I am sunburnt all to hell, it hurts. Haha, I can see the lines where my bracelet was. BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT! The point is...I didn't follow this prompt at all. Well...somewhat. Anyways, hope you enjoy
Imagine person A of the polyship reads a 300+ page book in a day and utterly terrifies the others.
"Bree, have you seen Stacie? She said she'd help me with my physics homework." Beca asks, walking into the living room where Aubrey and Chloe are cuddled up on the couch watching Baby Daddy.
The blonde lolls her head to the side against the back of the couch, looking at her shorter brunette girlfriend and shakes her head. "No, I haven't. Have you checked your room? That's where she was last time."
Beca sighs and walks off, blowing a kiss to Chloe when the redhead blows one to her. She arrives in front of the room she and Stacie share in their apartment and knocks lightly on the door. "Stace, you in there?"
There's a noncommittal hum from the other side and Beca walks in, seeing Stacie laying on their double bed; reading glasses falling from her nose as her eyes skim the pages of what looks to be the second book in The 100 series. With a raised eyebrow, Beca finds the first book next to her tallest girlfriend while the third book is in front of her. "When did you start these books?"
"This morning."
"Stacie, it's only 2 in the afternoon! You can't have read all of that in a few hours!"
Stacie looks up from her book to raise an eyebrow at Beca. "Oh? And why can't I?"
Beca doesn't have an answer, words failing her as she opens and closes her mouth a few times. Stacie smiles sweetly, almost as if mocking her fellow brunette, and returns to her current book. "That's what I thought."
Beca notices the bookshelf – the item of furniture she's avoided since they all moved in together since she doesn't care much for reading – and finally sees just how many books are stacked neatly for optimal storage space. Books like Before I Fall and Everyday sharing a shelf with Diary of a Wimpy Kid and Calvin and Hobbes; titles you wouldn't think would be seen together but then again, that's just Stacie. She hides her inner child in public, but this is in the safety of her room. She has nothing to hide here.
The bookshelf makes Beca notice just how much time Stacie spends reading; cycling through her memories and finding she can't pick out one in which Stacie doesn't have a book either in her hand or in her bag. The DJ finds that just because she can't read a complete series within a day doesn't mean Stacie can't. Now that she thinks about it, she's sure Aubrey and Chloe probably could as well.
Setting her bag down at the foot of the bed, Beca walks over to the bookshelf and takes one of the thinner books out of its place; a well-worn paperback with a picture of a kid in front of the Empire State Building and the words The Lightning Thief on the cover.
Stacie looks over when Beca climbs into bed beside her, smiling fondly at the book in her hand. "Percy Jackson. That's the series that made me fall in love with reading, I think you'll like it."
"What's it about?" Beca glances at Stacie before analyzing the book in her hands, reading the back for a general idea.
Stacie briefly explains the book without giving too much away, wanting Beca to be just as surprised as she was the first time she read the series.
A few hours later, that's where Chloe and Aubrey find the two; sitting side by side, books strewn across the double bed, noses buried in a book. Stacie finished The 100 and moved onto The Nine Lives of Chloe King while Beca's reading the beginning of Sea of Monsters, the second book in the Percy Jackson series.
Chloe lets out a small giggle, leaving the door cracked and moving back to the living room with Aubrey. "Do you think Beca did her physics homework before she began reading with Stacie?"
Aubrey rolls her eyes, making her way to the kitchen rather than stopping in the living room. "Not a chance."
I don't know what to put, I'm too hyper to think and I have a headache.
Hugs and kisses to those who want them and Love to those who need it
