My Own Science (Dr Stone Senku x reader)

Crimes! In the name of science!

You slowly woke up the next morning. You opened your eyes then closed them again, your eyelids heavy. You could hear people talking outside.

It took you a moment before you suddenly sit up, realizing that the sun was up, probably for a while now. You rushed to the shed's entrance and looked out to see Senku and the others, awake and alert.
"Oh what the hell?!"

"Oh, good morning (Y/n)!" Kohaku greeted.
"About time sleepyhead!" Senku smiled as you climbed down the ladder.
"What time is it?"
"Around 2pm." he flicked one of your bangs that was out of place. "That's a real bad case of the bed hair." he said, making Suika giggle.
Pouting slightly in embarrassment, you used your finger to quickly brush your hair.
"Why didn't you wake me up?!"
"For once you were sleeping in, I didn't wanna wake you up."

You just quietly mumbled incoherent words. You knew he didn't mean any harm by that, it was actually a really nice gestured, you really needed some extra time to rest.

It was then that you noticed the pile of translucent crap lying around. Looking at it closely, you recognize them as being made of glass.
"God dammit, you guys started glass-making without me!" you turned towards the others.
"It's not like you missed out on much..." he said.
"We wanted to call out for you," Suika said. "but Senku forbade us to do so."

You raised your eyebrows in surprise and looked over to him, who was busy putting more wood in the furnace so he wouldn't have to explain himself.
"Did something happened last night?" Kohaku asked both of you.
"Uh...."

You glanced at Senku again, this time he was looking at you, waiting for you to answer. Another nice gesture on his part, it was your decision whether you wanted them to know or not. You turned back to face her.

"Nah~." you shrugged before quickly and smoothly change the subject without any transition. "So where's Chrome?"
Senku sighed and stood up.
"He said he'd find us an artisan to work on the glass."
"Oh! There he is!" Suika pointed towards the bridge.

You both turned around and were baffled to see Chrome, dragging a tied-up old man behind him.
"(Y/n)! Hey!" he waved as he stood in front of you, the old man by his side. "You sure slept a long time!"
You and Senku just stared at the man who was half your size in silence.

"...Oh my god you fuckin kidnapped a dude!" you wheezed, a tear of laughter in the corner of your eye as you leaned on Senku's shoulder, who was just done. "Ah~! I can't!"

"Please old man Kaseki!" Chrome joined his hands together. "We need your artisanal skills!"
The sweet old man was not having it though.
"Binding people up with straw ropes for some hot bondage action is your way of asking for help?!" he said. "I'm not gonna give one bit of help to a pervert like you!"
'Okay maybe not that sweet.' you puffed a chuckle.
"I told you, that's not what's going on here!" Chrome exclaimed.

"Was it you old man who made that finely crafted shield?" Senku asked, gesturing to Kohaku's shield. "Without any iron tools or the least bit of dye?"
"Without dye?! That's amazing!" you looked closer at it, wondering how he made that red color.
"Yes." Kaseki said. "It was originally a gift to Kohaku's father, Kokuyou, when he won the last village games. I really put my all into it... Ah~ that takes me back."
Your smiled softened, you could tell he has a passion for it.
"We would need incredibly high crafting skills to be on par with the level of the Kingdom of Science." Senku said. "So I had been thinking about how we need a masterful artisan. But I never thought it'd be this old hobbling man here." he looked at him. "That incredible suspension bridge must have been your work as well then."

He nodded, but he still wasn't happy.
"Yes, that's right! And you went and ripped out a plank from it!"
"It was for the sake of science!" you said. "It's totally justified!"
He shook his head.
"I'll never help the likes of you! Never!"
You sighed.
