The Library

After fixing himself some lunch, No Longer slunk back to his room. Not having anything else to do, he started up the computer and logged in, going to write.

Doing this, time started to fly by. He was pretty much zoned out by the time it was 2:00.

Of course, that was until he heard voices outside his door.

"I'm going to the library, and I'm dragging you along so nothing gets burned down."

"Hey! Why don't you go yourself? Our new roommate can 'babysit' me if that's really something that concerns you!"

"I haven't seen him all day! For all I know he's still asleep, fandom jumping is exhausting!"

"Fine! How long will we be there?"

"Not long, I'm just looking for some reference to write an au."

"Okay, maybe something interesting will happen."

"Come on, it's just down the hall."

With that, the voices got quieter and quieter until No Longer couldn't hear them at all.

Wait. I should probably go with. I still haven't met them properly!

Scrambling out of his chair, No Longer hurried to chase after the two.

It seemed they had already left the apartment, far ahead of where he was.

Going out the door, he saw them turning a corner.

Ah! There they are.

Walking quickly, he went to catch up. That was until pink jacket boy spoke up.

"Hey Whoops, race you there!"

"Hey!"

No Longer sighed as the sound of running faded down the corridor.

Deciding he would have to dash over to them, he broke into a relatively fast run.

It seemed that the library was further away than he thought.

"-hy are we going here again?"

"Because if I leave you at home you might set fire to something, and I needed to grab a book."

Finally catching up, No Longer was gasping for air, completely out of breath.

"You went to the library and didn't think to invite me?"

Pink jacket's face lit up as he whipped around to face No Longer.

"New kid! Except, not really because we already have someone named new kid. . . Oh! Yeah! Sorry. . . Whoops said you were probably still asleep so I didn't want to disturb you- sorry again. Anyways, my name is Ferret."

Whoops's face was a little red, feathers puffing up on her wings in embarrassment.

"I didn't know if you wanted to come along or not. Uhmmm. . ."

They looked towards the ground.

"Well. . . My memory is also shit and I may or may not have forgotten. . ."

No Longer let out a huff of laughter.

"I ran all the way here after you and you didn't even realize I was there! I've been told I have no presence but jeeze! I'm a little offended!"

She smiled and shrugged. "I'm just that blind!"

Ferret kicked her foot. "What Whoops means is that, well, you could've been anyone! We were in the hallway and so many people live here-"
