SCIENCE LESSONS <A TESTBRUSH FANFIC>

< The Big Question >

When the three of us came back to the huge party, we saw a mountain of  drunk people surrounding the dance floor, and it only took a second until Lightbulb begun to join in.
Me and TestTube looked at each other again, this whole different area surrounding us changed our perspectives.
"Care to dance?" I asked, going with my gut, I held out my hand to her.
"I can't dance," She laughed awkwardly, still taking my hand anyway, "But I'll try my best."
"Never danced!? You need to get out more." I pulled her closer to me, and we gradually started slowly moving around the yard.
As she begun to her more confident and comfortable with me, she begun making us go faster.
In the end I tripped on something and fell into the pool, she didn't though, all she did was laugh at me.
It was all good though.

The party ended faster then I'd imagined, I'm back in my room writing through my diary, LightBulb and Fan on the bed besides me.
My bristles were still a bit wet, hopefully it drys tomorrow before my lessons.
"So... Painty," Lightbulb calls to me, "I saw you comforting TestTube earlier, and dancing."
She says, tucking Fan into bed next to her.
"Yeah? ...what about it?" I keep my eyes locked on my diary, sketching.
"Oh nothing, just saying." She walks over to me, looking at the drawing, "Wish I could draw like that, must be some witchcraft."
I roll my eyes, "Oh by the way," I choose a more stern tone, catching her off guard, "Are you and Fan dating? Because what friends sleep next to each other, and tuck each other to sleep?"
I see her face go a deep crimson, still awaiting an answer.
"We'll no? I don't know. I guess we just have benefits, I mean, I wouldn't mind going out with him, but I dunno." She laughed at herself awkwardly, sitting herself down on the edge of my bed.
"Mhm, I feel ya." I say without realising, then realising and begun to sweat.

"You, relate?" She looked away, thinking. Then I guess something sparked in her head and her face brightened up, "You like TestTube!? Oh my gosh yes! I'm gonna have to tell..." I stop her talking by slamming my book closed.
"I don't like her," I hesitated, "But I don't know if I do or don't, it's all kinda confusing. And don't tell anyone, including TestTube or Fan." I felt my bristles, sighing.
"We'll from the looks of what happened today, it looks like you're definitely into her. But if not! Don't tell me I didn't tell you not to try!"
I sigh and nod, placing my diary on the bed-side table.
"Also no I'm not staying in here tonight, TestTube is in the hotel tonight, she said she's got a headache even though it your job to comfort her." She winked, causing me to go red a bit.
"W- whatever!" I rage, she laughs and stands up, going to the door and opening it.
"Don't get me wrong I'm rooting for ya Painty, just... give it a shot at least." And with that, she turned off the light and left, closing the door behind her.

Give it a shot... should I?
The worse she could say is no.
I'm seeing her tomorrow, wait, what's the time?
I look to my left to see my clock, twelve am, I sigh and rub my eyes in the dark.
I'll think about it. Because of course, future me has to worry about it.
I get comfortable, shoving the back of my head into the pillow.
My face still a tiny bit red, I just allowed it to gradually fade.
And knowing how drunk Fan got, he's definitely gonna wake up with a hungover.
I close my eyes, allowing myself to drift into the deep and silent sleep.

Me and TestTube walked to the lab the next day, talking and laughing the whole time.
"Poor Fan, he kinda put it on himself." TestTube cackled, looking through a book on the table, me on the other hand was busy making a latte since TestTube didn't have coffee down here.
"We'll Lightbulb's gonna have her hands full today." I snickered.
"What are we even learning today?" I turn to her, my latte finally finished.
"We'll I was going to do something cool, but I guess not since you didn't do your homework." She smirked at me, looking up at me from the book.
I scoffed, "I didn't do it because I'm always busy! And it's almost like I'm babysitting those two sometimes."
I sat down next to her, she smiled.

"We'll then you can do it now, and we can do the cool experiment another day, sound good?" She stands up, coming back with a empty book and pen, followed by a textbook.
"Nice use of my pen I see." I smirk, picking up the pen that I had left here.
"Hey," She giggled, "It came in handy."
I roll my eyes playfully at her, she passed me everything and I got to work.
As I was working, I heard her walking around behind me, at some point she left to another room down the hall.
I stopped writing for a moment to think;
Make the first move, c'mon Paintbrush! This is your best chance right now!
Your literally in her lab!
I clench my teeth, look at the pen and wrote fast, rushing the work, it didn't have to be perfect.
I then did a scribble that was suppose to look like the extra explanation, once I finished it, I got up from my chair and went into the same room that she went it.
"Care to explain why you left?" I leaned on the doorframe, this room she went in was like a side storage room.
"Oh!" She said behind the large shelves, "Sorry! I was looking for something..." She got off the stool and walked to me, "Couldn't find it though, oh well!"
Now or never Paintbrush, just!... ask her.
As she went to walk past, I put my arm in the middle of the doorframe, stopping her.
She jumped from shock a little, looking at me confused.
I'm sweating so much, it isn't even hot down here!
"TestTube." I say sternly, she gulps and looks up at me.
I stand up straight in the middle of the doorframe, she walked closer up to me, "Yes?" She asked softly, suddenly grabbing my arm, I think my heart just skipped a beat.
"I was gonna ask if um... You wanted to go on a.." I hesitate, "Date... with me?"
She moves her gentle hands down my arm, giving me a tingly feeling, oh boy... she knows a what she's doing here.
"I'd love to." She moved closer to me, even if we was close enough already.
This girl isn't as awkward as I thought she was.
As our faces got closer together, my eyes naturally closed, thinking she was about to kiss me.
I mean, I wouldn't mind it.

I was wondering what was taking her so long to just kiss me, "Oh Paintbrush." She giggled, I open my eyes to see her feeling through my bristles, and yup, I can already feel my face turning as red as a tomato.
She looked at my face, "You look really red, have to got a fever?" She felt my forehead, "Hm, you might wanna have a drink." She gently pushed me out the way, giving me a side smirk.
As she walked away, my heart pounding in my chest, my face left red and embarrassed, my hands trembling.
Okay! I did it, I asked her out.
But... what do I do now?
Hm...
I guess I'll just have to wait and see what's in store for me.

——————————————————
Felt that Paintbrush, when you think someone is gonna kiss you but they actually don't.
But lookie, they asked her out!
Only thing is that they need to work out a day and what it is that their doing.
Hm, I wonder.
