My Own Science (Dr Stone Senku x reader)

Relationships

If you were being perfectly honest, you weren't really thinking. You just said the first thing that came to mind. And it shocked everyone, including yourself.

"Let me think about it."

You were in your office (that's what you called your storehouse now), resting your head on the table you were sitting at. You sighed for probably the fifth time. You were still tired from last night, physically and emotionally. And on the emotional side, you knew you wouldn't have time to rest. You had to go to Ryusui to get your pay today, at some point at least, and you knew he'd ask for an answer there.
You rubbed your eyes. Him asking you out was one thing you could do without, considering your situation. But it did bring out the problem you were having, so now you could confront it.

Senku still hasn't gave you an answer to your own confession.
You sighed. He probably never will, he was never one for relationships. He always only qualified them as 'bothersome', and it made you frown.

You thought about Ryusui. Since you met him, you got to know him better. Passionate would be the word to describe him. He's kind and supportive, which could be annoying at times, but in the end he was a good guy. Also he's handsome as fuck and those were your exact thoughts when you saw him at the party. Nothing hotter than a man in a suit.
And he asked you out.
But you asked Senku out. Kinda.

You raised your head back up, thought for a second, and stood up. You needed to confront Senku about it. This time you will get an clear answer out of him. Of course, you won't force him into a relationship if he doesn't want to. You both knew he wasn't the romance/couple type. But you were! And if he says no or keeps avoiding an answer, well you're just gonna have to move on. Yeah it'll suck, and you'll need a while to recover because you really liked him, but you can't wait for him forever (you already waited for like a month and a half!), while opportunities for a relationship pass you by like that.

You walked out and went to Ryusui's house.
First you gotta get your money, because you had a business to run and that was your priority. You'll tell him you have to check something first before giving him an answer.
'Business-woman! Coming through!' you smiled.

Gen watched as you walked out of your office.
"There she goes."
Yuzuriha, who was with him, followed his gaze. She noticed you were on your way to Ryusui's house.
"Oh come on!" she said, then went to talk to Senku.

Gen followed her. She was clearly rooting for you and Senku to hit it off. But he had his doubts about that. Senku may be an stoic wall when it comes to deep emotions, but it was written all over you face. You confessed to him. And Gen bet that it didn't really go anywhere. Senku never developed on his opinion on romantic relationships. It was a total secret.
But Gen could guess.

Senku was working on a detailed blueprint for a specific part of the boat when Yuzuriha and Gen walked in.
"She's going to Ryusui." she said after a moment of silence.
"Don't know why you're telling me this but okay." he said, not looking up from his work.
"That doesn't bother you?!"
"Why would it?"
"Because-Urh!" she groaned, and sighed.

A moment of silence passed, she thought, wanting to just shake him up once and for all so he could just do...something!
"...Did you know that in second year of high school, she dated a guy?"

Senku stopped moving. He thought for a moment and frowned.
"Really?" he looked at her.
"Ooo boy..." Gen whispered.
"Yes. For three months. She talked about him many times, Fukuhara from our class."

Senku stayed silent.
"The tall guy sitting at the front."
No reaction from him.
"Red hair in a little pony tail."
He slowly shook his head.
"With an earring!"
He leaned back, pointing at her and nodding. She sighed.
Oh yeah, him! He had a diamond earring that shone light in his eyes from his class desk, it made him want to experiment on light reflections.
