Title: Interesting
Chapter Title: Distracting
Series: ガリレオ/Galileo
Characters: Utsumi Kaoru, Yukawa Manabu
Summary: Things may get a bit distracting from now on...
----------------------
She cautiously took a seat on the back so that she wouldn't disturb the lecture. And surprised herself to see the amount of girls attending the lecture still remaining the same. Without thinking, Utsumi let out a sigh of relief. After yesterday, she couldn't help feeling nervous. Who knows if any of these students happened to see... what they did yesterday. Knowing that Yukawa tended to have plenty of fans wherever he went, things might get pretty ugly.
Yukawa continued his lecture, seemingly unaware of her having entered the hall. The lecture was still on the topic of electromagnetism, one of the topics that used to baffle her. But after years of having visited Yukawa during his lectures as well as those 'extra' laboratory lessons and experimentations that occasionally coincide with both her cases as well as his lab sessions; she had to say that she managed to absorb a lot of the physics knowledge. She might be a bit slow on the uptake with regards to science subjects, but after years and years of repeated exposures to the lectures; have to say she learned a lot. Somehow now, she started to feel proud of that fact.
Yukawa suddenly paused, as he seemed to have noticed her amongst his sea of students. He flashed her a smile before resuming lecture. In which some of his students mistook that as him smiling at them and reacted excitedly. Unlike yesterday, he managed to remain calm and resumed talking as if nothing happened between them during his short pause.
Utsumi laughed nervously. Even when they used to do this many times before, it felt strange now. In light of what happened yesterday. Not sure she could ever get used to this.

"Are you making it a habit now... sneaking into my lectures without warning?"
"You're the one who told me to come. And I can't enter your apartment by myself to get my things. And it's not as if I haven't done it before..." she pouted before glancing at him. "Also, aren't you forgetting... I'm still on vacation?"
"I'm aware of that. But I assumed that you'll be waiting for me at the lab. You coming to the lectures... I have to say it's—"
"What?" she turned to look at him. Yukawa shrugged.
"Mildly distracting," he answered as Utsumi snorted. He turned towards her. "How about things on your side? I assumed you had things to tend to?"
She shrugged. "I had my car serviced, I didn't realise how much I missed taking her on a drive—" Utsumi flashed her a curious look, "—you're saying that every time I come to your lectures, it was distracting to you?"
Yukawa sighed. "Not much before, regardless whether it was only you or Kusanagi doing that. Even then, it's usually related to some complicated case so eventually, I manage to get used to those kinds of distractions." He paused as if trying to gather his thoughts. "But the distraction today... was a bit more distracting than usual,"
Utsumi tried to sneak a glance towards him as Yukawa tried to avoid her eyes. She grinned before looking away, suddenly feeling conscious of herself.
"Oh, really?" she started to say before glancing warily towards some of the female students passing by. "I was a bit worried if any of your students noticed anything about—err, yesterday. You're quite popular here after all. Somehow I wonder if I should try to reduce the frequency of me visiting here..."
Why? It never bothered you before this..."
Utsumi gave him a side glance. As if you don't know! She shook her head, trying to not let him get to her. "I guess because this place also started to become mildly distracting to me too."
That made him turn to face her. "Oh?" She could have sworn the sides of his mouth had twitched a bit higher. "Are you planning to come here much more frequently than before?"
Utsumi looked away as she tried to will the heat that started to rise to her cheeks to disappear. "I-I-I didn't say that! D-did you think I h-have so much free time? I also have my own job, you know?" She glanced back at him. "Are you done for today?"
Yukawa gave her a look before glancing towards his wristwatch. "Yes, it should be. Just let me get some things I left at the lab. There were some papers that I needed to take home."
Utsumi nodded as she started to head towards the direction of the faculty building. Without warning, Yukawa grabbed her hand and wrapped her arm around his own.
"Yukawa-sen—what're you doing?" Utsumi exclaimed as she suddenly felt aware of eyes watching them. "People are looking!" she hissed.
Yukawa grinned. "Let them. Perhaps they also needed some distraction. I'm already fine with my own distraction right here..." he said before casually dragging Utsumi towards the old building in front of them.
