Library [02/04]

Sam was back in the library again for his regular Monday shift, now that he didn't have to sit by anyone's side in the clinic. He was pretty sure he could go for a good long while without having to do that again, and was more than happy to have things back to normal.

Peter came in at the usual time with the usual items. "Hey."

"Hey," Sam said, perking up when he saw Peter.

"Coffee, donut," Peter said, laying them out in front of Sam. "So how 'bout that game, huh?"

Sam took a sip of coffee to make up for the fact that it took him a moment to realize what game Peter was talking about. "Yeah, it was something," he said.

"Did you watch?" Peter asked, starting to suspect Sam hadn't.

"No, I didn't," Sam admitted. "Was it really a good game?"

"Giants won," Peter said. "Which you need to be happy about since that's the New York team. And since when do I know more about sports than you?"

"Since probably forever?" Sam said. "I like playing flag football, but we don't exactly go by the rules. I'm not really a sports geek."

"You've played flag football and soccer," Peter said. "That's two more sports than I've ever played."

"But you actually watch the games on TV," Sam said, pleasantly surprised that Peter remembered him talking about soccer. "I think that balances us out."

"Not as a rule," Peter said. "But the Super Bowl is fun. Plus you gotta root for the home team. Except for you. You can root for the New York teams." He grinned at Sam.

"Okay, I promise to root for the New York teams," Sam said. "Unless I find a team that's better."

Peter tsked. "Fair-weather fan. For shame."

Sam laughed. "I'm glad your team won though. Did you watch the game here? I saw signs for something going on downstairs."

"Nah, I went over to Nathan's," Peter said. "Not as social, but still fun."

"Yeah, I don't really think I'm up for social yet," Sam admitted, before changing the subject. "Nathan seems like he's adjusting well to Fandom so far."

It was adorable how Sam thought he could try to change the subject around Peter. "So far, yeah. Why aren't you up for social yet?"

"I...I don't really have time," Sam replied. "I have so much research to do, on top of everything else, and..." He trailed off, shrugging.

"What's everything else?" Peter asked, since he already knew about the research.

"You know, homework, working here, that sort of thing."

"By which you mean avoiding people?" Peter guessed.

"I'm not avoiding people. I'm talking to you now, aren't I?"

"Does it count when I came to see you?" Peter asked.

"I could have gone in the back and pretended I wasn't here," Sam pointed out.

"True," Peter said. "Still. Glad as I am you're up for being social with me, why aren't you up for being social with anyone else?"
