"excuse me? i'm looking for a book, but i can't find it?"

you turned around and almost spit out the water you were drinking.

"please don't choke on water. your death certificate won't appreciate that."

you put down your water bottle and walked up to the counter. "what are you doing here?" you asked vernon, who rested his arms on the countertop.

"i came to see you," he said while smiling, "but also i'm looking for a book. i've never actually checked out a book here before. but i really only came here to see you."

you chuckled, "if i help you find the book, can i get a kiss?" you asked.

"duh, of course."

after vernon showed you the book he wanted. you brought him upstairs to find the book.

"should be around here," you spoke quietly. "do you have practice later?" you asked him as you looked at the different shelves.

"yea, at four," vernon answered and held your hand, "your hand's cold," he commented. "what time do you get off?"

"three," you answered. "do you think me and you could go get something to eat?" you asked him.

he nodded, "yea. let's do that. i need food before practice."

you took him down an aisle. "it should be over here," you muttered as you scanned the spines of books. you bumped into a step stool and almost tripped, but vernon held you up. "thanks."

"mhm."

you stepped up onto the step stool to get a better look at the books on the highest shelf. "oh, here it is," you said and pulled out the book in question. "here."

"thank you," vernon replied as he took the book from you. he helped you down the step stool before kissing your cheek. "can i stay with you? or do you have stuff to do?" he asked.

"i have to put some books away, but if you want, you can stay at the desk. no one will mind," you said to him. he nodded.

both of you returned to the front desk, and vernon sat down on a chair that your bag was hanging from. you started doing some desk work before deciding to put some books away.

using a cart, you went to a section of the library that was on the first floor and started putting away books. when you were almost done, you glanced over before doing a once over and seeing vernon walking around.

you walked to the end of the aisle and peeked your head out so vernon could see you. he noticed you and walked over to you.

"what are you doing?" you asked him.

"wanted to see you," he said while smiling.

"i would've been back in a second," you said to him.

"i know, but i still wanted to see you," he said. "can i help?"

you playfully rolled your eyes, "come on, lover boy."

he helped you finish shelved the rest of books you needed to put away.

"want me to put this one back?" you asked him, noticing the book he was reading earlier on the end of the cart.

"hang on."

vernon picked up the book, opening it to a random page and held it up so he could kiss you with the book blocking anyone's view.

you laughed at him and reached your hands to hold his face before kissing him again.

"what is this? hidden camera?"

"i thought it'd be cute."

"love you."

"love you."
