𝐏𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐎 ☹︎ VIKTOR ARCANE

CHP 5. COME BACK

" I NEED TO APOLOGISE... "

Y/N was sitting on the ground on a big balcony that overlooks a beautiful view of the city, Sky saw her storm off so she was probably with Viktor... now she can't apologise and hug him and kiss him.

She lays her head on the marble wall as she looks up at the sky, the sun was beautiful, but Y/N would have wished for planets and stars. "Y/N? What are you doing out here?", It was Heimerdinger. "Oh Professor!", Y/N quickly got up, staring down at the genius scientist she fiddles with her hands. "Aren't you supposed to be in the lab?", Y/N chuckles and nods. "Yea but Viktor is there with Sky and I--", shit. She said too much.

"Why would you be worried if they were there? I mean it's not like you-- oh", Y/N's face turns red as she shakes her head. "No, no, no, no I think you got this wrong Professor!", Heimerdinger laughs softly. "You have a crush on Viktor don't you?", Y/N shakes her head, feeling embarrassed. "You can't hide your real feelings if they're something so strong, you should know that Y/N", She bit her lip and looked away.

"But why aren't you advancing on him? It does seem like he reciprocates your feelings".

"I... kept a promise with Sky... that she could have him".

Y/N looks down with sad eyes, she wished it wasn't like this, but it was and there was nothing she could do to stop Sky from liking Viktor. Oh wait, that reminds her, she needs to go apologise. But not right now...

Throughout that day she worked on the Hexcore a little bit more but not in the lab, she knew Jayce had a separate lab that she could work in so she did that. She stared at the blueprints she had. Exhausted, she lays her head on her arm.

Maybe just a few minutes...

...

Viktor knew he was gonna find Y/N in that lab, he sighs and walks over to her. He places his coat around her shoulders and sits down beside her. His eyes dart around the table at the things she has been working on. Y/N has been working too hard where she falls asleep at work, she was never able to walk home with him because of this and he hated that.

Viktor tucks a few strands of hair away from Y/N's face as he smiles softly at her features that rested. He could stare at her forever. She was so beautiful.

He laid his head on his arms exactly like Y/N's but he was facing her direction. "I'm sorry, star, I am".

...

Y/N awoke, groaning as she flutters her eyes open. She looks to her side and sees Viktor sleeping peacefully beside her. Her face reddens. Not wanting to wake him up she rubs her face, stares at her work, but she felt warm... she felt her shoulders and noticed a coat hanging off them. She took it off and stared at it, jeez, of course, Viktor would wear the most vintage looking one, what a geek... a cute geek.

Y/N scoffs and smells the jacket. Her eyes soften. She felt herself cuddle up more with the jacket. The scent of coffee but a big hint of sweetness added to it, a scent of a coffee shop down the road, a scent that could put you to sleep instantly.

"You like that jacket, do you not?".

Her eyes widen as her head whips towards Viktor. "Oh you're awake", her face turns into a soft red as she throws the coat at his face. "Anyways, I'm gonna go get coffee", she said as she briskly walks towards the door.

"No wait, please wait".

Y/N gulps.

"I need to apologise".

Her eyebrows furrowed, looking back at Viktor who stood up. He sighs and lays his head on Y/N's shoulder. "Viktor--", "I really am sorry for the way I... nearly kissed you", Y/N's eyes started to fill up with tears as she burrows her head in the crook of Viktor's neck, hugging him tightly.

"No... No need to apologise, Viktor, I'm the one who has to apologise for running off like that I just...", her grip on him tightens. "...I can't love you the way you think I can".

...

It's been a few years now. Progress day, huh? Y/N stares at Jayce who looked healthy and happy. But she turns to look at Viktor who was paler than she remembered, his cheekbones seemed to be more hollow and he was leaning on his cane, even more, these days. And Y/N? She looked the same.

Jayce was going to go up onto a stage and make a speech while Y/N and Viktor stay behind. But Jayce had insisted that either Y/N or Viktor come up with him since it wasn't fair for him to do it alone. Y/N silently obliged. Staring down at the ground as she got ready.

"You look beautiful, Y/N, do not worry about how you look, okay?", Viktor's soft voice behind her. Viktor was sitting down as he admired Y/N, nearly falling in love all over again, as a sweet, stupid smile on his face appears. Y/N smiles and turns around. "You think so?", her smile disappears as she sits down beside Viktor, laying her head on his shoulder as she stares at her hands.

"I'm scared".

Viktor chuckles a little and grabs Y/N's hand and massages it a little. As of a way to tell her that it would be okay. "Do not be scared, we have changed the world, Y/N, and this is just the start, understood?", Y/N nods, "and by the way I l-".

"Oh there you are!", Viktor was interrupted with Jayce walking over, he smiles and hugs Y/N. "Where have you been, Jayce? They were about to ask me and Y/N to make the speech", Jayce laughs a little, "well you should have", Viktor rolls his eyes but smiles softly as Y/N looks back at him. "Wish me luck".

Viktor stares at her. He has never been more mesmerised at someone so amazing. Even after all these years he cannot help himself but fall in love. He knows that Y/N loves him... maybe..? But he doesn't know why she can't just run off with him. Leave these desperate lands that were never made for them. Leave to go to some other place.

Viktor couldn't help but notice how Sky has been talkative to only him lately, he doesn't mind since she's just a friend but he just wished it was Y/N.

After they finished the speech Viktor went back to the lab, dissatisfied with how it went and where Jayce had led it.

Y/N went backstage, she called out of Viktor as she looks everywhere. "Oh, Sky! Do you know where Viktor went?", Sky's eyes soften a little. "Uh, I think to the lab", Y/N smiles softly and thanks her. Running towards the lab she spots him eyeing the smooth bluestone. "And you were supposed to wait for me backstage", Y/N says as she walks closer to Viktor who shrugged his shoulders.

"Was it what Jayce did?".

Viktor sighs and nods, he can't hide anything from Y/N, she will always figure it out.

"Yes...".

Y/N laughs, sitting down on one of the chairs as she stares at the Hexcore. "Hm, since we're here, we should talk - as friends, I mean". Viktor chuckles, "wow I would never have guessed, I thought you meant as lovers", Y/N's heart skipped a beat, just by the thought of being lovers with him made her heart shudder. She couldn't hold back from this overwhelming feeling of love and affection just for Viktor, not for long anyway.

That's... going to be dangerous.
