One Library Rule | D&N
“Guys? Sorry– ‘scuse me, could we not? Please? That’s the reference section. The section you’re not supposed to borrow books from. Because they’re like… really old. Can you guys not fuck in the library? Please?”
It wasn’t the first time he’d hidden behind a door or shelf of books, not wanting to embarrass someone further than what he was already doing… But this was his place of work. And he made signs, dammit. Nice, clearly printed, lamented signs stating “Please no sexual activity in the library.” As polite as he could be. He had made them back when Emerson had been head librarian… some four librarians ago. Dhani had out lasted every head librarian here. And… once or twice it had maybe gone to his head. He’d once gotten a proper administrative scolding for having keys to the office that he should have kept after Aleksey had left.
Why he had waited so long to change his major, he’d never really know. Clearly he cared about his library job more than he realized. More than even Leib did when calling Dhani out for not prioritizing more thoughtfully. Dhani loved this job. It was the instability of his employers than shook him up, made him resentful and neglectful on occasion.
He waited for a few moments. Whoever was in the reference section, alone or not, didn’t have to listen to Dhani. And Dhani wasn’t going to bother Leib with it. That felt childish. He’d clean up whatever mess. He would just… rather not. It wasn’t a rule that people generally disregarded, at least not openly. But… there was noise. And it was the antique book area for crying out loud. Some of those books Dhani had learned to rebind himself with Aleksey’s mentorship. Some of those books were older that some supernaturals here.
Dhani wasn’t out to spoil anyone’s good time… He just didn’t want to clean someone’s jizz off a two hundred year old book.
Again.
Seriously.... Was someone actually..? Yep, yeah they were. At first Nova thought it was just someone watching porn, which was bad enough in itself. Not to mention pretty damn sad to be hiding in the library watching the literal boob tube. Wasn’t that the college equivalent of watching it in your parent’s basement or something? Sure seemed like it.
Shuddering, she flicked off her hearing aide and tried to put her focus back into her coursework. But it was too late. The seed had already been planted..pun very much intended. The image of whatever had been matching those sounds was already in her head and there was no getting rid of it now.
“For fuck’s sake!” Nova hissed, slamming her book shut as she spotted some dude doing the cock-block shuffle away from the scene of the crime. Library assistant she assumed, as she’d seen him around here plenty before. Chuckling lowly, she turned her aide back on as she caught the man’s eye. “Tell me, how many times a day do you have to do that?” Nova smirked, delicate brows quirking.
