Test Tube? // by my side // II fanfic

day one

Fan was running, his "average" sized legs carrying him as fast as he could go. He wasn't that physically active but he wanted to get to where he needed to be right away.

The store. He wanted to get some cards, just to write things down to make it easier for him to tell Test Tube how he's feeling and what's going on around him.

He panted and had to lean on the wall a bit to catch his breath, but he quickly stopped and then just went in to get some cards and envelopes to just save all the notes. He didn't know if he could get Test Tubes anything, but he probably would have gotten her something if he knew.

He tried to make this little stop quick cuz he didn't want to keep Test Tube waiting for him to show up this morning, he didn't know her sleep schedule, if she even had one. He was just thinking of all the things he needed to get to know her without really knowing her so far.

After he had gotten his stuff he left the store and then booked it to the vending machine. He made himself more worn out, like he didn't need anymore exercise after this for the day. He got there and flopped on the grass next to the vending machine, the cold grass caressing him.

He smiled to himself a bit, it was kinda relaxing but he would rather be having a moment like this with someone else there.

He soon enough got the phone out and called Test Tube, hoping to not wake her.

Test Tube shot up startled by the ringing of the phone, she got out of the bed and kinda swayed, the low iron hitting her a bit, she still carefully walked over to the phone and leaned on the wall. She picked it up after a few minutes "f..an?" She muttered out, kinda yawning away from the phone after.

"Ah Test Tube! Good Morning, hopefully I'm not here too early for you" he cheerfully said, twisting the cord of the phone with his finger

"Oh ... Uh ... No no it's fine, I'm just waking up" she rubbed her eyes with her free hand, not being able to see much outwards because she didn't even put her glasses on when she got up.

Fan smiled "that's fine, i should have brought you something to eat then, huh" he chuckled a bit "i mean i could still totally go get you something-"

She had to stop him right there "no, Fan it's fine" she sat down on a stool "I'll make something to eat down here later" she kinda lied "plus i don't want you wasting your money on me, you barely know me"

Fan puffed his cheek out a bit, though again Test Tube wouldn't be able to see it "its just a nice gesture jeez"

She chuckled a bit "maybe some other time you can get me some food... Maybe some errands-... Oh I'm kidding, i don't need you to be a delivery boy" she sighed a bit

"I mean i totally could, since i can kinda tell that you don't like coming up to the sun" he smiled and looked up at the crystal blue sky, watching some clouds move slowly "it would be a nice thing to do, yeah?"

"I guess... But i really don't want you wasting energy running around for things for me" she chuckled a bit "i can perfectly get things i need myself, going up there isn't that hard for me."

"I'm just trying to be helpful, get you to be comfortable to see me at least, that's all i need really so it isn't awkward when you do come out of the lab" Fan swayed his legs in the air a bit "i would like to see you out here or something"

There was a long silence. Test Tube was thinking. "I mean i would like to see you too... I just-" she paused and pushed up her glasses "can't trust to be near you for the moment being.."

Fan nodded to himself "that's understandable, i can wait till you're comfortable enough to hang out with me... That's like the whole point in me coming everyday to talk to you" he sighed softly

"I think it would be nice when we do get to see each other that for sure" she smiled "how about we actually get to know each other first?"

Fan thought for a bit "oh well I could definitely tell you about something's that i like. If you want to know about that stuff.. I'm not really into anything big that's for sure but it'll be a start"

"Oh yeah, sure it would be a start.. here just give me a second I'm gonna go get a notepad" she happily said and then walked over to her death to find her notes.

"A notepad?" Fan asked curiously "why do you need a notepad?"

"Oh.. so i can keep track of things you like and stuff like that... It'll help me.get to know you more and stuff, research wise" she said kinda bluntly "if that's alright with you..."

Fan shook his head "ah no no yeah it's alright with me, whatever helps you" he smiled to himself

"Great now... What are you into?"
