"Sit here I'll be done in a second."
Ben, who would only respond to Kylo Ren nowadays, huffed and parked his butt in the nearby seat while his Uncle Luke went off to do...whatever it was they were at the library for. The tall boy sat bored, his arms folding loosely across his stomach, kicking his legs a bit. He watched other people walk in and out of the library; parents with their kids, groups of older kids, and an elderly couple or two, steadily growing bored as the second ticked away.
Kylo grumbled to himself, shifting his position in his seat as what felt like hours passed by. When he had reached his limit he stood up, stretched, and went off in search of his uncle.
What could his uncle be doing anyway?
He got out of the chair he had been sitting on and let his lanky legs carry him through the aisles of the library. This place was a lot bigger than it looked. Kylo hummed to himself; where would his uncle be?
He roamed, mostly dodging any of the library attendants that asked if he needed assistance. He was ten years old and could figure this out all by himself. He turned down an aisle and paused. In front of him was a short, dark-skinned boy, no more than five, stretching and reaching for a book on one of the upper shelves. Kylo watched a moment as the kid jumped a bit before slumping his shoulders in apparent defeat.
Kylo walked up to the shelf and plucked the book he assumed the other kid wanted, a big picture book it looked like.
The kid looked up at Kylo when he plucked the book from its place, worry etched on his face and he opened his mouth like he was going to protest, but was silenced when Kylo basically shoved the book into his hands.
"This is what you wanted, right?"
"Uh..." the kid's fingers curled around the large book. He pulled it to him and grinned wide up at Kylo, that worried look he had seconds ago melted away from his face. "Yeah! Thanks!"
Kylo shrugged and slipped his hands into his pockets. "No problem," he said before walking around the short boy to continue his search for his uncle.
Finn had a very serious dilemma on his tiny hands. A big book of pictures, his favorite book of pictures: pictures of places he's never heard of and can't pronounce, of cool buildings, and cool people, had been moved.
Just the day before after he had admired a very pretty picture of a sunset with all its pretty colors, he had placed it back on the sheld, a lower sheld than he had found it on because he wanted to find it easily later. But today when he looked, it was gone. Finn searched all through the library for the book, finding similar books bit not the one he had before.
The boy was getting upset.
But then, then he found it and almost broke the library rule by letting out a loud, excited noise. He quickly covered his mouth with his hands though, so it was okay. His excitement diminished as he walked closer to where he saw the book, seeing that it was on a high shelf, one he couldn't reach. He certainly tried to reach it but he was just too short. Finn was about to go off and find an adult to help him (hoping that the book was still there when he got back), when another kid, a tall lanky kid with messy black hair and pale skin, stepped forward and grabbed the book.
Finn whipped his head around, opening his mouth to tell the older kid that he had wanted to look at that book first and that he couldn't just take it. But stopped when the kid shoved the book towards him.
"This is what you wanted, right?"
He sputtered a moment but remember his manners and thanked the other kid. The other kid walked past and Finn held the book close to his chest. The young boy smiled happily to himself as a warm feeling settled in his chest. He turned and tugged gently on the lanky kid's shirt.
"My name's Finn."
The tall kid looked back at him. "Um...that's nice...I'm Kylo Ren..."
Finn smiled brightly at the older boy. He held up the book he was holding. "Do you like picture books?"
"I...guess..."
"Me too," Finn exclaimed, "This book is my favorite! It's gots lots and lots of really pretty pictures in it!"
The tall boy looked at Dinn, then the book and back up at Finn again. "That's nice...but I gotta-" he pointed behind himself.
Finn looked behind him but didn't see anything special over there. He gave Kylo a confused look.
"I'm looking for my uncle."
Finn's eyes widen as he looked back up at the tall kid. "You're lost?" He had never seen a big kid get lost before. Finn remembered when he had gotten lost last summer and how scary it had been. Walking through a sea of unfamiliar faces while trying to find parents felt the young boy in near tears.
"What? No, I'm not-"
Finn grabbed the older boy's hand. "I'll look with you so you're not by yourself."
The boy opened up his mouth again but just closed it again. Kylo smiled a little bit. "Sure. Thanks."
