If you asked the Lieserl Albert Einstein if she was a jealous person, she'd disagree in a heartbeat. Jealous? Over what? There was nothing in her life to be jealous about. Just maybe she'd get a little jealous if say… a stray cat walked over to someone else instead of her if she was offering food to one. But there were barely any chances and it's not like it'd affect her day or anything.

But if you asked her in this moment if this was what jealousy felt like, she'd say yes even faster.

Now of course Einstein was happy you got along with her colleagues. I mean, her colleagues were also your colleagues so you kinda had to get along with them to get through the day.There were many "group projects" that were within Anti-Entropy. No need to be outright friends but at least tolerating each other would be the bare minimum.

Yet there was a bubbling feeling in Einstein's chest that made her feel… strange. If this was the burning feeling of jealousy then why did it have to feel like this?

And why was she feeling it. You were just talking with Tesla! It's like Einstein was bothered by you ever talking to Tesla, or anyone for that matter. Maybe she was on edge, maybe it was a bad day (not really), or maybe she'd never know the reason.

The blue-haired scientist stood up from her seat and walked to where you and Tesla were talking. She stood next to you, not actually listening to the conversation at hand. All she knew is that it's been going on for a long time.

You smiled at her when she took your hand in hers. Einstein wasn't favorable to PDA much and this one, if not the only, time where it was an exception.

"Eh? Mophead you look different today. Angrier? Or did you do something with your hair?" The other scientist put tapped a finger against her chin absentmindedly before her mind came to the conclusion.

"Ah- I see! Well then, since we sorted everything out now, I'll take my leave," Tesla winked before walking to the door, picking up a stack of papers on the table by it.

"Thank the gods… I didn't want to restart on that entire project."

"Which project?"

"Oh just a small one that took too long to finish. Turns out one of my group members lost his part of it," you sighed with a defeated look, "I have better things to do then restart something so minimal but Tesla insisted she help pick up the small bit of slack."

Oh that-

"I see," Einstein nodded.

"Ya know Lieserl… Tesla's right. You are acting a little weird."

Heat crawled up Einstein's neck as she averted her eyes. It was very rare to see Einstein ever look bashful and you thought it was cute.

You giggled and squeezed her hand, "it was just a small conversation, did you get jealous."

"Perhaps I did," Einstein sighed, "I apologize. It feels unbecoming of me to feel such strange emotions over a small interaction."

"It's alright Lieserl. People get jealous sometimes, not like it's somethin' special. Besides, I'll love you forever."

You kissed Einstein's forehead and she swore her face was even more red at this point.

"Ahem- yes. I… love you too," her voice got a little quieter at the last part. Afraid that the people across the entire hall could hear her saying I love you.

"Well, we should get back to work, hm?"

Einstein nodded. You walked to each other's separate desks and sat down to work.

Only to find that Einstein had recieved an email a few seconds ago.

From… you?

From: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

To: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇

You do look cute when you're jealous though, Lieserl

it had been around a month since theresa and her students had joined anti entropy. it had also gotten way busier for einstein and tesla, as well as everyone else too. many of the ex-schicksal workers were still tracking for kiana after she had gone missing. work seemed to pile up a lot of the time and it was hard to keep up on it as well.

these recent months also seemed to take a toll on schicksal as well, as einstein hasn't gotten a single call from you in the last month. the blue haired scientist wanted to deny it but she's slowly realized how much she liked you. she hadn't developed any crush or romantic feelings for you, but she did somehow enjoy talking with you. the banter the both of you had seemed to lighten her day.

so when you stopped calling after the recent events, it worried einstein a tad bit more than she would like.

the sudden call of a familiar ring alerted einstein at her seat. she turned to look at the large screen in front of her while she wrote a report on the recent events. lo and behold, there was the id einstein had listed you under. "annoying scientist" stared back at einstein in big, blue colors and she touched the answer button.

