Senku would make small child safe chemistry items for his son. His son barely a year old but crawling early for a 5 month old; it is not surprise to everyone in the village since he is the son of Senku Ishigami and got his smarts and intelligence. He named him Akira Byakuya Ishigami, he now understood how his dad felt when he saw Senku hit milestones because he was very proud of his son. His wife Y/N was just as proud of Akira for learning to crawl early but also worried as he always crawled towards the lab knowing that was where his dad was all the time. Senku had to make a door so his son didn’t crawl inside.
Senku was making blue prints for his son’s toys when he heard his son crying outside, Senku got up and opened it” Akira, you know you aren’t suppose to crawl away from Mommy…” He looked down at his son then picked him up Akira snuggled into his chest, hiccuping from crying” you’re going to be the death of us, kid. Fine, you can stay with me while I work. But no touching anything dangerous.” He said, carrying Akira back to his workbench. He sat down with Akira on his lap, keeping a firm grip on him as he resumed sketching, Akira watched his dad sketch while sucking on his hand.
Senku chuckled at Akira’s fascination with his work, finding his son’s curiosity adorable. He held up the sketch of the chemistry set for Akira to see, pointing to the different beakers and test tubes" look at this, buddy. This is how we make science happen. You’ll be able to do this someday too” he said, using his free hand to gently bounce Akira on his knee. Akira cooed and babbled in response, still sucking on his hand but now watching Senku intently. He looked at the flask in the picture then at the one on the table” ince” as he tried to to say science but couldn’t since he was still too young and had no teeth to form proper words but he was trying.
Senku’s eyes widened in surprise and delight as Akira tried to say “science”. He grinned widely, feeling a rush of pride and excitement” that’s right! Ince! Good job, Akira! You’re already learning!" He praised his son, kissing the top of his head. He picked up the flask on the table and held it up for Akira to see better” this is a flask. We use it to mix chemicals and create new things” He looked at the clear object, he touched it gently” icals” he tried to say chemicals. Senku’s heart swelled with joy as Akira tried to say chemicals. He couldn’t believe how smart his son was already, picking up on the scientific terminology so quickly. He chuckled and nodded enthusiastically” yes! Chemicals! You’re a natural at this, Akira. You’re going to be a scientist just like daddy."
He ruffles Akira’s hair affectionately. He set the flask down and picked up a beaker instead, showing it to Akira” and this is a beaker. It holds the chemicals we use” Akira said as he held the bottom of the beaker “Eeeaaaeerrr” *Senku laughed again, his eyes sparkling with amusement. He was completely enamored with Akira’s attempts to speak” close enough! Beaker! You’re getting there, buddy. You’re going to be saying full sentences in no time." He encouraged him, taking the beaker back and setting it down safely, he noticed that Akira was starting to droop a bit, his eyelids getting heavy. But he was still determined to stay awake and learn. Akira jolts awake, sitting up and whines like he was hating being tired.
Senku chuckled at Akira’s stubbornness, noticing how he would jolt himself awake whenever he started to doze off. He could see the frustration on his son’s face as he fought against sleep” hey now, no need to be grumpy about it. You need your rest, little man. You can’t learn if you’re tired." He gently rubbing Akira’s back in soothing circles. He knew that Akira was a fighter, just like him, but he also knew that his body needed rest to grow and develop properly. Akira moved so he was sitting sideways on his dad’s lap and leans into him, his head resting on his chest, holding onto his shirt and fell asleep.
Senku smiled softly as Akira settled into a more comfortable position, his little body going limp against him. He wrapped his arms around Akira protectively, holding him close as he slept. He could feel Akira’s tiny fingers clutching his shirt, even in his sleep" there we go, finally. Sweet dreams, my little scientist." He pressed a kiss on the top of Akira’s head. He continued to work with one hand, careful not to jostle his son too much. The lab was quiet now, save for the sound of Senku’s pencil scratching against paper and Akira’s soft breathing, the soft glow of the candlelight being the only light in the lab.
It was a rare day off from making the tank, it was a nice day and everyone was doing their own thing outside near the Ishigami Village, Y/N was showing Suika how to braid by braiding another little girl's hair, Suika asked" can you braid someone with short hair like mine?" Y/N said" kind of some people can braid short hair some can't but it's best to have hair at least past your shoulders so you can have more hair to work with" she carefully shows Suika how it's done with the little girl's blonde hair.
The little girl was staying still, humming softly Suika asked" once I get better at this, think I could braid Senku's? I mean his is sticking straight up and I can see in my head that his hair is about pass his shoulders" Y/N smiled" it is possible. Don't worry about not being able to get it the first try, took me a 5 years to be able to braid hair, I practiced on my grandma's hair when she was alive and sometimes Senku much to his dismay"
She chuckles as she remembered back in the old world that she would be in his room, braiding the back and side of his hair while he was tinkering with something and listening to him explain to her what he was doing even though he knew he would lose her since she was not a scientist genius like he was.
After Y/N finished the girls twin braids, she smiled as she touched them gently with happiness" thank you Chieftess" Y/N chuckles softly; Senku proposed to her under the first Christmas tree he made after three thousand years with the light bulbs and had a small ceremony. They said their vows and exchanged rings that Kaseki made then kissed, after the wedding everyone started calling Y/N Chieftess since Senku was the Chief of the village, she did try and tell them to call her by her name but some of the villagers forget so she stopped correcting them; it was still a bit embarrassing to her though.
Y/N smiled as the girl stood up and grins" I love my new hairstyle! I'm going to show Mommy and Daddy!" She waved bye and saying good luck to Suika on her braiding lessons and ran off. Y/N stood and pats her the back of her dress to get the dust off it" lets go practice on Kohaku and Ruri, they have a bit longer hair than the little girl then next is Senku" Suika's eyes sparkle under her helmet" I can't wait!" The two went to Ruri's hut knowing Kohaku was there helping her sister with herbs.
Two Weeks Later
Suika finally got good at braiding hair after practicing braiding some of the villagers' hair; male and female and kids, she gathered flowers and hurried to Senku's lab, she knocks on the door and Y/N opened the door as she was helping her husband mix some chemicals" oh Suika, what's up?" Suika smiled as she jumped up and down happily" I finally can braid different length of hair!" Y/N smiled" good job Suika!" she pets her watermelon" I'm assuming you are here for Senku?" Suika nods and came in the lab.
Y/N went over to the table where her husband was" Senku, can you stop for a bit? Suika wants to show you something she learned" Senku looked at his wife and at Suika and sets his flasks down" alright, I guess I can take a break" he stretched his arms above his head then bent his left arm, his hand on his right arm that was still raised then he bent backwards a bit with a grunt. He dropped his arms and went over to Suika" what have you learned Suika?" Suika said" it's nothing to help with science I'm sorry but Y/N taught me it just for fun. You need to sit on the ground and bend forward a little so I can reach your hair" Senku crossed his arms" braiding hair?" Y/N giggles" of course you would get it immediately Senku" Senku sits down and bends down a bit so Suika can reach where she needed to reach.
He said" you did the same thing when we were in middle school, you said you had something to show me and that I had to have my eyes close and when I did I had five braids in my hair" Y/N giggles" I'm half sorry, I believe you looked really good in them" Senku rolls his eyes" You're lucky I tolerated you and allowed you to do that and keep it on until we left school. Like I would go home with that, my dad would of teased me so bad because of it" Y/N giggled softly at that as she knew Byakuya would tease Senku about his braids.
Suika smiled" all done and I added flowers!!" Senku sat up and Y/N looked at her masterpiece; Suika braided one of Senku's bangs and added two more braids in the front and flowers in his hair, Y/N crossed her arms" looking good Senku" she looked around and saw a mirror piece and held it up to Senku. Senku tried not to cringe and make a face not wanting to upset Suika" very skillful Suika, not bad" Suika smiled happily" you look like a flower fairy!"
Y/N coughed in her hand trying not to laugh, Senku takes out a flower from his hair" if you two are satisfied, I'll take these off then" Suika's eyes water" don't you like it Senku...? Why do you want to take it off already? I worked so hard on the braids..." Senku sweat drops at Suika' shit...' Not wanting to upset Suika and get scolded by Y/N for being heartless, he sighs and kept the braids and flowers. Suika cheered and ran off to tell Gen and Kohaku what she did. Y/N smirks" good choice," Senku grunts" I don't need to look like a bad guy and get chewed out by you and the others for making Suika upset and cry..." He went to his table and picks up his flask and vial to mix some chemicals" take notes" Y/N just giggled and takes out his notebook and wrote what his findings were' I wish I had my phone to take a picture of him'
Later on Gen and Kohaku came in the lab, Gen smiled" oh? So Suika said was try," Kohaku said mockingly" wow... he really is cute, he looks like a flower fairy" Senku's left eye twitch, gripping his flask and vial, looked at the two intruders in his lab" I am working! Go away you two! You're so damn annoying!" his face and ears were red, Y/N giggles softly behind the book. Kohaku said" she did pretty well" Gen said" he is such a softie to children," Senku sets the flask and vial down and rubs his face" leave please..." Y/N giggles" now now Senku, be nice. You two don't tease Senku either, nothing wrong for him to be soft to the kids, he is still human and can show emotions"
Gen said" we know Y/N, it's just a bit new seeing him act soft, we are use to him being blunt and hardass" Y/N glared lightly" Gen watch it" Gen raised his hand in defense" I'm sorry Y/N-chan.." Senku sticks his left pinky in his ear" don't go feral Y/N, it's a normal reaction. I'm not offended" she looked at her husband" doesn't mean I can't be offended as you are my husband and I can defend you," Senku smiled softly" I appreciate it," Gen said" you two are adorable," the two left, Y/N walked over to Senku and strokes his cheek" I just hate that they get all shocked when you show normal human emotions.. It's like they forget you have those emotions.. It's insulting."
He sighs and placed his hand on hers that was on his cheek" it's understandable though since I rarely do show soft emotions like that, you are the only one who has seen me cry and being soft, so when people see it, it's new to them so I don't blame them" she sighs and leans into him and hugged him" I know..." she listens to his heart beat, he wraps his arms around her waist" I do appreciate you standing up for me, thank you Y/N. I love you" he kissed her forehead.
A bit sad we don’t get all the way downhair Senku like in season 2 but this works to~ we see slicked back hair Senku. He’s too sexy for his own good like that… I mean look at this man! God damn this man got to stop looking so good!! It’s so unfair! IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE TO LOVE THIS MAN ANY MORE THAN I ALREADY AM!? He’s remembering when he made that swimming suit for Byakuya. My heart….
