Clumsy- John Laurens x reader

Beautiful

There he was. The perfect guy. His curly brown hair was pulled into a loose ponytail and you were hypnotized by the way he gracefully flipped through several books.  He's incredible, you thought to yourself. Suddenly there was a loud crash and books were scattered all around the man you'd been watching. He looked around and instantly blushed when he saw you. 

"You saw all that, didn't you?" You glanced around, trying to see where he was looking. "I'm talking to you. We're the only ones here." You smiled sheepishly, 

"Oh, uh, sorry. I'm y/n and I, uh, did see that," You awkwardly navigated the sentence. He smiled and scratched the back of his head. 

"Nice to meet you y/n, I'm John. I hate to be a bother, but do you think you could help me pick these books up?" You'd never been so happy to clean in your life. "So what's a girl like you doing here?" John attempted to start a conversation. You cocked one eyebrow.

"What's that supposed to mean?" You were surprised at how aggressive you sounded and so was John. He looked up at you and saw how offended you looked.

"Oh, Jesus, sorry. I didn't mean to offend you, it's just that you don't see many beautiful girls with h/c hair and e/c eyes in an old library like this one," John explained. You instantly felt a blush spreading across your face. He called me beautiful.

"Oh." It was all you could manage to say. You and John finished picking up the books and ended up looking at books together. 

"So what kind of books are you into?" John asked you as you perused the shelves.

"Well I'm really into poetry but I like fantasy a lot too. How about you?" You turned to look at John and were surprised when you caught him staring at you. 

"Oh, uh, I like poetry and historical fiction, especially if it's about the revolutionary war." John smiled shyly. "Hey, um, do you wanna, I mean it's totally up to you, but I'd really like to go out for coffee, maybe, sometime?" John nervously asked you out. You grinned and nodded your head.

"It'd be my pleasure."
