Library [01/16]

Bridge arrives at the library a few minutes earlier than usual, glad that missing the first week doesn't seem to have affected the status of his job. He is, however, a little nervous about what the new librarian must think of him.

"Oh," Bridge says quietly. "Well, um. You know where my room is, right?" he's not *actually* sure if Sky's got any idea. But he found Bridge's phone number, so it's not much of a stretch to assume.

"I do," Sky said with a shrug. "It just seems like you guys don't want to be around me, though. I can tell that Z doesn't like me very much. And you... are unusually quiet, at least from what I know. What gives?"

"I'm talking now, aren't I?" Bridge points out. "And besides, last time we spoke, *you* yelled at *me*, so, uh..." he shrugs.

"How else did you expect me to react?" Sky questioned. "If that's what's the matter, then I apologize."

"I didn't say I expected you to react differently," Bridge says. "Just that that's how you did so I thought, well, maybe you needed some time, and I wasn't going to push you."

Sky gave a little embarrassed smile.

"Well... admittedly, I haven't wanted to be around people much, yes. But I do now." He looked up at Bridge and took a deep breath. "I'm going to be honest, then. I know... I'm supposed to be the guy who doesn't feel anything, is all focused on work and nothing else, and is more than content with his own company. But I've tried that here. It doesn't work. I've been miserable. The way I relate to people at S.P.D. is doing me no good whatsoever here. So now that I'm done brooding and feeling sorry for myself... I know you've made your own way here, and have your own friendships and happiness, but I want to be friends with you. If you're willing..."

"Of *course* I am!" Bridge doesn't go so far as to eyeroll at Sky, instead he just grins encouragingly.

"...Good. Good." Sky could feel himself blushing and wished fervently that he wasn't. He was embarrassed enough already. "I hope that you and Z haven't been slacking on your training, then," he said, smiling a little and hoping Bridge would catch on that he was being sarcastic. OK, only half-sarcastic. "Now that we have to... correct a few things, we'll need to work extra hard from now on."
