Simon's Librarian Boy (A SnowBaz Fanfic)

Seriously? Him again?!

Simon

I'm waiting outside Penelope's Politics building with Shepard. We all planned to go out for tea once Penny and I are out of classes for the day. I finished mine an hour ago so it gave me time to change and get Shepard. Shep is talking to me about taking Penny on a date next week so I try to focus on what he's saying to me.

"Simon, should I wear a suit or not? I don't even think I own a suit!" He's smiling. 

I look over at him and give him a sad smile, "Shepard, I'm pretty sure Penelope wouldn't give a fig if you wore a suit. But you do you mate. I'm sure she'll love it anyways."

Shepard's gaze moves over at the door to the building so I turn my head to see what he's looking at and Baz strides out od the door looking posh as fuck. He's wearing dark grey trousers and a dark purple button down shirt. His custom belt looks like it would cost a fortune and his hair flops around his face with every step he takes. Gracefull and flawless. The wanker. He catches my eye and smirks, hefting his sachel over his shoulder. I glare at him and clech my fist into a ball. My face feels hot and my heart has hitched a few beats. 

Penny calls us, "Simon! Shep!" I shove off the wall I was leaning on and cast a quick glance at Baz before clearing my face and walking over to meet her. Shepard jogs over to her and catches her in his arms and Penelope laughs as he kisses her. She gushes and smiles over Shepard's shoulder at me, makeing her way over. I pull her into a hug and she groans.

"Ready to go? I told Agatha to meet us there." I say and look up. I see Baz again, sneering at me. There are two other guys at his side sniggering so I scowl at them too.

"Agatha's comming!?" Shepard beams, "I havn't seen her in ages."

"You've never seen her," Penelope shakes her head at him but a smile creeps onto her face.

Shep shrugs and smiles brightly. He grabs Penelope's hand, "for Merlin's Sake Simon. We're over here!" She waves a hand in my face and I startle, looking back at her. She looks over her shoulder to see what I was looking at, "Baz? Seriously Simon?" She shakes her head.

"I never understand your British slang." Shepard says, trying to spike up a convorsation. "Like, who is the Merlin guy?"

"You'll understand someday." I say. Penny starts to head over to the cafe and we walk in silence. When we get to the little cafe, Agatha is sitting in a small booth on the side. I smile and wave to her. She see's me through the window and waves back. 

I walk through the door and a wave of freashly baked scones and pies hits me in the face, all the hatred and anger I was feeling before dissapears. I take a deep breath in and smile to myself. Even though I work here doesn't mean I'll ever get used to the glorious smells of scones and tea.

Agatha stands up to hug Penny and me and Shepard beams at her. 

"Hi! I'm Shepard! I'm from Omaha Nebaraska, do you know where that is?"

Agatha laughs and nods her head, her hair waving as her head bobs, taking Shep's hand. "I am quite familiar with America. I do live in California. I'm just visiting for a bit." She looks over at me.

Somehow Shepard's grin widens as he asks Agatha about the weather and the people she meet there. I give Penny a concerning look. She shrugs and takes a seat beside Shep. I sit next to Agatha and she smiles.

"Can I get you chaps something to drink? Tea, perhaps?" A waiter asks. It's Ellie, she nods at me and I smile back at her.

"Yes, please" Agatha says, "Darjeeling, if you have it?"

"Of course. And you Simon?"

"Um, I'll have a green tea? Extra sugar and milk, please."

"Sure, and you?" She looks up and Penny.
