The Beauty and the Scientist: Drabble Style!
Drabble One: Grabbing
"FRANKEN! Put me down NOW! This is undignified, not to mention embarrass -woah!"
I yelped like that because Franken had made a sharp turn. He was completely ignoring me. I mean I used to have a crush on the guy, but this was embarrassing! More so than my tendency to get lost in a building I knew for years. Stein and Sid both have been sent to find me, and this was one of those times Stein had found me. He had just mutely gave me a look, as if he was annoyed to be here yet again. I had tried stuttering an explanation, but ended up just as tongue tied around him as I had been as a kid. A second later, I had found myself hoisted up onto his shoulder.
And here we were, me with a nice view of Franken's toned tush- and him with a similar view of me. I blushed at the thought. Luckily, my Franken wasn't the pervert Spirit was. He wouldn't grab me there... Or would he? I squeaked as my thoughts flustered me further. Okay, you aren't so good at talking to yourself, I lectured, so talk to Stein.
"Why are you carrying me?"
An irritated mumble was all I got. Scowling, I tried again, repeating myself.
"Because you get lost when you walk. You've always got that blonde head of yours in the clouds, so I have to make sure you get where you're intending to go."
"Uh... Franken..."
"What?"
"YOU don't know where I'm going."
"... Your classroom, Marie," he reminded, with an oddly kind note in his voice.
"Ooops. Did I tell you that?"
"I'm taking a guess since you were headed in the opposite direction of it."
"..."
I blushed bright red in embarrassment, and hung my head. Or I would have, had it not bumped me into Stein's back. I shot up with a pained squeal, my nose feeling squished.
He set me back upon my feet, with a somewhat worried, "Marie?"
Franken looked at me intently, although I could discern no more behind those dratted glasses he now wore. It was especially hard to read faces with one eye- you had a hard time taking all of them in sometimes. I looked at him hard as well, but was unable to discern much with those glass walls hiding his eyes.
He sighed, "Good. Your nose doesn't need setting... You were lucky you didn't bump into the metal bits in there."
He spoke about his own body... Like it was an experiment. Then again, to him, everything seemed like one big experiment.
"M-metal bits?"
I must have looked scared, because Stein twisted his screw clockwise a few times- a nervous habit.
"Yeah..." Now he was the one looking slightly embarrassed. "Some self-experimentation went... Awry. Had to replace the bone with metal."
I sighed unhappily, "I'm not gonna pry..."
I started off in what I thought was the right direction to my classroom. I was soon set straight when Stein grabbed me again, and set me in the opposite direction.
"Your classroom is THAT way, Marie."
I grinned sheepishly, "What would I do without you to set me straight, Stein?"
"You'd be lost a lot."
I blushed as we walked along in silence.
...
When we at last reached my classroom, I smiled brightly up at the taller man, "Thanks for accompanying me here. I know it's not my first day and all, but still... You know me... I get lost a bunch and am really happy to have somebody who'll set me- mmm!"
The reason I got cut off was that Stein had abruptly swooped down and grabbed me close, kissing me fiercely. The door had shuttled open abruptly, and now students were goggling at the scientist kissing their teacher.
Somehow, I couldn't bring myself to care.
He broke contact with my lips only once. And it was to say, "You talk too much, Marie..."
At that, I had to grab his glasses off so I could see his eyes. They were the most expressive feature he had besides his mouth, and I missed seeing them. They were green, so unlike the rest of him. But even they had a gray cast some days- like when he was slipping. I was glad to see them again without those darned glasses though. He squinted a little bit without them, and tried to get them back. I got my hand out of his range, and captured his lips once more. He made a sound of satisfaction and kissed back.
For right now, we were the only two in the world.
I thought this would be a sweet drabble for me to post :3 This couple does NOT have enough fluff in this fandom! Thank NthDegree for her amazing beta job, and my first beta'd fic in this fandom!
