prologue:
‘you, again ?’
craning your neck towards the heavy, dented, metal slabs that are the front doors of the apartment building, you spot a large man with mostly dark hair, in a tattered, black, leather jacket.
‘…do i know you?’ you asked, confused.
‘no, and you don’t need to. i’m just curious as to what kind of juvenile criminal steals from a community book nook’
your eyes widen in surprise and narrow again in disdain before resting a hand on your hip.
‘believe it or not coffin dodger’ you retort snarkily, gesturing to the white in his hair.
‘when me and my fellow juveniles bring an item back from whence it came’ huffing and turning back to grab another book ‘we normally consider it returned’
flabbergasted, he stands there processing your insult for just a moment before shooting back with a glare
‘oh, i see, good samaritan, must’ve gotten you confused with the other resident hoarding 12 books yet to make their return’
you’d imagined a fight occurring when you came to Gotham one day, but you’d visualised more of a scrap to the death in a wet alley somewhere and less of a squabble over book nook etiquette under your own (currently leaking) roof.
‘i wasn’t aware book nooks hired their own personal security nowadays’ you remark
‘what do they pay you in? does it grow on trees?’
his eye twitched in rage before he slowly walked over, it wasn’t until he was a couple feet away that you began to appreciate the minor detail that you were currently living in Gotham of all places.
you felt yourself begin to shrink a little bit in your own skin.
‘i’ll be watching’ the man strode away.
you shivered, whispering an uneasy ‘creep’ before making your escape up the stairs.
new book in arm, you practically skip down the hall, waltzing into your room, locking the door behind you and launching full force into your plush bed. practically buzzing with excitement you open up the first page to see what new annotations await you.
halfway into the first one you choke out a laugh
‘ ahhh .. what a dweeb’
