''Chemistry!"

Disclaimer: I don't own Love Live or anything involving anime. T_T


''I've finally done it!", a woman said as she raises a beaker with red smoke fuming out of it. It was 2 hours until Valentines Day officially started and she was determined that she has finally found the solution to her problems.

Her single days are finally over as she stare in awe her greatest achievement contained in that see-through beaker. ''After years of research and experimenting, I, Nishikino Maki have developed a chemical substance that'll make any girl fall in love with me!'' she shouted to no one in particular.

She places down the beaker, and started preparing iced tea. She has been planning this day ever since she graduated college, everybody expected her to be a doctor and to be the heir to her family's hospital but due to certain circumstances, she has been forced to become a chemist because of her parents' worry over their daughter due to possible security compromises.

Of course, being the heir to the family hospital has placed her in a certain risk of being targeted by criminals or even certain people who have a grudge against the Nishikino family and therefore her family decided that she become a chemist.

During her high school years, she has developed a crush on a certain energetic ginger who seemed to be very oblivious about her feelings towards her, not that she cared or anything, but those feelings did not waver over the years as they kept in touch through different types of communication but they would mostly do it by text as it is the simplest way to do so. As their relations with one another improved and grew it did not help with her confession of what she felt to Honoka, it only made her more scared to do so as she didn't want to possibly taint the friendship they had, but she didn't want things to stay the same also. She yearned for Honoka, to be by her side,to be the girl to walk down the aisle with her during their wedding, To be the girl whom she calls her wife.

After preparing the iced tea, she commenced preparations for phase 2 of her plan.

She poured some of the contents of the iced tea in a jug that she carried over to the laboratory. She took out her handbag and stuffed her hand in it and began shuffling it. God, i need to organize. She took out a smartphone from the mess of a handbag and swiped the screen. She then called Honoka which was on her speed dial list for "emergency" reasons.

The phone continued to ring as Maki's patience began to wear thin. How is she taking this long!? she thought. It was probably the longest wait of her life for her at least, as the recipient finally answered her phone. Finally...

"Hello?" an unsure voice was the very first thing Maki heard but to her that voice was as angelic as the angels above singing songs of praise to whatever God they're praising.

"Hey, Honoka." Maki answered quickly not wanting to show the nervousness.

"Hey Maki! Long time no.. call? I guess? Ehehe." Honoka answered quite sarcastically but it didn't matter to the redhead. It was actually quite a while since they actually heard each others' voice due to busy schedules and what not, and to the chemist that was like not having her favorite tomatoes for lunch.

"Listen, Honoka" Maki answered sternly. "I...I was wond-ering.." but as she spoke furthermore, her stuttering became noticeable as she began to lose confidence.

"Wondering about what?" Honoka asked curiously her voice showing pure interest in what the redhead had to say.

"If... you'd like to meet up sometime?" Maki said as she slowed down her breathing, she's not gonna let her nervousness get in the way of her plan, she will succeed and she'll do anything in her power to do so.

"Sure! Just text me the details, the line's piling up already." Honoka said much to the disappointment of the redhead, she wanted to at least catch up on things with Honoka but most importantly hear her the voice she utterly craves to hear.

"Oh I see" Maki said not even trying to mask the disappointment.

"No worries! I'll call you back after a while." After that hearing that, the depressive aura surrounding Maki disappeared into nothing but thin air. "I'll talk to you later." Honoka said as she ended the call.

Maki quickly shoved the smartphone back into her handbag proceeded out of the laboratory. "Phase 2 complete." she says to herself as she left her laboratory and proceeded with Phase 3 of her plan.


A/N: Heyoooo! Wow! It's been a while since I've published something. This will be a multi-chapter story most probably 3-4 chapters long with a possible sequel. Anyways, A lot of people have been asking about my other work "Clouds of Depression". No need to worry, It's not cancelled. I would rather call it "Developing" because I've noticed that the story isn't really progressing the way I wanted it to be so for now, I'm thinking of a way to put the story back on track and agendas in school are never helpful at that. Also, if you look at my profile. It says something about a story called "Torn Passion". It's actually a script I wrote for English (It got the highest score in the grade level btw) It's a script that I'm trying to rewrite as a story, but It's taking me a while especially with "Clouds of Depression" being a main priority. Regardless, I would like to thank the people who are still concerned about the story, and to the followers of it. No worries, I always finish whatever I started. (Unless I die doing so)

Anyways, Please rate and review they're highly appreciated and please point out aspects where I can improve in (I'm guessing the dialogue of the characters because I suck at that) Anyways I hope you enjoy and stay awesome! :)