I couldn't post all the story in one post since there is a word limit here. So two parts of the story
After that night Y/N was part of Senku's little friend group, Taiju was thrilled to have a new friend and apologized for believing some of the rumors the students were making up about him, Y/N forgave him and he didn't really want to make it a big deal. Y/N came to lunch" hey guys! I have a surprise" He sat down beside Senku, he was leaning against the tree reading about rockets while Taiju and Yuzuriha were looking at her smartphone, watching cute cat videos. The three looked up when they heard Y/N, he pulled out four bento boxes" I told my grandma I made friends, like real friends and she was very thrilled to hear that and she made you three bentos as a thank you for being my friends. She made the traditional kind of bento food so onigiri in different shapes that I thought fit you three, Teriyaki salmon and chicken karaage along with Tamagoyaki (sweet rolled egg), blanched broccoli and pickled cucumbers also with grapes and some berries and with-" he pulled out a big thermos" Lemonade!" Taiju's eyes sparkle" oh wow! Your grandma made all that for the three of us?! All last night! She rocks!" Y/N distributes the different bentos, he gave Senku a green cloth that held the bento, Taiju a brown on and Yuzuriha a pink one. They each opened their bentos; Senku had four flask shaped onigiri, Taiju had four dumbbells, Yuzuriha's were four cat heads. Yuzuriha's and Taiju's eyes sparkle in awe and wow, Taiju said" this is so sick Y/N! Did your grandma make these?!" Y/N said" I did the shapes as her hands weren't steady" Senku lifted his up and moved the onigiri around" not bad, you got the flasks precised" Y/N smiled, blushing lightly at Senku's praise" I tried to do rockets but it just wasn't keeping shape. So I figured flasks would work to" Senku hums" either works, good job Y/N" Taiju grins" these are awesome Y/N! Tell your grandma we said thank you. Itadakimasu!" The three repeated him and started digging in their lunch, Taiju was in heaven" god these flavors just melt in your mouth!" Senku said hums as he tasted his, the end of the chopsticks in his mouth, eyes closed" it's pretty good, better than my cooking and just slightly better than my old man's" Yuzuriha praised" the flavor really explodes on your taste buds, was your grandma a chef in her youth?" Y/N smiled" no, she was a stay at home wife and mother. She told me her own grandmother taught her how to cook great food with limited food" Taiju said" well compliments to her and her grandma! This is really good" Y/N smiled softly" I'll be sure to tell her you guys enjoy her cooking. The bentos are yours to keep also" Taiju grins" awesome! I will decorate mine with stickers when I get home!" Yuzuriha said" that sounds fun, I'll do that to." Senku said" you'll need to find water resistant stickers then because normal stickers will lose it has a special type of glue called pressure-sensitive adhesive. The adhesive relies on a balance of two molecular forces—adhesion which means sticking to the surface and cohesion that sticks to itself which allows it to bond without needing water or heat. Also when you scrub your bento box it'll rub the pictures you had off and they'll flake off like paper." Taiju said" okay" he had no idea what Senku said but agreed to get water proof stickers to make it last longer on his bento. Y/N looked at Senku" can you tell more about science later Senku?" He looked at Y/N" yeah, come by the science club and I'll explain it while I work on a project there" he nods, kind of excited to learn more and listening to Senku's yapping, he really liked listening to Senku explain things.
After school, Y/N called his grandma telling him he was staying late to help Senku in the science club and that the three enjoyed their bentos and they said thank you for making the meal and the bentos. His grandma smiled" I'm so happy to hear your friends enjoyed my cooking Dear, you be careful coming home," Y/N slid the door of the room where the science lab was to the right" I will Grandma. I love you" he hung up, he walked to where Senku was, Senku said while screwing some screws in a contraption" be sure to wear safety goggles and you can borrow a lab jacket hanging on a rack in the left corner of the room" he didn't want Y/N to be hurt or his clothes be ruined even though they weren't using dangerous chemicals. Y/N nods and went to the corner, slides on a lab coat and goggles over his eyes, he went over to Senku" can I help with any thing?" Senku pulled his face from the hatch of the contraption" I laid out some tools, if I need one, hand it to me, you know the basic tools right?" Y/N looked at the tools and nods" yeah, I helped my grandpa with his cars before he passed," Senku's red eyes soften" I'm sorry..." he smiled" thank you.. He's been gone for two years and it still hurts and I miss him, I know my grandma does to." Senku takes a socket wrench and clicks on a 1/4 inch drive on it and reached in the hatch, face in it" can you shine some light in here" Y/N grabs a small handheld flashlight, clicks on it twice so it was on its dim light not wanting to blind Senku in that tiny space he moved so he could shine the light in the hatch without being in Senku's way. He holds it by his head and moved it where Senku told him to until he was where he wanted him to be. Senku started tightening bolts, the clicking of the socket wrench echoed in the metal he said" it's okay to miss him and it will take time to heal, you won't ever stop missing him but the hurt won't be as painful as it was before. There will be times that the hurt will be too much and you curse god on why he took your grandpa when you know you weren't ready to lose him but know you will never be ready to lose a love one. I know you will feel the same way when it's your grandma's turn to leave this Earth just know you are not alone now, you have me, Yuzuriha, Taiju, and my old man when you meet him. He'll be home in two weeks from America" Y/N looked at Senku a bit shocked to hear that but his eyes soften and smiled" thank you Senku" Senku hid his face as he continued tightening the bolts but his ears were red and Y/N was told by Taiju that Senku's ears turn red when he blushes; Senku denies it but Y/N has seen it a few times when he becomes bashful. He pulled away, Y/N pulled away to, the scientist rubs the back of his head" don't think too much about that okay..." Y/N chuckles knowing how Senku is with feelings and being sentimental" sure Senku."
From then on almost every night they meet up on the hill and look at Orion's belt and just talk, whatever is troubling each other, Senku showed his sensitive side and talked about his insecurities to Y/N and Y/N never judged or made fun of the young scientist, he listened and did his best to give Senku advice and assurance he needed. Whenever they did have small fights and had time away from on another, the other man knew where to find the other; at the hill that had a good view of Orion's belt and the other stars. The two would apologize and ends up with laughs and hugs even though Senku tries to always deny he enjoys Y/N's hug.
Present
Y/N stared at Orion's belt" Betelgeuse is still there thankfully, I read back then it could explode into a supernova any time or up to 100,000 years, it has only been 3,000 years so the star has 97,000 years left or at least I hope, it still could go any night; it is in its late stages of core carbon burning, which typically lasts around 1,000 years. Some astronomers hypothesize it could be in the very final stretch of this stage, bringing the explosion closer on a cosmic scale" Senku smirks" you been looking it up and reading any latest news about it huh?" Y/N nods" yeah, I was curious about it, I mean like you I was curious about space after hearing from Byakuya about how you were curious about the moon following you" Senku blushes red, looking away to hide it but his ears gave him away, even after all these years and being married to Y/N he still hated blushing in front of him" damn that old man... telling you about my silly childish questions and experiments..." Y/N chuckles" it's cute and I'm glad you were so curious as a child and asking so many questions. You also helped him with his astronaut exam with the suit even though it didn't really work, it pushed him to swim" Senku chuckles" well I expected it not to work ten billion percent since I was still four and it was a bit rushed to," Y/N smiled" you were still amazing and being a good son to help your dad" Senku grunts" don't make it sound like I am so sentimental over the old man..." he looked away trying to down play his emotions as he remembered Byakuya and how he believed in him and giving him any thing he needed for his science journey.
Y/N looked at Senku" I want you to return and I know Chrome and Suika will likely refuse to see you, Ryusui and Tsukasa leave and knowing you aren't coming back. They will do all they can even if they are still learning science to build a two way rocket," Senku sighs but smiled softly at the moon" yeah.. I know they will, I will shut them down but they are stubborn and I know they will work hard.. Like Xeno and I will be with the first rocket and probably many others since no first rocket is ever successful" Y/N leans into Senku" we made many impossible inventions in the stone world, this won't be any different" Senku wraps his arm around Y/N's shoulders and rubbed his left arm gently" yeah... This will work Y/N, I will come back to you" the two shared a loving look and kissed softly under the moon, Y/N placed his left hand up over Senku's left hand, their silver wedding rings reflect off the moon's light.
After Senku told everyone about the rocket being a one way trip to the moon and he and two people that would be coming with him would be petrified on the moon until they were rescued. Y/N got really upset and the two talked under the stars, staring at Orion's belt, going down memory lane on how they met before the green light that ended humanity. Senku x male reader
Senku looked at everyone with a serious look" now we got a working Medusa... We have what we need to pull it off... Our all important moon mission. Kamikaze style" Y/N's eyes widen as his blood ran cold knowing that word meant Japanese suicide attack. During World War 2 pilots intentionally crash explosive-laden air crafts into Allied naval vessels to stop their advance. It was a desperate, state-sponsored missions that peaked from late 1944 which resulted in over 3,800 deaths and significant damage to Allied ships to.
He walked closer to his husband; they got married after the sulfur acid mission way back after realizing they could not live without one another and wanted to make it official after dating even before the petrification. It was a simple ceremony since the villagers didn't know much about how weddings were back in the old world and Senku didn't want to make a big deal out of it, they just exchanged vows, Kaseki made them rings and they kissed that was all. Y/N asked" where is this going Senku.." He was scared to even know but he had to.
Senku looked Y/N and sighed" Why-Man could petrify the planet any given moment, we can't predict when he'll attack, we have to stop him as soon as possible while we still can" He puts his hands on his hips as he looked at Ukyo, Kohaku, Ryusui, Yo, Gen Chrome, Suika and continued" we're barely making a rocket... adding a return craft would take us way too long" Ryusui hummed" hm got it.. I read you loud and clear, it seems there's a heavy toll to pay here for our trip to the moon to confront Why-Man. Whoever steps in that rocket isn't coming back down to Earth, am I wrong?" Everyone's eyes widen while looking petrified, Chrome, Suika and Kohaku gasped. Y/N whips his head towards Senku as he looked at Ryusui serious still Y/N whispered" you knew..." Senku said nothing for a minute then said" over time human kind will progress, one day a trip to the moon will be a common place, mark my words. Until that day comes; a scientist, a fighter and a pilot will wait patiently, petrified by their own doing to save the whole planet. They'll wait as long as it takes for science to come save them. Years, decades, centuries... We'll be hoping on a rocket ship with a functional petrification device for a one way trip of a life time."
Chrome was staring in disbelief, Y/N looked down, hand shaking" you knew and you continued working on the rocket.." Senku looked at Y/N" P/N (Pet Name)... It would take too long to make a return craft and we only have enough material to make the rocket ship," a loud slap echoed on the ship, everyone gasped as they watched Y/N slap Senku hard on the right cheek, his head turned a bit shocked but not surprised at his husband's action, he looked at Y/N with a red cheek, Y/N shakes, hand still up" we could have found more material! Why did you have to tell us this now!" Senku hated seeing him so upset but he had to tell everyone the rocket was not coming back after it landed on the moon" I wasn't going to keep that a secret, I am not heartless," Y/N stared at him" I wish you didn't.. At least... It wouldn't have made this more heartbreaking and upsetting! Now I am going to watch my husband and friends go to the moon knowing they will not be returning for who knows how long!! You're a fucking asshole Senku Ishigami!!" He ran off inside the ship.
Everyone didn't move, they didn't know what to do right now. They never seen Y/N this upset over Senku's recklessness, not even when Senku went to get the sulfur acid or him riding the tank into Tsukasa's empire or fighting Hyoga or any other dangerous things he had done so this was a new one. Senku sighs, rubs his stinging red cheek" let him cool down, get some rest, we still have work to do tomorrow" they walked off but Gen. Gen said" he has a point Senku... throwing this at him when the rocket is close to done..." Senku said" don't start with me Mentalist, I know what I am doing. He'll cool down and accept this. He always knows I am always going to come back no matter what. Just this is going to be a bit longer than what he thought.." Gen said" I hope you know what you're doing Senku..." He walked inside the ship.
