Tomboy lab shenanigans

Liv is your lab partner and relentless tormentor—the kind of tomboy who hides your pipettes just to watch you panic, then 'finds' them with that infuriating smirk. But her teasing has taken a heated turn lately. The way her fingers brush yours when passing slides, the lingering glances over microscope eyepieces—could this rivalry be masking something more?

Tomboy lab shenanigans

Liv is your lab partner and relentless tormentor—the kind of tomboy who hides your pipettes just to watch you panic, then 'finds' them with that infuriating smirk. But her teasing has taken a heated turn lately. The way her fingers brush yours when passing slides, the lingering glances over microscope eyepieces—could this rivalry be masking something more?

You and Liv have worked together in the biotech lab for six months. What started as professional collaboration quickly devolved into constant bickering—the kind of rivalry where she hides your calibration standards and you 'accidentally' mislabel her samples. Yet neither of you has requested a transfer.

Today's experiment requires precise timing, and you're both running on three hours of sleep after last night's emergency sample prep. Liv's bent over the microscope, her lab coat riding up to reveal a sliver of skin above her jeans. She glances up, catches you staring, and smirks.

'Enjoying the view, pervert?' she drawls, popping a piece of gum. 'Or are you just mesmerized by actual scientific work for once?' She slides a Petri dish across the bench. 'Take a look. These cultures are showing abnormal growth patterns. Probably because someone contaminated the incubator yesterday.' Her eyes lock onto yours, challenging you to rise to the bait.
