I got off the plane and walked through the terminal, my eyes scanning around the bustling NYC airport. I had just arrived here in New York, where I'll probably be staying for a couple of months, as I had just gotten cast in this new musical called Hamilton, which is moving to broadway. My eyes landed on my best friend, Emmy, who was waiting for me here at the airport. We were best friends in High school, and she had moved to New York for college, so she's been here for a while.
Her eyes widened when she saw me, "Y/n!!!! I'm so glad you made it" she squealed. "I missed you so so much" I said, hugging her. Someone was standing behind her, and when I got out of our hug, she turned and saw me staring at the man behind her, "Who's this Emmy?" I said curiously.
"Oh that's my friend, Daveed. He's in Hamilton." she stated. Daveed smiled at me, his eyes crinkling at the corners, "what up," he said, side hugging me. I went in for the hug as well, "hey" I said, smiling back at him. "are you going to be in the original broadway cast?" I asked him. "yeeep, I was one of the few lucky ones to be able to actually get to keep my roles." he chuckled. "ohh who're you playing?" I asked, "Lafayette and Jefferson" he said. my eyes widened, "So you have prominent roles! I assumed maybe ensemble." I laughed.
"No no no," he shook his head, his curls shaking, "what about you?" he asked, curiously. "I'm playing Peggy and Maria." I said, excitedly. "ouuhh" he said. I loved his demeanor. I giggled. Emmy was leading us through the airport while we talking here and there about the musical, New York City, and our living situations. when we got to that last topic, Emmy jumped in, and it got very interesting.
"I'm actually staying with Emmy." he said, my eyes widened a bit. I don't know why but that disappointed me. I only knew the guy for about 30 minutes, why was I feeling like this? "yeah he got kicked out by his old landlord...apparently for blasting his own music too loud." she laughed, throwing her head back. I laughed, "you make music too?"
"you know," he calmed down from his shared laugh with Emmy, "im in a band called clipping". "he performs with his shirt off, too." Emmy snorted, looking at him, a laughter again present in her tone. daveed lightly pushed her shoulder with his, and muttered something along the lines of, "don't bring that up," with a very slight smirk plastered on his face.
we kept on walking until we reached a very tall apartment complex, and had to go up 6 levels to get to her apartment. I will be staying with Emmy, oh yeah, and daveed, until I can gather up enough money to find my own place. Emmy unlocked the front door and we all kicked off our shoes and decided to put on a movie and have a movie night. Daveed made the popcorn and gave it to me and Emmy then sat between us.
"these kind of movies make me really tired" I said, yawning. Daveed made himself comfortable next to me, positioning his arm over my head on the back of the couch. My eyes sank, and before I knew it I began drifting off to sleep. "Y/n you're drifting off" emmy said, looking at me from the other side of Daveed, and now so was he. "Should I wake her up?" I heard slight voices in the back of my head. I knew I was falling asleep.
"No no just leave her, it's been a long day for her." Emmy said empathetically. Daveed nodded and pulled the blanket over me just a little more.
EMMY'S POV:
Y/n had officially went off to sleep. I looked at Daveed and giggled, my eyes crinkling as I scanned his face. "Where you gonna sleep tonight?" he asked, calming down from his laugh. "On my bed duh" I said. "unless you want to share?"
"Nah I'll be here" he said, turning off the TV and laying on the other couch, not the one Y/N had fell asleep on. My eyes widened and all of a sudden the air wasn't as warm as it was before. Did I just feel a breeze? I shivered as I gave a, "goodnight" to Daveed and headed off to my room. I did my best and offered him the bed, It's loss if he didn't want to take it!
