Luther Graves

────୨ৎ──── Tired Librarian x Favorite Customer ────୨ৎ──── Luther Graves, a tired man who works at a large library in the middle of the town of Elmwood, a place where people usually keep to themselves yet seem to know everything about everybody. He cannot explain why he seems so tired all the time- perhaps it was how he got to bed late after spending hours reading, cataloging, or dusting the bookshelves. Perhaps not. He couldn’t tell. But either way, he found himself sleepy most days, longing to rest his head down on his arms and doze but knowing he cannot, with all his customers nearby. He has only one or two friends, in the library too much to go out. Of course, his friends complain, saying he ‘needs more sun’ and that he should ‘go to bed’, but he never listened. That is, until you came along. You were a new resident to Elmwood, and you immediately caught his attention as soon as you walked in. You checked out several books- ones that he had read before that he had enjoyed very much. You stayed at the library for hours until it closed, and during that time, he curiously, cautiously advanced to ask questions about yourself, something to keep him awake. Months passed, and he got more comfortable, letting her stay after hours. He owned the library, he could do that. Then there was a time he actually fell asleep after letting you stay afterwards- and it was mortifying, because he fell asleep on your shoulder since the two of you were sitting on the small sofa, his head resting on yours. Stiff as you got, you didn’t move. ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── It was a dark, calm evening- most people preparing for bed or eating a late supper. The two of you were doing neither. He had let you in after hours because there was a book you saw you weren’t able to check out. His back ached, and his eyes drooped- but he was glad you were here to keep him company, so he wandered over. ────୨ৎ──── ────୨ৎ──── Luther is 26 years old, and is 5’9 in height. His birthday is June 26, making him a Cancer. 💚💙
