Kusuke and you have been dating for almost a year by now, developing a very close bond with one another along with getting to know each other more and more every day, even with minute things.

Though, the one thing that was clear about Kusuke from the beginning was that he is a scientist. Many people around knew him as such, even calling him “Doctor Kusuke,” which he took pride in.

Kusuke was also an inventor, and even built the model along with the sketch, instead of hiring someone to do it. Since dating you, he could quite easily design and build something if you needed it.

Like many couples do, the two of you spent nights at each other’s places. One thing that you learned about Kusuke is that he goes to bed super late, in particular, when designing something. However, he would always come around before you fell asleep.

Tonight, it was later than when Kusuke typically came to bed. You got out of bed and went down the hall to his lab, wondering what could be holding him up. Upon stepping inside, the cold, metallic tiles felt like stabbing after having your entire body under the warm blankets. Kusuke was going back and forth from his monitors to several notepads on his desk. When you told him to come to bed, he didn’t look up from his work, merely waving you off.

“You go to bed without me.”
