Rainy Description (TYLER X LOGAN)

This

Its a couple days after school ended. I had just finished dinner with my mom, my sister, and my sisters new boyfriend, Ben Clark.

Hes not that bad, but I still glare at him. I feel like that's just an older brother's required thing.

Ben and Taylor are baking cookies, so afterwards I climb in bed and look at my messages. 

Lolo
6:38 PM

Lolo: Wanna hang out at the library today? I have some books I wanna tell you about :]

You: Sure, what time?

Lolo: Idk, what time does the library close??

You: Library closes at 10, how fast can you get ready?

Lolo: How fast can YOU get ready, I'm already here, lol

You: Omw :))

"Knew it," I said as I walked to his reading spot.

He smiled at me and scooted over. I climbed next to him and sat down, and almost immediately felt the weight of his head on my shoulder.

"Okay," he pulls out a stack of books from his messenger bag. "So this one was really good, alot of people read it but I'm guessing YOU haven't," he says as he hands me a book called The Giver.

Wow, is thinking low of me just a thing I didn't catch?

"Same with this one, pretty big on popularity, but you don't touch books alot." He hands me a book called The Book Thief.

I feign offense but look at the covers and backs of the books.

"And this one's not super duper famous like Harry Potter or something, but its one of my favorites." He hands me the final book.

We'll prescribe you a cat.

I smile at the cover. "Cute," I say as I set it down with the others.

He takes his head off my shoulder and raises an eyebrow at me with a smile. "Keep them."

"What?"

"I know your mom would be over the moon to know you were actually reading. Read them, they're all good."

"I'm not really a book guy."

He leans back on my shoulder and dramatically melts down. "Please? Do it for me?"

I chuckle. "You know me so well," I start, "I got you something, too."

I take my backpack off and unzip it. "I noticed you wear bracelets a lot. So,"

I take out the roll of string I bought and he laughs. "A roll of string? I oughta give you my firstborn."

"Haha very funny." I reply as I take out the container of beads I bought as well. "Wanna make bracelets?"

...

"Put your arm out." He says.

I stick my arm out and he ties a bracelet around it. It's different shades of purple- violet, lilac and lavender beads on it. It's got one of the little book charms I bought on it as well.

"I love it," I say, pretending to pose with it and making him laugh.

"What page are you on?" He asks.

I peek at the cat book he had asked me to read. "One sixty-five."

"Wow, you read fast. Thats a good skill you should put to use more."

"Nah, I think I'll finish these books and take a year long break."

He slaps my arm with a wider grin. "Tyler Hernandez!"

"Why do you want me to read so bad?" I ask, nudging him back.

Logans silent for a moment before speaking quickly. "Not important. Now,"

He puts his pinky out. "You have to pinky promise me you'll keep reading. Even when you get older youll stop at the library at LEAST once a month."

"Why are you making me promise this now? Just check in on me once a month." A say with a small laugh.

"Shut up and just promise me."

"Fine. I promise."

...

"It's raining pretty hard," I yell from the door as he walks out to the bus stop.

He stops and turns around. "Unless you've got another idea I'll be fine!" I roll my eyes and pretend to be annoyed, then run over to him.

"Here," I say, taking off my jacket. He puts it on and I shove the hood over his hair. He pulls it back so its not over his eyes.

"Thanks," He replies. The bus pulls in behind him and he turns around.

I yell that I'll see him later and he stops for a minute before continuing onto the bus. He turns around at the top steps. "Love you!" He yells.

"Love you too!"

It slips out of my mouth.

It's not that it isn't true.

Because it is true.

I do really love him.

And I don't know why that's a thing with him.

If I say 'see you later' he gets awkward about it.

I don't know why.

I knew what was going on when my mom got a call from his grandparents.
