bantering with okabe
pairing: okabe rintarou x gn!reader
tags: implied romantic feelings (okabe for reader), labmember!reader, bantering/flirting
okabe likes to tease and annoy people! deep down, he's bad at showing his feelings, so he'd rather put on an act and convey his true feelings as a joke
he likes to tease you about why you became a lab member. he'll always ask if you joined because you had a crush on him or if you simply idolize him
you're his favorite target to tease, given how sweet you are. but you always snap back at him with a clever comment, which okabe loves!
he'd feel bad if he was just teasing you and never getting a reaction out of you. but you seem to enjoy this banter with him, so he always keeps it going
the other lab members often roll their eyes at your flirting – as they call it – but they are happy okabe found someone on his wavelength
they're happy they don't have to endure his teasing and annoying comments, plus you do seem to ground him
so if you and okabe would ever start dating, maybe he'd calm down a bit more and show his true feelings from time to time…
