Senku’s clubmates express surprise at Senku betting so much money on Yuzuriha not rejecting Taiju’s confession…because they thought she liked him.
Ao3
“A hundred yen says he gets rejected,” Yamada says.
Senku raises an eyebrow as he bends over to open his school bag. They’re placing bets now? Well, he supposes it isn’t surprising. High schoolers will try to make a game out of anything, even someone else’s love confession.
“Three hundred yen says he gets rejected hard,” Suzuki snickers.
Well clearly they don’t know much about Yuzuriha. Senku grabs the energy drink from his bag. It’s odd though—she and Taiju come by the lab often enough that he thought his clubmates would have at least picked up on the tension there. How unobservant.
“Five hundred yen says he gets rejected at full power!” Edamura exclaims.
Senku stands up. Heh. Might as well make some money off of these idiots.
“Ten thousand yen says she actually accepts,” he says casually, leaning back up against the windowsill as he opens his drink.
Three voices suddenly slam against his ears. “SERIOUSLY??!”
Senku smirks. “You’re welcome to drop out if you’re scared to lose,” he says, closing his eyes and taking a swig.
“But—huh?!” Yamada splutters. “You mean you’re not secretly going out with Ogawa yourself?”
Senku abruptly sprays the entire mouthful of energy drink all over the floor, hacking and coughing. “Wh—“ he wheezes, trying to clear his airway. “What?! Why would I—what the fuck gave you that idea?!”
“Because she likes you?” Suzuki says, sounding equally bewildered.
Senku can’t stop coughing. “Huh?!”
“Yeah, isn’t it kind of obvious?” Edamura frowns. “Like, ever since the start of the school year, the way she greets you…”
—————
Edamura was so excited for the first day of school, especially since he was a second year now! Now he could be the cool suave senpai to the cute first-year girls coming in!
Oh, there was one now! A petite girl with shoulder-length brown hair and a white headband was scrolling on her phone outside the school store. She looked kind of anxious—maybe she was lost?
Edamura grinned. Perfect! He could see it now—he’ll sidle up to her, casually ask if she needs help, and she’ll beam with gratitude and admiratio—
“Did you seriously get lost on the first day?”
The girl’s eyes light up like the sun. “Senku-kun!”
She runs over to a boy with pale spiky hair. “Morning! It’s so great to see you again!”
The boy raises an eyebrow. “What’s with you? You just saw me at graduation.”
The girl laughs sheepishly. “I just wanted to make sure I got to say hi—it sucks that we’re in different classes this year…”
“Tch. Next time, wait outside where we can see you,” the boy says, turning and walking away. “Come on, better find the idiot before the bell rings.”
The girl follows, tucking her hands behind her back as she leans forward and looks up at him with a sweet smile.
“Yeah.”
Edamura stares after them. A bond formed in middle school, huh? Must be nice…
—————
“She’s always so happy to see you and get your attention,” Edamura says. “Eagerly waiting for you at the door, asking you to come model for her at the crafts club, asking you to eat lunch together…”
Senku’s eyes widen.
Yamada nods. “And then there’s how she helps out in the lab…”
—————
Yamada blinks at the pretty brunette who’s just entered the science lab with Ishigami and begun setting up beakers on a table, with the whole club staring in confusion. “Eh? Aren’t you…Ogawa-san from the crafting club? What are you doing here?”
The girl stands up. “Oh, I’m helping Senku-kun out with an experiment today,” she says cheerfully. “Sorry, is that alright? He said it should be fine and I got the okay from my club president to leave, but Senku-kun can be rather lax about getting permission for things…”
“I told you, it’s not a big deal,” Ishigami says. “Right?” He stares at the club with piercing scarlet eyes.
“No, I—yeah it should be fine,” Yamada says lamely. Everyone hesitantly turns back to their own projects, though Yamada notices quite a few of the club members are sneaking peeks at what Ishigami and Ogawa are doing on occasion.