Senku sighs and looked at the full moon, slouched a bit as he leans his arms against the railing, the wind blowing through his hair, bangs and cape making it wave gently" I'm doing the right thing, it's to fight against this Why-Man, keep the people from going back to stone and going extinct... I have to do this.." His eyes drift away from the moon and down to the sea, eyes watering but no tears spilled" right Old Man...?"
It was late and Y/N came out from his room and went on deck where Senku told everyone about the one trip to the moon, he was sitting on the railing, staring at the stairs. His e/c (eye color) were red and puffy as he just finally stopped crying, he stared at Orion's belt, lost in memory lane. Senku couldn't blame Y/N for being upset with him, his swollen cheek had went down after putting a cool rag on it, he won't admit it out loud but he did deserve that slap. He just sprung that on his husband out of the blue and so bluntly of course Y/N was use to the bluntness but this wasn't something Y/N wouldn't let slide. He got up from his hammock and went to the deck and he saw his husband sitting on the railing and takes a break and walked over" you're going to fall in if you aren't careful..." Y/N scuffs" maybe I should after all you're leaving me" Senku glared lightly" that is not funny Y/N and you act like I am leaving forever, it'll only be... maybe a few years, you guys will find someone who will build a better rocket and get me, Ryusui and Tsukasa off the moon. You'll also have Xeno so you won't be totally be without a scientist."
Y/N looked at him and said sarcastically" yeah, having Xeno by our sides will make us be so much better, not at all thinking about our friends on a moon, trapped in stone waiting for us to make more advance technology to get them back. You act like it'll be a piece of pie but it's not! You... You may not be dying but it feels like you are... Being on the moon for who knows how long and me being here on Earth just going on with my life... growing up while you will be 18 still... I'll be older than you... I can't do that Senku... not without you" Senku sighs and looked up at the stars" you're strong Y/N, I believe you will be able to continue going on without me. You'll help bring me back. You'll be Xeno's new protégé, he'll teach you everything he knows like he did with me but you'll have hands on than I did, I just got emails. So I am actually jealous, so you better show me all he taught you when I come back" Y/N chuckles lightly" yeah.. yeah, I will. I'm surprise that brain hasn't gotten fried from all the knowledge you have int here."
Senku smirks" I can cram more in this brain than you think. So what are you looking at? My new grave site?" He looked at the moon, Y/N glared at Senku" you want another red swollen cheek Senku?" Senku chuckles" no, no it took me an hour to get the other cheek to go down, I really can't have another one, I want sleep without painful throbbing on my cheek" Y/N grunts as he looked back at the sky" I was looking at Orion's belt and remembering when we met, middle of high school six months before the petrification" Senku leans against the railing and hums" I remember... It only feels like yesterday..."
Flashback
It was a beautiful day out, the windows were open, letting in the rare cool air inside homeroom, it was five minutes before the bell would ring signalling next class. Senku was drawing his next project on a piece of paper, everyone was hanging with their friends at other desks. Taiju was sitting backwards on a chair in front of Senku" what are you coming up with next Senku?" Senku said" another rocket with bigger rockets to hit the atmosphere without blowing up" Taiju said" sounds awesome! You'll have to show Yuzuriha later on" He grins, Yuzuriha was in a different homeroom than the two. Senku went to grab his eraser when he accidentally knocked over his bag making his things fall out, before he could get out of his chair someone was gathering them neatly back inside. He looked at the boy, he had short hair, his height was (your height) slicked back with gel, e/c staring at him after picking up the last time which was a key chain of a simple star with NASA in it that Senku's dad Byakuya sent him from America while he was training there. The boy held the backpack towards Senku without a word, Senku clears his throat and took his backpack and key chain" thank you.." The boy nods and left when the bell rung. Taiju watched the boy leave and said" his name's Y/N L/N, I heard around from other students that he was expelled from his previous school for putting one of his classmates in a coma just because he looked at him the wrong way," Senku looked at Taiju as he put his paper away in his bag" you shouldn't believe any thing people say Taiju, they only say things like because they like to add gossip and rumors to make this school more interesting and to survive the boring lessons," he got up and walked to his next class.
At lunch, Senku, Taiju and Yuzuriha were eating under their usual tree when they spotted Y/N coming out, throwing away what looked like a soaked brown bag, he was also soaked. He took off his shirt not noticing the three and rings his shirt out and lays it down on the ground so the sun could dry it, he dries his face with a towel and puts on his gym shirt on, Yuzuriha asked" you don't think he is being bullied do you?" Taiju frowns" impossible, he would of put a stop to that right away, he would have told a teacher or ended it himself," Senku said" I told you Big Oaf, not to believe in all that is being said about him without proof and I doubt he would do any thing serious that would get him kicked out of school and probably in juvenile detention." Yuzuriha frowns" it's sad his lunch got ruined though... Looks like he doesn't have an extra one.." She looked at the two" you have any extra food?" Taiju looked at his bento" I can't eat all this rice and curry, my mom packs a lot so this will fill him!" He grins, Yuzuriha said" I have some extra tonkatsuto (panko-breaded pork cutlet) Senku grunts" I am not giving him my lunch, he should of have had money to buy school lunch," Yuzuriha said" come on Senku, don't be mean. He might not have the money right now," Taiju said" yeah Senku! Don't be cold hearted like the people who dumped water on him and his lunch!" The scientist's eye twitch and grunts" fine... I guess I can spare him some of my rice but only for today, I am not charity" Taiju had a bigger bento so the two slid their portion of food onto the bento and Taiju got up and went over to Y/N. Taiju held out the bento" hello! I'm Taiju Oki! We're in the same homeroom, my friends and I saw you throw away your ruined lunch so we wanted to share some of our extra food to you," Y/N looked at the bento and looked behind Taiju, Yuzuriha waved politely, Senku was looking at a book on his lap as he ate the rest of his rice. Y/N takes the bento" thank you..." Taiju grins" you're welcome, you can bring the bento back tomorrow since we won't see each other until homeroom," Y/N nods and he ate with his own chopsticks that he didn't get to use. Taiju went back to Senku" you should of waved or at least a head nod," Senku said" I am not acknowledging him, I only did that because you two would of never got off my back for not contributing into giving some of my lunch to him."
After school, Senku left late from school after doing some mini projects in the science club room where he was the president. He yawns as he walked home, one strap of his backpack slung over one shoulder, a soda in his hand he got from a vending machine on the way home, he turned the corner and saw Y/N sitting on a hill, hugging his knees and looking at the sky. Senku was about to walk away when he saw a single meteor flying by and lets out a small gasp as it was rare seeing a meteor flying by mostly it was multiple ones flying by but a meteor show was int he late fall, this one must of broke free from a big meteor and now was traveling across space. Y/N turned his head hearing Senku's soft gasp, he looked over his shoulder at Senku tears in his eyes, he then looked away quickly and rubbed his eyes, Senku sighs and walked over and sits down beside Y/N and hands him his unopened drink, Y/N looked at the bottle and took it" so you heard the rumors?" Senku scuffs" yeah but like I listen to illogical stuff like that, there is no proof of these rumors that the students been spreading about you. I like proof before believing any thing and I have seen you in the hallways and you are pretty much like a lone wolf; avoid altercations and never acknowledge the students throwing paper balls at you in class. Pretty pathetic."
Y/N sighs" yeah... I'm not really a fighter, I was in one fight at my old school because someone insulted my grandma's homemade lunch and I used too much strength and sent him to the hospital. It was pure accident, I was just in a blind rage since my grandma raised me since I was 4 after my parents abandoned me," Senku hums" I guess that would be understandable, defending your grandma's cooking and her honor." Y/N sighs" after that happened, I got suspended two boys that started just got detention since all they did was voice their opinions and didn't throw the first punch even though they did it on purpose to get a rise out of me and got what they wanted " he air quotes the last sentence" Grandma moved me here, hoping for me to have new start..." Senku said" well you are doing a good job staying out of trouble that's for sure" Y/N chuckles softly" yeah... I have" he looked at him" thank you for sharing your rice even though I saw you were kind of annoyed. I'm assuming Oki-San and Ogawa-Chan pressured you into contributing Ishigami-San?" Senku scuffs" call me Senku, Ishigami-San makes me sound old, we are in the same year and that is my dad's name. They did, like I can reject with that big oaf's persistence and I would never hear the end of it either so might as well just do it. Next time bring money in case a jerk ruins your lunch okay? I am not always going to give you my food" Y/N laughed a little" I'll remember from now on, thanks" he opens the soda and drinks it and looked at the stars" they're so bright here" Senku said" this spot rarely gets hit with the streetlights so it makes sense why the stars are darker here. What stars were you looking at? Any constellations?" Y/N looked at the sky" Orion's belt and the Big Dipper since they are easy to spot even in the heavily lighted areas of the city" Senku hums in agreement" well the Big Dipper is easy to spot because it never drops below the horizon. It circles the North Star, Polaris, allowing it to be seen every clear night of the year. As the Earth spins, the Big Dipper appears to rotate around the North Star and while always in the sky, its orientation changes known as a spin depending on the season." Senku looked around and found The Big Dipper" in the Spring it appears high in the sky, right-side up, often described as spring up, for the summer it looks like it is pouring out towards the ground in the evening, in the Autumn it hangs low on the northern horizon in other words it falls down from what some Astronomers describe it and last in Winter it appears to be hanging by its handle from the bowl"Y/N listened to Senku as he explained the Big Dipper without interrupting" wow... You know a lot about space and stars Senku" Senku said" I been studying about it since I was five, I want to go to space, I made a few rockets with the help of Taiju and Yuzuriha, none survived when they hit certain altitude, they would blow up but I wasn't too discourage. With Science it is trial and error" he looked at the young genius" can... I help with a rocket if you plan on making another one?" Senku looked at Y/N and smirks" I could use more muscle power and it seems you want to learn more about science. Alright but don't think I will go easy on you" Y/N laughed a little" of course, I seen you work in the Science club so I know you don't bullshit any thing" the tan and green haired male smirks" ten billion points for you" the two chuckle under the stars.

Everything started with a little mistake from the scientist.
A hickey.
We has in the college's laboratory as usual. Calculations here, messy notes everywhere and mysterious liquids all over the table. It was the normal sight for his friends to see, nothing out of the ordinary.
Senku explained to them his new experiment with strange terminology to all of them, they only nodded pretending to understand his overcomplicated words, when suddenly he turned to show something in the whiteboard and Gen saw it.
"HOLD ON!" He screamed. Every living thing on the lab stopped from working, even Senku completely stunned by the scream. "What's that on your neck?!"
The prodigy of science blinked once and then twice extremely confused, "My neck?". And his hand reached the place of everybody's attention. It was extremely subtle, but his eyes expressed the feeling of being caught.
