My Own Science (Dr Stone Senku x reader)

The Empire of Might

Tsukasa unknowingly flinched when he heard you voice calling out for him. He didn't want to look you in the eyes but the enthusiasm that remained unchanged in your voice made him turn towards you. You were waving at him, smiling. Though he didn't understand why, he felt butterflies in his stomach.
'That smile though!' he thought.
"Sorry, did I kept you waiting?" you said once you were in front of him.
"Not at all, not at all." he cussed in his head for repeating himself. "Um, so...What did you talk about?"
"Well we just chatted about what happened, how it was crazy to run into each-other." you paused. "Oh yeah, they also told me about Senku."

Tsukasa became tense.
"You..." he sighed and looked away. "I'll understand if you want to go alone."
"Huh? Oh..." you scratched the back of your head. "Well, I wasn't that close to him. I just knew him as the school's smartass. I kinda had a feeling you were talking about him honestly." you smiled. "But I still want you to go with me."
"Really?"
The innocent look of hope he gave you made you squeal internally.
"Yeah. Come on, let's go."
He smiled and nodded.
"Yeah, let's."

As you walked to the tree houses, it became more difficult for you to walk with each steps. You felt like every little rock was stabbing your feet.
"Okay I can't." you finally said, stopping in your tracks and sitting down on the ground. "I feel like I'm gonna bleed if I take one more step."
"You're not used to walk without shoes I see."
"It's a nightmare." you let out.
Shit, was that too angry? Did you just blow it?
Nope. Tsukasa smiled.
"Do you want me to carry you?"
"That would be nice yes." you sighed of relief.

He picked you up, again, without any effort. But this time, he made you sit on his shoulder, letting a hand on your lap.
"W-wait!" you became red.
"What?"
'Don't give me that innocent look!'
Just now do you remember how flustered this kind of thing made you. Plus with his height, you were high off the ground. And you were pretty sure everybody could see you both, but you were too scared to check.
"I...You don't have to do it like that."
"I don't mind. That way I can use my other arm. Plus, isn't it more comfortable?"
"I mean I guess. But..." your voice died down, remembering that you must not argue with him. "Okay then."

He started to walk, but because you weren't prepared, you yelped and held his head tightly for support. He just laughed wholeheartedly.
By the way, his hair, though beautiful, were like an old dog's fur to the touch. God you couldn't wait for Senku to recreate shampoo!

Tsukasa explained to you where everything was and he helped set up your little space. Neither of you talked. You thought about how awkward it would've been if it wasn't for that conversation-interrogation you had. When two people opens their heart, they're bond to get closer.
'Well...I didn't really do that on my part...'
You felt pretty bad about it. But because it was justified, you didn't feel guilty.

While you were making your bed, you hummed a little tune. Something you often did when you were working.
"I've never heard this before." you looked up at Tsukasa. "Where...Where did you hear it?"
"It's...something my sister composed a long time ago."
He sighed, looking rather relieved for some reason.

"Your sister composes music?" he smiled. "She must be good if you're singing it."
"Yeah she's...she's great."
"Tell me about her." he smiled. "From what Hyouga told me, she sounds very active."
You paused in whatever you were doing and looked down.
"Yeah she's...She knows what do to, when to do it. She's strong, and she's got a real presence. People just know if she's here or not."
That fake sister may have turned into something more deep. Like the ideal-you you think is unreachable. Maybe.
"I wish I was as strong as her..."
A moment passed. Tsukasa hated the look on your face.

"(Y/n)," he leaned closer. "when I met you and I explained what happened, you faced the situation head on and accepted. You learned your sister is with the enemy without any explanation and you also accepted it and you didn't let it cloud the way you feel about her. You trust her but also your judgement. You staid conscious for thousands of years just by the power of your will." he paused, looking into your eyes. "To me, you're one of the strongest person I know."
'So please, don't look so sad!'
