A log between Kidoumaru & Shino, takes place Saturday morning.
warnings: none
Saturday morning and Kidomaru knew he had sometime before his meeting tonight, if she bothered to show up that is. "Long as I have time to kill I might as well get some research done." He took the subway to the Shinbashi station and walked toward the Hibiya library. "I hope they have a useful book or two on the subject." He muttered to himself, pissed the other libraries failed him.
Shino was spending most of his days at the library now. His mother wasn't really all that entertaining to talk to, and television was just a bit loud for him. The library was near perfect. Silence was kept by librarians, so the only noises that would be heard were the shuffling of books or pages and occasional talk from the checkout desk.
Shino was near the non-fiction section of the library, reading in one of the armchairs that were there. He had a fiction book, but the non-fiction section was the one with the chairs to read it. He was reading The Hobbit silently, sometimes coughing a little.
A commotion was heard from the front desk, it seems Kido's temper had gotten to him since the librarian wasn't able to help him as much as he wanted him to. Something about privacy of people who take out books. "It wouldn't kill you to just tell me one bit of information." The librarian tried to hush him down and everyone was staring but Kido didn't care. He traveled to far to give up. "I'll just go look and see if you idiots just made a mistake." He took the gum out of his mouth and stuck it the book the librarian had open and closed the book on it.
Shino raised his head from reading his book when he heard a commotion at the front desk. He narrowed his eyes slightly- but, of course, someone else looking at him wouldn't be able to tell that was what he did due to his dark sunglasses.
Finding that it was nothing very important, nor anything that he would be interested in, he lowered his head and continued reading. He inwardly hoped that it wouldn't create such noise in the library that he would need to leave. Shino wasn't exactly looking forward to going home.
Kido was making a commotion as he walked around the library, almost daring anyone to do something. He knew he couldn't continue his research today so he decided to at least get in some good reading. He went to the non-fiction section, since it had chairs. He grabbed a book on spiders and sat in one of the chairs near Shino. He kept muttering to himself, not wanting to sit silently.
Shino raised his head again as he heard more unnatural noises and then turned his head as he realized that the person who had been at the desk was now sitting near him. When he heard the person start muttering, he glared slightly.
"Can you please not do that?"
He asked the other man, hopefully politely. Just because someone didn't have the patience to sit and read a book quietly didn't mean that he would leave yet. He liked to read in peace.
Kido’s muttering stopped when he realized someone had actually asked him to be quiet. He glared at the kid and looked him over. "Is there any reason why I should?" He was hoping on starting a bit of a commotion, anything to make the trip worthwhile. Then he realized he recognized the kid. "Hey wait, don't I know you? Yeah, your the kid who is obsessed with bugs aren't you? The only guy who can appreciate spiders as much as I do." A grin formed on Kido's face, he didn't care that he was loud and acting like an ass in the library.
"Yeah."
Shino minimally answered to the questions, still slightly irritated about the noise that the other person was causing. He coughed a little before asking,
"What was your name?"
Shino could tell him off for being noisy in a library when he learned his name. He took a slightly deep breath, trying to relax his irritated ness, and flinched slightly when he got a sudden chest pain- nothing to worry aboutª
"Tch, how can you not my name? I'm the main man, the ruler of the free world and the best there is the best there was and the best there ever will be. Kidoumaru, call me Kido." He extended a hand; he didn't expect the guy to take it but knew it was the right thing to do at least. People were beginning to stare and assumed they were both together.
"I'm Shino."
He replied, not accepting the handshake. He would call the other teenager Kidoumaru- Shino didn't like using nicknames. He was still irritated at him, after all.
"Also, you're not supposed to make lots of noise in a library because some people are trying to read, Kidoumaru."
He said, hoping this would end the conversation. He turned his eyes back to his book.
"Ah you would think that, but take into account how many people are reading right now and how many people are hanging on our every word. They find my commotion much more entertaining." He grinned and laughed; knowing everyone in the library was watching and listening to them. He realized Shino didn't want anything to do with him but he also knew he was bugging him to no end and that made it worth it.
"Well, I don't find it entertaining at all."
He said, once again shifting his attention from his book to Kidoumaru. Shino found it annoying that many people had their attention on him and Kidoumaru- also the fact that the other teenager was purposefully trying to annoy him. And the people could go on with their lives- it wasn't like noise in a library-attracted people like moths to a lamp. ª Well, that was untrue, but still.”
Kidomaru took some gum out of his pocket and began purposely chewing it loudly and oddly close to Shino. "Come now, I bet you like having everyone’s attention here. Kinda like you’re the lord of the library."
"No, I don't."
Shino replied, scooting his chair away from Kidoumaru slightly after he spoke. It was a rather difficult task- the armchair was rather big, and the librarians probably wouldn't like having their furniture moved around all over the place.
Oh look at that a rebel, moving Library property. You know that's against the rules right?" He began blowing bubbles just to further annoy Shino. He was tempted to stick gum in his book like he did the librarians, just to get a rise out of the guy. His level-headed-ness must have a boiling point.
"It was only a few inches. I can easily put it back once you leave."
Shino replied truthfully. He moved the chair a few inches away even more once Kidoumaru started blowing bubbles. He was still relatively calm on the outside, but inside he was seething. He would try not to let it show, though.
Kido could tell he was getting to him; he was beginning to respond with more then a few words and moving away instead of ignoring him. "But how will you know exactly how much to move it? What your not exact, or my pestering of you causes you to forget to move it back?" He blew one big bubble and held it out in his hand like a ball, moving it really close to Shino's book. "The chair is nothing if they blame you for damaging one of their precious books though..." He let the words hang like a threat.
Catching a quick glimpse at the page number, Shino quickly shut the book away from the ball of bubble gum in Kidoumaru's hand. He didn't want to have to pay for a book ruined by candy. Not only would it cost money that Shino's mother probably wouldn't lend, it would be embarrassing. He didn't speak this time, not wanting to accidentally say a non-stoic sentence.
"Oh I almost made you crack there. Your like this bubble, one good hit and you will burst." He poked the bubble and popped it, putting the gum back in his mouth. "At least I know you have your limits." He shrugged. "I won't bug you anymore. Lost its fun." He tossed his book at Shino and begun walking away. "See you here next time I visit the library." He began walking away.
"Let's hope I don't."
Shino said, then visibly relaxed when Kidoumaru left, but still had the other teenager's book in his lap now. He glared slightly, getting up to start moving the armchair back.
Kido turned to face Shino again and threw his gum at him, having it land on his chair instead. "Oh we will meet again, count on it." He left the library but not till he disorganized the desk of the librarian on the way out.
Shino glared at the retreating form, unnoticeable due to the sunglasses, then hesitantly removed the piece of gum from the chair and started walking towards the garbage can near the desk.
How come all of his social interactions this summer vacation so far had been bad ones?
