Then Afterwards We Drop Into A Quiet Little Place N' Have A Drink Or Two.

dr. ratio x fem!reader

synopsis; you make veritas ratio so stupid. is he stupid enough to say 'i love you' when he just met you though? hopefully not.

part two! and then i go and spoil it all by sayin somthin stupid like....

fluff, ratio might be kinda ooc for him to fall for a love at first sight thing. but hes totally whipped for you, i tried 2 make it gen!neutral but "pretty person" just didnt sound right, inspired by frank sinatra's "something stupid."

veritas ratio is not stupid. he doesn't say stupid things, he doesn't think stupid thoughts. he'd say he hates the idea of it, if you were to ask him.

and of course a man with outstanding achievements in the fields of biology, medicine, natural theology, philosophy, mathematics, physics, and engineering wouldn’t stumble at the mere sight of a pretty girl, right? you’d think so, but here he was. mouth agape, clammy hands, and a racing heart. it’s stupid.

just cause a pretty girl happened to talk to him. though, to him, you weren't just a pretty girl. he almost thought he was hallucinating- he was about to check for signs of chemical abnormalities in his brain. it was awkward, actually, as he reached out to touch your steady hand to confirm you were real, but didn't have a game plan for what to do if you were (which you were. you are real. and you did stare at his cold fingers brushing against your knuckles.)

“are you alright, mr. ratio?” you say, a breathy chuckle escaping from your lips. you're sat across the table from him, your drink in your hand as you occasionally take sips from the chunky straw that protrudes from the cap.

all you wanted to do was approach a scholar you deeply admired, but it seems like you caught him at a bad time.

you look at him expectantly.

"um. hello?”

you consider standing up to leave, oh well, maybe you could try your luck with a letter to his assistant.

the sound of an awkward throat-clear is heard from across the table, “hi. i’m sorry, you just startled me. wha.. what do you need?” he says, straightforward and curtly. the way the tips of his ears are red and his voice cracks when he says ‘stArtled’ betray the cool demeanor he's trying to present.

“i recognized you from my booth. thought i had to take the opportunity to chat with such an esteemed man. i hope i'm not intruding too much.” you close your eyes as you take another sip, giving him a break from your intimidating gaze.

oh you, you flatter him. and you know it from the way he almost stumbles over his words and his hands get shakier as he realizes he hasn't moved them far enough away from yours to be normal.

he tries to find something, anything to say. anything to say to keep the conversation going, to flaunt his academic prowess that you approached him for, to keep you here with him, but he seems to have lost it all when you sat down.

“my apologies, i'll leave you be, then.” you say with a smirk. placing your napkin that had been resting in your lap onto the table and grabbing your drink, you give him a curt goodbye and walk out of the café.

well fuck.

he blew it. a girl so pretty he was convinced he was hallucinating her just sat by him and tried to talk to him and he blew it. he thinks about what topic he could pour himself into to distract from, what he over exaggerates to be, the biggest mistake of his life. and then his smartass brain turns back on.

he sees the neatly folded napkin you left behind, with curly red ink and blotches protruding behind the elegant folds. he grabs it and carefully unfolds it,

i was about to be late to my meeting. but i wouldn't want to miss a chance to speak with my favorite scholar.

lets link up ###-###-####

he’s quite happy he didn’t speak his mind when he first met you. you make him so stupid. almost stupid enough to blurt out ‘i'm totally in love with you’ when he just met you. he’ll be sure to set some hours aside in the evening to plan what he’ll say to you next time.

my official post to put an end to teruhashi hate

(note: im aroace, so of course i love the headcannon that saiki is too, BUT i also like saiteru a lot ☺️ to me its not a big deal if hes shipped with anyone because he is just a character and its not canon that hes aroace {even though i'd be happy if he was!!})

just admit you just hate confident women (because its CANON that to everyone but saiki, she IS the perfect pretty girl.)

her crush on saiki is incredibly reasonable. it started as her seeking validation, because her entire self worth since birth has been male validation, but over the series its shown how she really comes to care about him.

if you say something like "oh but he obviously doesnt like her back" ?? to US it's obvious that he doesnt outwardly reciprocate her feelings, but to her whenever saiki ignores her, thats just how he is to everyone.

to her, theyve gone on multiple dates, and theyre in the same friend group, so its totally reasonable for her to have some hope still.

refer back to my post about the years of harassment and trauma teruhashi has faced 🙏 i could talk about her and how she deserves better forever 🙏🙏

saiki doesnt even hate her either 😒😒 you are fighting a battle that nobody else cares about 😒 saiki n teruhashi r besties and you guys mightve watched a bootleg version if you think saiki still hates teruhashi at the end of the show or even at the beginning?? he just didnt like how she attracted attention, he acknowledges that everything she thinks about herself is true

and anyway the WHOLE show is about how saiki is growing and accepting the people in his life, and accept the fact that he cares about them. TERUHASHI IS ONE OF HIS FRIENDS TOO 😒😒

pinky promise im getting to the 3+ requests in my drafts 💔💔 highschool just started 4 me and ive been so sleepy lately but i will get on my grindset

PSA ABOUT STANLEY PINES AND HOW HE ISNT STUPID WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT FINN IM CRYING

(this is very not well written i was EMOTIONAL and SOBBING when i was typing this i will revise it later)

he is NOT stupid. (despite what @euphoric-ghoul says.......) his brother is a genius, 12 phds, got a huge grant, made a perpetual motion machine which is impossible- but despite that, stan is still not stupid.

you cant compare him to his brother, since theyre both very intelligent in their own ways. it takes smarts to fend for yourself after getting kicked out fresh out of highschool, hes a con man, and its shown throughout the series and books that hes acutely aware of what hes doing and what is happening around him.

its a classic street-smart and book-smart situation. although ford is definitely street smart after surviving 30 years in the multiverse.

theyre made to parallel eachother, fords weaknesses are stans strengths- take their social skills. although its played for laughs, stan knows how to talk.

but i hate it when people consider their highschool selves to be the same person now that theyre in their fifties. not only would that be crazy even if they were normal, did you not watch the episode where their entire lives change??? highschool stan was irresponsible, and highschool ford couldnt talk to a girl. those people are completely different from the men who dealt with the supernatural and were left to fend for themselves alone.

anyway this was all for FINN... @euphoric-ghoul WHY WOULD YOU SAY stan is the "stupid one" and ford is the "smart one" IM ACTUALLY GONNA FIGHT YOU WHEN I SEE YOU AGAIN BUDDY...... leave my GLORIOUS KING alone....

for context i was talking to finn and he MISCHARACTERIZED my two glorious twins.....

I am sending anon hate 😈😈😈😈 I don't like you because you're QUEER 😡😡😡😡😡😡 -📼

@euphoric-ghoul i will not say anything hateful since it is pride month.... but wait until next month buddy..........
