Library [Sunday, April 6]

It was Sunday and that meant Lee was propped up behind the library desk, doing absolutely nothing important. He'd kept mostly to himself this week ~~because the mun was playing catch up and unpacking~~ so it felt good to be out of his room.

The library was open.

He laughed and wriggled a little in her grasp. "You think you're an expert on my shirtlessness, huh?"

Adah bit a corner of her lip against a grin, taking advantage of the wriggling to subtly pull up a bit more shirt. "I imagine I'm probably more of an expert than most," she commented. "I'll admit to being quite the enthusiast, at any rate."

"No one else has seen me without a shirt as much as you," he confirmed, wriggling again. "And there's no one I want to see as me shirtless as much as you."

"Remind me again," Adah prompted, with another light pull of the Eel's shift, her finger starting to curl around the increased collected fabric so that the tips could take advantage of some of the progress of flesh, "why this is an issue? Are you afraid the books might catch on?"

"No," he said and blushed. "It doesn't bother me. I just like teasing you about it. It might bother the librarian if he caught us."

"Well, that certainly isn't going to dissuade me," Adah said with a ghost of a smile, leaning up to kiss the Eel again as she mead a bit more clearance with the shirt. Bothering the Librarian and the Eel shirtless and kissing her. She couldn't say no to such a nice combination of some of her favorite things; it would be impossible.

She pulled away again, this time trying to do more than just creep the shirt up. Her impatience was starting to get the better of her.

Lee helped her this time, wriggling out of the shirt and rubbing his arms instinctively. It wasn't cold, it just seemed like the thing to do at the time.

Adah grinned a bit shamelessly at her progress, and mused, "I wonder if I should keep this one, too. It would only be fair; payment for not visiting Wednesday. Lucky for you, though, I don't think I'd have much use to for two of your shirts."

Not that she'd intended to suggest that she had much use for even just one, of course.

"You're not cold, are you?" she asked when she noted him rubbing his arms.

"No, that's just instinct," he said and started swinging his arms. "I just tend to always do that when my shirt comes off."

"I see," Adah said, and she meant in in more ways than one, because his shirtless arm fidgeting gave her a chance to just hang back enjoy the sight visually before making the attempt to slide back in close to him and enjoy it physically.

"Besides, you'd keep me warm, right?" he asked, moving back towards her, sliding one arm around her.

"As well as I can, anyway," Adah said, settling back in against the Eel, hand slipping back to where it was against the small of his back, fingers curling lightly there since there wasn't fabric to hold onto. Not that she was complaining, of course. It was difficult to complain and kiss simultaneously, after all, and she'd much rather kiss him again.

"Half naked in the library," Lee said, shaking his head but leaning closer to kiss her again.

"Could be a lot worse," Adah pointed out in a murmur, not wanting to draw too far away from kissing him for the sake of words. And he, of all people, should know that the worse she referred to would not be out of the question.

"Worse would be losing my pants," he agreed, nodding and kissing her forehead and cheek this time.

"Or me losing my shirt," Adah commented, quietly, as most of her attention went to closing her eyes and appreciating the departure of the Eel's lips to her forehead, her cheek. "Or losing a lot more."

There were, after all, whole sections of this place that, judging by the dust, were never, ever inhabited.

"Are you hinting at something?" he asked, laughter in his voice as he moved on to kiss her ear and behind her ear now.

"Mmm..." Adah, with a small sound before an intake of breath, kept her eyes lightly shut as her head tilted back a little to be accommodating to the Eel's progress. "If you keep this up," she added, "it'll be a lot more than just a hint."

"Are there private enough areas of the library for what you're hinting at?" Lee asked curiously.

"Depends on your definition of 'private enough,'" Adah answered. "But I happen to know that there's an nook down that way and to the right that's entirely devoted to ancient Laplandian epic poetry that I know for a fact no one ever goes to except for me, because I like putting them in other places."

She smirked. "I've just been itching for someone to try to locate some Faust and see what they think when they get the Ballad of Bjorn Bjorkenstaalk and his Fifty Reindeer instead."

"Hmm." Lee looked thoughtful. "No one else but you has come in all day. I bet no one else will come in either."

"It has been rather quiet around here," Adah added lightly.

"I don't think anyone would miss us," he said, nodding sagely. "And it would be fun."

"Come on, then," Adah said, with a light grin and as much of a blush as she would allow, which wasn't much, as she trailed her hand down his arm before going to take his hand and start leading him (or at least getting him moving) toward one of the dustier corners. "I haven't got that much time unless I want to be late."

"It'll be quick."

Wait, no, that wasn't good.

"I didn't mean it like that," he said, trailing after her. "I meant, you won't be late but it'll be good. I promise."
