#so uh maybe im gonna see if i can find a floorplan of this place LOL

[andthebubbles]

sooometimes i wonder where we stayed in canberra when primary/high school took us there for school camps... anyway i was looking at something else when i came across this ~ibis styles canberra eaglehawk, and maybe that’s where we stayed in yr 6?? is there a usual place that all schools book when they take the kids down to canberra lol. orrr i feel like we might’ve gone there for... yr 10 or something (i forgot which year it was). idk, maybe yr 10. if we had smartphones back then i would’ve totalllyyy been interested because i’ve always been interested in where we went/where we stayed, and mapping it out and studying the route/what we’re close to/how long it’ll take to get there, etc. plus, with a smartphone i’d have taken a lottt more photos lol

...........WAIT OMG THIS IS THE SAME FUCKING ROOM

google images:

my pic from 2005 (?):

okay this is the coolest thing EVERRRRRR

and yes we did have that door that went to the other/adjoining room and it had two bunk beds back then

you can see the door here on the left:

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCREECHINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG

(yeah, i really like to track down places from just the photo or whatever lol, it’s like... detective work)

anyway omg this is amazing, now i know where we stayed in 2005!!!!!!!!!

(i slept in the blue bed, my friend in the other one, and yeah those are my shoes poking out from under the quilt thing)

(and the four of them in the adjoining room decided to have a photoshoot dressed in only towels that night (and makeup lol)... and i took the photos... so yes i have like, blackmail material that i’ll never be bothered using haha)

anyway, here’s a photo of a rose from the rose garden outside old parliament house that i took the next day:

canberra got a lot of hate from us back in the day, and i guess it still does now too, and maybe it deserves it, but i guess it really depends what you go for. if you like peace and quiet but with the convenience/services of a city (and dry cold winters (the dryness is more of a problem for me than the cold lol)), then canberra’s the way to go, i guess.

also yeah, not me taking pics of roads since forever lol:

lake george:

in addition to road pictures, i really like old pics and seeing what has changed since then.

anyway!!! that was cool :3 yeah i just liveblogged my discovery lol (and that’s exciting too RIGHT)

#me.txt #i just liveblogged my 'omg' moment #enjoy #LIKE. I'VE BEEN WONDERING FOR 17 YEARS (I GUESS) WHERE WE'D STAYED THAT TIME WHEN WE WENT TO CANBERRA #AND NOW I KNOW #AT LAST #and i REALLY like working out where something is based on just photos... places in sydney/places i've been anyway #or places where like... if i have enough hints from photos/videos then i'll try to work it out #it's not in a stalkerish way i just find it very exciting #// #okay i guess you COULD make an argument for this not being the exact same room #because maybe all the rooms looked the same #so uh maybe im gonna see if i can find a floorplan of this place LOL #/// #now all that's left is to figure out where we stayed in yr 6 lol #i know we were on the first floor and it was the typical motel balcony on the first floor #and the room was odd-shaped. i could draw it even now but not with much accuracy #oh the number of photos i'd have taken if i had a smartphone back then lol

Month one (May): moving into 6B

Summary: You find an ad for your dream apartment and decide to give it a go. Apartment 6B is everything you've ever wanted: high ceilings, an open floorplan, and a 6ft4 grumpy army captain...

Warnings: none, grumpy Sy?

A/N: Im so super duper excited about this!!!! I hope you guys enjoy it and please feel free to leave feedback anytime :) Some of these chapters might be regular fic length while others are gonna be just drabbles. If anyone has a request for this AU please let me know and I'll see what I can do :)) <3

The Sunday paper was sprawled across your coffee table. You had a deep wrinkle plastered on your forehead and a red marker between your teeth as you furiously browsed through the apartment listings. You had been at this all morning. And nothing. You were about to give up, but then another listing caught your eye.

'Looking for a roommate/ apartment 2 bed 1 bath.'

The pictures of the place looked cute. It was close to your job and the rent wasn't too bad, so you called the number.

"Hello?' A deep grumpy voice answered the phone

'H-hi!' you chirped, a little taken aback, 'I'm calling for the apartment, the one from the paper? Do you still need a roommate?...'

'I do.' He stated dryly.

'Great! Could I come over and take a look maybe? I'm free this afternoon, Maybe I could stop by at around 3 or something? I don't know if that works for you but maybe I c-'

'Three works.' He interrupted before hanging up the phone.

Jeez, what a dick.

If the apartment hadn't been so perfect you wouldn't even have gone, but as you looked at the pictures again you decided to risk it just for the kitchen island alone.