“Ah, Senku-kun!” Ogawa says suddenly. “Your goggles are slipping! Here, let me get that—“
She peels off her gloves and reaches over to Ishigami, who obligingly leans over and allows her to readjust his safety goggles. As she does, she gently brushes his hair out of his eyes and tucks it behind his ears with a warm smile. “There we go!”
“Mm,” Ishigami says, turning back to the experiment. He and Ogawa seem completely oblivious to the many eyes now fixed on them.
Yamada grits his teeth together. You lucky bastard! Man…if only I had a cute assistant…
—————
“I totally thought it was some sort of sick power play at first,” Yamada grumbles as Senku’s eyes somehow get even wider. “She’s just so affectionate with you, messing with your hair or poking your face, sometimes rubbing her fist on your arm playfully. There wasn’t a need to flaunt it in front of us!”
“Ugh, yeah,” Suzuki sighs. “Like that time when you forgot your lunch…”
—————
“Ugh, where is it…” Senku grumbles, rifling around his bag.
“Can’t find your lunch?” Taiju asks, opening his own neatly packed bento.
“Apparently,” Senku sighs, leaning back in his chair with his arms folded. After a moment, he smacks his forehead with a palm. “Ah. I left it on the counter again.”
“For a guy who has the entire periodic table memorized, you sure have a hard time with little things like that, Senku,” Suzuki points out.
Senku shrugs and starts to stand up. “Whatever. I’ll just grab some chips from the vending machine.”
“Oh no you don’t!”
Suzuki startles. Ogawa Yuzuriha is pointing accusingly at Senku from the doorway, a pink fabric-wrapped bento dangling from her hand.
She marches over to Senku’s desk, plopping her lunch on top of it and unwrapping the contents. “You’re going to eat something substantial, and you’re not going to complain about it!”
Senku rolls his eyes as Yuzuriha perches on top of his desk and plucks a piece of tamagoyaki out of her lunch, holding it out to him. “You need to eat too, dumbass,” he says. Taiju slaps him lightly on the back, which makes him choke on his spit.
“Don’t call her a dumbass!”
Yuzuriha sighs, the hard gaze in her eyes softening. “Come on, please? We’ll let you pay for ramen next time.”
Senku stares at her for a moment.
“Ugh, fine.” He closes his eyes and opens his mouth, and she deposits the tamagoyaki into it with a satisfied smile.
Suzuki stares. Letting a cute girl feed you…you really have no shame, Senku!
—————
“She’s always taking care of you like that,” Suzuki sighs. “Commenting on how much sleep you got, offering to repair your clothes, watching over you when you pass out in gym…”
“Yeah she’s like, literally the perfect girlfriend,” Edamura says.
“I…huh?” Senku wheezes. “None of that was—you guys didn’t actually think we were dating, did you?”
“Well…if not that, then we figured it was only a matter of time,” Yamada says.
“The HELL?!”
“Senku.” Suzuki puts a hand on his shoulder with a serious expression. “Ogawa Yuzuriha is the prettiest girl in our grade. The only reason none of the other guys have tried confessing before is because they thought you’d electrocute them.”
Senku stares at him incredulously. Well that seems kind of presumptuous. He promised his dad he wouldn’t electrocute assholes anymore. Although…if any boy had gone and made Yuzuriha uncomfortable with a pushy confession…yeah he could see himself considering it. Wait, that’s not the point here!
“Well it’s not like that!” He exclaims shrilly. “Not one millimeter! I can’t…fucking hell, you actually thought all that was her being in love with me?”
“How are you so convinced she’s not?” Edamura asks.
“Because she told me she’s in love with Taiju!” Senku snaps. “And anyone with half a brain can see it! It’s been like that since we were in fifth grade—ask anyone who knew us then!”
“Wait, you’re serious?” Yamada blinks. “You’re really…just friends?”
Senku’s face suddenly darkens, and all three boys freeze.
“Just friends?”
He stares at them, red eyes gleaming. The boys hold their breath as he speaks, the words slipping past his lips like the hiss of a deadly rattlesnake.
“Are you fuckers saying,” he growls, “that if Yuzuriha treated you like she does me, it would mean less to you than the promise of something romantic? That you’d let her offer you her time, her energy, her insights, her skills, her compassion, her trust, and yet call it an inferior level of relationship?”
