a white t-shirt and a oversized jumper. She put some make up on and got her converse on. She was ready by 12:25.

She left her house, checking if it was locked 4 times and then started to walk towards the nearest Starbucks. She arrived at 12:45 and took a seat after realising that Tom was late as well. She ordered her drink and just as it was called out, tom arrived. She told him to wait and she got her drink while Tom ordered his.
"So, what's the decision?"
Tom took a sip of his drink as (Y/N) chucked her cup in the nearest bin. They decided to leave as they kept getting interrupted by fans. Tom said that he loves his fans so so so much but (Y/N) couldn't get her words out so they left.
"Well, I've decided that I will move in with you but I don't know how to move houses as my family did most of the moving for me as I was busy working."
"Fantastic! Well, I can help you! You need to go to the boss and tell him you no longer need to live in their given house and then me and Harrison can help you pack and unpack."
"Oh Harrison! I forgot about him. Have you told him that you may be getting a new roommate?"
"Oh shit no I haven't. I guess it would be a surprise. So how about you come back round mine for the rest of the day so we can plan what room you can have and to tell haz"
"Okay! That's great. I will have to pop home and get my phone charger though as my phone is almost dead"
"Nah it fine. You can use mine"
"Thanks! Listen tom. I've become so comfortable around you so quickly. I'm so glad its you that's gonna be my new roommate!"
"Well, thanks (L/N)"
"Welcome holland"
_____________________________
(Y/N) and Tom get to his house to see that Harrison isn't in.
They walk in, tom letting (Y/N) plug her phone in, and then tom putting on the kettle
"Tea or coffee?"
"Coffee please"
After a while of talking, tom hands you your drink and you get talking about rules.
"So, some ground rules. I'd hate to make you uncomfortable but there are some boundaries"
"Okay, I have to some questions as well so we can just get all of this out the way"
"Listen, I know your nervous (Y/N). I understand that you're not used to this sort of thing but thank you for giving me a chance of being your friend"
"It's fine tom really. I need to try and face my fear some day"
"Okay, right. So, I will just say the rules in a list and then I can ask your questions...
1• if you hear me wake up in the middle of the night, try and talk to me but after two times and no response, just leave me be.
2• when tessa is over, she needs a lot of attention and when me and haz can't take her for a walk, we are going to need you to do it
3• we like to keep things clean so clear up after yourself
Got it?"
"Only three rules? Wow okay."
Tom and (Y/N) go over the questions she asked such as who cooks or how are they getting to work in the mornings and everything gets sorted out. After an hour, haz gets home but doesn't notice anyone. He goes straight to the sofa and puts on some tv. Tom goes over to him as (Y/N) just stands there, only just getting the full effect that she's about to move in with her favourite people. After a while tom gestures her over and she quietly and slowly makes her way to the front room.
"Haz, this is (Y/N)"
"Nice to meet you Harrison"
(Y/N) decides that she is too much of a stranger to call him haz
"Nice to meet you too (Y/N). So, whats happening?"
"Well, haz, I forgot to tell you this last night when me and her sorted this all out but (Y/N) is going to be moving in with us as her roommate has been fired for breaking property and she can't live alone"
"So, we are getting a new roommate?"
"Yeah. I've known her for about 2 days now and although that's a short amount of time, I can say that's she's trustworthy."
"Oh okay. That's fine. That's awesome. Welcome to our house (Y/N)"
At this point haz is stood up and is shaking (Y/N)'s hand. She's still in shock but is trying to sort her self out mentally.
"So, when do you move in?"

The 8th Day
One day life is good. The next day it isn't! The boundaries between... well, whatever they're between.. have shattered! Monsters burst out from cracks in the universe, and reality suddenly begins to function similar to a game -- but not a game that anyone knows all the rules about! Magic is suddenly real, but so are monsters and death! Lots of death!And the worst part of it all? I think we did it to ourselves! We invented video games, and personally I think that great Finger-in-the-Sky picked up a console somewhere and started playing them. Since He liked what he saw, he must've declared, """"On the 8th Day, let there be Game!"But what do I know about it all, really. After all, I'm just """"The Witness"""" forced to observe it all.__________________________________________________________________________Author's Note: There's a lot of tales where characters get stuck in a Virtual Reality. """"Sword Art Online"""", """"Log Horizon"""", """"The Legendary Moonlight Sculptor"""". This is a story told with the premise inverted -- instead of a person from reality going into a virtual world, what would happen if the virtual world instead came to reality?I want this tale to speak about the aspects of the game, as it has affected the current reality, but the focus of the story should never be on the """"reality-turned-game"""" itself, but on the characters and their oh-so-human struggles, personalities, and attempt to adjust and live within the bounds of their new existence. Hopefully this won't just be a story of """"reality turned into a game"""", but instead will be something more meaningful such as a story of the strengths, perseverance, and humanity of man-kind as they try to adapt and face the unknown.*** And, most importantly, I hope everyone enjoys reading it as much as I've enjoyed writing it. ***WARNING: RATED MATURE M[18+] FOR GORE, SEX, VIOLENCE. The apocalypse isn't a pretty place to try to survive in, and neither is every scene in a story trying to describe it.

Adding in [participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] Sean was a chemist on Earth with a lovely family life. Everything was going well, until a group of gods decide to summon him to their world. An unfortunate appearance by the trickster god derailed a normal summoning, and now Sean finds himself in a pickle. Content warning: There will be profanity and quite probably some gore, though the point of the story will not revovle around any gory scenes. I'm also including traumatising content as there will for sure be slavery and rape. The rape will be alluded to and not described, there are other places for that. I think this also explains the grimdark tag.
