《That Small Library by Dover Street》12. Peeking
Advertisement
The small library in Dover Street was her personal island of peace and serenity. That place, crammed in between an apartment complex and a cafe, with its musty air and less-than-stellar company. Still, it wasn't nearly as bad as the neighbors in her own apartment, or the professors at uni who kept on droning at their lecterns.
So long as she could spend a few hours in the library with nothing but absolue bliss, all was right with the world.
It was just another ordinary visit. She was just done with her classes for the day, and was about to spend the next few hours chilling in the library until half an hour before closing hours, until she stepped through the doors and well...
"Even as the stars fall down~"
... She could only wince at the sight, even as she continued on looking. The bell tinkled the moment she entered the library, though with the headphones that was all but glued to his head, she could reckon that he didn't hear a damn thing.
'My ears.' She inwardly wailed, 'My ears fucking hurt.'
Despite the wince that was all but etched onto her face, she still managed to look upon the scene with morbid curiosity, a hand rummaging around her pockets for her phone. It was all but impossible to look away from the sight now, as if it's a wreck in slow motion that she couldn't help but watch.
Eventually, she managed to find her phone, yanking it out of her pocket and quickly setting it to record... his 'singing'. If one could even call it that.
"And so I reach up my arm to you~!" He 'sang' into the broom in their hand, doing a quick whirl and pointing up at the sky, "Pull you close and hold you tight and sweaaaar~"

He turns right back to sweeping, humming to himself for a moment before beginning to dance once more, turning around...
... And freezing in an instant, meeting her grin right after.
In an instant, he wrenches the headphones off his head, letting them dangle on his neck while he stalks his way towards her. "Delete that."
"Nope."
"Delete that." He frantically snaps, even as her grin grows even wider as she takes a step towards the aisles. "Oi. I said delete that!"
She doesn't reply, instead laughing him off and snaking into the library's aisles, forcing him to give chase a few seconds later.