Gen noticed. "Yeah, your neck Senku-chan" He insisted in the matter with a smile plastered on his face. The others eagerly awaited for Senku's response now that the topic had shifted from something complicated to gossip, and not just any gossip, but Senku's private life kind of gossip.
Senku didn't take his hand away from his neck now that Gen had revealed something he wanted to hide, even though, there was no point in hiding the truth, any excuse would be stupid and tedious, he just wanted to work in his project now.
Senku sighed. "A hickey".
His friends didn't saw that coming. They knew about Senku's bluntness, but they hoped to beg more for that kind of information. Even more thinking that he probably had a couple and never told them.
"What?" Taiju was astonished. And the question everybody had in mind. "You have a girlfriend?"
Senku rolled his eyes. "Yes, I do". He wanted to go back to the scientific discussion, but that was impossible after throwing that bomb on them. Senku wished he had worn something that would have covered his neck, that way he could have avoided this whole new argument.
"Since when?" Gen asked. The mentalist couldn't let this opportunity escape from his hands. It was juicy, sweet as honey, delicious as a Cola gossip. Opportunities like this weren't often after all.
"Doesn't matter"
"Of course it matters, we thought you didn't do relationships" Yuzuriha participated in the discussion. She was also in shock at the thought that there was a girl somewhere who had opened Senku's heart and stayed there. That the scientist let her stay.
"Believe me, I thought that too" Senku said shrugging. "It happens"
"Who is she?" Taiju asked excited.
"When did you met her?" Gen and Yuzuriha were also overjoyed and expectantly to know. This was like discovering that mars has martians. "How long have you two being together?"
The scientist was getting tired of the questions about his partner, but an idea appeared on his head. He smiled smugly to his friends, "If you are all so eager to know, discover it on your own"
All the joyful faces fell apart after hearing that.
"Find out who's my girlfriend"
***
The challenge was more complicated than they expected.
They spent the last two weeks observing the people Senku talked to when he was in his usual classroom, also following him to the casino and to the rooftop.
Nothing.
Two weeks completely wasted.
He was never seen interacting more than necessary with any of the girls in the extracurricular science class. He would simply explain the class and its topics, and then proceed to conduct his experiments with the others. Afterward, he would gather his things and leave. So perhaps she wasn't one of the girls in that class.
So then, who was Senku's girlfriend if she wasn't from that class?
Maybe that was the problem, they thought Senku could only be with someone from the scientific world, but what if she's not from any scientific careers?
What if she's from another class?
The problem was that Senku was with them all this time and there was no one they haven't seen before.
"I'm running out of ideas" Yuzuriha said while drinking her apple juice sat on a bench. "I haven't seen him interact with someone else except from us"
Gen looked at them, "But we can't give up yet, there's someone from this campus that gave Senku-chan a hickey!" He really wanted to know who was inside the scientist's heart. He knew Senku wouldn't lie about his relationship. Sure, he might be evasive on the topic, but he wasn't a liar.
"Yeah, but who?" Yuzuriha really thought about it. Senku's schedule was extremely predictable, precise and always on time, how did they missed something so important as a couple?
"Well, we still can't give up" Gen said. "Let's look at him closely then"
As days passed, they noticed that Senku checked his phone more often than usual. He sent tons of messages when he had free time and sometimes, took pictures, and sent them.
Once Taiju saw a picture of a drawing on Senku's gallery. The drawing was a chibi version of Senku and a girl with a little heart on top of them. Simple but cute. When Taiju talked about it to Yuzuriha and Gen, they thought about it for a long time.
Usually Senku didn't take pictures of his notebooks or drawings. He was practical, he wouldn't have wasted memory on his own notes. And second, a romantic drawing wasn't his style, not even close. So maybe that drawing was yours.
Gen, with his mentalist and psychologist's mindset, assumed you came from the art world after Taiju's discovery. This surprised him. Someone like Senku, a full-time scientist, with the opposite of that was a funny and maybe, just maybe, predictable thing he never thought possible.
But, well... Opposites attract. Or so he'd heard.
They were walking to accompany the prodigy scientist on his personal time he used in the laboratory when they heard someone else's voice with Senku.
"And what's that?" They heard a sweet voice. Your confusion sounded genuine, so they were right to point out you weren't from the scientific world. Gen instructed them to remain silent.
"E=mc2" They heard Senku's calm voice. He sounded relaxed, also focused, but there was a hint of unstrained that he usually hid from them. He almost, almost, sounded soft.
"What does that stand for?"
"It establishes that energy and mass are equivalent and convertible to each other, related by the speed of light squared"
"What does that imply?" They started to think you were like them. You were with Senku, but didn't understood his explanations.
A sighed from Senku. "You really need to pay attention to your classes" Even when he reprimanded you, he sounded calm.
"Why would I?" You laughed. "I have you if I need answers, plus, we can have fun every time you come over my place"
All of them froze in their place after hearing that coming out of your mouth. Now It was completely obvious you were his girlfriend, even Taiju understood that.
"I know you're outside the door" They heard Senku's voice. "Come here"
They entered the classroom and saw you sitting at the desk next to Senku. You were playing with his hair and made no attempt to hide what you said before.
"Who is she?" Yuzuriha asked.
Senku looked at you and then at them. "She's my partner"
"Hi!" You waved your hand with a lot of energy. "Finally I met you all. I told Senku I wanted to met you all, but he refused"
Gen was out of words. If he thought you were Senku's opposite professionally, it was now clear that you were also his opposite in terms of personality.
You were energetic, outgoing and cheerful.
How did you end up paired with Senku?
"Shocking, isn't it?" Senku's satisfaction knew no bounds; he knew his friends would never find you.
"How did you two met?" Gen asked as he could. He was still processing the whole situation.
"Oh, well, I was failing chemistry" You explained while blushing slightly and scratching the back of your neck. "Isn't that funny?"
"Oh, please, not the cheesy phrase" Senku frowned and looked away from all of you. Yuzuriha, Gen and Taiju swore it was the first time they heard Senku saying 'please'.
"It's funny! We found the chemistry between us" You smiled mockingly doing guns with your fingers.
"Stop, just stop" Senku took a deep breath. "Well, this is also the reason I didn't want you all to met"
"So cruel" You said acting hurt.
"It's shocking for me to see you with someone so different" Gen confessed.
"Well, life is boring without these kinds of attributes, isn't it?" Senku shrugged.
Taiju watched you intently. Somehow, you reminded him of someone else. But he simply let the thought fade.
Takes place season 4 part 2 and part 3. Senku x oc Wolf Rain. Wolf is a lycanthrope alien. Lycanthrope can change at will and retain their human intelligence, and possess advanced strength and speed.
Summary: After getting unpetrified, Senku noticed Wolf was not breathing, he really thought she was gone but his brain couldn't accept it and started hallucinate her after 2 years, talking to her like she was next to him but to everyone else he was talking to thin air and it worries everyone.
Guns blasting and explosions were ringing out in the forest, people were separated, it was chaos. Taiju was killed by a bomb in front of Gen, Ryusui was shot multiple times to. Gen waved a white flag but it was shot at. He started freaking out, crying" this is crazy... They are set to kill us all..." Wolf had transformed, bullets inside her from Stanley's men and women when they saw her transforming and thinking she was a monster but the bullets didn't bother her, she was bleeding but ignored it. She tried to save everyone around her but everyone was down even her husband. Wolf saw Senku laying on the ground, bleeding, very weak, blood around his mouth, pale. She hurried over on all fours and whimpers" Senku..." Wolf stared at Xeno and snarls, ears down, raising her hackles at the scientist" this makes no sense! He's your protégé, you two emailed each other when Senku was growing up! And now you had Stanley shoot at him twice!" First time was on the ship when they first came to America and Senku was close to death like he was now. Xeno said" I want to rule the new Stone World using science to create an authoritarian dictatorship. Senku is a dangerous intellectual threat to my absolute control, I want to seize the Kingdom of Science's resources. Now that you show your true form, I want you also. A rare specimen that is not from Earth but from space" Wolf snarls more" I thought Tsukasa's dream for a pure world was barbaric but you take the cake."
Explosions were still happening around them. Senku placed his hand on her paw gently to prevent her from attacking his former mentor, he had just given Suika an order to get under the Medusa Tower, in the middle of it as she was the only one who could still move, Suika had ran off without her helmet that had been broken somewhere earlier; tears falling from her eyes. Stanley came up behind Xeno but did nothing yet, Xeno realized Senku's plan when he saw the green light approaching them fast" I see this is your plan Senku.." Senku weakly laughed" that's right Xeno... You see it now... Humanity might go silent for a few days or months or years... but one way or another be it the cry of an animal or a pearl of thunder... The last revival fluid above that tower will break and rain own on us again..." Wolf held her husband" Senku..." Senku looked at Wolf and gasped out" the... medusa won't work on you Wolf.. since you are not human... Help and protect Suika... I taught you everything since we met the day I broke out the first time... Guide her..."
The light was quickly approaching them, the American Colony and the Kingdom of Science had already become stone. Senku looked at Xeno and laughed weakly" I'll catch you later Xeno... Might be a few days or years... But we will get revived so this is only goodbye until we all meet again.." Wolf cups his cheek gently, stroking her soft paw pad on it, Senku leans into her fur, he never admitted or showed it but he loved snuggling in her warm fur, feeling safe and forgetting about the stone world for awhile" I'll see you soon to Wolf..." Stanley was conflicted as he stood there, his gun in hand while looking at the bodies of the young kids that he and his army shot at and ended their lives. He heard the plan and understood, he could have foiled their plan with a single bullet and destroyed the last revival fluid but that would have ended all of humanity. Stanley could get lucky and shatter the bottle and the liquid would drop on one of his stone allies but also he doesn't believe the one he gets it on are smart enough to make more. He closed his eyes and accepted defeat.
Xeno was amazed as he stared at the green light coming close, it was three thousands years ago that this same light turned everyone on Earth to stone. He had 56 seconds before it reached them the perfect reproducibility. He looked at Senku who was paler with dark bags under his eye now, snuggling in his wife's fur, Xeno said" the fools who ruled the old world were holding me back time and time again. This is our chance to guide by our minds, to set on the right path" Senku smiled weakly even though he was on the brink of death, he still listened to his old mentor" We're alike... We always have been even at our youngest days.." they thought back of their scientific journeys. As kids; kid Senku showed Taiju cool gadgets he made and Xeno thought of his time with Stanly when they were younger to. Xeno was curious as he watched the glow with bliss" what is it that's keeping us from walking the same path?"
Senku grunts" I told you already, it must of been ten years ago, the thought of ruling the world as a dictator doesn't move me a single millimeter, we're way too greedy to settle for that shit. Why would we try to conquer the world as it is when we can craft the world for the future?" With those final words Senku was turned to stone in his wife's arms. Wolf's ears lowered, tears falling" Senku..." Xeno was next to turn to stone, Stanley shed off his armor, tossed his gun away, accepted the beam, lighting one more cigarette" congrats Kingdom of Science" he gets turned to stone. Like what happened three thousand years ago the Earth was covered in the green light and all the humans were turned to stone again, the Earth was now silent once again other than insects and the animals. Wolf closed her eyes as she was now alone, she hid how much bullet wounds she had from Senku and stood strong despite the lack of blood. she lays Senku's statue back and lays down, her right hand on his chest" I'm sorry Senku... Suika..." She knew she wouldn't be able to fulfill Senku's last wish and help Suika but she believed in the little girl to make the revival fluid and wake Senku up, Wolf closed her eyes and stopped breathing along with her heart.
