Fandom Library, Wednesday, July 2nd

[afraid_of_marshmallows]

There was a weird beach tableau happening in the library today. Books - beach reads, obviously - were lounging around, while Beach Boys played from some portable speakers. Some books rested on towels, some wear floaties around their covers, a few are clustered around a couple of different coolers. Arden had no idea of what could even be in those coolers. What snacks and beverages would books even bring to the beach?

Not curious enough to actually tread into their space, mind.

At least not until she saw a pair of books with a bottle of suntan lotion between them, the paper cover pulled slightly askew. "Okay, absolutely not!" she called. "We do not put lotion onto the books!"

Sometimes, Cal felt guilty for dressing in a way he knew Arden would like, because it felt like manipulation. But the warm weather made him feel less like he was being inappropriate, and the beach setting got rid of any last anxiety.

"Did you set this up to encourage outdoor reading or was the place just like this today?" he asked. BD-1 hopped off of his shoulder and immediately went to the speakers to judge the tech hookups like a nerd.

"Just like this, but now I wanna pretend like I did," Arden said, giving Cal a grin and a looooong onceover, her eyes lingering on his arms just a bit. "Makes me seem a lot more industrious." She leaned across the counter to kiss him. "Hiiiiiii."

"Hi," Cal said warmly, kissing her back happily. "You can take credit, I won't tell anyone. Isn't beach reading a thing? Like, if you go on vacation you get to read bad books?"
