Books and Charms

Book Store

Finney glared up at the building like it personally did him something wrong. Bruce still kept a tight grip on him as if he was going to make a run for it.

"Shouldn't you be..I don't know ..holding your boyfriends hand?" Finney questioned Bruce.

Bruce turned to him and gave him one of his golden smiles. "Just tryna make sure you don't run off."

He only did that one time! And he had a good reason for it anyway. (He didn't)

Finney thought that they were just gonna hang out at the park. But Bruce brought up the new book store that just opened nearby and of course Vance agreed. And Griffin wanted to go for some reason too.

Finney on the other hand...he did not.

He didn't feel like wasting his Saturday at some book store. Finney wasn't a reader. He hated reading. The only thing that piqued his interests was space books, and that hardly counted honestly.

Finney didn't like sitting around flipping through pages of words. He thought most books were boring and none really caught his eye.

So what the hell was he supposed to do at a book store. He might as well be home. They could just swap him out with Gwen honestly.

Finney huffed and whined as Bruce started dragging him towards the door. Griffin was just dying of laughter the whole time.

"It's not like the books are gonna fucking eat you." Vance spoke up because of course he had to.

"Shut up! You only agreed because you're like a massive simp."

Vance definitely looked unimpressed. He quickly opened the door and held his hand out. Finney got flashbacks back to when he held that door open for the cops back in the eighth grade.

Bruce had finally let go of him when they all made it inside. Vance let the door close and a bell sound rung out. R&B music was playing and Griffin started moving his head to it as he made his way to a certain section.

Even though he didn't want to be here, Finney had to admit that the vibe of the place was pretty nice. The look of the place was the typical brown look of most book places. There were shelves with labels aligned with many books. And there were some shelves with jewelry on it. Earrings, rings, bracelets, and necklaces.

"Guess that's where the charm part comes from." Finney mumbled.

"What?"

Finney jumped. "Nothing. How long are we gonna be here for?"

Vance rolled his eyes. "As ever long as we fucking want."

Bruce gave a warning look to Vance before turning back to Finney. "Look just..try to find something. You never know Finney. And plus, I think they have a science section. "

Once Bruce finished he grabbed Vance's hand and lead the two to another section. Finney sighed before looking around for the science section and heading over there.

He tried browsing it but he really didn't want to be here so he didn't put that much heart into it. Finney put a book back down and moved his attention to the shelves decorated with jewelry.

Finney was actually really impressed. A lot of the jewelry looked really well made and was actually really pretty. There was a bracelet with different constellations on it. And not just the basic ones either. Finney considered buying it and this other one for Gwen. He wonders where the store got it from.
