Another not!fic from the Tumblr files. Originally posted here.

Okay but I REALLY LIKE the “Scott is the RA” one, like Lydia lives on a co-ed floor and Scott and Erica are the RAs. And they do floor meetings together so everyone is all crammed in the common room, and that’s how Lydia first meets Scott.

She doesn’t pay much attention to him because it’s pretty clear he’s one of those sunshiney good boys who bored her so much in high school, and there are a lot of very attractive distractions sitting around the common room. (Lydia makes good use of those distractions the first semester.)

But maybe something happens, maybe she’s super stressed during finals week or her physics class ends up being much harder than she anticipated or what have you, and there are so many people in the dorm rooms and Lydia just wants to be alone, which is how she ends up in the common room in her pajamas, curled up on one of the couches and trying not to cry.

To her surprise, someone sets a hot mug on the coffee table in front of her.

She looks up to see Scott, giving her a crooked smile.
