Forever Rival (Silco x yn)

Build up

You pushed your chair across the room and grabbed the headphones sitting on to top of your desk. With another push of your leg, you swung back across the room while putting them over your ears gently. You caught yourself with your leg before you swiped your phone from the counter. Scrolling through your Spotify playlist, you choose a playlist and put your phone back. Watching your experiment from far away with frustration, the beat of "CPR" started to play through your ears. With a smile, you stretched your arms up and gave a loud sigh, "Alright, time to get to work". You rolled your way to your workspace and got to work.

6 hours later:

A sudden jerk of my shoulder jolted me awake. I quickly sat up as my vision cleared and an unfinished prototype sat between me and... someone else? Slowly pulling my eyes up to examine who it wa- "Oh, geez. H-hey Victor," I smiled tiredly and rubbed my eye awake, "didn't know I'd be accepting guests today. What can I do for you?"
He stared unapprovingly at me and put his hand on the desk, "from what I've observed from your situation," he motioned to me letting out a yawn, "you haven't gotten anything done today have you?"
I raised an eyebrow at him. "You really have no faith in my do you?"
He followed me as I got up and led him to the other side of the room. There, a basket way quietly waiting filled with completed projects and toys. "I have been working on these all day, if you must know."
I picked up a toy hand bomb, pulled out the pin and threw it to Victor. "-y'n, what have you done. We need to get this out of here-" He scrambled with the toy in hand and through it out the window and into the lake below.
"Hey-" I pulled his arm away from the window and watched the bomb fall to the water. I spun to face Vaktor, "That was a prototype toy for the new design I was making."
I din't realize how close our faces were and jumped back, almost tripping out the window before his arm caught me. "Y/n, as much as I am impressed with your work, I am also concerned with your health"
Rolling my eyes back, I walked back to my desk and leaned over the table to grab my wrench, "you don't have to concern yourself with me, I am perfectly healthy and capable of doing my job. But thank you for the concern your highness~"
I proped myself onto my desk and continued to work on the unfinished bomb sitting in pieces beside me. From the corner of my eyes, I watched Viktor start to walk up to me but then stop halfway. He stood there in silence for a moment before making his way to the door, "don't overwork yourself too much Mrs. l/n. We need that brilliant brain tomorrow for Progress day."
"Goodnight your majesty~" I joked and blew him a goodnight kiss.
"goodnight y/n"
A light pink tinted his cheeks before he closed the door between us.
Laughing to myself, I pulled my attention back to the device in hand. (Yes, you had nicknames for Viktor because you like to see how he reacts) I bit my lip as his words lingered in my head. "Goodnight y/n" it was a simple farewell gesture but I can not put into words how it made me feel. I not just admired the scientist for his achievements and discoveries in magic, but I may or may not have a tiny crush on him as well. Of course I could never tell him for fear of being inevitably shot down. It was considered unacceptable and scandalous to be in relationships with people working in the same department. So I would keep this love a secret.

Until the time was right.

"Sevika, is everything prepared for tomorrow?"
"yes sir, I have men on standby and awaiting orders"
"Good" looking past the window at the city of Zaun, "tomorrows performance will be ground braking"
