Title: The Formula of Love
Series: ガリレオ/Galileo
Characters: Utsumi Kaoru, Yukawa Manabu, Kusanagi Shunpei
Summary: She'd waited almost six years without much result. Another year wouldn't have made any difference. But still, one can't help wondering...

------------------

"...why?"

Utsumi blinked. "W-why? Yukawa-sensei... did you just asked me why?"

"You don't like it if I kissed you? I thought you..."

The heat started to rush up towards her cheeks as Utsumi recalled again the sensation of having Yukawa's lips pressing against hers. It was... pleasantly nice, much better than she imagined it could feel like. She could also remember the feel of his breath on her cheek, Yukawa's scent... his gentle touch. It felt so good... that it made her want to do something—w-wait! Hold on a sec!

Utsumi hastily shook her head to clear her mind. Yukawa was still staring at her... but she couldn't believe that things that happened earlier really did just happen. Was she still dreaming? She slapped her cheeks with both of her hands before crying out in pain.

Yukawa frowned. "What're you doing, Utsumi?"

"I can't fathom this. Yukawa-sensei... were you by chance kidnapped by aliens recently?"

"What nonsense are you talking now? What aliens?", he started exclaiming before taking a few steps towards her.

Utsumi stepped away in response as she held her arms out defensively towards him. "W-wait! I'm not ready yet!", she cried out, before muttering to herself loudly. "I know Weirdo Galileo is very eccentric, but this was uncharacteristic... even by his standard."

She glanced back towards Yukawa. "Totally... unlike your normal behaviour!"

Even as she said it, Utsumi started feeling shivers creeping up all over his body. The normal Weirdo Galileo who's really dense about the relationship between men and women was someone she was used to dealing with. But this Galileo... somehow presented an unknown variable to her. That notion was somehow... scary.

Not wanting to remain in close proximity to Yukawa any longer, Utsumi started sprinting towards the exit.

Kusanagi started giggling to himself for no reason, as he took out the documents and its printed copies from the copier. He absent-mindedly headed towards his desk, ignoring the glances from some of his fellow officers that noticed his odd behaviour.

His phone wasn't ringing... yet.  He couldn't help feeling disappointed. Shouldn't something be starting, right about now? He was anticipating that there would some kind of development between the two right after he ended that call to Utsumi, but did nothing really happen now? Utsumi did say she was going to pay Yukawa a visit.

Kusanagi sighed as he stared at the case files lying on his table. He starting to feel rather bored at the moment, to be honest. Not that peaceful times like this was really bad... but one can only spend so much time at the headquarters doing reports or sorting documents before getting restless.

His phone started ringing as Kusanagi grabbed his phone. He grinned widely.

"Hello?—wait, Utsumi... slow down! What're you talking about?" he asked, as Utsumi sounded very agitated on the other line.

"I said, have you told or taught anything weird to Yukawa recently?" Kusanagi snorted. "Because your 'friend' has been acting very weird—wait, he's always weird, but not THIS weird. I can't really understand why he would act like this... unless you're the one who's been giving him these weird ideas!"

Kusanagi placed his hand over his mouth to try to stifle his own laugh. "What did that idiot do now?"

"He hugged and ki—Kusanagi-san! This is your doing, isn't it? You turned him even more weird! You have to take responsibility!"

He burst out laughing right away. "Haha... this is so good, I didn't think Yukawa would actually listen to me. So, what else did he do—hey, shouldn't you be happy about this change? You did say that you kept being frustrated whenever Yukawa acted so dense to you..,"

"I know! But this is too sudden—" Utsumi's voice was suddenly cut out as another voice spoke to him through the phone.

"—Sorry about that, Kusanagi. We'll talk some more later..."

Kusanagi chuckled. "Yeah..." he said before the line was cut off from him. He stared blankly at the phone display. He smiled.

Well... the afternoon turned out to be not so boring after all. Yukawa better be telling him some good news after this!
