I wanted to try writing about stein and how he would spend his Valentines day~

Chapter 4 – Stein wants some Valentine fun.

Marie smiled as she entered Stein's room.

He was a lot nicer and kinder now that Medusa and all the other villains were gone. She rubbed her swollen stomach once again when her baby started to kick.

"Ack… Being a mother is so hard. I should have married that toilet." she joked.

"Oh whatever." She took out her keys and unlocked the door.

"Hey Stein." she called out softly.

"Stein?" The room was dark… but there were little lights that seemed to welcome her.

Come, follow me, The lights seemed to say.

So she did.

And off they were, she, picking up all the little lights.

Finally the lights stopped at the basement door. Marie gulped. This was actually a little scary, even when she had switched on all the lights.

"Stein!" She called sharply. "Get up here, please!"

She heard a painful groan come from behind the door. Her face went white. Supposedly he had grown tired of dissecting frogs and extinct animals and had started to-

No, it was impossible. He was sane-

He was sane, she was sure he was sane-

But could it be that-

No. Medusa was dead. She was dead.

There was another painful moan from the basement, and Marie decided that she couldn't wait anymore. She flung open the door and ran down the steps. The room was dark, and the painful shrieks seemed to come from a dark, dark corner.

She trembled slightly and switched on the lights.

On the other side of the room was a radio of some sort. Sounds were coming from it. The screams. Now that she noticed, they had all sounded the same.

"Stein!" she screamed frustratingly.

"Yes Marie?" And suddenly Stein was behind her. She turned around, about to give him another lecture when she noticed something odd.

"Hey Stein you're-AHH!"

Most people would have noticed this already, but since Marie was being a little slow today, she didn't notice was the fact that Stein's head was currently held in his hand. There was no head on his neck.

"S-S-St-St-" She fainted.

"Happy Valentine's Day~" Stein smiled.

There was no answer for she was already unconscious.

"Oh…" He frowned. "She didn't get it."

"Oh well."

He threw away the papier-mâché head that he had made, and stood up properly. His head was actually down and his shirt was actually pushed higher to hide the hairs on his head.

So he was actually quite alive.

Of course, he had planned something more spectacular but he didn't know that Marie had come back home so soon, so in the end everything had to be cut short.

Oh well.

Ah… Marie looks so calm in this state. I wonder if she'll mind if I disse…

I have to stop thinking about that sometimes.

You have a child to take care of Stein. You idiot.

"You don't really have to take care of the child."

Stein spun around. There stood Medusa, in her nurse outfit.

"What are you doing here?" Stein said calmly. Inside his head he was frantically shouting at himself.

Don't give in to the madness.

Don't don't do do it

Stay calm and peaceful it's just a hallu

Just stop it's not real

"Oh dearest, but it is real." She stood up and caressed his cheek. Stein was about to slap her when he realized that her hand was warm. Alive?

"You're not-" he choked.

"But I am Stein." She whined. "Stop pretending that you don't know I still exist. And I love you more than she ever will." Medusa pointed to the sleeping figure on the floor. Marie.

"Oh, and lovely trick by the way. Though someone as smart as me would never fall for such a silly trick like that. Really, how stupid is she?"

Stein closed his eyes, trying to calm himself down.

Yes… Such a stupid woman.

She doesn't deserve to bear my children.

But someone as smart as Medusa-

I think-

I-

Stein shook his head. What was he thinking?

He opened his eyes and found himself staring at Medusa's fingers, spread across his forehead.

You want to love Medusa.

She's beautiful and smart, isn't she?

Stein thought for a moment.

Then, in a swift motion he cut off her arm.

"AH!" She screamed.

And then she was gone. She didn't run away, or create a magical fog to escape. She just disappeared.

Stein was still staring and the spot where she had disappeared.

"Mmph… Stein I'm going to kill you…" Marie woke up suddenly. "Stein!"

She turned and saw him there, staring at an empty space.

"Stein you!" She ran over to him and embraced him.

"I thought you were dead you idiot!"
"I-" Stein was still shocked by the hug.
"And what are you doing staring at an empty space like that? Plotting to dissect a bird again?"

"Well it was nothing." Stein said reassuringly.

"Well I'm still not happy." Marie glared.

"What can I do to make up for it?"

"Popcorn and cinema. Now."

"By the way, did you get it?" Stein asked.

"Get what?"

"The little homecoming joke?" Stein smiled sheepishly.

"No, I didn't get it and it wasn't funny." Marie glared again.

"Well, Valentine's Day is actually the day when Saint Valentine was beheaded, so I just thought…"

"Well don't think." she pecked him on the cheek.

And off they went to the cinema.
Stein glanced back before they closed the house door.

He saw something walk from one study room to another-

But that was probably a hallucination…

Was it?
