Helpful || Shawn and Wendy

det-shawn-campbell:

Earlier that day Shawn had oh so cleverly suggested to help Wendy settle into her new home, just like Autumn had advised him to. Little did Autumn know he was talking about Wendy, her roommate. Shawn took the stairs, two steps at a time, until he reached the correct floor. He didn’t like elevators. It was a pain in the ass when they got stuck. Being Shawn, it was impossible for him to stay in one spot, a confined spot to be more specific, for too long. Let’s just say he had climbed through more than enough elevator shafts in his lifetime. He added a little hop to his step as he walked towards Autumn/Wendy’s apartment. It was a kill two birds with one stone kind of thing. Not only did he get to work on his relationship with Wendy but he also got to know Autumn in his favorite way; without talking to her. A quick look around her apartment should tell him all he needed to know. He made a mental note to take a look at her bookshelf first. It was said that you could learn a lot about someone from their bookshelf.

Shawn stopped in front of their apartment and raised his fist. He knocked a little rhythm out on the door and wondered whose face he would see when it opened. 

Wendy had been so grateful that Autumn had asked her to move in with her. The motel Wendy had been staying in was fine for the first few days, but after spending a little over a week there, she realized just how dreadful sitting in a cramped space was. But Wendy was even more grateful that Shawn had offered to help her unpack. Autumn had already done so much by allowing Wendy to move in, so she didn’t want to ask for anything more – but unpacking her boxes, even if she only had a few, was going to be difficult for Wendy, considering she had never liked settling down in one place for too long. After she had moved the small boxes into her new room, she began slowly and neatly ripping the masking tape off of the cardboard until a rhythmic knock sounded from outside the door. Knowing it was Shawn, Wendy faintly smiled to herself as she rose from her knees and began walking towards the wooden door.

“Hey there, stranger!” greeted Wendy as she moved out of the doorway so he could walk in. “It’s nice isn’t it – this apartment? I’m so glad that Autumn offered me to move it.” She felt as if Shawn didn’t neccesarily want to hear the whole story, her words slightly trailed on after a moment. “But anyways, do you want to unload the boxes or just help me organize all of the stuff?”
