28. Experiment

Summary: A scientific experiment involving the South Tokyo Branch workers.

Characters: Tsukino, Kawachi, Azuma, Kanmuri, Matsushiro

Prompt: None. Actually, I wrote this one at least a year ago, but I only found it just now.

Pairings: hinted KanmurixAzuma


Hypothesis: There's something going on between Kanmuri and Azuma besides friendship.

"There HAS to be something going on between them!" Kawachi exclaimed to Tsukino. "I'm sure of it! I saw Kazuma blush while they were talking earlier!"

Tsukino sighed. "Are you really sure about this?"

Materials: Azuma, Kanmuri, three people to watch them, and a set up date of sorts.

"WHAT!?" Both Kanmuri and Azuma were both horrified when Ken Matsushiro told them they must go out together tonight. "But-" Ken gave them a look that meant, 'Do it or else you're fired.' "Fine..."

What's going to happen: As Kanmuri and Azuma go on their 'date,' Matsushiro, Kawachi and Tsukino will stalk- ("IT'S NOT STALKING! IT'S CALLED FOLLOWING THEM! SHEESH!" Kawachi shouted at the authoress) I mean, FOLLOW the two around and take notes of what happens.

Observations: (see below)

Kanmuri and Azuma were currently eating ice cream together, Azuma having a chocolate cone while Kanmuri had strawberry. "Okay...9:00 p.m. They are currently eating ice cream together." Kawachi whispered as he wrote it down in his notebook.

"Kawachi. You don't have to make it that detailed..." Tskuino trailed off, sighing. "I really don't get why we're doing this...nothing seems to be 'going on' with them. Can we just call it quits?"

"Wait!" Matsushiro exclaimed, writing something down in his notebook. "9:01 pm. Azuma tripped on a rock and landed on Kanmuri!"

"WHAT!?" both of them shouted/whispered at the same time in shock. They peered closer... "Are they..."

"No, they're not kissing. They're just embarrassed."

Conclusion: We have no idea if Azuma and Kanmuri are just good friends, or they're dating. No. Idea. At all. And Kanmuri's mad that Kawachi set this up on him and Azuma. Really, really mad.

"Kanmuri, I'm sorry!" Kawachi howled as Kanmuri chased him around the building angrily.

"Apologize to Azuma-san too, Kawachi! And there's nothing going on between us! NOTHING! IS THAT CLEAR!?"

Matsushiro smirked as he listened to the conversation outside the office. "This is why you don't try to conduct an experiment involving a scientist and the world's greatest baker." He murmured to himself before resuming reading his newspaper.
