Disclaimer- I don't own the TV show Miranda I am just having some fun with it :)
Note From the Author- I just got into this show and absolutely love it! :) I was recommended to write some fanfiction for the show by garyprestons on tumblr and I thought I would give it a go. This will just be a collection of unrelated one-shots focusing on the pairing of Miranda and Gary :) The first is a bit of a take on their first meeting in episode one to get me into writing like this :)

Of all the people Gary could bump into again after university and leaving for Malaysia, Miranda Hart was definitely not one he had expected. She was also one that would make moving back to Surrey the most difficult but also the best thing that would happen to him.
Gary was fixing the menu of the restaurant he worked at when he had looked up to see the tall woman enter the restaurant. He'd needed to do a double take before his face split into a wide but slightly shocked looking grin, "Miranda!"
"Gary!" She said looking equally as shocked to see him there as he had to see her there. Ten times better looking now...no! Stop it! You know what happened last time. We can only be just friends.
"How are you?" He grinned again and flattened down his chef whites before walking over and leaning in for a hug to which Miranda moved herself to place a kiss on his lips.
Just friends…you sure you have no feelings for him? "I'm good! How are you? More to the point what are you doing here?" Oops...that sounded rude!
"That's great!" He replied slowly a little taken aback by the kiss, "I'm working here now. I was only going to stay for a little while before going back to Malaysia." He paused, Gary knew as soon as he had seen her again that his feelings for her had rekindled. She'd kissed him but he needed to know so why couldn't he ask; it had been so many years since he'd seen her so instead he said with a smile, "...but seeing as you're here I might consider staying longer."
Miranda gave him a flustered looking smile, What do I say!? What do I say!? "I hope you do as I'd like to see some more of you." Anything! Anything but that! "Gary that was not an innuendo..."Miranda cringed internally, and that…
Gary looked taken aback, "Oh...kay I'd better get back to work then." He said with a smile, "but I'll see you round yeah?"
"Yeah, I work and live next door so you definitely will!" Miranda turned with a wave and walked out the door of the restaurant. What was that?! She felt her insides squirm.
I have feelings for him again.
