Knowledgeable Love (Stanford X Reader)

Chapter 12

Your eyelid opened slightly when hearing Ford call out your name quietly. It slowly closed. You didn't want to get up now, but you didn't want to be wasting the day already. You then pulled the sheet over your head.
   "No thanks, mom..." You mumbled.
   "C'mon, (y/n)." Ford shook you gently. "We're going to the library! Maybe it will have anomaly books there that will have more information on that slime creature." His six fingered hand was waving in your face, but you shut your eyelids tightly.
After a moment, which felt like forever, you got out of the bed and groaned.
   "Fine. I'm up..."
   "You should be getting some more sleep," he laughed, and put his hands on his hips.
   You lifted your suitcase onto the mattress and you opened it to find a new outfit. "Well," you chuckled. "You should be too, Fordsie."
His eyebrows creased, and he rolled his eyes jokingly.
   "I'll be waiting outside."

...

Once you found the perfect outfit, you joined Ford outside and you both trailed to town.
He stuffed his hands into his pockets and avoided eye contact with most of the townspeople. They couldn't seem to take their eyes off of him, and would whisper things like 'man living in the woods', and how he was so smart.
And you were surprised. Some would chat amongst themselves and ask who you were.
You gritted your teeth nervously, and until you both reached the library, the anxiety subsided.
   "Here we go!" Ford raised his hands as he went into an isle of books.
   "I'll take the other isle," you said quietly, and as you headed in, the sound around you blurred out.
Everything once again became greyscale, and you questioned it. Why again?
More of a maniac chuckle came from one of the book piles on a nearby desk. And you shuffled towards it warily.
"Hello?" Your voiced echoed as you approached the pile and a black top hat popped out of it, along with a yellow body.

Bill.

You suddenly thought, and stumbled backwards into some more books. You watched as he rised, and he wouldn't stop laughing.
"Tick tock. Tick tock," he practically screamed, and his whole body shattered, including the walls and books.

And suddenly you woke up on the floor.
"Heh. I told you you were tired." Ford helped you off the ground, and you were shaking like a leaf. "Hey, you alright? You look the same as you were when the slime creature sucked you in..."
The expression he was holding. Worried. Anxious.
You hung there for a moment, and shook your head vigorously.
"No, no! I'm fine. And yeah, you were right..." You gave a wry smile and he smiled back, grabbing your hand and pulling you to the book covered table.
"I found some anomaly books..."
