Love Potion

Louis was now in a ̶p̶r̶e̶c̶a̶r̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ pretty good situation. While he was indeed in the position he wanted to avoid the most, his simple presence, unneeded as it may be, has given me the chance to finally kickstart my romance...
It may very well be the first romance between an omniscient third-person narrator and a character. A forbidden love that transcend th-

"I'm very sorry, it seems like the voice in my head has pulled a little prank on me to get me there..." said Louis as he bowed down, rudely cutting off his narrator mid-sentence.

"I think you meant to say "the voices in our head" no? Also, why did you want to avoid this setting?" asked blue-hair suspiciously.

"No, no... You see... You are a collateral damage. I will find a solution to you hearing him. It would be best for you to avoid me so that you don't have to put up with his antics..."

Antics? Shut up Louis ! Let me talk with my new found love !

"Hey. Don't think I forgot your little comment in our first encounter. Narrator." the lady stated.

It was just me blabbering nonsense... Ahahah... ah...

Louis proceeded to speak up : "And what if he finds a way to detach from me? He would follow you everywhere !"

"That would be a problem. But don't worry. As you can see from this lab I've been given. I'm a woman of science ! I'm sure there's something that can be done." she said, pointing her thump up.

After a brief moment of silence she stated : "I'm Shukumei Hoshiko. Please to meet you Louis!"

"Pleased to meet you too and saddened to be a harbinger of chaos."

"Meh. It's not like you can do anything about him personally."

"Nothing I know of... But maybe the narrator is hiding something..."

...

...

"Why aren't you answering Narrator?" both of them said.

I was just shaking my head from side to side.

"You don't have a head." Louis said blankly.

I do not have a heart either but the both of you keep breaking it...

Anyway ! I need to look at the script to see where the story need to go. Please wait a minute...

........

Hmmm

I see...

Welp. My romance is already dead in the water.
Louis. It seems that you were supposed to fall in love at the first sight of Hoshiko. Now that you've decided against it... It seems the author wants to take a more aggressive approach. But the script ends there. Even I am in the dark from what the author is going to do.

"Heh. What can he do about it? He can't magically change how I feel about her."

Now that I think about it... What is Hoshiko doing in the background? She's been handling tubes, flasks and beakers for a while now...

"Louis ! Come here !"

Louis was startled. He slowly approached, asking himself how could she find a solution for his problem in such a short amount of time.

"Sorry I didn't find a way to silence the narrator for now... However I did find a temporary solution so that he stop courting me..."

Hoshiko proceeded to take out a red liquid she hid behind herself.

"This... Is a bottle." she declared.

"Dear god..."

"There's more."

"No..."

"It contains the wish of almost every man on Earth."

"Which is?"

"A love potion of course. Go on. Take it."

"What. Really?"

"Oh no... I didn't mean you could take it and run away. I mean. Take IT."

"Do you mind if I run?"

"Insubordination will not be tolerated."

Louis... proceeded to run toward the door.

"It's the second time I need to run away from her. It's beginning to annoy me !" he shouted.

As soon as he reached the handle, he tried to open the door. And then, it hit him. Hoshiko had prepared for this situation and locked the door preemptively.

"If we are going out, the narrator will stop pestering me. Come on now..."

Hoshiko was now only 1 meter away from him. However, something was wrong. When Louis tried to run, Hoshiko followed and had shaken the bottle a bit too much. Rendering the potion highly unstable.

"Oh no..."

The plastic bottle exploded and splashed the two of them in the face. Making them both swallow a small amount of the contained liquid.
The both of them fell to the ground and after opening their eyes they- for a lack of better words, fell for one another.

Louis was the first to speak.

"Hoshiko... You... You sure have a lot of flaws...

"Huh?!"

"I mean... Now that I'm blinded by love and ignore all of them, I find you to be a good partner. Which means that you must have a lot of them to make me uninterested before..."

"I'll... Contain my anger for now."

Author note : I've tried to make longer chapters but it is harder than I thought. So from now on chapters will be daily.
