Library [08/19]

[likethegun]

Instead of his usual plain morning coffee, Sam had gotten the biggest, sweetest coffee concoction that the Perk had to offer, and then headed to the library. If he was going to try to live in the land of denial about how close they were to the end of summer, he was going to need a sugar high on which to cruise.

"That's what he said," Claire told him. "And he said that you seemed to enjoy it."

"Oh, you mean the kilt he wore to class," Sam said lightly. "Yeah, it was funny 'cause he lost a bet."

Claire smirked. "Uh huh, sure."

"What? It's true. He lost a bet to Hannibal, so he had to wear a kilt to class in front of everyone," Sam babbled.

"And you checked him out."

The whole pretending not to remember and the babbling were pretty good clues about that.

"I didn't--" Sam started, before sighing. "Kilts are really interesting, that's all."

"Chuck is pretty hot," Claire said.

"Peter's hotter," Sam said in an instant.

"Well, yeah," Claire said, as if there was no question about that.

Which may not have been what Sam wanted to hear from his boyfriend's niece, but oh well.

She glanced at the shelves they stopped in front of and pulled a book (http://www.amazon.com/Illustrated-Gardening-Editors-Readers-Digest/dp/0762102764/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1250726303&sr=1-9) from the shelf at random.

"Ooh, how colorful," Sam said, smiling. "That seems like a good beginner's guide."

Claire flipped through some of the pages before nodding her agreement.

"Yeah, it does. I think I'll take it out."

Re: Before Lunch [08/19]

"Do you promise to bring it back on time?" Sam asked. "I'm a stickler for late fees."

God, he was such a nerd.

Re: Before Lunch [08/19]

He really was. But he was a cute nerd and Peter loved him and that went a long way in Claire's book.

"I'll do my best," she promised. "Besides, I think I have an in with one of the library aides."

Re: Before Lunch [08/19]

Sam laughed as he took the book to check her out. "Yeah, you just might."

Claire grinned and followed him back to the desk. "I'll try not to take advantage of that."

Re: Before Lunch [08/19]

[likethegun]

"If you're going to take advantage of me, I should at least get a bribe out of it," he said. "I take all forms of caffeine."

"I'll keep that in mind, Sam," Claire promised.
