"Staying up late?" Goku asks Midori-ko from the entrance of the library.

Night had fallen and Kami's look out was completely dark except for the lamps providing a soft light

"Yes just going to do some light reading." She says looking at the fiction books in Kami's library

"Cool can I join you?" Goku stepped in the library

" Uh sure." Midori-ko looks Goku's way noticing that he was wearing lose basketball shorts and a black t-shirt that fit Goku in all the right places. He must of taken a shower since Midori-ko could smell the zest soap from where she stood.

" Whatcha gonna read?" Goku asks casually leaning on the book shelf

" It." She points to the cover

" It?" Goku tilts his head "Yes it's a book." He smirks

" Oh no it's the name of the book 'It'. " Midori-ko laughs "It's a horror novel by the prolific Stephen King."

" Oh." Goku looks down itching where his scar was " You probably think I'm dumb now."

" What? No I don't think that." Midori-ko smiles patting his shoulder

" Sure you do everyone else does." Goku sighs

" Goku where did this come from?" Midori-ko asks holding the book to her chest

" I dunno I just... you're so pretty and smart and you use all these big words all the time and here I am some country bumpkin." Goku still looks down

" That's sweet Goku." Midori-ko tells him "But just because you didn't know something doesn't make you stupid." She says

" Yeah I guess."

" Goku I think you're very smart just carefree that's all." Midori-ko tells Goku

" Yeah I know but it's hard not to think it." Goku fidgets "W-would you read your book to me?" He blushes

" Sure." Midori-ko nods "I'd love that." She smiles

" Cool."

Midori-ko settled down on the floor with Goku joining her, he sat close to Midori-ko it wasn't the first time Goku sat close to Midori-ko but something felt different.
His energy felt nervous but excited all at the same time similar to Midori-ko's, she wondered if he could sense her energy.

" Chapter One After the Flood... the terror which would not end for another twenty eight years ..."

As she read Goku seemed to inch closer to her until his head found her shoulder as Midori-ko read to him.

" You're a fast reader." Goku yawns

" I'm sorry do I need to slow down?" Midori-ko asks

" No." Goku adjusted his head on her shoulder "This is really nice your voice is very soothing." Goku sighs
