Still not the request. I'm deeply sorry. But I'll work on them, I promise :)

I made this one last summer, and I'm emptying my notes cause *sighs* there's just a lot of them.

Please watch out for typos. Don't hesitate to ask me anything if you ever have questions in mind...

*sulks in the corner*

Without knocking, you entered the room slowly, caution in your steps as to conceal your presence. You looked around the room. It was dark and messy. Weird fragrances of medicines wafted under your nose. You walked ahead, knowing that there is a window right through the end of the room. You flung your hands against the wall. The feel of thick, dusty fabric registered to your sense of touch. With a hard pull, the curtains was brought down. Light filled in to the room. It was quite odd to see the place brightly. You heard a groan from around somewhere and whisked your head into that direction. A man with short blue hair coifed into a braid was just getting up from sleep. Obviously at how he looked at you with groggy eyes and the trail of drool on the left side of his mouth.

"Good morning, sleepy head." You greeted with an undertone of exasperation.

"Did I fell asleep?"

"No. I stole your consciousness and felt guilty so I gave it back to you this morning." You said sarcastically. The man just raised a brow at you but widened his eyes. "R-really? How did you do that? But that's impossible. Wait it might not be..."

You rolled your eyes at him. "That was sarcasm you fool. And don't get started with me first thing in the morning. By the way there is one thing I should ask you..." You closed your eyes. Ugo tilted his head to the side and waited for your question.

"Did you pulled off an all nighter again?" You asked. Ugo's body tensed up at your question, or most likely the steely glare you were sending him. 'Ugh, not this again...'

"Ummm... It's.... Ah..." Ugo stuttered while trying to concoct a plausible excuse that will not send him flying out the window again. In the end he gave up, since there was no way you wouldn't find out the truth. With a heavy sigh he confessed, "Yes. Yes I did."

You walked towards him. Every step you take made his pulse quicken. This went on for what seemed like hours, until you were only a step away from him. Ugo can hear the background music intensify. He shut his eyes close as he waited for that kick.

One... Two... Three...

Nothing came.

'Perhaps my calculation was a little early?'

Ugo remained his eyes closed and added five more seconds. Still nothing. There's no way that you won't do it. After the incident happens everyday he lost hope that a day would come that you won't come barging in his lab to kick his ass for tiring himself out. 'Maybe she already left.' No, she didn't. He can feel her breaths near his face.

Then suddenly, pain shot to his forehead. He immediately opened both eyes open and rubbed the stinging area. It hurts but he was a little grateful that this was all he'll get today.

"You're just too stubborn aren't you? You shouldn't be pushing yourself too hard. I mean, look at yourself. Your bags are big, you look like a weird widower otaku. In that case you'll never get a girlfriend! What will happen to your future?" You scolded him just like you always did. You didn't help but to notice the change of expression in his eyes at the mention of 'girlfriend'.

"Never be able to get a girlfriend? Yeah that's right. No one would love a nerd like me. Not even you..." He said. You were a bit surprised at his last sentence.

"Stupid daruma. I love you. But you love your stupid research more. There's just no way I'll win over that so it's hopeless." You said casually, as if your confession wasn't really a big deal. "Well, you should at least take a rest and eat some breakfast. Solomon and the others are waiting for you." You said as you retreated. Suddenly you felt a warm hand on yours. You looked around and saw that it was Ugo.

"Wait. You really love me, as in love me not just a friend?" He asked in disbelief.

"Yeah! And I thought you were smart. Now let me go and forget what I said." You yanked your hand away from him but instead he pulled you into a hug.

"I love you too. I really do (y/n)... More than science, my research or anything!" He said. It almost made you cry. The way he said it was too genuine, full of love. But of course you choked it back. You don't want this to be more touch feely as it is.

"Well then, take a rest for a week." You said breaking the hug. Ugo looked at you in disagreement. "(Y-y/n)!

You laughed. "I'm just kidding. Come on, let's go get some breakfast. Geez since when did you last eat? You seems to be getting smaller..." You said jokingly as you intertwined your fingers around his. Ugo's face heated up at the gesture. His heart started beating erratically. But he smiled at the warmth of your hand.

Thank you :)
