Rainy days (HUMANISED)

Even though you're underground, you can still hear the pounding of the rain outside. Test tube sat on a stool at her workbench, tinkering at some random small invention small enough to fit in her palm. As she does this, her attention is quickly pulled away by a large CRASH. Test tube drops the trinket and stands up.

She looks at Fan on the floor and snickers. "You never land gracefully, do you?"

Fan, sprawled out on the floor sits up, his expression less than amused. Clothes dripping wet, he tries to stand up but slips over on the lab flooring. Stupid floors.

"Woah take it easy." Test tube walks over to him and holds her hand out. He looks less than amused. "Soaked much?'

Fan grunts and sits up. "My umbrella broke and I wanted to see you." He huffs again, untyping his yellow rat tail braids and ringing them out. A bit of the hair dye dyes the water a very faint yellow. Doesn't look good on the white tiling.

"You— I'll get you a towel. Sit down." She suggests before scattering to the other room.

He does respond, clearly pissed about every piece of clothing on him being waterlogged. Ringing out his hoodie over the sink, he takes his shoes off at the.. chute.. of the lab and waits for Test tube to come back to rescue him from his uncomfortable sogginess.

"How do you manage to get this soggy on a 5 minute walk from the hotel to here..?" Test tube speaks her thoughts out loud walking over to him with a dark blue towel.

Fan takes a deep breath. Knowing for a fact he's going to rant, Test tube slides her lab coat onto the coat hanger next to the chute and prepares to dry his hair.

"So.. I was just out minding my business just typing away on my blog in that spot— you know that spot under the tree?" He looks up at her when he asks that, her just nodding and starting to dry his hair. "Yeah— I was just sat there when.. BANG! Thunder out of nowhere! I managed to run inside to put away my laptop but I remember you were in the lab still so I ran here..!" He rambles, test tube only half listening as she mainly focuses on getting his top half dry enough where it's not uncomfortable.

"That's sweet of you." She comments, gently massaging the back of his head with the towel as she stands over him. "You don't need to run all the way here though. Could've atleast gotten an umbrella."

His heart flutter a bit at the seemingly mindless comment. Still not used to her praise. Leaning into her touch, he continues to speak. "Well— I didn't want you to walk alone in the rain back from the lab okay..?"

Test tube smiles at his comment, moving her hand to the top of his head and gently rubbing the towel over his still damp hair. Knowing she can't question him without him justifying himself for the next 10 minutes, she just lets him be without any debate.

"You've been awfully clingy Fan." She speaks up after a while, his hair dye staining the towel faintly.

"I guess after.. after Bot and everything I've just felt more connected.. to you." He squeezes out through his lips, not making eye contact.

Putting the towel down, she carefully wraps her arms around his shoulders. His face presses against his chest, making her shirt become a bit damp too. Did she care though? Nope.

"Oh— that's.. that's nice.." his voice turns into a mumble, still trembling slightly from the harsh environment outside. Hesitantly he reaches his arms around her torso, invitingly pulling him closer and flush against him.

"Text me when you're stuck in the rain next time. I can bring you an umbrella." She proposes, her thumb stroking the top of her head as the other wraps around his shoulder to keep him as close as possible.

Fan sighs softly, his cheek squishing against her. "Yeah. I will."

"Good. I should probably close up the lab soon too. It's getting dark from what I can confer." She informs Fan, pressing her face into his wet hair.

"Good idea. We could have a movie night..?"

"Only if you let me finish watching that Blue Planet episode.."

"Do I have to—"

"Yes."

"Finneee." He drags it out, trying to display an annoyed tone despite his big goofy smile.
