Chapter seven

The sun rose on a new day, its warm golden rays spreading across the city and casting a gentle glow upon the awakening streets. The previous day's chaos had settled, gradually giving way to a sense of calmness that permeated the air. Among the citizens slowly recovering from the shock was Y/N, a diligent librarian who sought solace in the tranquil embrace of books. The events of the previous day lingered in their mind, playing out like a vivid dream, their every detail etched into their memory.

With their hands wrapped around a steaming cup of coffee, Y/N took a sip, relishing in the familiar and comforting warmth that coursed through their body. The aromatic beverage never failed to jolt them awake, revitalizing their spirit for the day ahead. Filled with renewed energy, they crossed the threshold of the library, greeted by the serene ambiance that cocooned the space. The air carried the enchanting scent of aging paper and ink, a fragrance that whispered of tales untold and knowledge waiting to be discovered. Each book-lined shelf stood as a guardian, silently beckoning to the curious souls eager to explore their pages. For Y/N, the library was not just a building, but a sanctuary of knowledge and a haven where they found solace.

Carrying a stack of books in their arms, Y/N made their way towards the librarian's desk, their footsteps muffled by the soft carpet beneath. In the corner of their eye, a captivating sight caught their attention. A man, engrossed in a thick volume, sat at a nearby table. His glasses perched elegantly on the bridge of his nose, enhancing his aura of intellectual absorption. Y/N couldn't resist stealing occasional glances, captivated by the intensity with which he immersed himself in the literary world.

Just as Y/N's gaze met the man's, a sudden surge of nervousness coursed through them, causing their heart to flutter anxiously. Their cheeks flushed with a subtle hint of pink, a charming display of their internal turmoil. Hastily, they averted their gaze, hoping to conceal their embarrassment, while softly whispering, 

"Oh goodness..." The memory of the previous day's encounter resurfaced, the unintentional slip of Atsumu's name weighing upon their thoughts.

 However, the allure of curiosity compelled them to steal another glance, to seek out the warmth of that smile once more. To their astonishment, the man returned their gaze with a smile that radiated warmth and genuine interest. It was Atsumu, a familiar face who had become a regular visitor to the library. Unbeknownst to Y/N, Atsumu led a double life as the crime-fighting hero Spider-Man, utilizing his extraordinary powers to protect the city.

"Good morning," Atsumu greeted, gracefully setting the book aside.

Summoning their courage, Y/N's voice quivered slightly as they replied, "Oh, how may I assist you?" Their heart quickened its pace, for the mere presence of Atsumu seemed to cast a spell upon them, evoking an unfamiliar sensation within.

"I was wondering if you happened to know where the physics books are?" Atsumu inquired, his eyes filled with anticipation.

"Physics... oh yes! They can be found in section 4, tucked away in the back corner," Y/N responded, their voice infused with a blend of excitement and nervousness. The thought of assisting Atsumu, even in such a small way, filled them with an indescribable delight.

"Ah, thanks!" Atsumu expressed his gratitude, a spark of appreciation glimmering in his eyes. However, before turning away, he pivoted back to face Y/N, curiosity dancing in his gaze. "So, you're new here, correct?"

A wave of warmth washed over Y/N, causing the room's temperature to rise perceptibly. Their palms grew slightly clammy, a physical manifestation of their inner turmoil. "O-oh yes! I just moved here from the Hyogo Prefecture," they replied with a gentle timidity, their words carrying a hint of vulnerability.

"Oh! Me too!" Atsumu exclaimed, his eyes widening with a mixture of surprise and delight. The revelation of a shared hometown evoked a sense of connection, a delightful coincidence that wrapped them both in an intangible bond.Y/N wanted to melt into the floor, overwhelmed by a torrent of emotions. The realization that they had unknowingly shared their previous location left them feeling exposed and self-conscious. The room, once spacious, now seemed to shrink around them, intensifying their desire to disappear from Atsumu's sight. Their cheeks blushed, their vulnerability laid bare, as they yearned for an escape from the embarrassment that clung to them like an unforgiving shadow."Well, it was lovely meeting you...." Atsumu began to say, his voice trailing off."Oh, Y/N! Sorry, my name's Y/N," you interjected quickly, a mixture of relief and fresh embarrassment washing over you at the misunderstanding."Ah, okay. Well, it was lovely meeting you, Y/N," Atsumu replied with a warm smile before gracefully stepping into the physics aisle, his departure leaving an ephemeral void in the space they shared.As Atsumu walked away, a peculiar sense of déjà vu enveloped Y/N, the feeling of familiarity tugging at the recesses of their mind. Like an elusive whisper, the notion that they had encountered him before lingered tantalizingly close, yet just out of reach. Every aspect of his presence, his gestures, and his demeanor felt strangely familiar, evoking an inexplicable connection that defied logic. It was a puzzle that refused to be solved, at least not in that fleeting moment. Yet deep within, a growing curiosity sprouted, urging Y/N to unravel the mystery surrounding the enigmatic man who had effortlessly captured their attention.Lost in a whirlwind of thoughts and unanswered questions, Y/N resumed their duties in the library. The tasks at hand demanded their focus, yet their mind continuously drifted back to Atsumu. Who was he, truly? And why did he feel like a piece of an unsolved puzzle, waiting to be discovered? The embers of curiosity smoldered within, igniting a flame of intrigue that would eventually propel Y/N towards unearthing the secrets that lay hidden beneath Atsumu's enigmatic persona.
