Could you possibly write a fluff where Atsushi is a librarian and Akutagawa is a regular at that library?

42/365: Literary


The main room is large, yet specifically designed so that it
doesn’t produce any echo. Kunikida calls it “the epitome of modern
architecture.” Atsushi, on the other hand, simply admires the library for its
silence.

Working there doesn’t pay extremely well – their funds keep
getting cut because the crime rate is soaring and the county would rather spend
money on a new jail – but it’s peaceful. Shelving books is relaxing, Atsushi thinks,
and he can spend hours behind the help desk, not particularly doing anything
except categorizing the new books, which takes about as much concentration as
monitoring a rock. Working at the library seems to be the perfect fit for him.

“I need help finding something.”

Atsushi’s broken out of his thoughts and back to the
present. He pulls his gaze away from the book he’s shelving and blinks, staring
at the man in front of him. If he wasn’t hunched over, he thinks they might be
the same height. Atsushi smiles.

“Of course; what can I help you with?” he says brightly, but
softly. The man doesn’t smile back.
