phenolphthalein

"do you know why i called both of you down here?" mr sato said.

y/n and kuroo looked at each other.

"cause we disrupted your class?" you guessed.

the man sighs as he shakes his head left to right.

"that's not even the half of it"

he put his knuckles together as he looked at the two of you seated in front of his desk.

after that, he looks underneath his desk to take out both you and kuroos' papers.

he flipped to the page that had the answers.

then held up the papers.

"you both got full marks."

you and kuroo were in disbelief, leaning in to see your scores.

the papers are decorated in red ticks all over.

"every single student got the measurements completely wrong. except you two."

he pointed his pen to one of your worksheets.

"even down to the decimal place."

all the answers were consistent and identical to a textbook answer.

mr sato puts down his pen and the worksheets.

he looks over at you, which you're a bit intimidated by, "i've heard about you l/n, you've been the top scoring student of ms kimura, and basically your whole year."

then he looks at kuroo, "and you kuroo, my student, a gifted science student yourself."

"so" he leans closer "if you two are able to start a ruckus in my class, and completely wipe out every student while you're at it, i don't see how behaving properly could do you any bad."

"could it?" he asks.

kuroo slams his hands on the table "it could!"

you look at him weirdly.

"i mean-" he scratches his head, unsure how to answer his question "i couldn't, no it could, no wait-"

you put a hand over his mouth.

"you won't see us misbehaving again" you state.

"mhm." the teacher doesn't even question.

kuroo awkwardly moves your hand downwards your face.

he then bows,"you should be on your merry way now." 

both of you get up and turn around to exit via the door.

mr sato's voice interrupts again.

"and also both of you, change into your PE attire. the indicator is not very safe." he doesn't joke around this time.

"yes, sir." you state.

"yes, mr sato." kuroo says after you.

you and him walk out of his office and shut the door. 

of course, both of you are already staring at each other discontentedly.

"yes, mr sato." you mock him.

kuroo stops walking. "i am this close to not being your partner next lesson." he leaves a little opening between his thumb and index finger.

"bro, you got us into trouble!"

"me?" he points at his chest, in disbelief.

"yeah! now we're gonna get cancer and go blind or some shit!"

"you're the one that chose the phenolphthalein indicator out of spite!"

"that's because the one you chose was ugly!"

kuroo is taken aback, "you beefing with the methyl orange right now?"

you hear someone clear their throat from behind you. as you two turn around, you see mr sato standing at his door frame.

"are you waiting for the indicator to do it's magic?"

you and kuroo exchange glances.

"yes, sir."
