I do not own any of these characters that appear in the story, the concept of the story or Steins;Gate! This is just a fanfiction and should not be taken seriously!
"Huh? Nobody's here to pick me up?", Kurisu asked while adjusting her backpack, "Oh go to hell, Okabe. Can't even pick his girlfriend up...". She sighed and continued to walk through the airport, dragging her heavy brown suitcase behind her. "If only at least Urushibara had come... Or even Hashida. I would've been so much more happy if anyone came", Kurisu uttered, before leaving the airport. Outside, she stuck her hand into her khaki jacket and pulled her phone out, while mumbling, "Now. Where to?". Kurisu stopped walking and stared at the street in front of her. "The lab? Or the hotel?". Kurisu suddenly felt the redness spread across her face, as she said, a bit embarassed, "Definitely the hotel. Nobody picked me up, so why should I care. I'll just wait until they message me". She turned to the right and started walking toward the hotel that she was going to stay at for the next weeks. After arriving at the hotel and checking in, Kurisu deciced that she was 'obligated' to go to the lab, since she was a lab member. Secretly she just wanted to see Okabe's face again and hear his voice, not over a phone.
"Hello? Can I come in?", asked Kurisu, standing at the doorway and peaking into the lab. But Kurisu didn't see the typical lab coated man. In fact, the lab seemed weirdly empty and lonely. The only person in the lab was..., "Hashida?". "Makise?". Daru turned from his computer and looked at Kurisu in surprise. Daru had somehow hoped that Okarin was with her. It seemed like he wasn't. "Where's Okabe?", Kurisu asked a bit flushed. "And why did nobody pick me up", she added, a bit annoyed. "Well Okabe hasn't come to the lab since yesterday. He just randomly asked about Mayuri and then ran off", Daru said a bit sad and looked back to his computer screen. "And would you really want me, to pick you up?". Then Kurisu frowned. "You're right, (pervert). I'll go look for Okabe", Kurisu said while already turning around to leave. But before Kurisu could leave, Daru had said,"Y'know I heard that". "Bye", Kurisu plainly stated, shaken up, and left the lab without further thoughts about Daru.
"Where could Okabe be...", Kurisu mumbled, feeling the setting evening sun's warmth hit her face. "I know. I'll just ask Urushibara or Ferris. I hope, this isn't one of his Reading Steiner overloads, because if it is, then this is serio-". Kurisu stopped, as she saw Okarin walking on the other side of the road with his hands in his lab coat pockets, looking sad and glum. Kurisu, a bit surprised at seeing Okarin, started yelling and waving her hands, "Okabe! I was looking for you everywhere!". He averted his gaze to Kurisu, giving her a sad smile, and then just kept on walking. "Hey! Don't just leave!", she yelled across the street first noticing now that she caught the attention of a lot of passengers. "I'm sorry", she mumbled and started following Okarin by speed walking, trying to cross to the other side of the road as soon as she could. But as she approached the stoplight to cross to the other side, Okarin disappeared. "Why?", she said and gave a sad smile, "Why are you avoiding me?". Then a single tear had managed to escape Kurisu's eye and flowed down to her chin. "Why are you crying, Christina". Kurisu looked up to see Okarin mockingly smiling at her. "You idiot!", Kurisu yelled while turning away from him and crossing her arms, "You didn't even bother to pick me up". "It was Steins; Gates choice", he defended himself, still looking at Kurisu. Then he suddenly blushed and got something out of his pocket. While holding his phone to his ear he talked into the phone, "I have got the package to deliver to lab member 004, aka Christina, aka the assistant, aka the zombie, aka the-". "Would you just shut up for once", Kurisu interrupted Okarins phone call to himself. Then she looked at what was in his hand and she blushed herself. "W-what is that, Okabe", she said pointing at the black rectangular box he was holding. Then Okarin blushed and stuttered, "I-It's not L-like that", and dropped his phone in the process. "Y-You're not g-going to give that to me, r-right?", she stuttered as well turning away because she was so embarrassed. Suddenly Okarin's phone started buzzing. So Okarin bent down and answered the call. "Yes, here's Hououin Kyo-, ouh. Hi", Okarin started. "The assistant is with me, why?", he answered the question of the person on the other side of the line. Kurisu turned around and glared at Okarin. "Why not? - Ouh, okay. I'll be right there", Okarin sighed. "See Ya". Then Okarin put his phone away and looked at Kurisu. "I have to go. Bye Christina", Okarin said and then ran off. "Wait!", Kurisu yelled, but when she started to run after Okarin, he already disappeared in the crowd.
By the time Kurisu had managed it back to the hotel it was already dark and the moon was already shining brightly. "What a day", she sighed in her room and started to change to her pajamas. "Why did Okabe act so weird?", she asked staring at herself on the mirror. "If only he would tell people how he feels. Yet he doesn't", Kurisu mumbled and sighed. "Why is he so difficult", Kurisu half yelled and turned away from the mirror. "It must be this god damn Reading Steiner, that's making him so full of himself", Kurisu said frustrated and messed up her hair. "Why can't everything just be normal", she questioned as she climbed into her bed.
"But then again. If everything would be normal, I wouldn't be here".