After 3 years, thanks to a Jaguar roaring at the speakers around the tower and a thunder storm the revival fluid bottle broken and dropped on Suika's out stretched hand, she broke out of her stone and gasped out for air, she looked around then at her hands" I broke free! The plan worked! Everyone! Senku! Wolf!" She hurried back to the area where everyone was but frowns when she saw statues everywhere and Wolf laying beside Senku's statue, arm over it protectively. Suika hurried over with difficulty because of her bad eyesight" Wolf..." She touched her her head gently" Wolf...?" Suika felt Wolf's chest but felt no heartbeat, her eyes widen" no..." She hurried to her broken watermelon, pulled out one of the glass lens and hurried to Wolf, she closed one eye and looked at Wolf" so many bullet wounds.... she must of succumbed to her wounds..." Suika's eyes filled with tears" am I the only one left in the world..." Suika looked at Senku's pouches he had on his waist with the glass" Senku doesn't have any revival fluid on him..."
Suika looked around the base but there was no revival fluid any where, she got hungry and went to the food hut but there was nothing so caught fish and cooked them over a fire and then climbed a tree and ate silently" I'm alone now..." tears fell and she looked at the stars and yelled" SOMEBODY WAKE UP AND HELP ME! PLEASE FRANCOIS COOK SOME FOOD FOR ME! WHAT AM I SUPPOSE TO DO?! SENKU! WOLF! I NEED YOUR HELP! KOHAKU PLEASE HUG ME!!" She sobs as big tears fell from her cheeks" I CAN'T DO THIS ON MY OWN!" She curls up and held her poncho" not by myself.. I can't" she sobs.
After the cry she rubs her eyes and sniffles" I'll save them all... All of the Kingdom of Science." She bite her thumb and wrote down the formula that Senku had on his tunic E=Mc2 in her blood on her poncho, staring at the sunset, eyes narrow with determination. Next morning she gathered everyone's statues and stood them up near the rock wall and found the revival fluid recipe in Senku's pouch, she tried all the ways but the only one she could do is the one that involved animal feces. She made a hut out of big and small leaves for Wolf, she didn't have the heart to bury Wolf" this is all I can do for now Wolf... I can't bring myself to bury you..." She covers her face with a cloth she found and prays then left to make the revival fluid to bring Senku back.
Big Time Skip to Suika reviving Senku
'Seven.... Eight.... Nine.... Ten....' crack. Senku's left eye broke out of the stone. Suika said softly" I'm sorry I kept you waiting... For such a long time..." Senku looked at Suika, his face now stone free" kukukuku... I see you made yourself useful..." Suika now all grown up, half her watermelon was now around her neck, her hair was longer with two stands resembling a watermelon stem, her face slightly resembles Kohaku's, her poncho is now a lighter shade with Albert Einstein's formula on it, her shoes were a combination of the ones Senku wears and the villager's shoe wear. Suika asked" I'm guessing you don't recognize me any more.." Senku broke out of his stone fully now, crushing the stone in his right hand, he looked at the red cape that had the formula on it, one hand on it then he looked at Suika and smiled softly" thanks Suika..." Suika sniffles and tears fell as she hugs him, Senku looked at the sky" and it only took you seven years... pretty damn fast.."
After the tearful reunion, Senku looked around at all of Suika's tools inventions she did" all this with Wolf's help," Suika came over" Senku... I was alone on this" his eyes widen" what? I told Wolf to help guide you and teach you how to make the revival fluid since the petrification beam didn't affect her.. where is she?" Suika said" I found her laying beside your statue... I had to get one of my lens from my broken helmet to see why she wasn't moving... she had many bullet wounds on her chest and stomach, I think she succumbed to her wounds after everyone turned to stone, I built her a hut out of leaves since I didn't have tools to make a proper hut when I first found her.. I updated it. She's inside, she never rotted though, never decayed like what you said bodies do after years... She stayed the same as I come and check on her in case she maybe was just conserving her energy since she is an alien and maybe she heals over time but nothing... I placed a cloth over her face since you said the old world did that for the dead before burial..." Suika leads him to the hut and opened the door, Wolf was still in her alien form, laying on her back, hands resting on her stomach, a white cloth over her eyes and muzzle, flowers laid beside her.
Senku walked slowly to his wife and kneels down on one knee and held her hand, he placed two fingers on her wrist but felt nothing, he did believe Suika when she said she was gone but he had to find out for himself" she is dead..." He had asked in the past what would happen if she got hurt badly, Wolf never answered that question; she would either change the subject or they get interrupted and he would be too busy to ask again and he regretted not pushing it. Suika said softly" I place new flowers in the room every month to keep the room smelling good... I'm sorry I couldn't do more, I'm not as good with herbs and medical stuff like Luna-Chan and Ruri-nee," Senku looked at Wolf's covered face and takes it off and cups her furry cheek, stroking it" you did all you could Suika... all we can do is wait now and hope... Wolf never told me much about her healing abilities so even I am at a lost..." He got up and walked out, closing the door" show me all you have and then we'll make revival fluid for everyone" Suika nods, having a feeling Senku needs a distraction right now after seeing his wife's body.
Suika showed Senku her Nitric Acid Farm, she said" the fruit of my labor that took years with many failures along the way to. Senku said" you made your own Nitric farm with animal feces, good job. They used the same method during the Warring States Era in Japan. It does take a stupid amount of time though. You kept working at it slow and steady and in no time, you're granted to make revival fluid" he looked at her with pride" great job" Suika smiled" thank you Senku but I was only able to cook up a single dose which is why it was important to wake you up," Senku smirks" getting your revival priority straight gets you ten billion points" he gave her a thumbs up.
The two headed to the furnace and got to work. After a day he held up one revival fluid. Suika was shocked" IN A SINGLE DAY! IT TOOK ME YEARS TO MAKE ONE BOTTLE! YOUR SCIENCE SKILLS ARE OUT OF THIS WORLD SENKU!" She was so impressed by Senku, even after seven years in stone he still got it. Senku chuckles" I just used a different technique, it's ridiculously fast if you have platinum on your side. Now we need a little alcohol. It should take about a month to ferment" the two got grapes in a large bucket and started stomping on them, Suika smiled, having a blast as she smashed the grapes with Senku.
After eighteen days, the two made eighteen bottles of the revival fluid. Suika went to Kohaku first and dumps it on her face, the stone broke off Kohaku, she sat up and looked at the girl beside her" Suika...?" Suika tears up and hugs Kohaku tightly, Kohaku hugged back and cried to, very happy to see her friend again and being able to hug her after so long. They revived Ryusui and Francois, both giving Suika their gratitude; there were thirteen bottles left; all for the rest of the Kingdom of Science, so one by one they were all covered leaves and vines and de-petrified.
Ryusui looked at the stone statues of the enemies" ha-ha! What to do with our enemies is a topic for another day, for now we keep this revival party going!" Chelsea and Luna were free, crying as they thanked Suika for freeing them, Taiju, Ukyo, Gen, Chrome and Kaseki were next. Kaseki laughed" wooo-hoo-hoo! These creaky bones feel a million Drago!" He jumps around and does some handstands and backsprings" maybe if you petrify me every now and then, this old body would be a fit as a fiddle! I can continue making things until we reach our goal! Soon all of us would be old together!" Chrome thought about that" that would be bad! Maybe we could have revived Kaseki last so he could live a little longer, after all it's not like we can revive him once he is dead right?" Senku didn't say any thing about that.
Senku got on the wall behind Tsukasa and poured the revival fluid on him, Tsukasa broke out of his stone, hearing Chrome's words. Chrome took back his words" we'd never be able to fix the ship and other stuff without our master craftsman" Kaseki laughed" woo-hoo! Sounds like you wiper-snappers are counting on me! So I better stay strong!" Tsukasa looked at the scientist" where's Hyoga?" Senku nods towards the left" he's right there" Suika said" and we have one more for him!" Taiju grins" YES! Let's go! Then all of us will finally be back together!" He looked around then his big smile left his face" wait... Where's Wolf Senku...? Did she get petrified?" Senku's shoulders tensed for a second then relaxed just a bit" no, the light doesn't work on her since she is not human remember Taiju?" Taiju said" oh right.. Then she should be around right? She helped Suika make the first revival fluid to free you,"
Suika looked down" no... She wasn't with me... She was by Senku's statue, on the ground. Many bullet wounds on her chest and stomach, she succumbed to her wounds after everyone turned to stone." Everyone went quiet, Gen said softly" so Wolf's....?" Senku nods" yes.. She's dead" the girls cried, Ukyo and Ryusui took off their paper hats that Suika made to show respect to their fallen comrade. Tsukasa looked at Hyoga" he was dead first before the petrification... dead the longest, you think this will bring him back?" Senku said nothing and poured the fluid over the man with a big leaf covering his face. The cracking was slower than the others but Hyoga did break free and he was alive, Hyoga was disoriented and confused though. Chelsea said teasingly" Hyoga! Hyoga! Hyoga! Say a certain phrase for a moment like this!" Suika pointed out" you mean a thank you? There's no need for him to say it" Chelsea nudged Hyoga playfully" this isn't about gratitude, it's about saying the thing" she winks at him.
Hyoga sighs as Chelsea tilts her head to the right, he said" your work here was proper" Chelsea exclaimed" ha-ha! I love you guys!" Kohaku, Kinro, Ginro, Tsukasa and Hyoga grabbed spears that Suika made and went off to kill some animals to get food for everyone. Senku left to the hut where Wolf was and sits down, looking at her body" don't sleep for too damn long Wolf... I need you to help build a rocket so we can go confront Why-Man, god why didn't you tell me how your body reacts to when you get badly injured? Why do I have to try and guess what your alien body is doing right now..? You know I hate being stuck on something... I have to solve it no matter what but this.... I won't be able to solve it, I don't know about aliens... I never even knew they existed until you came to Earth when I broke out of my petrification..." He heard everyone talking and enjoying being alive again and the battle with Stanly and Xeno were over now and they won. Senku got up" I'll be back okay Wolf..." he kissed the side of her snout and joined the Kingdom of Science around the fire to eat.
Ryusui stood up with cup in hand" ha-ha! Starting tomorrow we'll work our way across the USA, Japan and Treasure Island. No, we'll resume our mission across the whole planet to revive the whole planet but tonight we feast to celebrate this massive victory and to toast to Wolf for being there for us and helping us reach this far. She will be missed" Senku didn't say any thing about her might waking up, he couldn't bring hope about that to the others, he ate his food in silent, glancing at the hut every so often. Suika was so happy to eat with everyone as this is her first meal with others in so long. Chrome noticed Senku's cracks were still there while everyone else's were gone" hey your fancy cracks are still there Senku," Senku rubs one of his cracks on his forehead" the erosion was preserved so it seems like these are staying. Not that I mind, if they did heal I would be naked without them honestly, Wolf also loved them so she would be disappointed if they vanished while she is away." He refused to say she was dead, she had to be just in a deep coma while her body heals itself from the wounds, he read in alien theory books when he was a kid before getting serious with science that aliens go in a deep coma to preserve their body and energy so by even a millimeter that is what Wolf is doing right now.
