☆Tokyo Debunker☆ [imagine]

Assistant in training, Doctor in denial (MC x Yuri)

It took long enough, but the treatment was a success. For months, Yuri wouldn't stop beaming at the leftover serum. The very serum that cured your curse.

"I could make it big with this!"
The young doctor chuckled to no one in particular as he admired his work.
"Am i a genius, or what?"

"Yuri-"

Jiro was cut off by a yelp from Yuri,
"G-gosh! Make yourself known next time!"
The turquoise haired doctor scoffed, clearing his throat.

The freakishly tall ghoul apologised with a deadpanned look before stepping aside to reveal you behind him. The doctor's eyes widened. Weren't you supposed to have left Darkwick?

"MC has something to tell you."

Yuri smirked, chest puffed up with pride. He supposed you couldn't bear to leave before you had spoken your words of gratitude.
"So, MC, what do you have to tell me?"

"I want to be your assistant."

------------------------☆---------------------------

Did he hear that right? You waltz into his office this morning to tell him you wanted to be his assistant?

He buried his face into his pillow. He wanted to scream. There wasn't much opportunity for him to be contemplating anything else other than research, but today was different.

What was he to do? Not long back, he started getting these awful flutterings in his stomach whenever you showed up. Your affable nature always made his harsh insults land like a punch on a pillow. No matter what he had to say about you, you always came back to stick your nose in his business. Over time, he got used to seeing you in his office at 9:00 am every Monday before class.

He worked hard on finding your cure, but was it really just for the Laurel Crown?

Of course, the other reason was to push you away! He thought at that first.
If you were cured, you could leave Darkwick, and soon, he didn't have to feel this way anymore.

So why did you decide to stay in the school and torture him this way?

He could always argue with Professor Nicholas to have your application rejected, but since when did that man ever have the authority to do anything for Mortkranken?

Yuri tossed around in his barren bed.
No matter what, you could never know of his feelings.

As you waited for Yuri to be done marking, you shut your eyes, lips pursed into a line, as you waited for the grades. 2 days ago, you had just taken an entrance test.

He glanced with a frown from the paper to you, then back to the paper, before sliding it forward.

"Open your eyes, you passed."

Upon hearing his words, your eyes immediately flew open in pleasant surprise, hands shooting upwards with joy.

"Congratulations, MC."
Jiro gave you a soft smile and a pat on the head.

"It's all thanks to your awesome tutoring skills, Jiro."
You grinned widely back at him.

The sight made Yuri's eye twitch.

"It's all thanks to your awesome blah blah- I was the one who curated the notes, you dumb thing!"
Yuri huffed in annoyance, putting down two test tubes on the rack.
