The boy walked to the counter, his steps light and quiet albeit the red high-tops, and gently set the worn book on the counter. Hitoshi watched as he fell into idle conversation with the tired librarian, fidgeting with his skinny hands yet again.
A yawn escaped Hitoshi, though he found himself unwanting to leave. Their idle chatter was simple background noise as he read.
“Hey, the library is closing, you gotta go. You want to check that out?” The librarian asked him. Hitoshi hadn’t even noticed she was there. “Oh, uhm, yeah, sorry.” The lavender haired boy had been to this library before, having his library card. He put the book on the counter, yada yada, checked it out. He and the greenette simultaneously left, both going the same direction. Neither striked a conversation. The boy turned to cross, and Hitoshi simply said “Bye.” Receiving a wave from the other boy. He wondered how many freckles the boy had. Hitoshi continued walking home.
He entered his house quietly, unknowing if his temporary guardians were at work. He snagged a granola bar from the pantry, and skittered off to his room.
That boy seemed familiar.
