Hey guys, I had a lot of help to write this. I thank all who have helped me write it. Anyway enjoy the chapter


Shiro walked into the huge old library that had many floors and thousands of books. Most of these are old copies and some are brand new. Despite it being a library, it gives off a nostalgic feeling of home. He gazed around for his ''study date.'' Well, according to his best friend Lance, it's a study date. He heard the bell of the door and turned around to see his best friend adjust his ear piece.

''So, the chick is not here yet?'' Lance asked, walking over to his friend.

Shiro looked over at his friend. "She's not a 'chick', Lance. She's a human, not an animal. Besides, I'm sure she'll be here any minute now."

He smiled at his happy dork of a friend. Sometimes Lance looked like a kid in a candy store, making Shiro look like his boring old grandpa. "You almost seem more excited than I am."

''Dude, this is like the first time, you have a date with a girl, even though you're surrounded by books and…'' Lance sighed. ''I am not going to miss this for all the girls in the world.'' He paused for a second and wiggled his eyebrows. ''Maybe she has a cute friend who is single?''

Shiro rolled his eyes and huffed. ''Lance how many times do I have to tell you; it's study time not date time.'' He walked over to an empty table and put his stuff down. He figured that he should get everything ready before she gets here. From his bag, he pulled out his papers, notes, some pens and his laptop.

"If you keep saying that you'll be old and wrinkly by the time you get a girlfriend. Later, dude!" Lance put his arms behind his head and walked away. Shiro didn't know where he was going, but he probably won't be that far. He was here to help him get through this, after all. Not by his own choice, Lance just kind of invited himself to that task.

His knee would stop shaking. He wasn't nervous. Why would he be nervous? It's not like she'd forgotten it. Or did she? Argh, what if she did? Lance would hold him for a fool.

''Shrio?'' A voice said from behind him. Shiro turned around to see Katie standing behind him. Katie looked even prettier than before. Her hair was pulled back in a ponytail, making the hairs on the side of her face pop out. She was wearing a green dress.

Was the light always this bright? And his clothes so warm? Is he sweating? Yes, he was. He must be really unsure about his programming skills. "H-Hi there, Katie," he said.

Katie blushed a little, but then nodded ''Hey shiro.''

Meanwhile

Lance walked casually through the library not drawing attention to himself. He smirked and stop to gaze at the ladies who were reading. For the first time he stopped himself and headed into the kid's room and found a cozy bean bag chair. The chair was behind a small kids' desk that had some books on it. Perfect as his hiding spot.

''Aww, just like my young days.'' Lance smirked, sitting down.

A young boy with a mullet noticed the tall guy sitting on a bean bag chair that could barely fit him and walked over to him ''Aren't you a little old to be sitting in a bean bag chair. You're breaking it.''

Lance looked at the boy with disbelief. Kids these days got a big mouth on them. "Oh yeah? Aren't you a little too young to have a haircut from the 70's?" The boy narrowed his eyes and stuck out his tongue. And Lance did so in return.

"Now move along, mullet boy," he said, shooing the boy away with his hand and pulled out some binoculars. Unfortunately for him, the young boy sat down next to him.

Lance sighed heavily. ''You know there are plenty of bean bags around here.''

The boy just sat there and pulled out a spiderman comic.

''Anyway back to work.'' Lance said peeking over to his friend. He saw him talking to a girl. Lance smirked and thought the girl was cute. They looked into each other eyes without really saying anything.

''Shiro, I know she cute, but you need to move on with your date.'' Lance said into the ear bud. He hoped his friend would snap out of it.

Lance's voice ran through his ear. Oh right, focus. Patience yields focus. "So, uh, Katie, where do you wanna start?"

She smiled at him and pulled a list out of her bag. There were many difficult titles written on it. And there were a lot of them. "Let's start with gathering these books, okay? And then we'll see what else we can do for today."

Shiro looked at her for a moment. He was lost into her lovely eyes. "Um, sure books, yeah let's go get books!" he said and let her take the lead. Clam down, Shiro. Did I really just say that out loud?

Katie smiled and then took the lead thinking about what shelves the books would be under. It's a big library, which means their sections of every genre are big too. They should probably ask the librarian on where to start looking. Meanwhile, she was thinking about Shiro.

Wait! Why was she thinking about Shiro? Huhm… Maybe because it's for his project? That must be it! Now back to finding these titles or else they'd be stuck here all afternoon just searching for them.

A little while later

They got all the books they needed. Shiro was so kind to carry them all. Or rather, Lance told him to do that or else he'll look like a douche. Only problem was that he couldn't see where he was going. So the only sense for direction he had was Katie's voice. And while he was so lost in it, the inevitable happened….

For a moment the world before his eyes went black before he looked up to a bright view.

"Woah." Shiro said looking at the bright lights. He swore he could see angels up there.

Lance facepalms himself and sighs. "Get up you dork before she see you."

She was in mid sentence when Katie turned around and saw an empty view of where Shiro and books should be. She looked down to the ground. "Why are you on the ground?" she bluntly asked.

"Say something, you dork!" Lance says to Shiro.

