Being childhood lovers with Senku before the petrification were already tense between you both. You, the undeniably talented and inspiring archeologist and Senku, the once in a lifetime genius, were always considered the perfect nerd textbook couple.

Except you and him were almost never seen in the same room, text barren and silence overlaps the millions of thoughts that were formed in your minds. The only time where they saw you was during at interlapping events where the Science club and Your club collides and when you walk home.

“Love is a waste of time” Senku would say as he picks his ear while Taiju would ask why he never sees you two look at each other lovingly as he expects.

Well…. Taiju does see yours, it was full of admiration to the point it looked one sided to others. He could see how your hand was shaking, tempted to rest it on the scientist’s cheeks warmly.

Even the big oaf sees the longing in your eyes but not Senku.

And even if he does, he doesn’t act on it.

Instead of looking at it negatively, you always shook your head and keep it moving. It was understandable, Senku was not into PDA and so were you, you could bear it for him. Being lovey dovey isn’t your forte anyways.

And besides you and Senku just had different lives.

Right?

Well here you are now, sitting at the deck made by your friends made 3,700 something years later, preparing to sail to America.

The break up was a tough spot for you, it wasn’t a known secret and only Taiju and Yuzuriha were the ones who knew the full truth about it.

You and Senku were enemies the moment you decided to side with Tsukasa. You simply couldn’t fathom the idea to bring back everyone while the brilliant scientist couldn’t care less.

“Well i dont understand why you would want them all to come back!”

“The law can punish them later when its restablished”

He was too.. cold.

Insensitive even.

“Well guess what Senku, THE LAW CORRODED YEARS AGO AND EVEN THEN GREED RULES ALL” That was when you first exploded, the moment where you let your emotions become so intense.

And instead of love, anger was the emotion that took control over your actions and tears were the one that falls to the ground instead of your knees bending to be loyal to your lover.

“Do you understand the concept of what would happen if we bring everyone back to life? It would just repeat history, the wars,greed and corruption, it will all just come back” Your nails start to dig itself into your arm and maybe it was the first time he seen you vulnerable.

As if you were keeping this in your chest for far too long.

“Y/n, its for the betterment of the future, we need everyone and-“

“I understand your compassion, your drive for a society that has a scientific advancement but god damn. Is it necessary to bring them all back?”

“Yes” his voice was firm. Like it always has been.

“Then I do not see this relationship working”

Before he knew it, you were already out on the woods to side with Tsukasa. The first moment he saw you after your break up was when they went to find Homura who trailed after Gen, Chrome and Magma.

You were right there, sitting on a high tree branch with your eyes closed, dozing off as the wind carried pieces of your hair. Senku, for the first time felt relieved and ashamed at the same time. You were an unexpected variable in the double tag game that Senku was currently playing.

He missed you.

But it doesn’t mean you’re not an enemy.

Your eyes opened when you heard Homura yelped from the ground. Immediately you were alerted and scale down your enemies, only to be met with your ex’s eyes.

Eyes unreadable on both sides, you silently left. No way you could beat the scientist’s team.

Before Kohaku could chase after you, his hand lifted up with hesitancy. She halted mid stance to jumping at an impossibly high branch. Her eyebrows furrowed as your figure slowly were eaten by the shadows of trees and your white fur cape blending into the snowy terrain.

“Why did you stop me?” She would ask.

But she wouldn’t get anything out of him. Not even Gen would know what endeavors happened to the two of you.

He thought you would surely report it to Tsukasa.

But no, it was like you became a phantom. No one, not even Yuzuriha and Taiju, were able to get the information on what you saw that day. Not like they had the chance to talk to you.

The next was the invasion. Well according to Chrome practically did saw you as you frequently checked on the guards and prisoner—which was him, with a sharp gaze that could pierce someone physically.

And that you’d sneakily bring grapes at his cell.

But unlike he expected, you swung a leg at Senku’s stomach, call it a double edged sword but he considered it a win as you made him closer to the miracle cave’s entrance but god damn did it knock the wind out from him.