It was still night when everyone gathered around Xeno's statue, Senku said making a casual-funny look as he poured the bottle" he gets the freshly brewed bottle nineteen" Chrome frowns" are you sure it's wise to revive Dr. Xeno?" Senku said" he worked at NASA, he knows all about rockets and how they are made and what fuel to use. We need his experience," the stone around the man started cracking, Tsukasa said" that is correct and he won't be a problem," Chrome crossed his arms" I guess so, he is too smart to try anything funny with people like you and Kohaku but I wish Wolf was alive... she would have him pinned in seconds" Senku said" it would be more safer with Wolf yes but right now she is in deep coma" Suika said" but I felt her chest... She has no heartbeat and I felt no pulse on her neck," Senku continued staring at his former mentor's statue as it continued cracking" it is a big theory and guess but since her body is different than a human body I can only guess she is like in suspended animation which is she stopped life processes like breathing, heartbeat, pulse, metabolism without causing death. I never really pushed about her alien life, I should of at least asked her what happens to her body if it gets gravely wounded..."
Suika said" I hope she returns... it's not the same without here," Tsukasa said" we can hope and pray to the gods. Also with Stanly still in stone, he should cooperate now," Senku chuckles softly" or maybe humanity's finally evolved past playing with guns and bombs. The old world's rules don't apply, everything is ten billion percent different now." The final crack formed and Xeno was now free from his stone prison and like Senku his petrification X mark remained just not as dark as before, it was now a light outline, Senku told Xeno about the Medusa bringing Hyoga back from the dead or the very least share the theory that petrification defies death itself. Why-Man created not only a weapon that wipes out humanity but also managed to achieve humanity's greatest taboo. The Dr. Stone, our forbidden fruit is able to bring back the dead.
Gen shivers in fear" so... all of us here and any one else revived are walking down the path of immorality..." Xeno got excited: the light of immortality, it is truly elegant, gorgeously depraved science that violates the provenance of nature," Chrome was confused" depraved? That's the wrong kind of bad right? I need to tell the others!" Tsukasa stopped him: the fate of living forever would be tragic, in so many ways it's worse than death." Senku said putting his hands on his hips" we don;t know for sure if Medusa can fight off cellular decay indefinitely" Xeno added" the devices are out of battery, there's no way to run clinical trials in the present," Gen said" it's best if we keep this a secret Chrome, if newbies hear about this then they will try and get the Medusa and then all hell will break lose cause of it. Xeno looked at the dud Medusa" true dominion over life and death, Dr. Stone, any one who can control this science is well positioned to become an absolute dictator," Senku hands Xeno a earpiece earring from Treasure Island that's able to connect to the same frequency to allow Why-Man's message to be heard but when Xeno put it out, it was radio silence.
Senku hums" that nasty command 'do you wanna die' was being transmitted nonstop before our stone nap but now ever since humanity was petrified again, we haven't heard a peep from Why-Man" he points to the moon. Chrome said" we don't know his reason but one thing is clear, he is gonna keep trying to petrify humanity, he won't stop as long as humans continue to walk the Earth," Senku stated, looking at his former mentor" like I told you, we got a whole new set of rules to go along with this new world, so yeah, your dreams of being a tyrant will get you nowhere real fast" Xeno slightly frowns as he took a second to think while looking at the moon, Senku continued" every last human on Earth is immortal now but there's a price. The eventual trade off is a life sentence in Why-Man's stoney prison but I'm guessing that's not what you had in mind" Xeno sighed and looked at his fellow scientist" then I suppose we have a common name, we must journey to the moon to negotiate with Why-Man" and so another Stone World truce/alliance was made.
Everyone gathered Xeno's soldiers, everyone was properly covered, they crowded the man himself, Ryusui said" there are two ways to define Stanley Snyder's action. One that whole assault was a fully justifiable act of warfare or two it was attempted murder" he looked at the other statues" so it all comes down to our testimony. Am I wrong?" Ukyo said" when the time comes to revive him, the world will be up and running again" Gen informed Xeno" I suppose we can all testify it was the first option, that's the card we have to offer you Xeno" everyone looked at Xeno as he looked at Stanley's statue still holding a cigarette that is no longer there, he said nothing as he walked to where old items were stored and since it has not been that long, their items had survived hence why everyone was able to switch out from their leaves to their clothes even though Yuzuriha was not there.
Xeno saw Stanley's armor that held a case Xeno gave him along with matches, he sighs as he admitted" what you'd like in exchange is the full and willing cooperation of NASA's primary expert on all things rocketry. A rather elegant proportion indeed." Xeno picked up the case and matches then walked back to Stanley's statue, looking at it as if Stanley was going to respond, it was clear to the people who can read expressions that the two knew what each other was thinking. Xeno was going to work to not only keep evolution of science going but also to keep Stanley safe and Stanley is perfectly fine being locked in the stone prison to not only pay for what he did but to make sure Xeno can keep doing what he wants to do. Xeno gave the statue a long stair before placing a cigarette in Stanley's parted lips.
After giving the doctor better clothes along with his wrist length white gloves and his metal claws for his ten fingers, it was time to get to work on the rocket, it took ten years or rather over 3700 years for Senku and Xeno to join forces to build a spaceship; the first one in the Stone World" Xeno looked at the hut that he seen Suika go in with flowers" is that where your wife is Senku?" Senku said" yeah... I expect she is in suspended animation; recovering from the bullet wounds in her stomach and chest, she succumbed to her injuries after we were turned into stone" Xeno said" interesting, this is a theory?" Senku nods" I didn't push her when asking about her alien life and abilities so I am at a lost... I did ask her what happens if her body took too much damage and she never gave me an answer, she always changed the subject or we got interrupted, at first I did think she was dead but the sci-fi movies I watched when I was younger and some aliens I watched go in suspended animation to let their body, organs and blood recover and heal" Xeno hums" I see, I'll have Stanley apologize when you deem him ready to be free" Senku nods as he wrote down blueprints of the rockets.
Over the year in a half of making the rocket along with other gadgets they needed to make the rocket, everyone started noticing that Senku sometimes talks softly like another person was beside him, he even stays quiet as if the person was speaking to him and he would respond. The old world people thought Senku was slowly losing it without his wife, Wolf was still in her suspended animation, no signs of waking it, the Kingdom of Science do pray she does as they were getting worried Senku will spiral deep in his delusional of her being alive and beside him, talking. Kohaku watched as Senku was looking at a blue print of a round tank that industrial facilities had to capture and hold the toxic gases from the festering waste barrels, he looked at his right" what? Of course we will be able to make it spherical, you forget we have Kaseki to make the tank. Just watch when we make it okay Pup," Kohaku remembered Wolf telling her Senku started calling her pup after a week of meeting, so she knew Senku was talking to Wolf but in his mind since she can't see or hear her and she was worried for her friend.
After carrying heavy drums of food waste near the ship" this will be the ship's future energy" he opened the lid and everyone but Xeno plugged their nose and complained. Senku smirks as he turned to his left, Wolf was plugging her nose with her hand" a little warning before you opened that! You know my nose is ten times stronger than humans so that is worse to me than you guys" (Wolf speaking will be in italic and bold because only Senku can hear her) Senku laughed" and where's the fun in that if I gave you a warning Wolf?" Everyone stared at Senku as he was laughing at thin air beside him. Gen clears his throat" so how does this work exactly..." Senku looked at the mentalist" this is called bio fuel, any kind of organic waste does the trick, we use leaves, leftover food, even our own homemade poop! Then we gather the gas it emits when it rots" he poured more stuff in the barrel" Wolf gags and covered her nose" Senku please! For all that is holy!" Senku chuckles" kukukuku~ what's the matter Wolf can't handle some rotten food and human feces?" Wolf glared" no I can't ya jackass!" Everyone stared at Senku as he kept looking to his left and talking to thin air, Chrome said" I think he is slowly losing it..." Xeno said" he is grief stricken by Wolf's absence that his mind has created her, we must watch him and make sure he doesn't spiral too far."
That night Senku, Gen and Suika checked the barrel, Gen looked at Senku with nervousness" here's a question Senku... Don't we need to collect this noxious gas? Isn't that the whole point of these festering waste barrels?" Senku said" that's right which is why we're going to build a huge tank for gas storage!" Wolf blinks" like those massive round things at industrial facilities?" Senku smirks at Wolf who was standing on the left of Gen" that's right Pup!" Gen frowns, looking beside him but seeing no one, he thought' Senku's really hallucinating his wife being here... this is really heart breaking' Kaseki started making making the tank in fifteen minutes" the tank's ready!" Gen's eyes went wide" that's it?! But it's not especially round!" Senku smirks, twirling a hose" it doesn't have to be perfect" he jumps on the tank, fills it with water" we fill it up with water-" he tosses a small explosive device inside the water" and cause a nasty explosion inside" he held it the device to Wolf" would you do the honors Pup?" Wolf looked at button and clicks it but in reality Senku actually clicked the button, Suika and Gen look at each other with concern then back at the tank, it made a small explosion and it went jagged to perfectly spherical, Senku smiled proudly" see~ now it's spherical~" Kaseki laughed softly while sipping tea from wherever he got it from. Gen's eyes bulge out of his sockets" SERIOUSLY?! THAT'S HOW THEY USE TO MAKE THOSE ENORMOUS TANKS ARTERY ROUND?!"
Mecha Senku appeared" that's correct" then he disappeareed.
Wolf looked at Gen's open, flabbergasted look" I think you broke him Sen..." Senku wraps his arm around her shoulder" hmm.. I thought he had gotten immune to surprises on how things were made... After all he seen how a phone was made, a tank, a road, a ship, a freezer, cotton candy machine, upgrading the ship to" Suika stared at her mentor that had his arm up and bent like he was wrapping his arm around someone's shoulder and it broke her heart knowing he was coping with not having Wolf by his side since he was so use to her being by his side since they came to the village.
Xeno was in the lab, making a drug that will help Senku with his hallucination, he knew his protégé would hate him for this but Xeno needed Senku in his right mind a hundred percent, him talking to himself thinking he was talking to his wife was hard to watch. Xeno knew the others were worried but they were too good hearted to say any thing to their leader as they were hurting to also they were afraid Senku might snap if they try to reason to him that Wolf was still in her hut not moving and the Wolf he was talking to was in his head, the doctor sighs" forgive me Senku but we need you to focus on the mission..."
It was year 2 of Wolf's animated suspension and Senku was really losing it, his natural spiky hair was now flat against his head, in a half ponytail with string, a bit pale and skinnier than he normally is as he never ate, saying he was too busy making blueprints for the rocket. Whenever he was in his lab he would be talking to Wolf and believes she was talking back to him but to everyone else he was still talking to thin air and now he was expecting the people to talk and bring him food for Wolf. They learned how far Senku had spiraled by Kohaku when she brought one cup and plate of food, Senku turned his head away from the small experiment he was doing and saw only one plate and cup" where's Wolf's" Kohaku blinks" what about her...?" She looked confused, Senku turned his body fully to her" she needs food to," he motions beside him to an empty stool.
