Senku Ishigami x Girlfriend!Reader
Epitome: If the heart cannot survive without the brain, it's evident that Senku cannot survive without his heart either.
Wc: 1.2K
The brain is theorised to survive for not more than several seconds after one's heart slows down, which Senku knows. Perhaps that's why he keeps you within a distance of a heartbeat.
It's unusual for anyone to spot Senku alone and about his work without you far from him.
When people take him to be emotionless, and all you can do is scoff in their face, because how would they know that you pick up on his emotions like you're his receptor?
If he were a flawless, efficient system, it was because you were the one to slow him to a pace that would not make him self combust like a wildfire.
You were never the one to think of leaving him be on his own. It's funny a mind cannot be lonely, for its only end for this decision is insanity.
It was always you and Senku at the end of the day, in the homelab you oh so carefully maintained to keep it from being destroyed. You insist on sleeping only when Senku has finally consumed the rest of his thinking capacity he had to finally decide to sleep, which would only be around 5, at the ass crack of dawn.
But refusing to sleep was only a trivial sacrifice to make if it let you spend the few nights together with your boyfriend has with you when he's home.
Senku didn't like that, however. He's honestly told you several times that he doesn't want you to have the same fatigue he's long used to. But have you ever listened to his advice? That's such a joke of a question to ask. He doesn't sleep, when you beg him to either.
"It would be beneficial to both of us if you take rest without having me glance at you every second to make sure you aren't going to accidentally bob your head into the beaker in front of you." He side eyes your slumped figure on the stool across from him.
He's not even sure you're awake when you are actively trying not to drool while you scroll away on your tab, preparing for the lecture tomorrow. But unfortunately for him, even if the universe were to stop repeating its cycles, it wouldn't deter you from doing what you want.
"How can that sexy brain work alone, love?" You push back his attempt with a query of your own. If it wasn't obvious you were delirious, it was now.
You always gave him.... unusual compliments, but he was never going to tell you it does make him flustered.
"Right, okay. Hand me the flask, but be careful. has gasoline in it."
Now you're not the clumsy type in Labs. In fact, you take pride in your efforts when Senku lets you help him out. But ever since you've had a fainting spell because of your lethargy and almost burnt down your house in the process, he's installed a monitoring camera in the kitchen.
So much for being the more protective one out of the two of you.
"My my Mr. Ishigami, trying to burn up my heart with that look?" You giggle dopily. You ordinarily don't flirt this shamelessly with your boyfriend, but when you do, you somehow dig your own grave. Only because Senku gets his lick back with all the teasing you do to him.
"Organs cannot catch on fire, we've talked about this," He scoffs completely passing over your attempt at wooing him.
Ah, but you know that. One line won't do the trick; you need to go all in.
" Senku Ishigami has never heard of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy shame," You retort clicking your tongue. Your notes were long since forgotten; now focused on Senku's back as he moves across the bench.
"You are neither 50 years old nor are your catecholamine concentrations high right now." He responds turning to give you a quick amused look.
"So? Well, I'm a medical anomaly, and you're the causative agent."
"Dr. House can only do so much about a silly brain, dear. I don't think he takes in lovesick patients."
Senku was mean, but he knew what to say to keep you from boredom. Dumb as it is, this would be what made you smile to yourself before you slept. People miss out on this side of him that was all for you.
"Deny all you want Ku. I basically live in your heart as you do in mine," you muse, twirling your pen in one hand, resting your head in another, all while looking at him with the smugness you probably stole from him.
Okay, he needs you out before his thoughts start to bunch up. It won't be funny when he needs to clean up explosion residues in the morning/
"How so?" He quirks right back, giving you an expectant look to finish your statement. He is right opposite you, glasses and gloves still on, leaning over the bench to face you better.
'This is a trap,' you think before answering back. It's like you don't listen to your own warning.
"I make sure you remember how to breathe when you can't. I'm important no?" You challenge him by copying his action and leaning barely a few centimeters away from his face. Immediately regretting when you feel his slow, steady breath fan over the lower half of your face, sending tiny shivers down your shoulders.
Three years, and he still finds a way to make you nervous. Damn him.
Fortunately for you, you affect him the same way. If you didn't know that, you wouldn't be testing him like you are now.
