My Own Science (Dr Stone Senku x reader)

Blackmailing for the sake of investigating

"Now we'll be able to make it right?!" Chrome enthusiastically asked as you all went back to the HQ. "That insane electricity stuff?!"
"Yeah sure!" you smiled. "If I remember correctly, we already have all the things we need. We just needed magnets."

"But Senku," Gen looked at him. "when you say generator, will it be fossil fuel-powered? Wind-powered? Surely not nuclear-powered."
Senku looked at him and was silent for a moment.
"Physical-powered." he casually said.
"Somehow, I figured as much..."

It was getting late, and after a pretty exhausting day, your friends said goodnight and went home for some well deserved rest.
But for you, the day hasn't ended yet.

"Going back to Tsukasa-chan's Empire would take me a few days," Gen explained with a grin. "so I can stay here for a night or two!"
You looked up at the shed, knowing it won't fit the three of you. You were already pretty flustered with just you and Senku.
"Sure." Senku shrugged. "But we'll have to think of something."
"I can sleep here, it's fine." you said, gesturing to the ground.
"No~ it's okay~" Gen placed his hands on your shoulders from behind. "I'm sure Senku-chan won't mind sleeping outside."
'Good sir please remove your hands!'
He only giggled, feeling how tense up you were just by his touch.

You took a step to the side, away from this man's hands.
"Yeah, no thank you."
"Huh? Why not?" he tilted his head. "Surely you didn't mind sleeping with Senku."
"Well...First of all you could've phrased that differently." you quickly said that part. "And second, it's different. He's not a weasel."
"Weasel?!" he exclaimed, not expecting that one.

Senku sighed.
"Stop with this pointless argument you two." he looked at you. "(Y/n), you sleep in the shed."
"But then...?" Gen mumbled.
"We'll both sleep outside." he said as he went to grab two sleeping bags.
Gen groaned in disappointment while you sighed, relieved.

You climbed up to the shed to set your now bigger sleeping space.
"I feel kinda bad..."
"Huh?" Senku looked at you. "Why?"
"Because you have to put up with weasel-boy all night because of me."
He chuckled.
"Is that his nickname now?"
"Only when he's not there to hear it..." you gulped as you imagined calling him that name that he hates again.

His smile softened. He stood up and walked toward the door.
"I would've put up with him with or without you regardless." you looked up at him. "So don't feel bad for that." he stopped in the doorway, his back facing you. "...Good night (Y/n)."
You blinked twice, then smiled.
"Good night."

"And that's what I think my life would be like if it was an anime!"
Senku groaned. Gen, who was laying down as if he was in a lounge or something, has been pestering him for more than half-an-hour now, and no matter how clear he made it that he wanted him to shut up and sleep, he just kept talking! About anything and nothing. Right now it was anime, but not five minutes later it was how he got a date with his middle-school crush thanks to a can of cola. And before that, it was a complete review of a movie franchise he was a fan of and how nothing will come close to the climax of the second movie. And before that it was his god damn morning routine! Senku was pretty sure he made it all up.
He knew he was planning something but he wasn't sure what, and frankly he didn't really want to care. The fire went out a while ago, that's how long he's been talking!

"Senku-chan~ you're asleep?" Gen asked yet another time.
Senku didn't responded. Not like he had to.
"You know, I was just thinking. That fake report I'll give to Tsukasa... I don't think I have to also hide (Y/n)-chan's existence."

In the darkness, Senku slightly shifting in his futon, staring up at him. This was not something he saw coming.
Gen smiled. He's been watching you ever since that first little exchange you both had. He asked a question but never got an answer. And now he'll finally get it.