“Long time no see, Senku” Emotions were running all over you, was it contempt? Anger? Or was it longing? Not even the mentalist could read you.

“Hah… You too, Y/n” He said. Crawling back further inside, still facing towards you as you walk agonizingly slow towards him like a snake playing with its prey into a corner to strike when its most vulnerable.

“I have to kill you, yknow that right?” There was no hint of sarcasm in that tone of yours. It was serious, a promise that it would happen. “I simply cant let you revive everyone”

“You could kill me the moment you kicked me but why didn’t you?” He asked, as if that was the most appropriate thing to say. As if he doesn’t see the knife made of obsidian that rested nicely in your hand.

You were about to answer before a thump on your shoulder happened and your vision turns black.

—-

You were back at the boat, looking at Ryusui who proudly showed everyone the new bar. It was to entertain and let everyone’s spirits loose and relax but here you were, still sitting on one of the chairs as Marie mixes your drink, it was Hanazake sling shot.

And it was your fourth one for the night. Your face was barely flushed unlike the others who were clearly drinking lighter ones than yours.

Your head soon rested on the table, to calm your vision that started to make patterns on their own.

The chair beside you creaked in a horrible way, it was bothering your ears. You let out a ‘tsk’ out of annoyance, you turned to the side away from the stranger.

“I didn’t take you as an alcoholic” A familiar voice said.

“Well its not like anyone knows me that much anyways” You said out loud with a slurred grumble, your left arm waved them off to shoo them away. You weren’t interested at all.

But curiosity piqued inside of you, who was the person willing to talk to you especially after they found out you were ready to murder the leader of the Kingdom of Science.

Your head turn to the stranger’s direction and lo and behold. It was your ex. Even with a wax like vision, his gravity defying leek like hair to his ruby red eyes and sharp features were already ingrained into your mind.

“Augh, im gonna find Tsukasa” you mumbled, standing up with wobbly legs. Your legs feel wobbly, almost falling but it was a good thing your hands were fast enough to hold into the edge of the counter.

Stabilizing your balance, you immediately try to talk away as nonchalantly as a heavily drunk person could.

But fate has it that you won’t because the moment your feet moved, your wrist were grabbed by a bigger pair of hands than yours.

“You can’t keep ignoring me forever” Senku said, you didn’t have to look at him to know that he was frowning.

And it was true, you were in fact ignoring him. It was to the point where you could see him in the distance and disappear the moment he gets into the vicinity close enough to hear his voice.

Teaching the villagers about history? Continued later. A meeting? Busy helping villagers with foraging. New inventions that would’ve made anyone gush and everyone needs to be there for the grand reveal? well suddenly you were on a hiking trip to Mt. Fuji

And it frustrated the scientist to no bounds of the extent on how willing you are to avoid him.

Not even cotton candies were interesting enough to make you show up. And sweets were your favorites.

“Maybe I can” Your voice was softer this time, did i mention that the last day he heard your voice was when you gave flowers to Tsukasa’s refrigerator.

It strung a bitter cord on him as he watch you walk over to the long haired and conventionally attractive man who was a pro at power and fighting, you smiling up at the dude and laughing at the jokes that weren’t as witty as his.

Did you move on after 47 297 645 seconds of the break up? And if you did, were you now feeling your stomach red again because of the once greatest enemy that Senku had?

Senku doesn’t need someone to point out what he is feeling, it was the exact feeling that Taiju described to him when seeing Yuzuriha given multiple bouquets at the hallway during valentines day or how you two talk about the boys in calvin klein ads when gossiping at each other then giggle about it during recess.

Jealousy

You pulled your arm away from his grip, the alcohol was beginning to numb you and somehow you feel like your back to normal despite your heart rapidly pumping blood from his touch.

Though you crave it, doesn’t mean you should succumb to it.

“I’ll see you around Senku” that was the last thing he heard, you retreated back to your own room shared with Nikki who equally shares the same sentiment of being passed out drunk on her side of the room.
