Something about the Bookstore | masterlist
Simon doesn’t want help. He doesn’t need it. But when the Captain assigns him a book to read during his mandatory break, he isn’t about to disrespect orders. That’s how he ends up in this “cozy” bookstore, staring at the same shelf for almost an hour while a restless, starving Soap keeps reminding him how hungry he is.
Enter Bookseller Reader, who’s been watching the two men struggle and quietly laughing to herself at how determined they are not to ask for help, despite clearly needing it.
Who knows? Maybe Simon will find the book on his own… or maybe bookseller reader will have to come over and give him a little push in the right direction.
