♡Anime: Dr. Stone♡

"Hey Y/N can you...oh my bad!" You hear a familiar voice say as you lift your head off the floor and straighten your back. Though your bottom half remains in a perfect split formation as you smile brightly at your unexpected visitor.

"Oh hey, Taiju, what's up?" You ask as you chuckle lightly at Taiju's expression at seeing you doing the splits. You've been the head of the dance club ever since your first year in high school, now that you're about to graduate you're thinking about going to an art school but still haven't found the time to record a video application for the dance programs. Considering your ultra bubbly and friendly personality it would've been nice to have the class president on your resume too. If it weren't for a certain science freak that stole it from you that is...

"Y/N no matter how many times I see you stretch I always feel like human bodies should not twist like that," Taiju says as you roll your eyes and slowly rise to your feet.

"If you practiced I'd even be able to get you to do a perfect split. I taught Yuzuriha how to do one..." You allow your sentence to trail on as you see Taiju's face immediately flush red as he processed the information he'd just received. You walk over and tap him gently on the shoulder to bring him back to earth.

"Anyway, what did you need? I'm already done with practice for the day, I was just stretching," you say as Taiju lets out a sudden yelp before bowing down in front of you and gesturing the box in his hands towards you. On top of the box, you see the name 'Senku' written on top with a drawing resembling the spiky leak hairstyle that he has.

"Senku asked me to grab this box for him but I forgot that I promised to hang out with Yuzuriha after school today. Would you mind running this to Senku, but like gently? There's no telling what chemical is inside this box and I don't want you to explode," Taiju explains quickly as you manage a tiny smile.

While you get along with almost everyone in school, Senku seems to be the only exception. He's blunt and to the point 90% of the time, but he also has no problem using people to get what he wants. Despite this people still tend to gravitate towards him likely to witness the power of his scientific knowledge which he has no problem flaunting.

"Oh is that it? Yeah, I can get it to him no problem! Enjoy your date!" You say as you take the box from Taiju and grab your things as Taiju short circuits while trying to explain how it's not a date. Once you get him to leave, you make your way out of the theatre and back upstairs towards the science lab.

It's been a couple of hours since classes ended for the day so the halls and most classrooms are completely deserted. Once you finally reach the science lab, however, you're confused to find it empty. Senku is usually here until the sun goes down unless he's doing experiments elsewhere that is. Not that you keep an eye on what Senku is doing or anything. You knock on the door lightly before slowly easing it open and gasping sharply at the sight before you.

"Ishigami?! OMG, are you alright?!" You yell as you drop the box on a nearby lab counter and rush over to Senku who's lying on his back on the floor. His arm is covering his face and you quickly drop down to your knees searching for any injuries. You look up at the station in front of you and notice that one of the beakers is black.

Did something explode? You're about to pull out your phone to call for help but notice Senku's body had begun to shake. You flinch a bit before hearing laughter leave Senku's lips as he slowly sits upwards clearly unharmed. A bright twisted smile graces his face as he stares up at the beakers.

"That was an unexpected reaction. How exhilarating," you hear Senku mutter as you let out a breath of relief before feeling your body tense as Senku's scarlet red eyes observe you curiously. You're not sure why but you hold your breath as the two of you just silently stare at each other.

"Y/N from the dance club right? What are you doing all the way up here so late after class?" Senku asks you curiously as you snap out of your daze and quickly rise to your feet while dusting off your skirt. You pause for a moment before holding out a hand for Senku to grab which he does while avoiding eye contact with you.

"Taiju asked me to bring you a box and to apologize to you that he forgot about his plans with Yuzuriha. I just came to drop it off," You say while walking over to the box and bringing it over to Senku who chuckles a bit despite not turning around to see how cautiously you're holding it.

"Don't worry it's not some deadly combustible chemical, it's just my lunch," Senku says as you feel your cheeks burn. You watch slightly annoyed as Senku starts to write something down in the notebook next to the beaker.

"Wait a minute, you asked Taiju to bring your lunch for you? He seemed convinced that he was making some kind of chemical run," You say as Senku laughs some more before turning around to glance at you.

"Taiju likes to make himself helpful so I gave him something to do. I was in the middle of an experiment so I couldn't leave, as you can tell it didn't exactly go as planned. Though nobody forced you to agree to bring it up here to me either, so why are you really up here Y/N? Don't tell me you have a crush on me," Senku says nonchalantly as you roll your eyes at him.

"As if I'd be interested in a guy who can tell the difference between pyrite and gold but doesn't understand how to treat others. I was doing Taiju a favour and now I'm leaving," You say as you turn around to leave the lab but halt after hearing Senku's oddly enticing laugh.

"That sounded unconvincing there Y/N, is there another side to the lovable good girl image you have? Colour me intrigued," You hear Senku say as you whip around only to find him standing behind you already. You instinctively take a step back only to feel yours hit the wall behind you as Senku places his left hand on the wall next to you.

