Pectoral is a collection of drabbles and oneshots with titles identical to Coldplay song titles. The plots don't all have the same meaning or contents as the songs the titles were taken from, so let's put the confusion aside. [:

01. Hotaru works in her lab, annoyed at Ruka who is endlessly asking her questions. But will she manage to hide a smile when he charms her with words?


Pectoral
First Tune: The Scientist


"Do you ever consider yourself a scientist?" Ruka asked, walking around Hotaru's lab. "I mean, you're smart, you have a lab, you invent stuff…"

"No," Hotaru answered.

"What are you doing?" Ruka asked again, ignoring his being ignored.

"Repairing my duck scooter," Hotaru replied. "I accidentally ran into Amanatsu with it," she continued, wiping her forehead with the back of her glove. "Which reminds me, I have to fix her as well."

"What's this?" Ruka asked, picking up an item from Hotaru's desk.

"What's with all your questions?" She asked back.

Ruka stayed silent.

"It's ammo for my baka gun," she finally answered. "Don't you recognize it? It hits Mikan on the head practically everyday," Hotaru continued, not looking up from what she was working on.

"Nah," Ruka put it back where he found it. "I'm always too busy looking at the attacker to be paying any attention to her victim."

"Shut up," Hotaru turned away to hide her small smile.

End.


Author's Notes: This is actually the fourth Coldplay drabble I've made. The first three (Shiver, Strawberry Swing, and Speed of Sound) can be found in the Troller Skates account—a fanfiction account which is a collaboration of different authors. Do take a look at our works. [:
