Senku Ishigami

Senku Ishigami dating his scientist mentor Xeno's adopted son. That already sounded like a cruel joke of fate. The worst part was that the relationship worked wonderfully, even with half a planet between them and Stanley grumbling every time he heard your name in the same sentence as "Senku. "

It all started innocently enough: Xeno passed on a science problem that even Senku couldn't solve. At first, it was just messages, then calls with explanations that stretched into the early hours, then video calls where they talked not only about science but about anything and everything. At some point, amidst hypotheses and formulas, it became clear: they were more than just virtual friends.

When you asked for permission to travel to Japan for Senku's birthday, Stanley gave a firm no. But Xeno, with a sly smile, intervened to give you a chance, and with that, permission was granted.

Now you were in Japan. The house was quiet, Byakuya wasn't there, and Senku greeted you as if it were the most natural thing in the world that you'd crossed the planet to see him. You'd barely set your suitcase aside when he was already sitting with his notebooks open on his bedroom table. And after a few hours, you were both lost in your work and the data you'd gathered. Until finally, he sighed and put his notebook down.

"It was a little surprising that they let you come all the way here just for my birthday," he murmured with a half-smile. "Hmph… to think this started with a simple message. Now you're sitting in my house… that's 10 billion percent interesting."

At times it seemed like always, as if they were still on a regular video call. But the difference was in the details: the way Senku passed closer to you than necessary, the coffee you shared from the same cup because he 'wasn't going to waste time washing another one,' and that spark of pride in his eyes when he heard you talk, in person, about anything you were passionate about.
