Finals week.

No one has ever said they're a fan of finals week. Higuchi thinks that would be an original thought if someone was actually a fan. It's a gladiator ring of stress and citations. She's going a bit stir crazy studying and doing essay prep and idiotic group project and office hours; it's becoming a bit much. Higuchi lives in the library now.

Higuchi is stressed trying to write her final paper and Louisa shows up with some support.

Treat for @dramaticwriter <33 they’re so silly I loved writing them!

Higuchi(red and embarrassed): hey Hirotsu? Can I ask you for some um advice?

Hirotsu: of course Higuchi, what is it you need assistance with?

Higuchi(getting redder): well um I er have a date after work and I figured um...you would know more than ... the others we work with about how to- um...treat a um...lady...on a first date...and what's like best to wear...and um...

Hirotsu: congratulations on your date Higuchi. I would be glad to help you.

Higuchi: oh thank god. im so glad you've been on dates with women. no one else has.

Hirotsu: what are you most concerned about with your date higuchi?

Higuchi: well, should I bring a gift? And should I pay for the bill?

Hirotsu: hm. do you think she'll bring a gift, if so, i would bring one. Offer to pay the bill and if she says she got it, let her pay.

Higuchi: well, she'll probably bring a gift, but what do I get her?

Hirotsu: what does she like?

Higuchi: hmm...she likes books and nature. I could give her one of my parents old books?

Hirotsu: if you think she'll like it, go ahead. Remember, the important thing isn't the cost, it's the thought.

Higuchi: that was sweet wtf. anyways, thanks for the advice hirotsu!

Hirotsu: Any time Higuchi.

[MEANWHILE]

Louisa: um...Mr. Fitzgerald? What did you bring your wife on her first date?

Francis: Flowers. Obviously.

Louisa: what um kind?

Francis: Her favourites, lilies.

Louisa: hm. Alright.

Francis: are you going on a a date Louisa?

Louisa: ...yes-? I know the girl- er...well. um. I'm just concerned about doing something wrong. She likes flowers, but I'm not sure what kind and I'm scared to ask her.

Francis: Roses. Do roses and tulips. Those are the safest options. Your date will be perfect, use my credit card, make sure your date feels cared for. Pay the bill. Don't let her pay. Listen to what she's talking about and nod and smile.

Louisa: alright. Thank you!

Francis: Of course.

You were plenty on time, anon! Higuchi/Alcott headcanons it is~

They first meet and don’t really think about dating or anything at first. They just kind of bond over caring greatly for their superior.

Alcott accidentally starts the relationship by kissing Higuchi’s cheek without thinking. She feels so embarrassed that she runs away after.

Higuchi brings Alcott all kinds of coffee she can, trying to be helpful. Alcott feels amazing every time she does.

Alcott has silly little fantasies about Higuchi, like being swept off her feet and such.
