Tentatively titled, "Things I Do for Free Wi-Fi, Item #7b" Rewriting a plotbunny I had 1.5 year ago...
Drew St. Clair checked his reflection before walking out his apartment door. He wanted to give the impression of starving college student, but not one so desperate that he's off-putting. A clean T-shirt, faded jeans, battered Converse, and he was ready to go.
Like all good little nerds, he had been following the creed of "Rent first, then Internet, then food," but there were only so many bowls of instant ramen and Cocoa Puffs that he could stomach.
His landlord had helpfully provided the apartment number of tenants who might be interested in sharing their Internet connection. If all else fails, Drew was prepared to trawl the neighborhood with his laptop in search of an unsecured wireless network.
Apartment 3C. Drew wiped his hands on his jeans and knocked.
"Yes?" The man that opened the door loomed over Drew with a politely inquiring expression.
What happened to the good old days when all Asian guys are puny, anyway? Drew, who barely cleared 5'6", thought with a mixture of envy and annoyance. If this were one of his sister's romance novels, the man would be described as "a charming rogue," whereas Drew would have to settle for "a little scamp."
