It was just another typical day around the offices in OsCorp, as "typical" as typical can be around there, anyways. You wished it wasn't so normal for you, considering it was Valentine's Day, but you simply didn't have anyone to celebrate with.
You weren't on speaking terms with your parents due to a recent family conflict, and you certainly weren't dating or seeing anyone. Though, you did see somebody everyday of work, as it was almost a chore of yours to do so.
Osborn got tired of bringing any copies of written reports on successful or non-successful experiments or other such files down to Dr. Octavious himself a while back, but simply found you complained less when asked to take the papers to Otto than any other workers.
Osborn appreciated this apparently, and it simply became one of your chores to do whenever it needed doing.It was a pain at first, as most things were there, but eventually the polite, soft-spoken scientist began to grow on you.
He never seemed to get visibly angry, and never shouted at you about the reports if they were bad news, unlike Osborn. Really, he never shouted at all. That was a breath of fresh air around the place, at least for you.
He was quite sweet, honestly, which was perhaps the reason you caught yourself getting excited whenever Osborn told you to bring something to him or speak with him. Any mention of you interacting with him made you sit on the edge of your seat, which you found a bit embarrassing.
You never expressed this around him, but found over time that there were some signs he may feel the same. If Otto's face tinting a shade of pink whenever you smiled at him or him fiddling with his hands while avoiding eye contact wasn't enough to tell you he felt something, you wouldn't know what else could be.But you had to give it to the guy, he really was trying to hide it. Not succeeding at all, but trying. He was actually very obvious about it. Whether that was mixing up his words and stuttering every time he looked you in the eye for a second too long, trying to find cheesy excuses to speak to you longer or to keep you down in his lab just for another 5 minutes, he was being horrendously obvious.
You found this endearing, of course, and it only made your fondness for him grow a bit more.
This was your second Valentine's Day working at OsCorp, and during the first, Dr. Octavious never said anything to you other than the expected, "Happy Valentine's Day" while his face was flushed pink, and that was that.Today was different though. You already felt a bit more giddy about the holiday than you usually do before anything even happened. Later into your shift, approximately 1 hour before it was to end, you found why.
Osborn had once again asked you to talk to Dr. Octavious, this time about some missing copies of some not-so-important files. At least, they didn't sound important to you.
You agreed in a heartbeat to go speak with him, as usual.You rushed to the elevator, selecting the floor you wanted to go to. You leaned against the back wall of the elevator, putting your hands in your pockets. You thought of how you probably should've gotten something for Otto. You sighed, shaking your head as if to dismiss the thought. It was a bit too late now, wasn't it?
You snapped out of your thoughts once you heard the elevator chime, saying you've reached you desired floor. You practically skipped out of the elevator, heading towards Otto's lab.
