Barbie (2023) One-Shots

1 • Ken (Ryan Gosling)

She/Her Pronouns

I sat at the desk of the library, I looked around at the kids flooding through and my eyes land on a man, he had bright blonde hair and wore what looked like a cowboy outfit. A bit odd for a school but who am I to judge? I stand up from my chair and move to walk towards him.

He was focused on books about..horses? And so much men politics, I tapped his shoulder and he turned to look at me, he flashed a smile with perfectly white teeth. I looked at him in awe.

"Excuse me Sir?" I stood by him with a nice smile and he blinked for a moment before replying

"Sir? I know not of such word. I'm ken" he puts his hands on his hips and beams at me, I had to keep myself from laughing, fear of embarrassing the already embarrassing looking man.

"Well hello Ken, I'm Y/n, do you need help with your books there?" I point to his stack of Men at War and other books he was struggling to hold

"Y/n... that's a nice name, I'm Ken" I laugh, and he smiles at me confused

"Sorry, pardon my manners, well have fun with your books Ken. I'll leave you to it" I grin and walk away from him, back to my desk

He watched as I walked away, unknown to my knowledge. He had only known Barbies his whole life and wasn't used to the kindness of a..Y/n

He was confused, were all of the ladies here a
Y/n? Was she president or a construction worker? He didn't think so. But he wanted to know. So he walked up to her after gaining a few odd looks for his spaces out look on the librarian

He struts his way back over to my space (y'all know the goofy ass walk) and I was currently talking to a little girl giving her back her checked out books with a smile, and she grabs them and quickly runs away.

"Sooo...Y/n, are you like CEO of this shop of books?" He raises an eyebrow at me, leaning against the book cart,

"Oh Ken please don't lean on that-" the cart starts to roll and accidentally falls over causing a huge crash to sound around the library, I bite my lip, attempting to not yell at the man

"Heh. Oops" he looks back at me and decides to lean against the counter instead, a safer option.

I sigh "alright Ken, are you ready to check out those books?" He looks at me worriedly

"C-check out?" He clears his throat "like.. pay?"

I laugh and bend down to grab a library card for him.

"No, you just need a card, so that we can keep track of the books. Here I'll grab you one."
I stand back up with the peice of plastic with the schools name and a serial number written on it, but when I looked to his previous spot he wasn't there.. and I looked towards the door I see him running away with the stack of books, almost hitting a child as he runs.

My eye twitches as I look after him

"Well, I'm not getting those back"

(That was really bad guys, Part 2????)