Kohaku frowns" Senku.. There is no one there..." He stood up" what do you mean no one is there?! Wolf is sitting right at this stool!" he points to the empty stool, he then looked at the stool" no it's not alright Wolf, you need to eat to!" Kohaku said softly" Senku.. Wolf is not sitting there... She is still in the hut.." Senku yelled at her to get out of the lab, Kohaku had never been scared in her life but this really scared her. She told everyone about Senku, Xeno frowns" he's getting worse... I need to give him this medicine...."
Next morning Xeno mixed the medicine in Senku's water, he made sure to add another plate of food and cup of water for Wolf just so Senku drinks and eats. He carried the tray in the lab knowing Senku was there as he always was in the morning" Senku, I brought you and Wolf breakfast, Kohaku said that she was sorry for upsetting you, she was tired and was not thinking straight," Senku said" we'll need to have Luna look at everyone to make sure no one was getting sick or getting ill" he looked at the empty stool" it's just a precautious, we are soon leaving America and to India as Ryusui has someone there will help up with calculations and coding for the space ship" Senku finishes his food and water, Xeno watched, hoping this helped. After Senku finished his breakfast, he continued working with the illusion of Wolf by his side, Xeno said" we are close to making a rocket engine level 1" Senku said" good, tonight we will test it" Wolf hand me that liquid, yes I know to be careful, why must you be so naggy when you know I always am careful with dangerous liquids" Xeno took the tray away and waited for the medicine to kick in.
The sun was setting when Senku hurried out" everyone!!! Meeting now!" Everyone hurried close to Senku, Suika asked" what's wrong Senku?" Senku said" Wolf's missing!! I can't find her, no matter how much I called for her!" Everyone looked at each other with a somber look. Taiju said softly" Senku... Wolf is still in the hut.. She hasn't moved in two years.." Senku runs his fingers through his hair" no! She was near me! Helping me with my blueprints for the rocket...! Then I blinked and she disappeared!" Xeno walked over" it's because of the drug I made Senku, it helps with hallucinations, I'm sorry but you needed to be focused and not on a fake Wolf that you made from your imagination and grief" Senku looked at his former partner" you drugged me... You gave me medicine so I get cured of my hallucination?!" Xeno nods" that is correct. We need you to be at your best and your head cleared for the rocket," Senku shakes in anger" you had no right.. You.. You took her away from me Xeno..." He takes out a sharp scalpel from his bag, everyone gasped and backed away, this was not the calm and collective Senku they knew, he was now crazy Suika cries" Senku please! Wolf wouldn't want you to hurt us or yourself!" Senku tackled Xeno and straddles him, scalpel at his throat, tears falling, his hand was shaking" give me Wolf back Xeno... Is this revenge for not reviving Stanley? Payback?" Xeno didn't show it but he was actually scared of Senku.
Xeno said" no this is not revenge, this is a concern friend and mentor worrying about you. You may have been in the right state of mind for the science of the rocket construction but mentally you were slowly losing it and if I let it go on any longer, you would stray from the mission and focus more on the hallucination of your wife" Senku's hand shook more, pressing the sharp end to Xeno's neck" you don't know what I am feeling! How much I am suffering without her! She's been the one who keeps me grounded and makes sure I rest, eat, be me... Not just a scientist... a teen that suddenly was the only hope to bring the whole Earth back to life..." His body shook, looking down" give her back... even if she was just in my head... At least she was there..." He looked at his mentor, glaring, tears in his red eyes" give her back" Taiju yelled" Senku!! This isn't you!! Please snap out of it!!" Senku ignored Taiju and raised the scalpel ready to end Xeno's life but his wrist was caught, everyone gasped.
Wolf had woken up from her long Suspended animation coma, she rubs her head and sits up, yawning" wow... that was a long nap... I must of been really injured than I thought," she saw live and dead flowers around her" oh... They must of thought I was really dead.. I need to kick my own tail for not telling them that I go into a deep coma that makes me look and feel dead when I am very injured." She heard commotion outside and Senku's yelling which was rare as he never yelled. She got up and opened the door, still in her lycanthrope form and saw people surrounding two people on the ground, she walked over and saw Senku on top of Xeno holding a scalpel against the scientist's neck and when Senku was about to drive the small sharp tool down Xeno's face, Wolf hurried over and grabbed Senku's small wrist" Senku! What are you doing?!" Senku's eyes widen and looked at Wolf" Wolf..." Wolf stared at Senku with her amber eyes" Senku..." Senku shakes" no... no... You're not real... It's my hallucination again, the drugs must be wearing off..." Kohaku stepped forwards" it's not Senku, we see her now, she is real" Senku drops the scalpel and covered his ears" NO!! WOLF IS DEAD! IT'S BEEN TWO YEARS!!"
Wolf frowns and picks Senku up" I'm really here Sen... I'm sorry for making you wait for so long," Senku touched her furry chest and felt the warmth of the fur and felt her heart beat beating again, his red eyes widen and looked at Wolf" Wolf... You're really here....?" Wolf nods" I am here Senku.. I'm so sorry" Tsukasa helped Xeno up, Xeno brushed the dust off her coat" you missed a lot Wolf. We'll catch you up later. Please take care of Senku for now, he needs you right now" Wolf nods" of course, I am sorry for making you all wait for me. I'll explain later also. I'm taking Senku to the hot springs" Kohaku hurried over with a Hinoki filled with soap, shampoo and small rags" here" Wolf takes it in her big paw while cradling Senku like he was a baby" thanks Kohaku" she left to the hot springs.
Once there she undressed Senku gently, he still didn't want to let go of her fur, afraid if he did, Wolf would disappear again. Wolf gently pries his fingers off her fur and pulled his tunic over his head" this is new seeing your hair down and in a half ponytail Sen" Senku said" I rarely bathed... So most of this is dirty, sweat and humanity... I was really... spiraling..." Wolf helps him in the water and she transforms back into her human form. Her black hair reached the middle of her back with two natural purple highlights on the side bangs, slightly tan" I'm really sorry Senku. It was my fault for not telling you what my alien body does when it gets too many wounds... This was on me" she lets him lean back on her while she washes his hair" why don't you tell me what all you been up to." So Senku told Wolf about Suika reviving after seven years and that the Medusa can defy death, explaining about Hyoga coming back from the dead after being shot multiple times way before Senku activated the Medusa and that they are now making a rocket to blast off to the moon to confront Why-Man. He said" and now Xeno is our ally as he knows more about rocket engineering than I since he worked at NASA. Stanley will stay stone until we are ready for him, Xeno had no objections to that."
Wolf used the Hinoki to dump water on Senku's head to get rid of the suds from his hair" I see, you been very busy while I was asleep. Impressive Suika did that all by herself, you really taught her a lot since we entered the village" Senku said" she did many trial and errors, I praised her on not giving up even though I know she wanted to since she was only 12 years old and alone." Wolf continues cleaning Senku's body. Senku looked down at the water" I missed you... Why didn't you tell me you go into a deep coma that makes you feel and look dead" Wolf sighs" it slipped my mine and with the Stone War going on, we just didn't have enough time and when we do we just get interrupted and it slips my mind again. I am sorry Senku, I didn't mean for you to go on without me for two years." He said" it wasn't easy, I went to the hut that Suika built around you every day, talking to you and explaining the plans like you were going to respond... Then after a year in a half, apparently I was slowly losing it and the others said I was always turning to my left or right and talking as if someone was there... I said pup or your name so they immediately knew I was talking to an imaginary you."
She moved in front of him and cups his cheeks in her hands" I'm sorry Senku... I didn't know I was that injured until after you were turned to stone then I fell to the ground beside you and apologized for breaking your last wish of me helping Suika make the revival fluid" Senku sighs" it's fine... You didn't know you were that injured, But it would of been nice to know that your body shuts down until you are healed" Wolf sighs" yeah, that was my fault" she strokes his wet hair gently" I am here and I won't leave you any more, I promise." He looked at her" you better not, I don't think my mind and heart can take another absence of you." Wolf smiled and kissed him softly, he held her wrists gently and leans into the kiss, A kiss long overdue. She pulled away" I promise to be careful and not get as injured as I was during the battle and no more secrets about my alien abilities, I'll tell you everything while we build the rocket" Senku said" I'll hold you to that" the two smiled softly, enjoying their company after a two year separation, Senku held Wolf as he leans against the rocks and looked up at the crescent moon" this will be our biggest project yet, get excited" he smirks, slowly going back to the way he was; the old Senku. Wolf giggles" I am and can't wait" she looked at the moon to, stroking the back of his hand with her thumb.
After making it official, Y/N was more protective of Senku, he would drop off and pick up Senku at work by car if he were a bit busy with paperwork at his office, he would have his two trusted bodyguard do it for him. Senku tried to assure Y/N he was safe using the bus but the mafia boss didn’t falter, he told him that he wanted Senku to save the money for other stuff than using it for the bus when he had a car he can take.
They had dates but Y/N had his men be nearby in case any enemies of his would surprise attack him while he was out, Y/N was highly guarded for the first five dates, not relaxing and always looking over his shoulders. Senku can understand why Y/N was weary being out and dating as his enemies will put pieces together and know that Senku was Y/N’s lover and they will use that to get him to do whatever they want.
Y/N was having dinner at the restaurant as always Senku was his waiter per his request. Senku dressed in his playboy outfit sets his steak and glass of wine down, smirking” you know you aren’t really being settle about us dating you know” Y/N said as he cuts his steak” I may be cautious of being out with you but I am not going to hide our relationship” Senku puts his hand on his hip” not that I appreciate of the extra security but maybe one date without your men hovering… even in the shadows” Y/N looked at Senku” I need to make sure someone is there so they can take you away from danger if need be” Senku sighs” I get it, you are a mafia boss and you have many enemies that can use me. I knew what I was getting myself into when I agreed to date you but this needs to work both ways to Y/N. Not just you calling the shots without my opinion and thinking I will be alright with it. Some things I will stay silent about but when it comes to spending time with you, I want a few dates of just us without your men nearby even if they aren’t in view also you being just Y/N my boyfriend not Y/N the mafia boss” Y/N looked at Senku and sighs, knowing he was right” alright, alright. You’re right. Next date you choose. It is just us no men around” Senku smiled” thank you Y/N” he gave him a kiss on the cheek and left to wait other tables.
Two nights later after Senku’s shift; Y/N picked him up from work like normal and had the driver drive to a ramen place Senku and his dad always goes when Byakuya is home from astronaut training at NASA in the United States. Y/N got out of the car when it stopped and helped Senku out of the car, he looked around still cautious Senku saw him and sighs" Y/N please calm down and relax, I know you are worried about enemies but please, I just want a good date without you being so uptight and having your men close" Y/N sighs" I'm sorry Senku I just worry as any one who wants to take me down will use you.. I can't bare to know that can happen."