His gaze narrows. “Because if that’s the case, then electrocution would be far too merciful.”
A thunderous, joyful shout echoes from the window—Taiju is hugging a laughing Yuzuriha with tears streaming down his face. Senku looks over, and suddenly his expression softens, the corner of his mouth turning up.
“Well, that’s settled,” he says airily, turning away from the terrified looks of his clubmates and downing what remains of his drink. “I’ve got some morons to make fun of. You can deposit the ten thousand yen each into my shoe locker whenever you like.”
Partway down the hall, he stops and turns his head. “You know. Yuzuriha’s always saying I shouldn’t be so harsh. And maybe she’s right. Maybe your brains are so hormone poisoned that they’ve rotted away into uselessness, so I should try offering advice instead.”
He tosses his empty can into a nearby recycling bin. “If a girl like Yuzuriha calls you her friend, show some fucking gratitude. That kind of title isn’t just handed over. It’s earned.”
Senku disappears down the stairs, leaving three very bewildered teenagers behind.
“That was terrifying,” Suzuki squeaks.
“But…you know,” Yamada says hesitantly, “maybe he has a point?”
“If friendships can be like that too…” Edamura murmurs.
“Then friendship with girls…might be really cool,” Yamada finishes.
“…Haaaah,” Suzuki sighs. “We were acting pretty immature I guess…”
“And now we need to come up with thirty thousand yen,” Edamura notes.
All three let out a long groan.
Outside in the courtyard, a new couple greets their best friend with happy tears, absorbing his acerbic ribbing with the ease and warmth of the kind of love that only they could have built.

``|| ☆ starchaser & black brothers microfic: dramatic & amount || @into-the-jeggyverse @black-brothers-microfic || wc: 487
“James,” Regulus greets him when he crosses the threshold of their home.
There is no “I'm home” or “James, are you here?”, no. Regulus' tone does not promise anything good — it is tense and demanding.
Turning his whole body to his lover, James tries to imitate the happiest smile possible. “Yes, love?”
Regulus appears around the corner of the room, looking for him. When he finds him, his arms immediately cross over his chest, his gaze nailing James to the spot. “That's a serious question.”
“Of course you can ask,” James' soul is already on its way to his heels.
“Me or Sirius…” he pauses, and by now James' soul has already descended to the level of his knees, ”Who's more dramatic?”
James' breath seems to get stuck somewhere in halfway through. If this question was about anyone, he would have answered that no, Regulus is not dramatic at all. No, he is the best of all, and no one else can compare to him.
However… if he answered Sirius now, it would make Regulus happy. Sure enough, that tense look would disappear from his face, and his eyebrows would relax. A satisfied smile will return to his lover's face, and maybe even Regulus will come closer and lean in to give him a gentle kiss as a real greeting.
And then Regulus will call or text or even go and tell Sirius in person. Like, “Look, even James thinks I'm better, ha! And we can trust James' judgment.” And this will turn into a little nightmare for James for the next few hours, because Sirius won't let it go.
No, the weather forecast warns of record rainfall in the form of “you've been like a brother to me, I never expected such a betrayal!”, we recommend that all Jamestown residents stock up on Dominos coupons, because only the promise of a bachelor party and ten Diablo pizzas can avert a natural disaster.
James can't help but cringe at the thought of such a scenario. But then again…
He imagines how he would feel if he were to say Regulus' name. He won't hear an answer right away. In fact, he won't hear a word from Regulus for the next week. He won't see him for days, he can only feel the warmth of his body next to him at night, but trying to hug him casually in his sleep will risk losing his arm. And no coupons to Dominos or any other establishment, no movie tickets or anything else would save him from the crisis.
The fact was simple: the amount of drama in the Black family's blood does not differ that much. But each of them finds a different way to process this drama.
A wise man once said that of two evils, choose the lesser one.
So James huffs as if the question is stupid in itself, rolls his eyes and says, “Of course Sirius…”
My therapist just told me my problem is that I need to write more fanfiction.
