Summary
The apartment was cold.
It had been cold since Sami moved in, three months ago. The windows shook whenever the wind grew strong and the small hole that he tried to cover with a box, seemed to allow Downtown Montreal to flood into the small apartment.
The apartment was small, frequently messy and cold but it was home and Sami loved it. He covered the walls with posters and pictures and smeared cream color paint across the kitchen ceiling, he made it feel lived in and happy.
He made it his home.
It smelt of honeysuckle candles and existence and the air tasted of spices and the memories of ancestors who never knew of his existence.
OR
a 19 year old Sami Zayn craves to have his apartment feel like his childhood home. Loud and full of life and so, after Kevin suggestions, posts an AD for a roommate. When Randy Orton's little sister calls up, eager to find somewhere to live so she can attend the best med school in Montreal. Will they stay roommates or will their friendship bloom new flowers?
//I cannot summerise and this idea lives rent free in my head. Please read! Comments and Kudos are appreciated!! //

Summary
Suddenly the idea of learning about how to fix the people in the world falls away, Madelyn had never really heard Sami sing before. Sure, they had done a few karaoke nights while driving- belting songs off key so loud that the next day, she had a headache. But that was not him singing: not like he was now. Maddie could only compare the gentleness of his voice to that of flowing water; free and unrestrained and loving.
OR
Maddie has never heard her boyfriend really sing before and studying becomes a lot more boring when he's singing a song in a language she doesn't really know, at all
