Title: The Formula of Love
Series: ガリレオ/Galileo
Characters: Utsumi Kaoru, Yukawa Manabu, Kishitani Misa
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...
------------------
"It's really shocking! I can't believe that actually happen! But the professor did act so strange earlier..."
"Ah, I'm so jealous... I wished the professor would kiss me too..."
Kishitani Misa stopped for a moment to try catching more of that conversation, but the girls have already started to head elsewhere as she headed to the Science and Engineering department. But even as she was nearing her destination, she kept hearing more of the bits of the gossip.
Most of the bits that she got were things like 'girlfriend' and 'weirdo' and 'unexpected love reveal'... but it didn't make sense. Because the gossip line seemed to refer to Professor Yukawa... and him with a love interest was something that didn't make sense. Professor Yukawa having a girlfriend? Impossible!
Kishitani shook her head vigorously before walking into the department building...
Yet even as she entered Lab 13, she was immediately told off by Kuribayashi that the professor wasn't in. Personal matters, he insisted.
In which Kishitani Misa couldn't help recalling most of the gossip that she heard earlier.

She couldn't believe what she was hearing. Yukawa... from the earlier on, have already liked her? Then...? She gasped as past memories started rushing back at her. All those times when she came to see Yukawa to discuss the cases and having to look for him in random gymnasiums, badminton courts, sport centres, other university facilities! All those times when she was left helpless, having to stare at Yukawa doing all those sports activities... looking so cool and attractive. Mesmerising her at how toned his muscles and making her heart beat faster—does that mean, that was all intentional? All these times... was that Yukawa's way of flirting with her?
Utsumi felt her legs grew weak before Yukawa rushed in to catch her before she could fall.
"Are you okay?" he asked before gently nudging her to take a seat on the nearby bench. She let out a small groan before massaging the side of her head. He frowned.
"I just confessed to you that I liked you, Utsumi. Are you not happy about it?"
Utsumi turned to look at him before attempting to kick him on his knees. But even the force of that kick was not as strong as she could have wished. Her cheeks already burned hotter that she had ever felt.
"Sneaky pervert! You are a pervert! But instead of what other perverts do, you're just channelling it all on me... isn't it? All those times when I had to just stare at your body when you're boxing or rock climbing—and I thought I was the pervert one having perverted thoughts on you. Ah, I'm so embarrassed!"
Yukawa cocked his head at her. "Was that so bad?"
Utsumi now felt as if her whole body was on fire out of embarrassment. She tried to kick him again. "Shut up! To think that normally you're already that attractive—all those female students fawning over you—and you're not even doing anything! And then finding out that you've been flashing out all that attractiveness to me intentionally, ah! I've underestimated you..."
She could hear Yukawa started to laugh softly beside her as she slapped him on the hips. "Don't laugh, you idiot! This wasn't funny! You fooled me for years, dammit! I hate you!"
Utsumi gave him a glare, before scooting sideways on the bench to avoid him. She took a long breath. "And I've been doing all those reading up just to prove a point to you that love was not illogical. But you've been playing me up all these times!"
"Reading up? What do you mean? Tell me."
"I don't want to! It probably already void because regardless of the points I've gathered, you've already been doing all those other things behind my back!"
Yukawa scooted closer, grabbing her arm. "Even then, just tell me. It's rare for you to actually do a research like this that was in no way related to your job scope. It'll be a waste to not have it presented to its intended audience."
Utsumi glanced at him. Yukawa didn't look as if he was trying to make fun of her, he did look genuinely interested in what she had been planning to show him. She pouted. "Fine. As long as you don't make fun of it. I've worked on this with all my heart, you know?"
"Of course."
