Library [09/11]

When Sam arrived at the library, it was still fairly early, and he'd only managed to get a little caffeine into his blood stream. He started checking in the returned books first, and was surprised to find a children's book in among the rest. He set it aside, intending to flip through it before putting it back where it belonged, and he'd barely had time to yawn and move onto the next book when he heard mewing, and glanced over to find one--no, two gray kittens, a red kitten, and a blue kitten perched on the desk looking at him.

That was when he finally remembered there was supposedly something funky going on with the books. Oops.

[Yes, we still have kitten!books!]

Sam did his best to keep the kittens away from the rest of his coffee, and tried to keep them occupied with some string he found in the desk.

A curious Sam was almost never a good thing, especially when there was weirdness going on. He randomly picked a shelf and grabbed the first book he could get his hands on - a history of astronauts - and sure enough, as soon as he checked it out, a kitten in a spacesuit joined the rest that were still lounging on the desk.

Sam wasn't sure whether to be concerned, or be taken in by the overwhelming cuteness.

In retrospect, the astronaut book might not have been such a good idea, as Sam watched the kitten move from place to place, sticking little flags everywhere it went.

Sam wasn't an expert on what to feed cats, but a quick trip to the cafeteria got him some milk, and he watched to make sure that was all right. Not because the kittens were insanely cute or anything.

Sam tried not to be nervous as fourth period approached, but he couldn't help it. It was the good kind of nervous though, the excited kind, and Sam was letting the kittens distract him from thinking about Peter's potential visit, as well as everything else that ~~might have~~ happened during the day.

The kittens were in a sleepy pile on the desk, and Sam hoped they'd be safe there until they hopefully turned back into books.

Now I want a kitten of my own. Woe!

Kitties!

Peter came in with coffee and donuts, as per usual. He was, perhaps, smiling a bit more than usual though. "Hey."

"Hey," Sam said. He couldn't help but smile as well. "Look out for the kittens."

Peter looked around. "What the heck happened?"

He hadn't been listening to radio a lot this week.

"I'm not really sure," Sam said. "They were books, and now they're kittens. They're cute though, and they've been pretty harmless so far, so I'm not worried yet."

Peter held his hand out for one of the kittens to sniff. "As invasions go, we could do worse."

Sam grinned as he watched the astronaut kitten go up and sniff at Peter's hand before licking him.

"I know it's not right, but I'm hoping that if all the books turn into cats, it'll happen when I'm not here," he said.

Peter gave the kitten a skritch. "It would make for a lot of litterbox cleaning."

"And a lot of hairballs," Sam said, laughing.

Peter smiled at Sam's laugh, then leaned in to give him a kiss hello. "So hi."

Sam wasn't sure when getting to kiss Peter would start to feel like reality, but he didn't have any complaints about how it felt now. "Hi to you too."

Yeah, reality hadn't set in for Peter yet either. That wasn't going to stop him from kissing Sam though. "So how's your day going other than kittens?"

"All right, except for not being able to check books out. That's when they seem to turn into kittens," Sam explained.

"Hi!" Rikku chirped, storming into the library.

It wasn't a very good sort of chirping.

"Hey, I figured out why you dumped Dawn."

"Uh, hi," Sam replied, staring at her a little. He might have been socially clueless sometimes, but even he could tell that this conversation was not going to be fun. "If you've talked to Dawn then yeah, I assume you know."

"I meant more the whole, you sucking face with some guy and it's been all over radio," she said, folding her arms.

"That's not why I broke up with Dawn," Sam said, wanting to sound as sincere as he could. "Peter and I is a whole separate thing."

Rikku narrowed her eyes. "It's been, like, a week," she said. "So if it's totally unrelated, and you weren't cheating on her, then you just got over the whole thing in like two days. I don't know which is worse."