Senku used his other hand to stroke Y/N hand" I know and I understnad but I want one night to have just us, not Y/N the mafia boss, just Y/N L/N" Y/N sighs and kissed the back of Senku's hand" I'm sorry Senku, you're right, you deserve to have a normal date that is just us and no men around us," he leads him inside the shop, Senku smiled softly.
What they didn't see were two men peeking from the corner of a building near the ramen shop, one took out his phone, called someone" we found L/N and it seems he has a boyfriend," the person on the other line said" good, tail them and take the boyfriend, don't harm him," the man nods" yes Boss," he hung up and they waited.
After Y/N and Senku had a nice meal, the car they were in drove off to his apartment, Senku leans against Y/N's shoulder" do you have to go? Can't you stay over?" Y/N smiled softly" I would love to Senku, but I need to go to the warehouse and make sure shipments are prepared to be shipped out," Senku sighs but nods" I understand" Y/N kissed him softly" I'll make it up to you I promise" Senku smiled" i know you will, you never broken promises to me."
The car stopped in front of Senku's apartment, Y/N opened the door and let Senku out. The two shared one last kiss, Y/N said softly" sleep well Sen," Senku smiled" don't stay up too late okay? You tend to do that when you are working," Y/N nods" I'll be sure to get home at a decent amount of time," Senku nods satisfied and went inside his apartment, Y/N closed the door and told the driver to head to the warehouse. Right after Y/N's car pulled away, another black car pulled up, the two men that tailed them got out and hurried up the stairs and saw Senku unlocking his apartment door.
The two men ran over and grabbed him from behind, Senku's eyes widen and tried to fight them but the second man put a rag soaked with Chloroform against his mouth and nose, after eight minutes Senku went limp, the first man drapes him over his shoulder and they head to the car and it drove off to an apartment, they tied his hands behind his back, put a wrapped up cloth in his mouth, the ends tied behind his mouth. The boss smirks at the male" good work, he is a cutie I must admit," he takes a picture of the unconscious male then called Y/N.
Y/N heard his phone and saw it was one of his rival bosses; Akito, he didn't want to answer but something told him to so he did" what do you want Akito? You rarely call me unless you want to rub something in," Akito smirks" I do, I have something precious of yours" Y/N's eyebrow arched" something precious...?" Akito smirks" you think you were being careful but you weren't careful enough," he sent the picture of Senku by text, Y/N heard his phone ding and he moved his phone from his ear and opened the text from Akito and his eyes widen" no..." Y/N puts the phone back to his ear" AKITO!! You're going to regret taking him!!" Akito smirks" come to this address and no weapons or your dear lover will be going home in a body bag" he hung up. Y/N clenched his teeth, shaking" damn it.. I let my guard down for one night." He left the warehouse telling the men to finish with the shipments, he took off his gun holster in the car as he drove to the address Akito sent him through text.
Senku blinks and looked around, he didn’t know what happened, last thing he knew he was opening his door to his apartment then was grabbed then nothing. He moved his arms but felt them being restrained, he turned his head and saw his hands were tied, felt cloth on his tongue. Senku looked around and saw five people in fancy suits. One of the men smirks” he’s awake” Akito went close to Senku, kneeling down and held his chin, looking at him” I admit, Y/N has great taste~” Senku growls lowly, glaring and jerked his chin away from his hold. Akito stood up” shame you will have to watch your lover die here. You are either really stupid or desperate for love; choosing a mafia boss who has enemies that can use you to bring him down” he lights a cigarette and blew out smoke in Senku's face making the young man cough best he could with the gag. Akito smirks” I want to say desperate for love.” Senku just glared at the man wishing that glares could kill.
The door busted open, a male was thrown through the door, he was all bloody. Y/N glared harshly, his knuckles bloody, he had murder in his eyes. Akito smirks at Y/N" ah the special guest has arrived~" Wolf walked in, he saw Senku and went over to him ignoring Akito and takes off the gag" are you alright..?" Senku nods" I'm fine.." Y/N gently cups his cheek" I'm so sorry you got caught up in this.." Senku leans into his touch" it's alright... I knew what I was getting into." Y/N unties Senku" stay here.." He stood up and glared at Akito" you'll pay for taking him Akito. He has nothing to do with my work."
Akito took a drag of his cigarette then blew out the smoke" he has everything to do with you, he is your weakness and you will be brought down thanks to him" Y/N glared" no I won't I can protect him and keep my place as the most fearsome boss in the mafia world," Akito hums" you may think so but you don't know that for certain, you can't predict the future Y/N." He grips his fists" just let Senku go, you have me here, there is no reason for him to be here," Akito chuckles" you think I would let you both go? He knows too much, he'll go to the police,"
Y/N said" he has the right to go to the police as he was kidnapped by a mafia boss they have been after," Akito glared" you would let him call the police and get us all arrested?!" Y/N nods" yes, as long as he is safe from you, I am willing to be put in a cell for him," Akito walked close to Y/N asking" you are willing to go down, destroy all you worked for, for this man?" he points to Senku. Y/N looked at the greenette then at Akito and nods" in a heartbeat, this work is not worth losing the only person that cared about just me as Y/N L/N and not as the fearsome mafia boss,"
Senku clings his shirt where his heart was, blushing lightly at Y/N's confession. Y/N said" let him go," Akito glared" I won't let you and your boy toy ruin things!! Kill them both!" The four henchmen took out guns, Y/N rushed over to Senku, grabbed him and jumps over a sofa as the men fired. A few graze Y/N's cheek and shoulders but he was able to keep the bullets from hitting Senku Y/N growls lowly, teeth showing as he took out a small gun from his sock and peeks from the side and shoots back, getting two in the head, he went back in behind the sofa" I'm sorry Senku... This is my fault" Senku held onto Y/N's sleeve" it's alright... Please stop blaming yourself. These things happen. Even though you were being cautious, they still found out and took me. We couldn't stay hidden forever" Y/N knew Senku was right but he still felt guilty. When the shots stopped, he took this opportunity to carry Senku under his arm and bolt out the door, he heard Akito yelling at the remaining two men to follow him.
The mafia boss pushed open the stairway door and hurried down the stairs since the elevator would take too long, he was calling his driver to come to the address as fast as he can to get Senku" Once outside, hurry to the car, my driver will take you to the hideout. It's too dangerous for you to return to your apartment right now," Senku asked" what about you?" Y/N said" I have to settle things with Akito and make sure he doesn't try this again," He used his shoulder to push open the exit ignoring his injuries and hurried to the car that skidded to a stop, he opened the door and sets Senku down" get in" Senku looked unsure" but Y/N it's three against one..." Y/N smiled" I'll be alright, I promise. This is not my first shoot out, I want you safe."
Senku takes his cheeks in his hands and pulled him down and kissed him deeply" be careful and come back to me alive," he knew Y/N would get more injured but at least he would be alive. Y/N kissed back, arms around Senku's mid section holding him close then he pulled back" I will Senku, I promise," he helped Senku inside the car, he looked at the driver" to the safe house," he trusted his driver to drive Senku safely to the destination. His driver nods" yes Sir," Y/N closed the door then watched the car drive off, Senku looking out the back window, seeing Y/N run back inside the building.
Senku had woken up in the safe house, he asked the man that brought him there if he heard any thing from Y/N and the man shook his head even he was worried about his boss, Senku frowns and looked out the window at the trees as the safe house was located in a forest. They drove for half an hour to get to the safe house. The sun was slowly rising, making the sky slowly light up, Senku tried to eat what the man made for him but he was too worried for Y/N to even eat a lot. Byakuya had called to check up on Senku, Senku knew he had to lie to his dad so he didn't leave from visiting an old friend, two towns over where he was when Senku got kidnapped. If he hears about Senku being kidnapped and being in a shoot out then he might have a literal heart attack and Senku had to avoid that.
Senku was leaning against the wall on the bed, hugging his knees with one hand" yeah Old Man... I'm being careful and Y/N is taking good care of me, making sure I eat home cooked meals and not just ramen and convenient store bought food," Byakuya grins" that's good, I tried your computer but it showed you were offline, were you asleep?" Senku lied" yeah Old Man... I had a rough night at work. You know the usual ignorant assholes.." Byakuya said" I keep telling to leave Senku... It's very dangerous there, Y/N can't always be there so you are alone there," Senku said" I have a few good co-workers that have my back if Y/N isn't at the restaurant. We need the money for your medicine and daily check ups," Byakuya sighs" I know but I do worry about you working there," Senku said" I'm fine Dad..." He really hated worrying his dad.. The man that took him in at age 2 after the death of his parents, he feels like he owes him a lot and he wanted to make sure he has the best care now that he is older, Senku couldn't lose Byakuya right now, despite being 25 he still needs his wisdom, guidance, craziness and parental love.
The door open and Senku's eyes widen when he saw Y/N staggering in, his shirt soaked with blood. Senku said tried to keep calm not wanting Byakuya to suspect any thing wrong" I have to go Dad. Y/N just walked in with groceries," Byakuya said cheerfully" alright Senku. I'll be home tomorrow night, maybe we three can get ramen!" Senku said a bit fast" sounds great Dad, we'll see if you aren't too tired after the train ride" Byakuya said" I love you Senku," Senku said" love you to Old Man," he hangs up and hurried to Y/N" you had me worried sick! It's been 10 hours since I came here and your worker and I heard nothing from you!" Y/N sighs" I'm sorry Senku.. He broke my phone. He didn't want he to contact my men for backup. I hurried as fast as I could here," Y/N sits on the bed and held his injured arm.
Senku called the man for the medical kit, Senku sits beside Y/N and helped him take off his ruined shirt, Senku's eyes watered seeing Y/N hurt like this" Y/N..." Y/N said" nothing fatal.. No bullets in my body either," the man came in the room and sets the medical kit down and Senku started treating Y/N's injures. The man asked" is Akito dead Sir?" Y/N nods" yes he is dead but we still have to be cautious, he might have trained a successor to take over his territory, have some men go and investigate the others clean Senku's apartment if it needs it, we can't have Byakuya find out what took place in the apartment." The man bows and left to rely the orders to the others.
Y/N winced but didn't move while Senku cleaned his wounds and disinfected them Senku said" he's coming home tomorrow night, we have time," Y/N said" that's good, it means we have time to make sure no one in the complex seen or heard any thing that day," Senku said as he wraps Y/N's arm" doubt it, people mind their own businesses there so even if they heard or seen any thing they won't report it." Y/N jokingly" how neighborly" Senku chuckles softly" yeah... Not really the people you can or should rely on.. I'm so relieved you survived Y/N," the mafia boss sighs tiredly" it was a close call I admit... But I pulled through because I made a promise" he smiled at Senku and kissed the young man deeply," Senku kissed back, arms loosely around his neck" I'm pleased you kept it," Y/N smiled" I love you Senku, I'm sorry again for all this.."
Senku shakes his head" don't be sorry Y/N. I wanted you to loosen up and not be so tense and keep your bodyguards away. Even though the date ended in me getting kidnapped I really enjoyed our time eating ramen and talking. A proper date" Y/N said" I promise that there will be more proper and great dates you'll love and it will end perfect. It will be just us, no bodyguards around, just us" Senku smiled" I know Y/N you never have broken promises," after Senku finished tending to Y/N's wounds they shared a passionate kiss.
