Library [06/16]

[likethegun]

Sam got to the library a little early today, even after stopping at the Perk for coffee and breakfast. He got set up for the day quickly, the routine having become second nature after so long, and then settled in at the computer to check his e-mail and spend some time playing the Sims.

Yes, it still entertained him years later. Sometimes, he was easy to please.

Ignore Sam talking to the computer like it can understand him.

Talk to Sam [06/16]

[likethegun]

He'll totally pause what he's doing. Probably.

Henry paused by the front desk with a tray of frosted chocolate cupcakes. (Baking sometimes happened when Henry had spare time, and he'd had spare time the night before. Besides ... cake.)

"It's my birthday," he informed Sam. "There should be cake in the library."

Re: Talk to Sam [06/16]

[likethegun]

That was some pretty infallible logic there, as far as Sam was concerned. Especially since he seemed willing to share. "Happy birthday," he said. "Are you doing anything to celebrate? Besides, you know, cupcakes."

"Cupcakes aren't enough?" Henry joshed. "Nah, I'm going home for the weekend. I'll see a baseball game if my friend Gomez is up for it."

"That sounds good. Nice and simple," Sam said. "My brother's the party-throwing type, so I can never get away with something quiet for my birthday."

"I'm old. Simple's good," Henry declared, trying to remember if he'd heard anything about Sam's birthday. "What does he normally drag you into?"

"Usually a surprise party at Caritas, where we do things I probably shouldn't admit to doing under the age of 21," Sam said with a smirk. "I feel obligated to tell you that you're not really that old."

Chuck came in around his usual time, with a rolled up European tabloid in his hand. Seemed to be the only way to keep track of Serena these days. "Hey. What are you up to?"

Re: Talk to Sam [06/16]

[likethegun]

"Um. Nothing," Sam said, trying to minimize his game before Chuck could see. "What's up?"

Re: Talk to Sam [06/16]

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Right. Assuming it was porn," Chuck said even though he knew that wasn't it. "I was just catching up with my sister. Which, oddly enough, kind of has to do with porn too."

Re: Talk to Sam [06/16]

[likethegun]

"It was not porn!" Sam said sharply, hoping Mr. DeTamble wouldn't overhear. "What does porn have to do with your sister? Or am I going to regret asking?"

Re: Talk to Sam [06/16]

[rocksthescarf.livejournal.com]

"Well it's not porn exactly..." Chuck flipped the magazine open and handed it over to Sam. The words were in French, but the pictures of topless Serena probably said everything it needed to. "God, I love the lax censorship in European media."

Dean came in with his usual lunch for both of them, this time Sam's favourite which he'd cooked at the house before heading over.

He watched Sammy for a minute. "If you were anyone else, I'd say you were watching porn. You being you.... Sims?"

Re: Talk to Sam [06/16]

[likethegun]

Sam smirked at Dean and paused the game. "Very good. I don't know how anyone could watch porn here. It's so...not private."

"Says the guy who's actually had sex in the library," Dean noted with a grin. He handed over the covered dish with Sammy's lunch in it. "Here, chow down."

Re: Talk to Sam [06/16]

[likethegun]

Sam blushed a little as he took the dish. "That was after hours when we wouldn't be disturbed," he insisted, perking up when he opened the dish and got a whiff. "You didn't have to cook, you know. But thank you."

Re: Talk to Sam [06/16]

"Well in a matter of weeks, you're going to have to cook for yourself. Or get your boyfriend to. Does Peter cook?"

Cupcake at hand, Henry went back to his office and spent some time chatting online with friends from Chicago. They were all eager to remind him that 40 was old.

"Well, this is frustrating," Cindy said from Henry's doorway. She sounded far more amused than frustrated though. "I come bearing a birthday cake only to find I'm late to the pastry train."

She entered his office, holding a birthday cake (http://strategerie.files.wordpress.com/2009/07/chocolate-birthday-cake.jpg) from J,GoB. "You think you'll have room after that cupcake?" she teased.

Re: Talk to the Librarian [06/16]

[one-who-goes.livejournal.com]

"I think there is always room for cake," Henry said, gesturing Cindy in. "Thank you! I hadn't expected you to remember. That's -- wow. Wow is what it is."

Re: Talk to the Librarian [06/16]

Remember, stalk...they were both the same thing, right? Hey, it was just good spy protocol to have encrypted dossiers on everyone she worked with! One never knew when they'd have the beneficial side effect of knowing someone's birthday.

"All the work of the bakery," Cindy said, placing the cake on his desk. "Dinner last week exhausted my cooking tolerance for the next few--" decades "--months. But I'm glad you like it. I thought it looked delicious when I picked it up."

Re: Talk to the Librarian [06/16]

"Care for a slice?" Henry asked. "And you have to tell me when your birthday is so I can retaliate."
