Summary:
The evening of Kakashi and Iruka's dinner has arrived, opening opportunities for them.
Iruka’s nerves were nearly shot by the time he reached Kakashi’s house. He sat in his car for longer than was polite in an attempt to quell his anxiety. Taking a few deep breaths, he held tightly to whatever courage he had summoned and slowly walked toward the front door. It opened before he reached it, a smiling Kakashi greeting him. He couldn’t control the thundering of his heart when he took in the white tank top that clung to every line of muscle on the man’s torso or the jeans that fit him like a second skin. Gulping harshly, Iruka returned Kakashi’s smile with one of his own.
“Hi. How are you?” Iruka asked.
“I’ve been well. Busy but well,” Kakashi replied, “Come on in and you can tell me about your day while I get the steaks ready and throw together a salad.”
Edgeworth is all "I rest my case 😏" and sits down and his phone vibrates and he pulls it out and it's a text from Phoenix that just says "fuck off"
okay so i really rushed this, but i just had to draw it because it was super funny and now i'm obsessed with the idea of them texting each other in court
So, my childhood hero was a librarian at the library in our town.
The library was probably about a mile from our house, so I’d ride bike there in the summer and spend a few hours reading or looking for books (I was 13 ish for context.) I had pretty severe social anxiety.
So, I’m in the library by myself, and I just can’t find anything to read. I think to ask the librarian, but my brain is telling me “you’d be bothering them” and things like that. I debate this in by head for probably a good ten minutes before I decide to go through with it. It takes me a good ten minutes to walk twenty feet to the front desk.
She’s sitting there, writing on a paper. I stand and wait till she’s done, then say “excuse me” because my parents were very insistent on manners.
She says something along the lines of, “What can I help you with?”
I ask if they have a list of book suggestions or if she has any book suggestions for me.
I’m not exaggerating when I say her face lit up.
She hurries out of her chair and leads me all through the young adult section, giving me some awesome suggestions and asking me about what types of books I like, etc. We spend a good twenty minutes on this. She was really excited about giving me books to read, which made me a lot less self-conscious.
Eventually, she recruits her other librarian friends to also help me find books (there weren’t many people there, they were going to be closing soon) so I’m parading around the library with my librarian entourage, getting book suggestions and having the time of my life.
This librarian helped me more than she realized just by being genuinely excited to help me out. It made me more confident in social situations in the future, and today, I can truthfully say that I can manage socializing pretty well. Her book suggestions were spot on and excellent.
Also, she was talking about this book and described it “like a really well written fan fiction,” and that’s how I got introduced to fan fiction.
Thank you, librarian from the library. And people, never be afraid to ask your librarian for book suggestions.
