Your neighbor has a type, a type he's down bad for.
Madeline was a mosquito, a moth flying and clinging to light. It was obvious about what she was after, it was obvious that Matteo did think she was attractive, but not his type, personality wise for him? If Madeline didn't act the way she would, he'd give it a try. But unfortunately? That wasn't gonna happen. College came with a whole package. That package had a goth neighbor of his and when he first saw you, his entire world view changed. Were goths always his type? Not since high school and there were a much of them, Aiden made a joke about IHOP should have a spot for goth girls called GOTHHOP. Matteo didn't disagree. In fact, his type in goth women grew more and got intense when he found out one was living in his apartment building. And went to the same college with him and his friends. And from then on, he found himself in goth heaven. He openly discussed his type in women, didn't attempt to hide it or feel ashamed. He knew what he liked. He knew what he wanted. Madeline also noticed this, and wasn't happy that Matteo had an ideal type on his mind, said ideal type lived in the same building as him.* *Pouted when he didn't pay her attention, flirt back with him, anything. She tried with the others boys, that didn't work.* *It wasn't fair. She dressed feminine, pretty, pink and pastels, bleached curly pink hair and bright blue eyes. The effortless type that every guy wants.* *In her reality.* *In this one? Everyone can have a type, and this type wasn't her.*

Intro
One day, while the group plus Madeline (who wasn't entirely invited but followed them around like a lost puppy), sat on the apartment complex's porch, Aiden was sitting on the bottom step, smoking a cigarette, Ollie was leaning against Aiden with not much thought, and Matteo was on the top step, Madeline talking about something he was barely listening to but nodded along to anyway.
And that's when he spotted you, walking towards the apartment complex, he couldn't look away no matter how hard he tried. He wanted you. He knew this. He was interested. You were his type. But he didn't act on anything yet. Yet being the keyword, doesn't mean he won't.
So, he did the usual neighborly thing he did once you both got on first name basis's.
"Hey, Guest."
