With a pout and a throw, the empty frying pan hit Stein right in his face, leaving a red mark and knocking him off his desk chair. He laughed at his own pain, an attempt to bring light to the not dreary but violent situation, while Marie stood in the kitchen with her hands on her hips.

In her mind, Stein was never an insane man that would cut her open at the first chance (he would, be sure of that), just a jerk. Or at least right now; sometimes he's nice, but only when he forces himself to be. Because he doesn't like it when people run away screaming from him every time he walks down the street. Only sometimes.

Marie rubs her head, wondering how she always gets stuck with all the weird ones, and returns to cooking, not even remembering what she was angry at the man about. But Stein does.

He stands up, places the pan on a nearby shelf, and walks into the kitchen behind the angry Marie.

"Really, Marie," he states, she doesn't bother to turn around and face him. "I didn't mean to be offensive. I just was questioning the point of wearing an apron was, if it just prevents your clothing from getting food on them. If you ask me, if you're so worried about that, you should just not wear clothing while cooking."

She turns around to face him, looking very agitated and holding up her hammer-transformed fist.

"Stein… You pervert."

When he regains his consciousness, the scientist tries to figure out why his weapon had hit him (again), even though he just had been voicing his thoughts. He pauses to think for a few seconds, before drawing the only unavoidable conclusion. Even though she was a very educated and somewhat logical person, sometimes Marie just doesn't make sense. Stein sighs at his thoughts. Marie should spend less time fixing his faults and start working on her own.

Stein voices his thoughts outloud a second time to the busy Marie in the kitchen, and she hits him a third time, this time with a mock-Maka Chop. Marie just never learns, does she?

If you ask me, this doesn't end correctly. It should have the right feeling, BUT IT DOEN'T HAVE IT. I WOULD CURSE NOW BUT I MUST KEEP THIS AS A K… On the bright side, Stein's so cute when he's clueless… And Marie is unnecessarily violent. But she's cute, too. They both are. Especially together less than three. Please review, the demons in my head are going to make me write a song fic if you don't! AND I DON'T LIKE THE SONGS THAT YOU DO. DUN DUN DUN. And even if you like my songs, please review anyway. THE DEMON HAS A GUN; SEND HELP.
