I came up with this fic while writing my other story about Steins:Gate Androgynous Love Paranoia. However, unlike the previous, this one will focus entirely on romance and beautiful fluff, do not expect a deep plot or anything. This will be a 100% ship fic, with one of my favorite Steins;Gate´s couples: Okabe x Faris.
Things you should know before start reading:
1 - To ensure the fluff, this story takes place in one of the world lines of the Delta Attractor Field (Divergence 3 - 3.99%), where SERN is not a threat, and Tennouji, aka Mr. Braun, and Moeka are normal people with also normal lives and jobs.
2 - As the description indicates, in this story Okabe is a girl. Specifically born under the name of Okabe Rina. Why...? BECAUSE! In this link you can see an illustration of what she would looks like: erintesden DOT deviantart DOT com/art/Okarin-765404224
3 - Despite being inspire on my previous story. I have to clarify that there is no connection between both of them, so it is not necessary to read Androgynous Love Paranoia to understand this one.
Anyway, I hope you like it.
Romantical Schrodinger Box.
Prologue.
A girl's first date is usually a very important event in their lives.
And even if it not results perfect, it should at least be fun... Or at least not a complete disaster.
"Let's go eat MayQueen Nyan-Nyan, Okarin!"
...So it was obvious why Okabe Rina was frankly speechless and wondering why Daru, the perverted bastard she had as friend, was inviting her out to eat.
Maybe his lusty otaku brain had finally melted.
Or maybe he had stopped caring about his own life, and wanted to make her angry so she would end his misery.
It was working.
"Stop looking at me like that, Okarin, I didn't mean it like that." Said the boy scared.
"Then how?" Rina asked, frowning.
"It's about Faris-tan!" Exclaimed Daru with a serious expression.
Faris Nyan-Nyan, the Maid Queen of Akiba. And worker on the maid cafe MayQueen Nyan-Nyan.
Rina had heard so much about her, even though she still had no face to match the name with.
On one hand, Faris seemed to be Daru's waifu, his obsession, his unrequited love, pick anyone.
It would be simply disgusting if Rina didn't know the Otaku so well.
Actually around one year ago, despite being a pervert, Daru didn't show that much interest in 3D Girls. Then one day he decided to visit the maid cafe he had heard so much about, MayQueen, and caput; the Legend of the Powerful Wizard who only liked 2D Girls fell into oblivion. Daru infatuated with Faris completely.
Her mental image of the maid wasn't exactly good at that time, but then somehow Mayuri ended up being hired at MayQueen and started working with Faris.
Since then Mayuri, her clumsy but dear childhood friend, didn't stop mentioning all the time how kind and great Faris was. Talking about her as if she were her older sister.
So Rina had to accept that her opinion of the maid was wrong. After all, clumsy and naive or not, Mayuri was actually relatively good at judging people. That didn't stop the slight discomfort and jealousy she felt at knowing how much Mayuri seemed to appreciate Faris. Almost feeling as if the maid wanted to replace her as the person closest to Mayuri.
"What about Faris?" Rina asked Daru, already in a bad mood.
"Huh, you knew that Faris-tan is Akiba's Rai-Net Champion, right, Okarin?"
She didn't answer. Of course she already knew.
It was because of this that Daru had decided to learn to play the cards game with the sole purpose of trying to impress Faris. And meanwhile, Mayuri had become a great fan of the anime, obsessing over the merchandising in the process. So in that way, Rina ended strongly associating the franchise with Faris, and began to consider it childish and annoying despite not having even seen the anime nor played the game before...
In the end, that was just another piece of the huge puzzle that was Faris Nyan-Nyan. But a piece that only complicated things...
There was a Faris who appealed her fat friend perverted tastes.
A Faris who seemed to be a wonderful sempai and was extremely loved by Mayuri.
And a Faris that was a cards game champion and had already defended her title multiple times.
How was Rina supposed to accept that those three and so different girls were actually the same person. It didn't make sense, and the worst was that it wasn't everything yet...
"Well..." Daru decided to continue after Rina didn't say anything else. "This year's Rai-Net Championship is next week, and I had the intention of attending as a spectator to support Faris-tan, but by the time I went to buy my ticket, it turns out they had already run out." The Otaku lowered his head, totally desolate.
"What a sad story, I almost cried." She said deadpanned and crossed her arms. "But what does that have to do with me?"
"It turns out that MayQueen is raffling a couple of tickets, the only requirement to participate in the raffle is to go to MayQueen with someone and buy the new dish for couples."
"Why not invite Mayuri?" Rina questioned him immediately, totally disturbed by the image of Daru and her in something so similar to a date. She almost felt guilty for involving Mayuri, but she was the obvious best solution. Mayuri was prettier, kinder, and innocent enough to not refuse Daru's offer. In fact, being about free food, she would be happy to accept.
"I've already tried." He said depressed. "Faris-tan said we wouldn't be able to participate in the raffle because Mayuri was an employee in MayQueen, she said it wouldn't be fair if an employee were to win tickets... Come on, Okarin! I'll buy you whatever you want! "
Rina began to ignore Daru's verbiage and sighed. Finally, there it was. One of the most complicated things about Faris: Her status in MayQueen.
At first Rina had assumed Faris was a senior and more experienced maid than Mayuri. Just a sempai.
Rina was wrong.
Faris wasn't just a senior maid, she was THE senior maid; basically the maid in chief, having worked in MayQueen since its very opening.
And that was the truth, but only half of it.
It took Rina a while to understand and accept it, but Faris wasn't just the maid in chief. She was the actual boss. MayQueen's owner and manager, and a fairly good one apparently. It wouldn't be that great if it weren't for the fact that Faris was apparently a year younger than Rina.
In that way, Rina's worst fear at the idea of visiting MayQueen was to not know what version of Faris she would actually meet in there. Or would it end up being a completely different Faris from the ones she already knew about?
It almost seemed as if finding the Organization hideout would be easier than understanding what kind of person Faris really was.
"So, Okarin, what do you say?" Daru asked.
"It's fine." She was going to regret that decision. She was totally sure, but she was also really curious.
Faris sneezed, emitting a small and adorable sound, while covering her nose and mouth with a handkerchief.
"Are you okay, Faris-chan?" Asked one of the maids on duty.
Faris nodded. "I'm fine, Ai-chan, thank you." She said slightly dizzy.
She had been sneezing a lot since a while ago. Apparently someone was talking about her.
Maybe it was some brave but kind rebel noble from the Overlord's Dominion, looking for a Mistress to serve for the rest of their lives. Surely her soul mate from another life...
At least, that was what the prediction of her horoscope in the newspaper entailed.
Apparently, she would meet a person she had heard about many times before from her friends. And in this person she would know love.
I hope you liked it. Leave your criticisms and questions in the reviews.
