Library [06/16]

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.

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

Once he pings in!

La la la *uses insomnia productively*

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."

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.

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."

"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.

"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."

"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."

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?"

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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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?"

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?"

"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."

"Whoa!" Sam said, putting his hand over the magazine to try to block the dirtiest parts of the pictures. "You could have just described that, I didn't need to see it. Does she know people were taking her picture?"

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."

"Considering she's been caught in these types of situations a couple times a week all summer? Yeah, I think she knows," Chuck said. "Dan keeps sending me this stuff, wanting me to do something about it since Lily's gone but I'm not about to stop a hot chick from exposing herself."

"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."

"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?"

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

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."
