Library Love [BXB]

Chapter 4.3

Blues pov

"Hey blue?" I hum softly. "I'll give you $20 if you tell me your real name." I stare at him.

"No."

"$40"

"No parker."

"$75"

"I'm not telling you."

"$300"

I stare at him, my eyes narrowed in his direction. "You'd honestly pay me $300 for my real name?" He nods. "I'm so fucking curious, the thought crosses my mind at least once a day." I laugh softly.

"Why does my name even cross your mind." He groans. "Because you're like a puzzle and i'm slowly figuring you out with new details every time we speak, yet i'm still missing the main piece." I frown.

"You don't know much about me." He rolls his eyes and leans back in the spinning desk chair sat behind the library counter.

"You're favourite fruit is oranges, you're favourite scent is vanilla but it has to be done right, you have a fear of the dark and claustrophobia, you're favourite animals are cats, frogs and deer but you love watching fish and birds, you're favourite meal is pasta because it tastes nice and is oddly filling, you-" I groan loudly.

"Ok parker I get it, you remember the random things I tell you." He gasps. "Are you implying you don't remember these things about me?" I giggle.

"Parker you talk more than me, I could write a book about you at this point." He grins and spins around on the chair.

"So yeah, as you can see my puzzle is pretty full but i'm missing the main piece to get the whole picture- oh and i'm also missing you're dramatic backstory." I laugh softly but all the time im pinching my leg, anxiety rocketing through me.

The thought of telling anyone haunts me to my core.

"My names parker." He frowns. "No it's not." I nod and look back to my book. "It is."

He stands up and walks over.

"So you're telling me we're both called parker. Absolutely not. I believe blue library more than that." I shrug.

"It is parker." He shakes his head again. "You can't have my first name but you sure as hell can take my last." I stare at him tilt my head. "But then I still have no name, so would owens be my name?" He groans and laughs.

"Blue it was a pickup line!" I stare at him. "Oh." He laughs and pats me on top of my head.

"Ok then my real name is Levi." He tilts his head. "I understand you're making it up but you could pull off Levi.

I laugh before shaking my head. "I'll tell you my name-"

"Really?"

"-eventually" he pouts and pulls me up out of my chair before engulfing me in a bear hug.

I feel a small blush creep onto my face. "Parker what are you doing." He keeps his arms wrapped around me.

"You're comfortable to hug." I laugh softly as his chin rests on top of my head as I gently loop my arms around him.

He's surprisingly comfortable.

"Hey blue?" I hum softly. "You aren't telling me your name not because you don't trust me right?" I shake my head softly.

"I trust you parker, it's just-" he squeezes me tighter.

"As long as you trust me i'll wait until you tell me." I smile softly.
