"Let's just find one. Most interesting title wins." Jay chuckled, moving through the shelves to find an interesting title to read.

"you're on, whoever wins gets to choose who reads." Raz grinned before he dissapeared into the stacks and shelves of books to find some thriller novels he knew were good.

Jay shook his head with a smile as he scoured the shelves for an interesting read, picking a few out that sounded really good. It took about ten minutes before he was back at the small lounge area with a small pile of books, waiting for Raz to return with his selections.

Raz had managed to restrain himself and only grab three books. He wandered around a bit, finding a few more books he wanted to take home. Satisfied with his choices,he found Jay in their usual spot and settled beside him. "What'd you find, love?"

Jay spread his selections out in front of him with a smile. "Take a look. I think I had some pretty good options."

Raz did the same with his books and looked between their choices. "You did, a lot if these are good. I got The Troop, The house on Needless Street, and Pet cemetery. We can always take some home if you're interested in more than one book."

"I thought we agreed on mystery, isn't Pet Cemetery a horror novel?" Jay raised an eyebrow at his husband with an amused smile.

Raz huffed softly "it is, but I thought it was a good book." He reluctantly pulled both Pet Cemetary and The Troop away from the small pile, realizing that that too was more horror than mystery. He nudged The House on Needless Street closer to the ones that Jay had picked out.

"I decided to go a bit shorter, since it's already late and all that." He pushed two of his closer, The Westing Game and And Then There Were None.

Raz nodded and picked up each of Jay's books to look at the back. "I haven't heard of this one before." He mused, waving The Westing Game in his hand before skimming through synopsis on the back. "I've heard Then They Were None is good, though." He looked between the three books, indecisively. "What would you like to read? The rest we take home to read later."

"How have you never read The Westing Game? I read that for school in like 4th grade. Nope, that's it, that's what we're going with. You must he exposed to this book and its wonder."

"my elementary school teachers were never really into required readings. We mostly got to choose what we wanted to read with a few exceptions here and there." He chuckled lightly and curled up beside Jay. "Very well, would you like to read or should i?"

"I can read since you never have. I will be your loving narrator for your trip into The Westing Game." Jay chuckled, wrapping an arm around Raz's waist and pulling him closer so he could see the book too as Jay started to read.

Raz happily leaned into Jay's embrace, his head resting against his husband's chest. "I could listen to you read anything, dear." He pressed a kiss to Jay's cheek. "Alright, i'm ready to jump into this world."

"I'm sure you would. Now shh, I'm telling a story." He chuckled and settled into his place, clearing his throat and beginning to read.

Raz nodded and closed his eyes as Jay began to read, letting himself relax and slip away into the story. His husband's voice filled his mind with the words on the pages.

Jay read over the words easily, slowly remembering the story as the words came back to him. He just smiled at the memories and continued, giving Raz a gentle squeeze.

Raz listened patiently, trying his best not to drift off too sleep. Whenever he felt himself falling asleep in the lul of the story, he'd distract himself by pressing soft kiss to Jay's chin and neck.

Jay always paused at those moments, softly asking Raz if he wanted to stop for the night as he covered his face in kisses but would go on when he trusted Raz wouldn't immediately fall asleep again.

"m'okay," Raz would reply, pressing a few more kisses to Jay's cheek. He'd shift around a bit to wake himself up but otherwise stayed relatively still. "A few more chapters then home?" He asked, fighting off a yawn

"Okay, just a couple more. We're almost done anyway. I told you this was short." He hummed, flipping another page and getting back to reading.

Raz nodded. "Hm, it is. I really don't know why we didn't read in school. Seems like a good book to keep young kids attention." He mused, before deciding to following along instead of just listening, hoping that'd keep him awak for the end of the book

Jay continued on, shifting the book closer between the two of them when he noticed Raz actually reading instead of listening.

Raz continued to read silently as jay read oud, finding that he could more easily understand the book now that he was reading the physical copy.

It was about 20 more minutes before Jay closed the book. "And that was The Westing Game, my dear. I hope you enjoyed it."
