found their phone number in a library book au

Rated K+

Terra hadn't meant to do it. It was stupid and he was bored. He'd been stuck in this library for over five hours now and Ventus wasn't budging until he found what he needed, annoying high school little brother that he was. He was home visiting, they should be doing something fun, not stuck in a library like Terra was almost every other day developing his thesis. So, Terra had picked up a book that was close by. Something about the philosophy about forming bonds or something like that. He had just been flipping through pages, not really intending on reading the book, and stumbled on something interesting on a page with a star shaped glass pendent and some writing around it. It was a phone number. Normally this wouldn't interest him at all, but Ventus was pushing his limit with how long he could sit in the quiet library on his day off. He wasn't doing anything important so why not try it? Probably wasn't even a real number. He pulled out his cell and shrugged; might as well. He entered the number and hit the send button calling the number. He waited. One, two, three, fo-

"Hello?" Terra blinked as his body snapped into alert. Someone had actually answered the phone?! Not just anybody. The voice sounded like a girl. "Hello? Who is this?" The female asked making Terra stare at his phone for a few seconds before his brain started to work again.

"This is a real number?" He asked then immediately slapped his forehead. How lame could he sound?!

"How did you get my number?" The girl asked clearly unhappy that a random guy now had her number.

"It's in a book at the library. I thought it would be fake." He replied hearing an annoyed sigh come from the voice.

"My friend did that while we were studying. Could you do me a favor and erase it?" The female asked and Terra quickly grabbed a pencil and erased the number.

"It's still faint but you'd really have to look to notice it." Terra finished waiting for a reply.

"Thank you." She said then there was a bit of an awkward silence.

"So, what's your name?" Terra asked feeling a bit bold.

"Aqua, yourself?" Aqua. Terra liked the sound of it.

"Terra." He replied seeing it as only fair.

"Nice to meet you Terra. Thank you again for erasing my number from the book." Aqua said making Terra feel a small shiver run up his back at her saying his name.

"No problem. Wouldn't want just anyone calling you, huh Aqua." He tested hearing her laugh softly.

"No, wouldn't want that. Who knows, maybe it would have been some strange boy thinking it was a fake number. How embarrassing." She had a slight teasing tone in her voice making Terra smile. She seemed fun.

"Ha ha, I would have at least picked a better book." He commented hearing her huff. Oh no.

"There is nothing wrong with that book. Have you even read it?" She asked him. Busted.

"No, just flipped through a bit of it then found your number." He admitted.

"Well, check the book out of the library and read it. Then call and complain if you still think it isn't good!" She huffed and hung up. Terra looked at his phone and frowned a bit. That could have gone better. He tossed his phone on the table earning a stern look from the librarian. He looked away and back down at the book. Stupid number making him talk to probably the most interesting girl he's ever talked to, then making her get mad at him. He sighed and put his head in his hands looking down out the phone and the book. Wait a minute.

Aqua had told him to read the book then call her back! She wanted him to call her again! But he couldn't just call her without reading the book. She would just hang up on him.

"Ventus I'm driving you back home then heading out." He said moving over to the counter, book clasped tightly under his arm.

He'd done it. 500 pages later and he was done. It took him two days due to practice for club and classes for his grad program but he was pretty proud to have only taken two days, and he was surprised that he actually liked the book. He dropped his gear on the floor and flopped on the bed in his apartment pulling out his phone. He quickly pulled up Aqua's name, hers being the first contact in his phone, and dialed.

"Alright, let's hear it." Aqua said as a greeting. He smirked to himself, she had saved his number into her phone under his name. She remembered. She had wanted him to call her again.

"I liked it." He said bluntly. There was a small pause then Aqua spoke up.

"What?"

"I liked the book. The talismans were an interesting chapter. The Wayfinders seemed cool." Terra said hearing Aqua laugh.

"You actually read the book." She said in disbelief.

"Well I couldn't just call you back without reading it now could I?" Terra laughed.

"Well . . . You could have. I never actually thought you would read it." Aqua admitted.

"Oh…" Terra said feeling a bit silly. Maybe she didn't even like the book?

"So Wayfinders. I ended up making one for the project my friend and I were working on. The design is simple but it's hard to think of someone you would want an unbreakable bond with." She said making Terra smile.

"Yeah, I liked the concept of them binding people forever, but it can be any kind of relationship, not strictly romantic." Terra said getting comfortable on his bed for the discussion he knew was about to happen.

