closed for: @fvckthepctriarchy ― ( sage ) where: local library when: 11:42 pm.

ending up in a library on a random thursday night had never been in the cards for killian. actually, it was a specific thursday for someone else. sweet natalie had an upcoming project at school and it just so happened that it was an emergency and she was in desperate need for a certain encyclopedia. usually you'd find the trainer already lightly snoring in their bed at such late hour, but when it comes to their goddaughter, killian was more than willing to bend a rule or two if that meant they'd get to save the little girl's day at school.

so here they were, arriving in quite a rush only to find themselves completely lost in the building filled to the brim with all types of books. how can anyone even begin to nagivate through this maze? thankfully, it didn't take long until what seemed like library assistent's desk came into view and the trainer gained a sense of relief. and, as it turns out, they might have relaxed way too soon. because why would a quick trip to the library go as smoothly as they'd imagined it in their head? nothing ever goes according to the plan and despite countless of situations proving exactly that, killian still found themselves being reminded of that simple yet unfortunate fact time and time again. it's like they never fully believed in it. well, until this moment, that is.

the disgusting frown reflected in moody assistent's face upon their inquiry about the layout of the library told them as much as they needed to know. the bastard did not want to help out and given the fact that the library was supposed to close in roughly fifteen minutes only added more reasons for killian to believe that the asshole decided to brush them off on purpose.

❝ oh, for fuck sake. ❞ a barely audible irritated mutter left them as the trainer quickened their pace in hopes of having the quickest possible tour of the place which will, inevitably, lead them to their destination. ideally, since they were racing against the clock and the odds didn't seem to be in their favor so far.

by some miracle, around ten minutes later, killian stopped at what appeared to be the correct row of bookshelves that included various types of encyclopedias. ❝ bingo. ❞ they whispered to themselves while marvelling at the scene. you'd think they discovered some kind of a treasure. taking a couple of steps closer to the bookshelf, killian swiftly fished out a sticky note with the name of the book and mere moments later their eyes fell upon the desired item. ❝ come here. ❝

now that they managed to find what they were looking for, the blond was way more at ease than before and was no longer in such a rush to exit the building although only a few minutes were left before the closure of the calm research space. still, they made their way towards the main staircase and couldn't help but direct their attention towards someone in particular. a person seemed to be resting or even sleeping on one of the research desks. it was obvious enough given that their head was lowered and rested on their arms like they were nothing but a comfy pillow.

a part of them did not wish to intrude or disturb the resting soul, yet the previous interaction with annoying library assitent refused to leave their mind. if it was up to them, killian would take up all of those people entering the library and would guide them themselves. that's how rude of an arsehole this one was. ❝ hey, ❞ killian addressed the person after getting close to their desk, however their approach did not evoke any reaction from the other. the trainer glanced around the place for a second or two, deciding their next move.

they were not really the touchy type, at least not when it came to strangers. so, the thought of potentially touching the other made them hesitate as scenarios of how the person would take their gesture plagued their imagination. then a faint sound of movement ahead reached their ears indicating that the assistent was preparing to close the library and that it was time to make their next move. the blond's glance returned to the other as killian let out a small sigh, leaning closer to where they were resting.

❝ hi, ❞ they tried again, slightly louder than before as the trainer now gently placed their hand on the other's shoulders, applying a bit of preassure in hopes of waking the person up. ❝ sorry. didn't mean to disturb, but the place is closing up and... yeah, it's pretty late. ❞ as soon as they felt movement, killian took a step back, letting their companion assess the situation and remember where they were. ❝ i'm gonna get us a cab. it's too late to be travelling alone, anyway. ❞ with a clear goal in mind, the trainer pulled out their phone with an intention to book them both a taxi, allowing the other to gather their bearings during that time.
