Library, Thursday All Day

[genesishero]

Evan hadn't been paranoid, per se, as he walked into the library for his shift. It was just that it had been a while since the books had done something really crazy on his watch, and he wasn't about to let himself get comfortable while there was still a chance of things going crazy on him while he was working.

At least he didn't have to wait long before he noticed what the weirdness of the day was. The books had set up a sort of speedway down the aisles, and all manner of books about car racing were competing to see who was the fastest read.

A very pink book containing tips and tricks for playing the arcade game, Sugar Rush, was definitely giving the rest of the books a run for their money, today.

"Just so long as you guys put yourselves away when you're done," Evan decided, and then settled back to watch the races.

"It's Genesis," he replied, offering her a tiny smile. "It's okay if people know around here... I don't think you're going to turn around and try to hurt my Ma or Pa."

It's okay if people know around here.

It was like the island's mantra. Everyone stepped on the island and it suddenly became safe for them to tell all their innermost secrets.

"I never would," she promised. "I mean, not that I'd hurt anyone's family, but I'd extra not hurt yours. You're my friend!"

Well, in fairness, Evan and Genesis both had a pretty distinctive face, overall. The codename didn't really make much difference, especially since he didn't have a mask or anything of the sort.

"Thank you." Evan's smile was a little broader, now. "And I meant what I said before, about if there was anything I could do. Don't hesitate to ask, okay? You're my friend, too. One of the best I've ever had."

And now there was hugging. Because how do you not hug after that?

"I just hope that stays true," Sholeh whispered, "if you ever find out everything."

Evan's hug was the squeeziest sort of hug he could manage, his arms wrapping right around her one extra time for good measure.

"It will," he replied, sounding absolutely certain of that. "You would have to be trying to get that to change. And trying really, really hard, at that."

So there.

She was pretty sure the whole, "Oh, yeah, my family and I are demons" might do the trick for her. But that was something else she was never going to bring up.

"Well, I'm not trying," she said, sniffling a little. "So there."

[genesishero]

Pfft, demons. Evan was destined to quite possibly single-handedly destroy the world. Top that, Sholeh.

"Good," Evan decided. "I was really hoping you'd say that."

He wasn't going to let go any time soon. Not when there was sniffling.
