"That's okay," Remmy said with a shy smile up at her before going back to quietly typing on his laptop. He wiggled a little in his seat as he thought for a word, found it, then started typing rather quickly as he remembered his finished destination was approaching him quickly.
Vash ran a hand through her hair, and glanced one last time at the stranger. How long had it been since she'd lashed out over something so stupid? Her phone buzzed indicating a text. 'of course' she thought angrily when she saw who the text was from. She quickly stuffed it back in her pocket before walking back over to a table. She'd might as well study by herself.
Remmy curled back up into his chair with a small smile, finishing up his last few sentences triumphantly a few mintues later.
Yes! I'm done! He wanted to hop up and down with joy, but instead he stood to his feet and practically bounced across the library to the printer, where he paid a bit of money to print the paper, humming as he set it up to print.
Of course it didn't take long before Vash grew bored of trying to read the same page over and over again. With a heavy sigh she stood, grabbing the book, and decided to print of the page. After all, she didn't feel like checking out the book and worrying about late charges. Paying for classes, and her apartment where already sucking up her money faster then she could make it. Vash made her way over to the printers, not really paying attention to her surroundings. "Heck-" she almost shouted, as she bumped into the stranger from before.
Remmy jumped about two feet in the air when she bumped into him, cradling his laptop and standing in front of the printer like they were a pair of his children, his face reddening in embarrassment soon after.
"Er… hello," He whispered softly, looking down at his feet. Even the tips of his ears were a dark red.
"You again- my gosh I'm so sorry." Vash took a few steps back almost knocking into someone else. "I didn't see you in so sorry." She gave am apologetic look before picking somewhere else to look. If there's one thing her father ever did do right, it was the lesson of teaching to apologize. "I should have been looking where I was going- are you okay?" She asked noticing the ever growing color of his face. Gosh she hopped she hadn't embarrassed him with her idiocy.
Remmy nodded shyly and turned away to the printer to gently pick up his still-warm paper. He swallowed nervously at her question, slowly turning to face her again.
"I'm okay. Am-am I standing in your way?" He shuffled out of the way of the printer and hurried off to the bookshelves.
(Oof sorry I got caught up in a really good book)
Vash took a second to consider her next words, but by the time she'd decided on what to say, Remmy had already been scurrying away. 'heck,' she thought before thinking of her next actions. When had she become is careful? "No you weren't in the way." She called after him, getting a few glares in turn for her loudness, again.
(Oof that's ok)
Remmy ducked behind a shelf and started browsing his options, still quivering at the anxiety of someone being noisy. He wasn't really that well accustomed to loud noises, hence why he stayed mainly in the library than in the dorms, where a lot of loud noises happened.
Vash sighed and printed what she needed, making another copy for her idiot study group. Though if she was being completely honest, she'd rather be the one slacking off. She'd rather be outside running around and hanging out with her friends. Not that she'd ever had many friends, most didn't like how reckless she was. And growing up the way she had? Friends should have just been a burden. People had always enjoyed asking questions. Even if they really didn't want the answer.
He picked at an interesting looking book and slowly took it out, holding his breath. To himself, he was thinking, Is this the one? Will it help me best boredom this weekend? I wonder if Ms. Maya will let me stay for the night, just to read. Ms. Maya was the new librarian that replaced the older Mrs. Yuli. Ms. Maya was around Remmy's age, and he was nursing a very small crush for the kind woman. Mainly because she let him print things for free and check out as many books as he wanted.
Vash- being at least a somewhat decent peraon- decided she'd find the spot she'd grabed the book from. after all, books where always there for her, might as well be there for them too. While scowering the shelfs she spotted again the stranger. She almost panicked. What would he think if he saw her again? They went to the same school, but three times in one day with out even trying? That was really pushing it. So instead she decided to duck behind him and scurry to the next.
Remmy heard someone scuffling around and jumped to turn around, his eyes somewhat wide. Was it just his imagination? Well, probably. He sighed at himself and turned back around, his moment of bonding with the book simmered out as he slowly pulled it out of the shelf, humming excitedly nevertheless.
Finding the spot Vash practically forced the book back in its place. Or had it been on the shelf down? She shook her head at herself, who cared as long as it was in it's general place? Vash sighed, obviously she did. It seems her past molded her more then she'd realized.
Remmy heard the crunchings and shufflings of books being crammed together and he peered over at the row she was in.
"Er… excuse me…" He whispered softly, barely able to be heard as he was met with the same lady who was being noisy. "You're putting that book in the wrong place. The books aren't supposed to move like that. That book looks like an encyclopedia… so maybe you should try over there." He pointed out to another section.
"Heck. Awe sorry I guess I was just trying to rush." Vash pulled the book back out and cradled it in her arms as if where a baby. "Um also, sorry about earlier- you know the yelling and them almost tackling you." Her face flushed with embarrassment. "And also now. For disturbing you again."
Remmy glanced down at her arms and the book, getting the brainwave that she might be moking him. He swallowed back a quickly forming lump and nodded a little, then shrugged at her apology, shuffling back over to the place of his book. He took it off the shelf with careful fingers, then went over to a table to read over the first few chapters of it.
Vash grew self conscious of how she has holding the book. Was he judging her? She quickly tucked it under her arm adding a quick "thanks" in his direction, and made her way to where he'd pointed her too. Here she found the right place for the book, and easied it back into its rightful place.
The books seemed to openly accept the other book as it slipped it, proving Remmy's point correct. Meanwhile the small bookish boy ducked into his book, which was about the size of his face. He was very excited to start reading the huge book. It would certainly give him something to do.
(Heck Idk how else to push them together.)
(Heck
Maybe she like… grabs too many books and falls on him?)
(Oh boy. Poor Remmy. xD)
Vash decided that perhaps she'd do some light reading over the weekend. After all its not like she had any family to go home too. She stuffed the papers she'd printed into her pocket and quickly found a few books she liked. taking time to memorize where she'd gotten them from this time.it wasn't like she'd grabbed a lot of books, just two really. But Vash was quite a mess, a very clumsy awkward mess. "Fu-" she started as she tripped. Practically throwing her books at Remmy. Gosh him of all people? It was almost like she was trying at this point. Even though she in fact was not.
Remmy had been sucked up in the character list at the beginning of the book. It seemed to be a story based off of LOTR, which would be a nice shake up. He was reading about a pretty-sounding elf of the name ot Yuoili, when a fallen book cracked off his head and slammed the book he was holding down on the table. He jumped fiercely at the slapping noise the two books made and protected himself from further falling books, cowering
"Oh gosh. I'm so sorry." Vash squeezed her eyes shut for a few seconds, taking that time to tell herself to calm down. "Sorry." She said again as she quickly collected her books and looked at Remmy. "Are you okay? Do you need to go to the nurse?" Such an elamemty question. "Oh gosh I'm so sorry." She mentally chastised herself for being so idiotic.
Remmy shakily relaxed from his cower and slowly picked his book back up, tracing the bent page with a small frown.
"N-no, I'm ok. I don't need to go anywhere," He whispered softly, still sure to follow the library's criteria of quietness. "That's ok. You just frightened me." He felt his head for any type of lump or bump.