You knocked on the door a little uncertain. The realization that you were gonna have to share this beautiful place with that asshole from the phone suddenly settled in your gut and you were beginning to question if it was worth it.

When the door opened your mouth actually fell open a little. You were greeted with a tall, broadly-shouldered man. He looked very... masculine? As much as you hated that description, it seemed to be the only accurate one on your mind.

'Hi, come in.' he welcomed you dryly, taking a step aside to let you in.

He was wearing dark-washed jeans and a dusty old shirt. His beard was on the verge of needing a slight trim and he was sporting a buzzcut. He was very handsome actually. Shame that his attitude hadn't gone anywhere.

'Thanks...' you replied as you stepped passed him and immediately laid your eyes on that gorgeous kitchen.

'Wow, this place is even more perfect than the pictures...' you sighed

He gave you a little tour of the place, barely uttering a word at you. You couldn't tell what he was thinking and you didn't like that, but you were too distracted by the apartment.

You got to where your bedroom would be. The room was not too big, but big enough for you. You assumed he had the master bedroom. You also assumed that would not be part of the tour.

The bedroom you were looking at was empty, aside from some boxes filled with junk and an unmade bed with a dodgy-looking mattress. It was clear this room hadn't been occupied before.

'I moved in a couple months ago, just been using it as storage. You can do with it what you want of course,' he explained. 'You got your own stuff?' He looked down at you. You were both standing by the doorframe and since Sy took up most of the space, you were almost squished against him trying to peek in.

For some reason, you felt so intimidated by his stare. You slithered by him and walked around the room a little, not that there was a lot more to see, but you simply couldn't handle standing so close to him anymore.

'Yeah Yeah I do, my friend's dad works for a moving company, I can ask him if he can take the bed when he brings my stuff up?' You suggested, earning a slight nod and what you took as an agreeing grumble.

'So you'll take it then?' he questioned

'Uh yeah, yes, sir? If you let me?' Christ, why did he make you so damn nervous? And why did you just call him sir?!

You swear you saw something close to amusement flash through his eyes.

'Right.' He responded, 'There is something else I wanted to fill you in on.'

You walked back to the door and followed him as he made his way back to the kitchen.

'I'm leaving for a six-month tour soon, so I won't be home much.'

tour?

'You in a band or something?' you half joked

'I'm in the army.'

Idiot. Absolute fucking idiot.

'Right...sorry' You wished the floor would swallow you whole. 'So when do you leave?

'in 9 days.'

'Oh wow, that is soon.'

"Don't worry about the rent, I'll continue to pay half. I didn't wanna lose this place but It seemed kinda dumb to pay full rent on a place I won't be living in for six months", he explained

Sy turned around and rummaged through a kitchen drawer.

'Feel free to make yourself at home just water the plants and don't touch my stuff.' He said as he turned around and handed you your key.

'Yes, sir.'

Really? Again with this?

A couple days later, you moved in. Living with Sy wasn't much different from living alone. The two of you had dinner together a few times. Well 'together' meaning 'sitting on the same couch and not talking'.

Sy would have some sports game on as he took big bites from his mac and cheese while you took considerably smaller bites from yours and read a romance novel cheesier than your pasta.

You were mostly at work during the day and when you came home you'd go straight to your room to finish unboxing your stuff. Ironic actually, how you were busy unpacking while Sy was busy doing the opposite.

'Is that all?' you asked, staring at his bag. 'Are you sure you have everything? You're going for 6 months right?'

Sy gave you an unamused look.

'It's an army tour, not a girl scout camp.'

'I'll have you know I never took more than one pink trolly to girl scout camp.' You stated proudly, earning another barely amused look from the big grump.

'I guess I'll see you in six months then.' You said, not really knowing how to act. You stared at Sy in his army uniform. He looked good. Strong. Masculin.

Ugh, that word again.

You needed to stop drooling over him. You still hadn't even really figured out if you even liked him. Well, parts of you certainly liked him...

ENOUGH, BRAIN. STOP.

You felt the urge to hug him but opted against it.

'Please don't burn the place down.' He said as he opened the front door

'I'll try.' you grinned.

Sy gave you another one of his unamused looks, which you were starting to think were secretly very amused looks. He picked up his back and opened the door.

'Hey Sy?' you halted him 'Be uh...be careful and stuff.'

For the first time since you met him two weeks ago, you saw his lips curl up a tiny bit.

It was quite unsettling.

'I don't wanna get stuck here paying rent alone.' You added

''Alright, princess, sure thing.'

and with that, he left, leaving you there in your new apartment, silent, alone, and a little...aroused?
