My Own Science (Dr Stone Senku x reader)

Talk of the South

"A'ight guys, that's all we got for this morning, I will see you this afternoon. In the meantime let's all work hard to bring all of humanity back. (Y/n) out!"
As soon as you pressed the button to end your radio show, your expression fell and you started to write some notes down, looking really focused.
"What are you doing?" Brody asked.
"I was fumbling a bit, I need to work on that." you listed. "We should make a built-in record player, doing it like this is deteriorating the audio quality. The bass sounded a little wonky at times, the mics have trouble picking up on it, so we gotta work on that too. Also-" you noticed the surprised look on his face. "...what?"
"Nothing, nothing." he smiled.
'She gets down to business real quick.' he thought before you two talked about the tweaks you could make to make your show better.
You were super embarrassed about all those wrong things that went on during the broadcast, but then you figured that it was kinda like your training with Tsukasa. It was the very first time you've tried this, of course there was going to be mistakes, at least now you know what's wrong and you can work to fix that. It was then you've really realized how much you've changed.
'Pats on the back (Y/n).' you proudly smiled to yourself. 'Pats, on, the, back.'

After that, you and Brody went to see Joel to talk about his mission. He had a new outfit and you just had to compliment him on it, to which he responded with shy incoherent mumbling.
"So what did you think of the show?" you asked, genuinely wanting some outside feedback.
"It...I-It was um..." he said, his face red. "Cool."
"Awesome, thank you so much!" you smiled, your face beaming.
He screamed internally.
"Alright alright." Brody spoke up and turned to him. "Nikki explained the job to you right? Were you listening Greenhorn?"
"Greenhorn? Is that a way to speak to someone doing you a favor?" Joel said, now with a arrogant and disdained look on his face.
'Wow, complete 180!' your eyes widen in surprise as he kept going.
"I have a name you know, it's Joel. Or is it too hard to remember?"
"Okay fella, fair enough." he raised his hand. "We just need to take appart the device and examine the inside, and there's no better man for the job than a skilled watch technician like you Joel. Is that better?"

He seemed satisfied with this request, but then his personality flipped again when Yuzuriha came to him to give him the medusa. Then she noticed something and grabbed his wrist, making him panic.
"A watch?! Did you craft this by hand?!"
"Y-yeah."
"In only a few hours?! That's amazing!" you exclaimed.
He seemed to be getting dizzy from the blood rushing to his cheeks.
"Right after we got here?!" Yo asked, baffled. "All by yourself?!"
"I took the liberty of borrowing the tools here yes. For a man who minds his time a watch is proof of impeccable taste. This one may be woefully imprecise, but it's better than counting on one's fingers."
"Clueless about women but a total jerk to men!" he shouted, making you snicker.

"Very well." Joel ignored him and put on his lens. "I'll inspect your so called device."
He picked up the medusa and once he looked at its mechanism, his eyes widen.
"This isn't...This isn't from any science known in the 21st century." he crouched down. "Allow me to focus. You may observe if you so choose, but utter a single word and you will die by my hands."
The others smiled and left the room. You stayed a bit longer, you liked watching people being really focused on their work in general. But right now, it just reminded you of Senku.
'I miss him.' you sighed through your nose. 'I miss all of them.'
Not wanting to get sad, you decided to leave.

"H-hey!" Joel called out before you could reach the doorway.
You turned around. It seemed he just realized what he did and said and became all flustered.
"Um...y-your afternoon show...What uh...At what time...?"
"I'd say...three?"
"Okay." he said under his breath.
'What a character, he's cute.' you thought, smiling before realizing something. "Oh, but I wouldn't want you to leave your work just to listen to me."
"It's okay I-I can listen to it while I work."
"...how?" you looked around, there was no speakers for him to hear it.
He started to raise his hand but then stopped and went back to work, really focused again. Because he was flustered, he almost overshared, but stopped himself just in time. Not wanting to disrupt him, you didn't say anything, still, with a slight frown, your gaze fell on his watch. Was he about to show it to you? But why?
'Could it be...?' your eyes widen slightly. 'Like the earpiece we used back on treasure island?'
Well it's not like you could just ask him, it seemed like he wanted to keep it a secret and he was busy right now. So you just left, leaving your deduction in one corner of your brain.