The boy next to him looks up at Lance, grins and says: "Yeah, you dork." Lance looked at the boy next to him. "Don't repeat what I say, go read your comic book. This is grown up stuff."

A little farther from them, Shiro finally got up and started to restack the books again.

Katie giggled and then grab a couple of books. "Here, let me help you with that." She smiled, grabbing about four books and placing them neatly on top of each other.

"Th-thanks," Shiro stammers. He's so caught up in picking up these books, that he doesn't realise when he knocks them over. The whole pile falls on Katie. "Oh shit- I mean, dammit- Crap, I-I… Ugh!"

He stops himself from saying anything else. Katie just smiles at him and shrugs. She pulls her leg away from under the books and starts to restack them again. "Don't worry. It's probably the universe's way of paying me back for spilling that coffee on you."

She doesn't even mind the books falling on her? She really is sweet.

Back in the kids section, Lance is covering the young boy's eyes to prevent him from seeing this embarrassing scene. This is turning into a catastrophe. He's about to remove his hand when he feels something wet slide along his hand.

"Eeww! What did you do that for, mullet?" Lance grimaced at his wet hand.

The young boy glared. "My name isn't 'mullet', it's Keith! And stop covering my eyes!"

Lance rolled his eyes and focused back on his friend. They were sitting back at their table, organizing all the books.

Katie asked him what he needed the programming for. And while Shiro explained his project, she started to take notes.

After about ten minutes it got boring for Lance, who watched them talk about boring information. He smirked as an idea came into his head. "Watch and learn kid, they just don't call me the 'love doctor' for nothing."

Keith gave him a strange look but Lance ignored it. This kid doesn't know anything."Alright Shiro, start getting closer to her."

Shiro looked a bit troubled while Katie was explaining the basics of programming. All this knowledge was probably important, but he had been spacing out every couple of seconds. He whispered into the earpiece: "What do you mean 'get closer to her'?"

For the so manieth time that day, Lance facepalmed himself and groaned. "You know, put your arm around her, scoot closer to her, you know!"

Shiro looked even more troubled now. And probably a little red. Not even flying in the simulator was this nerve wrecking.

Hesitantly, he dragged his chair closer. It's a start, right? Katie looked at him, looking a little surprised herself. "W-why are you getting closer?" she asked.

"Oh uhm, well, I just… Wanted to see your notes to see what you'd written down," he said with red cheeks.

"Oh, okay." It made sense since it's for his project, so she didn't question him further. The smile she gave him was too sweet.

Keith observed the two together with Lance. He wondered if grown ups are always this clumsy. "He has a dumb look of his face," he says.

"Yeah, I know, kid," Lance replied.

"He needs our help," Keith said looking at them.

Lance looked at the boy confused. "There's not much more we can do!"

Keith held up a finger to silence Lance and smiled. "We need music. You know, mushy love music." He got up and walked away. Leaving a confused Lance behind while he went to find his bag.

"Where are you going, kid and who leaves a 12 year old at the library unattended?!" Lance asked out loud.

Keith came back with an iPod. After some scrolling he apparently found what he was looking for. Turning the volume all the way up, which was pretty loud, the song started to play.

Both Lance and Shiro's faces turned beet red when Katy Perry's 'Teenage Dream' started to play. Shiro whipped his head at the direction of the music to see Lance trying to… fight a 12 year old boy over an iPod? And he was losing?

"Where's that music coming from?" Katie asked. Shiro couldn't bear to look her in the eye. "I have no idea," he said.

In his ear he could hear Lance yelp in pain as the boy stood on his foot and got the iPod back. His poor friend. He never stood a chance.

Katie was smiling. "It's not my favourite song, but it's nice," she said, "wanna continue on your project?"

Shiro nodded as the music continued to play. He did a warning glance at the two on the bean bag chair and then went back to working on his project.

An hour later of quiet and alone time. Time seem to go by fast and he loved being with Katie. She knows what she's talking about and actually made it easier for him to understand. The clock struck 6pm.

"I've got to go, my mom wants me to make dinner." Katie said looking at him and gathering her stuff.

Shiro helped her and smiled as she was trying to gather the library books. "It's okay you go I'll pick up the rest," Shiro said. He accidentally placed his hand on her hand.

They both pull away for the other to grab the book. Katie smiles at Shiro and in return he smiles back while picking up the book. "Thanks Shiro. You're kind..." Katie blushed and then waved goodbye heading out the door. Shiro sighed and then turned back around to Keith and Lance.

They… were being lead to him by the librarian. Apparently Lance threw his binoculars at Keith when the young boy pushed him out of the bean bag chair. They are not permitted to be in the library without supervision. Shiro thanked the lady and said he would take them home.

"Alright Lance, come with me." Shiro said looking at his friend. He looked at Keith "Um..."

Keith shrugs and turns to Lance. He smiles at him with amusement and mischief in his eyes to match Lance's annoyed look. "See you around, you dork." He started to walk away before turning back to tell Shiro: "Oh and not bad lover boy, but you should find a better love doctor."

Shiro looked confused at the boy who waved them 'goodbye'.

"He's a mean boy." Lance said looking at his friend.

Shiro patted Lance on his back. "Come let's go." Shiro rolled his eyes and took the lead.
