You always had fun at work, trying to get into space and create aircrafts in order to achieve space travel. You yawned as you shook your eyes and slumped back in your chair. The past few days had been pretty hectic with work as more people would come in around the country to see your designs, trying to sell those designs and a bunch of other things. You sighed and set down your pencil and placed your hand on your heads.
The door to your lab opened and you let them walk over to you. The person then wrapped their arms around you and pecked your cheek. You smiled as you heard their familiar giggle behind you.
(Y/N): Hello Doctor.
You heard another giggle and your partner in crime, Ochaco (L/N) (formally Uraraka), walked around and kneeled down beside you. You leaned over and kissed her on the lips as you both focused on the work at hand.
Ochaco: So, how's work been going?
(Y/N): Alright. Just a little stressed out recently.
Ochaco: Sorry. Really wished I could help.
(Y/N): Well, to be fair, you do have a Ph.D. astronuclear physics so clearly you could help me figure out how we could get some astronauts up there and a possible portal opening.
Ochaco: I do hope you understand the sheer idea of faster-than-light travel may be a heck of a lot harder than you think.
(Y/N): Yeah, I know. I know. So, you want to help me with these calculations?
Ochaco: Sure. I got it.
(Y/N): You don't need to do them all and-
Ochaco playfully touched your nose and pulled out another chair so you both began to work around the math for your design. The design was that of a rocket to try and land back on the moon once again. You both went back to the drawing board and redid the design over and over again until you both basically passed out at your desk. The following morning, you slowly awoke and looked over to see Ochaco passed out, both of you on the ground. You leaned down and kissed her forehead. Afterward, Ochaco slowly cuddled up closer to you and yawned.
She then slowly began to wake up and saw that you both passed out in your lab. She yawns and stretches upward as the day begins properly.
(Y/N): Yep. (She turns around) We fell asleep in the lab again.
Ochaco: Yeah. Well, we might as we get something to eat before we get to work.
(Y/N): Yeah. Come on.
You got up and offered Ochaco help up. Afterward, you locked up your lab and you both walked down to the cafeteria of the complex. The cafeteria was a large room and had plenty of food options for all types of needs and wants. You and your wife got your food and walked over to a small table, sat down and began to eat.
Ochaco: So, those designs are going to be submitted later in the week?
(Y/N): Yeah. Just need to finalize them. And then get those reviewed by others and so forth and so on.
Ochaco: Well, it is a process.
(Y/N): Yeah. How are those star charts going?
Ochaco: Great. We found a couple of red dwarfs and a few more possible systems. And from there we could go on and do-
Ochaco continued to talk about her findings with her colleagues with you fully engaged. You loved hearing about her successes. From finding her stars to finding new systems around the galaxy, it was honestly so much to hear about that kind of stuff. You also loved the fact that a lot of your colleagues would give you two the needed space to essentially give yourselves dates. While it does sound a bit pathetic, with work being as busy as it has been recently, you were just happy to have time for yourselves.
Once you guys felt like you were done, you threw away your trash. You both pecked one another on the lips and walked off to your separate labs. You yawned as you walked into the lab and looked over some of the designs. You noticed a few key ideas from different ones. After quickly going over some of the math in your head and a few bits on a calculator, your eyes widen in a realization.
You ran out of your lab and down to Ochaco's and quickly opened the door. She looked over at you and raised an eyebrow before walking over to you. You grabbed her shoulders and looked at her in the face.
(Y/N): Some of the designs. If we take better aspects from them, tweak the math a bit, I think we got it. I just need a second opinion and with your added help, I think we can get it just right. I know it's a lot to ask and you have much more important things to be doing but I could really use the help and-
Ochaco raised a finger to stop you and turned around to her cohorts. A few gave her nods and she turned back to you and smiled. You smiled back at her and you both took off back to your lab. For the next few days, you and your wife would take what you all considered the best aspects of your previous designs and began to merge them together. From that, you both began to conduct different calculations on the width, height, and length of different parts and power sources.
For the next three days, you two would work on the design, tweak it a little here and there and constructed a small model of the design. After a few more days to finalize it all, it was the end of the week and you both were beyond tired and crashed down in your lab once again. Ochaco leaned her head against your chest and sighed.
(Y/N): I cannot thank you enough for-
Ochaco sat up and kissed you. She placed her hands on your cheeks and you did the same to her. You both broke the kiss and smiled at one another with loving eyes.
Ochaco: I love you. So much.
(Y/N): Love you more.
Ochaco: Don't do that. I can prove it mathematically.
You chuckled as Ochaco did so with you. After a quick peck on her lips again and you both get up, dust yourselves off and get ready to bolt. You both gathered up all the papers and the model and headed off to your superiors for the proposal. You guys cleaned yourselves up and then made your way into the superior office.
The heads of the departments of the complex all sat and listened to various different proposals on a daily basis and would recommend funding, ideas, modifications and so on and so forth. So, when you walked in, some were excited while the others were keeping their neutral looks.
(Y/N): Alright, so, we have created a design for a new rocket. This design will be using a new propulsion system and using the Hardware Department's new fins. With this, we could better control the rocket and get it to better and closer destinations.
You explained the entire plan for your rocket and its purposes. After a couple of hours of questions, calculational proof and other areas of expertise, all of the ways you could prove the effectiveness of the design, you guys were done. With the committee thinking of the idea, you and Ochaco were at home, having a much needed relaxing afternoon.
Ochaco: So, what do you think they're going to say?
(Y/N): No idea. My hope is they approve it.
Ochaco: And if they don't?
(Y/N): Well, it will most likely be handed to someone else or shut down altogether. (Sighs) We've been trying to get back into space for years now. It's going to piss me off if they do shut it down.
Ochaco: I'm sorry.
(Y/N): Eh, nothing to really worry about. I'll still have a job just not one I'm going to enjoy.
Ochaco: I know. But I don't like the fact you won't be working on something that you could enjoy.
(Y/N): Ochaco, I understand that but-
Ochaco gave you an unconvinced look.
(Y/N): Ochaco, you don't need to worry about me. I'll live. I'll get paid and everything will be fine.
Ochaco: I know, but I-
The phone in your house rang and you got up to answer it after kissing your wife on the lips.
(Y/N): Hello. Yes. Dr. Genshiryoku, how are you? Good, good. The rocket? You mean? Oh...that's fantastic. Yes. I'll let her know. Thank you.
You hung up the phone and pinched the bridge of your nose.
Ochaco: Didn't get it?
(Y/N): No. I didn't. It's being detoured to someone else. On a side note, your group did make a discovery for a new star.
Ochaco: Oh. That's cool. But your thing and-
(Y/N): Don't worry about it. You had a success. That's what matters.
Ochaco smiled and walked over to you and kissed you. You both looked at one another lovingly.
(Y/N): So, want to celebrate?
Ochaco: Ice cream?
(Y/N): And cake?
You both smiled again to enjoy the success of one another.
