notes: let's try a drabble from fennel's pov for once. part 4. college days again.
Fennel lied when she was asked about her dream machine. It was finished a long,long time ago. She hadn't been working on it for months, but she was always staying up late working on something. Plotting. Devising as elaborate plan.
"Hm?"
Papers flew as Fennel scrambled to cover them. "Waaaah! Aurea, don't do that!" She hoped that the brunette hadn't seen what she was working on.
She laughed lightly. Her hands were up in surrender, and Fennel relaxed a little. Maybe she hadn't read them. "I just wanted to know how that project's going. You've been working a lot lately."
"I - I'm fine." She stammered.
Aurea looked unconvinced. "If you say so."
"I am!"
Another chuckle. "Alright. Don't overwork yourself, okay?"
"Mhm."
As soon as the woman left, Fennel sighed, falling onto her desk. Papers were crushed, wrinkled. Only the one she had been working on, the closest plan she had, was kept intact.
"Phew. That was a close one."
The scientist lifted her head just enough to read it. She smiled. There were still a few errors, but it was perfect.
She was going to worm her way into the future professor's heart whether she wanted it or not.