"Right! I know that the Wayfinders and based off of the Paupuu legend but I find them a bit more interesting. " Aqua admitted and the two began their talk.

"I still think it would be harder to live up to the expectation of the person who gave it to you. What if you change and that person doesn't want you a part of their life anymore?" Terra asked her. They had been talking for two hours now.

"Then they didn't mean it when they gave it to the person." Aqua replied seriously. He smiled and chuckled. "Hey…. Terra?" Aqua hesitated for a moment.

"Yeah Aqua?" He asked honestly curious about her tone of voice.

"How . . . how old are you?" She asked suddenly making him sit up.

"24." He said thinking about this suddenly. He hadn't even considered who he was talking to. Aqua seemed really mature and he had just assumed…. He could be talking to a girl Ventus's age for all he knew.

"Oh thank god." He heard her gush out. "I'm 21. I just remembered that I have no idea who you are or anything about you." She ranted clearly feeling relieved that he was around her age, he couldn't agree more.

"21, huh? Well you're extremely intelligent. Are you at a University?" He asked hearing her make a musing sound.

"Thank you for the compliment. And yes, I'm in my final year." She said waiting for his response.

"I'm in Grad school." He replied.

"What are you studying?" Aqua asked him suddenly.

"Engineering." He said hearing her make a small remark to someone in the room with her.

"Interested in research then?" She asked him. He laughed.

"Yeah, I want to see what my limits are and how I can use those to a technical advantage. " He said hearing a chuckle come from her. "What are you studying?"

"Philosophy and Literature duel major." She responded.

"Interesting. The book makes sense now." Terra replied hearing her laugh.

"I guess so. Well I have to go, the dining hall closes in about half an hour and my roommate is getting antsy." She said. Terra frowned not really wanting to end their conversation there, especially not when she was beginning to open up and share personal things about herself.

"Aqua wait!" He yelled hoping she wouldn't hang up.

"Yeah?"

"Can you text?" He asked.

"Yes." She said making him smile.

"Mind if I text you?" He asked her holding his breath.

"Not at all." She said softly boosting his confidence.

"Alright, go eat and I'll text you later." He said knowing how annoying roommates were about things like that.

"I'll talk to you later Terra." She said then hung up.

The first time Terra had texted her they had both stayed up until 4 am texting information about each other. The first time Aqua had texted Terra she had told him what university she attended. The fourth time Aqua texted Terra it was a photo of her. Terra had called her immediately to tell her how beautiful she was, knowing that a text didn't do her justice. Terra had sent her a picture of himself which she had responded with "your hair is different than I thought". The twentieth time Aqua had texted Terra she was walking back to her dorm late after leaving a party that had made her uncomfortable. The two-hundred and fourth time Terra texted Aqua he was drunk and told her that he would give her a Wayfinder. The six hundredth time Aqua texted Terra she was drunk and had sent him a picture of her laying on her bed in only a ripped shirt she had stolen from his room when she had needed a break from school. That had led to an interesting night. The nine hundred and forty- seventh time Terra texted Aqua it was to let her know that he was leaving his apartment and he would see her in an hour.

"Hey, I'm down stairs." Terra said as soon as Aqua answered the phone.

"I'll be right down!" She said hanging up. He laughed and waited by the main entrance to her dorm building. The door opened and out stepped Aqua in a dark blue sweater and tight black jeans. She looked amazing.

"You came!" She said rushing over to him and gave him a hug. He laughed and hugged her back. She pulled back and kissed him which he happily responded to her. After a few moments of missed kisses Terra pulled away.

"Of course I did! It is your birthday." He said looking down at her. She was beautiful. He cleared his throat trying to not get distracted by her. "Come on, we have a dinner date." He said seeing her smile as the two headed back to his car. The two chatted and Aqua is positive that she has never had a better birthday. They ate at a nice place and Terra was the perfect gentleman. They talked the whole time about everything and anything. Aqua congratulated Terra on completing his Thesis while he congratulated her on passing all her finals with flying colors and getting accepted to the graduate program she had wanted to get into. They finished eating and headed back to the car.

"You're staying for tomorrow right?" She asked looking at him.

"Like I would miss your graduation?" He laughed noticing a tear slip out of the corner of her eye. "Hey, woah, what's wrong?" He asked surprised to see her crying.

"Terra . . ." She took a few deep breaths to calm down. "I'm really really glad you called me." She said smiling to him with all the affection should could put into a glance.

"I'm really happy that it wasn't a fake number." He said parking the car and kissing her.