Did Senku just Kabedon you? What the hell is going on?

"Though the way you just sounded made it seem like you want me to treat you differently than others. I have vast knowledge in the sciences like chemistry but when it comes to understanding women I can't seem to wrap my head around it. Care to be my experiment partner?" Senku asks as you frown confused.

"Huh? Why the hell would I agree to that? Since when do you even care about studying other people, I thought they were too complex for you to understand unlike your consistent rocks and substances,"

"There are over ten billion inconsistencies in nature, but as far as I can tell women may have way more. Though that does make them troublesome to study let alone comprehend," the science nut says while holding your gaze. His eyes seem to be studying even the slightest reaction in your expressions, the obvious analysis makes you feel awkward...but mainly a bit flustered.

"Which once again brings me to my question of why you'd suddenly be curious about studying women," You say trying to keep it together as Senku sighs and removes his arm from the wall next to you. He rubs the back of his neck as he plops down on a high stool nearby.

"My science teacher said that for my final assignment I should step out of my comfort zone and choose something that I'm not as well versed in. The only thing I could think of that was challenging was the concept of love, but I realized I'd need an experiment partner and then poof you appear before me yelling my name full of concern," Senku says in a playful voice as you cringe.

"Hey of course I was a little bit concerned, I thought you got hurt!"

"But it's not like we're close friends or anything..."

"Do you have to be close to someone just to be concerned about whether or not they're hurt?" You ask as Senku pauses and places a hand under his chin as if he were deep in thought.

"Um yeah pretty much, but I guess it's different for you?" Senku asks in a genuinely inquisitive tone that makes you sigh deeply, you don't know why you'd expect someone like him to understand the concept of empathy.

"Never mind that, you said you're assignment was on love right? Even if, for some crazy reason, I agreed to help you with it you don't fall in love with someone that easily. Though you do have some fangirls who I'm sure would love to help you out with that," You say nonchalantly as Senku makes a face before rubbing his shoulders dramatically as if a cold breeze just blew by.

"No, those girls scare me. Besides, I don't have one millimetre of interest in a relationship, It'd be much easier to try my experiments on someone seemingly level-headed like you..."

"Seemingly level-headed?" You repeat in a cold tone as you cross your arms in front of your chest making Senku flinch. You're not one that's quick to anger, but for some reason, Senku makes you more irritable than usual.

"No no, I meant that as a compliment! I mean everyone in our class seems to like you and you seem like a decent person so I guess I'm curious as to what the appeal is," Senku says as you oddly feel yourself get more dejected than uplifted. Is it that difficult for him to understand why people like you? Though you shouldn't really expect much coming from someone who prefers logic over "senseless emotions".

"If I were to help you, what would be in it for me?" You ask as Senku raises an eyebrow.

"Oh? The lovable dance queen wouldn't want to help me out of the kindness of her heart?" Senku asks tauntingly as you roll your eyes but place a smile on your face.

"I try my best to be a kind-hearted person, but that doesn't mean I'm a pushover either. Since neither of us is interested in a relationship, let alone each other, I'd need something to inspire me to want to help you," you start while stepping closer to where Senku sits in the chair. He looks up at you as you gently rest a flirtatious hand on his shoulder.

You're pleasantly surprised to see that he's obviously flustered by your proximity and physical contact. After you think about it a bit, this could be the perfect opportunity to get back at Senku for taking the title of class president away from you. You can act all flirty with him and discombobulate his supposedly genius brain with an overdrive of mixed signals and emotions that make him believe you're actually into him.

"However, since there's likely nothing you have that I want I'll do it anyway. Though I'm just agreeing to this so that I can relish in the fact that there's something that I can teach you about as opposed to the opposite way around" You say matter-of-factly as Senku suddenly wraps an arm around your waist and tugs you closer to him. He angles his head ever so slightly to the side as he looks up at you with a devious smirk and mischievous scarlet eyes.

"Ah I see, that's fair enough. I've already gathered some interesting intel, your heartbeat is beating louder than normal after I decreased the amount of space between us. Another increase after I tilted my head upwards to give you my full attention. How about we meet here tomorrow after school to go over some more of the things I want to test out?" Senku suggests in an emotionless tone that makes you mutely nod before stepping out of his grasp.

"Yeah, sure. Guess, I'll see you tomorrow then," you mutter out before quickly rushing out of the lab and cursing silently to yourself. What the hell was that? Wasn't he just the one flustered by your actions? Where'd he get the confidence to pull that stunt on you? What did you really get yourself into?

Ok but I actually have the biggest crush on Senku I swear! He's smart but also can be a goofy crackhead that cares about ppl without trying to show that he cares. I love his character and Dr.Stone so if you haven't watched it yet and you don't mind learning science while watching anime then give it a shot there's two seasons!
