Fandom Library, Wednesday, February 19th

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

Arden came into the library slowly, yardstick in hand just in case the library books hadn't gotten the message that the pollen was over and they needed to behave themselves again. "Hello?" she called. "Y'all good?"

Coming further inside proved not only were the books back to behaving normally, the area had even been cleaned up, leaving it good as new. She held onto her suspicion for the first half hour of her shift, just waiting for whatever fresh madness was going to start just when she let down her guard.

It wasn't until she looked up and spotted a small, dark, winged shape fluttering through the air that she let herself relax. Bats? Sure. Bats were fine. She didn't know how they'd gotten into the library or when or how many, but now there were bats here and she was just gonna roll with it.

"It just so happens that I am," Arden said laughing. "And you can't just leave it there! What's happened? Did she surprise you with something good? Did you surprise her? Deets!"

Her grin widened as she pulled out and tossed a small bottle of rum to a squirrel who scurried away.

"I got her flowers and made some chocolate strawberries. She got me a really cool book, and some amazing things and..."

She let out a happy sigh. "She stayed in my room overnight. And then I made pancakes for her the next day."

NFB!

"Overnight?" Arden asked. "Like...crashed over and y'all cuddled all night and it was very sweet or, like, overnight?"

In response to Arden's question, Kamala smiled and took a long swig of her hot chocolate before responding in a very positive and emphatic: "Oh, yes!"

The noise that Arden made was enough to send the bats above them wheeling around in confusion. "Congratulations!" she squealed, reaching out to squeeze Kamala's hands. "I'm so happy for you both!"

"I'm just happy she's happy," Kamala sighed. Happily. "What about you and Cal? Did you guys do anything fun for Valentine's day?"

"No sleepovers, that's for sure," Arden said with a laugh. "Just hung out, got each other flowers, you know. Normal stuff because I was barely around. Does this mean you two are sharing a room for the trip...?"

Re: NFB!

"Awww. That still sounds pretty nice. I haven't asked El yet about the trip but I will and see how she feels. It's one thing to be in a room and another to share it for the week. Are you and Cal sharing?" Kamala asked.

"Probably?" Arden said. "We're not, uh, having overnights yet, but sometimes we do fall asleep together. Helps with his nightmares."