"ah! eins you're still okay. that's good at least, really good actually," your voice sounded in the room.

the dark bags under your eyes were apparent to einstein. well, they were there before of course, but now they seemed to shine like a bright light at her. looks like neither you or her had gotten much sleep lately.

"so eins! you're probably wondering why i'm calling you" you started to talk again, "well i have a bit of a favor to ask of you right now."

"i wouldn't expect you to be one to ask for help from anti entropy," einstein said.

"don't make that smug face at me, eins. this is a... personal assignment i'm keeping from otto and everyone else, and i need your help with it."

"what kind of assignment?"

"it's one related to more personal circumstances. my family and such, it's just- i need your help with it please."

"what do i get in return?"

you blinked in surprise for a second, thinking for a second before answering.

"i'll stop calling you unannounced."

that was… it?

"you think that's enough?" einstein put her hands on her hips.

"i don't know what you want eins, i don't have that much money right now! if you help me i'll leave you alone and will stop calling you eins, okay?"

"i have a better option."

einstein pulled out her personal phone and opened it. she tapped through it until she got to her own personal phone number, revealing it to you once she got to it.

"just add my number to your phone and we can do this on our own time. we can meet in a private area if you so wish."

"of course! thank you, eins," you nodded as einstein watched you pull out your own phone and type something into it.

"and one more request before you leave" einstein watched you look at her with a confused look on your face, "make sure to rest. working sleep deprived does you no good."

you nodded and put on the familiar smile, one that einstein had grown attached to, "of course! see you later, eins."

with the appearance of winter, snow came along with it. and in your breaks with eins, you'd find yourself cuddling with her for a lot of that time. something about the snow just made you want to snuggle against her for the whole day and ignore the incoming work from anti-entropy. of course, that wasn't an option. ever.

but at the end of the day, you'd be able to sneak in some good amount of cuddles. with all your work being pushes to the next day, and eins in your arms, you'd be able to rest well.

but some days, you could drag eins off of work a tad bit earlier. those days were always your favorite.

"welt gave us time off! so we should be able to spend it well together," you smiled with eins successfully wrapped in your arms.

"we have been sitting here for the past two hours," eins deadpanned.

"that's how we spend time together!"

eins sighed, but she did let an amused smile slip, "fine, but you owe me hard work tomorrow."

einstein let out an internal groan as she saw your face pop up on a call with her.

"is there someone you need?" einstein asked. she hoped you could taste the annoyance that dripped from her voice.

she didn't want to talk to you now.

"heeey there eins!" your equally as annoying voice rang out into the room.

"don't call me that. what do you want?"

"well, you wouldn't happen to know about a little virus that appeared in your systems, right? of course everyone at schicksal, mostly me, was able to shut in down before any harm was done but i was just wondering. i know how you and tesla have some hacking abilities too. oh! and that other girl, what was her name… bronya?"

einstein groaned. externally. just so you could know how much she didn't want to talk to you.

"well, i can also let you know what no one in anti-entropy has put a virus into your own computers. so rest assured that we aren't guilty, so you can go figure it out yourself."

"ohhh alright alright eins. see you later then!"

"don't call me eins."

you gave an annoying, yet sweet wink, as you went off the call.

wait, sweet? no. you were annoying. an enemy at schicksal that einstein wouldn't tolerate ever thinking positively about now. in fact, you were blaming a petty virus on anti-entropy just now! how would einstein ever look past the fact that you were blaming them on something so petty? there was no point in even doing it right now.

to make things easier for myself, lets just say say this is a modern au without honkai so i don't have to factor them into this. einstein works as a scientist for anti-entropy still but it's a company thats goal is to improve the overall world (like climate change) along with tesla and welt!

you got married to einstein a while after she started working at anti-entropy, as you also work there and also knew each other a bit prior. einstein didn't know you that well but she knew you also frequented the coffee shop she went to before heading off to work. after a few coffee dates, a few years of dating, you two ended up marrying each other and sharing the same place.