He slightly lowering his eyes and half smirks, probably giving himself a moment to applaud himself for whatever he was about to say to you.
did you want to rile him up? Yes. did you want to be in whatever this was? also yes but no.
"Could you also make me forget how to? If i really had to say you're the only one to cause Tachypneic breathing in me"
If he was trying to jump start your ovulation and telling you to eat him alive it worked. But Senku knew you wouldn't do it. Not when he had his big ruby eyes fixated only on you and how you could feel see hand inching to the base of your throat to pull you in.
you don't fold no, you're smart brain decides to spew incoherent Syllables. "you- I'm not going to- BYE" You swat his hand scramble with your things before fleeing out the door to let your legs carry you to the bedroom. If anything its a temporary escape before you cave in and kiss him senseless. He's going to wait for you to do it first. He always does until your not able to sleep because you're picturing his lips over yours again and again and agai-
"I HOPE YOU'RE HAPPY GETTING RID OF ME ISHIGAMI" you yelped making sure he heard you before you were truly out of his sight.
Senku snickers to himself softly, though he's hurt you couldn't push yourself a bit more.
"Well there's always another time we can make out in the lab"
The mind and the heart are not independent organs rather they make sure their effects are evident on the other.
ANON IM SORRY MY ADHD TOOK THIS TO A RANDOM ASS DIRECTION I WANTED TO TRY SOMETHING NEW.

using the limited scientific terms I know because I'm not qualified YET to be in a medical college.
Hmmm it seems an awful lot like there's a crack in one of the windows on this space ship.... I think I've been mistaking the warning sounds for my own drumming heart beat.
It's a shame I can never tell apart excitement from fear at times like this. I think I'm going to crash land soon... I think it's too late to warn anyone
CEEEEEEE WHAT THE HELLIANTE IS THIS???????? IM SOBBING AND CRYING !!!! THATS THE CUTEST THING IM GONNA EAT HIM AFTER IM DONE DISOWNING HIM !!!! AND THEN IM EATING YOUUUUU !!!! wait NOW I HAVE TO MAKE THIS AN OFFICIAL AU !!!!!! UST!TEAJAX IS SO CANON BC CEE SAID SO !!!! wld it be okay w you if i commandeered this moodboard?? i wld OF COURSE credit you for CLITERALLY EVERYTHING !!! but it’s j too beautiful, i wldnt be able to create smth nearly as perfect to capture our vibes 🥹🥹🥹
Forgive me, forgive me. I ask, I beg, I pray, but it never comes.
You know I find it incredibly bewildering to see just how much kalki reflects myself in him like YEAH Duh of course he does, he’s my little guy it’s like his full time job. But at the same time he is a fully functional facet of my being and he is at the mercy of my whimsies, and whatever he discovers in his arduous journey of self realisation is ultimately a reflection of what I discover in the real world. It’s also incredibly funny because ffxiv lore for dark knights is really baked into the idea of (re)discovering yourself amongst the bloodshed and continuing to live and love and thrive despite the world working against us. who would have thought such a raw message could come from an mmorpg side quest about edgy emo boys of all places
also adamantite armour of fending i would lay down my LIFE for u
variant + phone bg version + ID below the cut
tch as if you guys are actually going to use artwork of my little guy as your phone background. i know. how dumb. let a girl dream. i should make an alternate version but it's of Fray and Myste
[START ID: A picture with a red background focusing on the character's bust that is placed to the left of the image's centre. He is coloured with a dark blue overlay, contrasting with the red background. He has brown skin, long black hair that falls over his shoulders, and is wearing blue and gold armour and earrings. He is looking at the viewer, right eye dark brown and the left an glowing unnatural red, with an expression that looks determined and angry and yet bitter and forlorn. In the foreground and on the right side of the piece, a miniature version of the character stands coloured in a light blue overlay and wearing the same blue and gold armour, looking as if he is glowing. He is facing towards the left of the piece, or perhaps at the character bust, his expression unreadable. Above the miniature character's head is the symbol representing the FFXIV dark knight, coloured in gold. END ID.]
currently at That Point which occurs once every few months where one briefly begins pacing around the house teary eyed contemplating selling their own organs or becoming an online scammer or getting on anxiety meds so you can bear the risk taking required to be a hitman or so on and so forth.... why must everything so Expensive... Surely all would be healed in life if only I had one big plate of lasagna and a simple loan of $40,000 ... auoughhh....
