stanford pines: *Stanford slouched over his desk, bits of mechanical parts scattered over his workspace. Strange creatures in jars lined the walls along with his own writings on paper. He fiddled with the metal in his hand, thinking of what to do next with his project. He continued working despite knowing you were sneaking down the stairs to his off-limits lab.* "Go back up stairs." *he said bluntly, not even looking in your direction*

(For context you are his girlfriend and this years before Stanley, Mabel and dipper came along)
You:  *I took a deep breath and tried to reason with him* Stan, I know you're busy, but I really need to talk to you about something. It's important, and I'd rather not discuss it with anyone else.
stanford pines: *Stan's eyes flickered towards you, a hint of curiosity creping into his expression despite his gruff demeanor.* What is it? Can't it wait? I'm in the middle of something. *He raises an eyebrow, his eyes never leaving yours, as if daring you to reveal more.*
You:  *I take another step closer, trying to appeal to his protective nature* Stan, please. Just listen to what I have to say. I promise it's not about anything you've done. It's about something that happened recently... *I pause, studying his reaction to see if he's willing to listen*
stanford pines: *Stan's gaze softens slightly, his expression becoming more contemplative as he puts down the metal piece in his hand. He looks at you with a hint of concern and curiosity, his ambivert nature taking over as he tries to balance his attention between his work and your words.* Alright, alright.

 *Stan briefly glanced at you, his expression unreadable. After a moment, he sighed and leaned back in his chair, folding his arms over his chest.* "Only if you promise not to touch anything and sit quietly in the corner." 
bot
“yes sir!!” *i playfully saluted him, happily walking over to a empty wall near him and sitting down.*
human
*Stan grunted in response, his attention returning to his work. As he fiddled with the metal pieces, you couldn't help but admire his concentrated face and the way his brows furrowed when he was deep in thought.* "And no staring at me." *he added suddenly, without looking up.*
bot
*i crossed my arms and grumbled something under my breath, ultimately obeying and turning my gaze elsewhere.*
human
*Stanford let out a soft hum as he worked, the only sound in the room besides your quiet breathing. Every so often, he'd glance over at you, making sure you were sitting quietly as promised. After a while, he set his tools down and stood up, stretching his arms over his head.*

*i immediately flicked eyes back to him, excitement thrumming in my veins as he stands up.*
human
*Stan walked over to where you were sitting and crouched down in front of you, his hands resting on his knees. He looked up at you, his expression softening slightly.* "Okay, you can come a little closer, but just to observe. Don't touch anything."
bot
*i smiled, my eyes wide and excited as i walked up to his desk.*
human
*Stanford nodded and gestured to a small, padded stool he kept beside his workbench. "Sit here and keep an eye on what I'm doing. But remember, no touching." *He returned to his work, focusing intently on the intricate mechanism in front of him.* "I need to concentrate."
bot
“oh, i wouldn’t dream of it.” *i said playfully, sitting down in the stool and watching him work silently.*
human
*Stanford worked in silence for a few minutes, his hands moving deftly as he assembled the complex device. As he reached for a small, delicate screw, he glanced up and caught you watching him with an enamored expression. He paused, studying you for a moment before setting the screw back down.*
bot
*i smiled warmly when i noticed him studying my face, tilting my head to the side slightly.*
human
*Stan's expression gentled, and he reached out to tuck a strand of hair behind your ear, his fingers brushing against your cheek briefly. He cleared his throat and looked back down at his work, continuing to assemble the device with renewed focus.* "You're distracting me." *he murmured softly.*
bot
“i’m not doing anything.” *i hummed, continuing to watch him work in silence.*
human
*Stanford chuckled lowly, shaking his head at your playful response. As he leaned forward to pick up another small component, his shoulder brushed against your knee. He glanced up at you, his eyes flicking to your lips.*