it was a tad strange for the both of you beginning. not immediately going to sharing the same bed, but it was still different to wake up to someone with you every single day. but overtime you two were able to make it work out and now do indeed share a bed with each other.

einstein doesn't do a lot of hugging or cuddling but in the morning or when she's asleep, she can and will cuddle you. it's a moment of weakness for her to not be the smart scientist she is in front of everyone, so you get see the more cuddle-y side of her. it's really nice and you can't help but to cherish every moment she cuddles against you in the morning.

if you happen to wake up before einstein, she'll make some special coffee for you if you drink it. it's something she developed in the first few months of working at anti-entropy and is pretty strong. it doesn't really taste like anything and has a weird texture and look to it but it at least keeps you awake throughout the day. you can try to ask einstein what she puts in it, but she doesn't have much of an answer. all she remembers is throwing in some random things into her coffee and boom! she stayed awake for 2 whole nights.

you, tesla, and einstein were currently working on a big project. usually the three of you could work on your own, but this time it was urgent. something welt had sent the three of you to do together, an experiment he didn't explain much but did give the bare details for it. silence stretched through the room as the sound of tinkering and bottle filled with liquid glimmered in the background.

tesla looked up to you and einstein, watching as the mop head looked at you for a quick moment that returned with a nod from you. you walked to another stretch of counters and grabbed a vile, handing it to eins once you got back. the red head scientist huffed in response at you two. she swore you two never spoke around her. instead of giving quick looks to each other and giving the other exactly what they needed! how did you do it?!

she swore einstein was hiding something from her. maybe there were side experiments you two ran on your own? maybe it let the both of you communicate to each other with just glances. like telepathy or some sort of thing! she had to know! she was losing her mind from the questions!

the volcano filled with hot lava erupted as eins got you something you needed for another part of the job. she swore you didn't even ask!

"you two! stop telepathically communicating without me!" tesla accused you and eins.

einstein blinked, "huh?"

"you heard me mop head! you two can give each other anything with just a glance and no talking! i swear i've barely heard y/n even talk when anyone else is in the room!"

your gaze rose from what you were working on to the red head raging about her accusations. einstein looked at you, one of her brows raised in a questioning look at you. you couldn't telepathically communicate.

"tesla, i think that's just good communication," you said. your voice in that usual cold tone, you shared that with einstein. having a more science-y way of talking that was only helpful in actual scientific ways.

"you-!" tesla continued to rage.

she continued to ask questions about, raging to einstein about how you do it, or why you never included her with it either.

in the end, you and einstein were still confused. tesla had left the room to continue with one of her own private works. muttering about having to pay off her own debts and such.

"do you think we can telepathically communicate?" einstein asked, turning to you with a slight smug smile on her face.

"it'd be interesting if we could" you shared the same look on your face, "i just think you're easy to read now."

"i can say the same about you. spending so much time with you after all."

honestly, i can't say what einstein's love language would be. as tesla has pointed out, she has a more research-scientist way of talking that can come off as harsh at times. with you she learns to relax more, focusing less on her work at all times and spending more time with you.

in that sense i guess her love language would be quality time then??

being a scientist, especially in honkai, is stressful as hell. so when einstein can finally spend time with you she can go all out with it. she likes laying in your lap while watching a movie and slowly dozing off. it's just so comfy to be close to you. though, one time tesla did accidentally walk into the room while einstein was napping in your lap. she walked right out.

einstein likes holding your hand too! her hands are warm and feel ruff from all the work she does but they're so nice to hold. her hands are kind of small though so there's a chance yours are bigger in comparison to hers. but now matter how, both of your hands fit together perfectly. if you ever ask einstein why she likes holding your hand so much, that's her go to answer. she just likes your hands in general!

as expected, it's unlikely that einstein has ever kissed or dated someone before you. so she's a bit new to everything and especially new to showing a lot more affection to someone. it might take some time for her to get used to it, but baby steps are important! just to get her comfortable over time with giving and receiving affection.
