Mr Burns #9

Requested by @alexlovesparmigiana, thanks for requesting! Hope you like it!

You groaned and switched off your alarm, and reluctantly got out of bed for work. You lived in Springfield and worked in Shelbyville, so you had to take the train there. That was kind of a pain, but hey, it was a living, so no use in complaining :)

After dressing, eating and getting yourself clean and ready to start the day, you left the house and made your way for the train station and waited to board it just like you did every other day. You checked your phone while you patiently waited, and the train finally arrived and you got on and took your seat. You plugged in your ear phones and waited out the trip, which only took like half an hour.

 On the way there, the train stopped to picked up some more passengers and the train was crowded at this point. You could sense it was cramped for the low chatter and various smells, but you never really noticed anything, until you took your eyes off of your phone and actually looked around. It was just pretty much the same usual bunch who showed up here, plus some others, but one in specific caught your attention. It was an old man, about average height, though a little hunch backed, scrawny and sharp dressed. He was standing and looking around for a seat, but no one seemed that keen on offering one to him. The cheerful expression on your face turned to a sad one as no one would help and you felt sorry for him, so you decided to offer him yours.

"Excuse me, sir" You stood up and put your hand on his shoulder. He turned and looked at you. "Please, take my seat" You offered with a pleasant smile.

He seemed taken aback for a moment  Its not that he didn't expect respect, as he felt he deserved it all, but as he didn't often receive it, he was a little surprised to see it from you. "Finally! Someone with some respect for her elders elders elders!" Well, he was awfully old, but you didn't think that old?

You were a little saddened by this at the lack of manners from others. You stood there and gave him a sweet smile, but you didn't get much of a reaction as he didn't know how to react this or why you were being friendly. He was shook with your kindness! Later, some passengers got off and the train was less crowded, so you took a seat down next to him.

"I'm (y/n)" You smiled and offered him your hand to shake.

"Charles Montgomery Burns, but you can call me Monty. Thank you for offering me your seat, (y/n)" He smiled and kissed your hand.

"It was no problem. I'm just surprised no one gave one up sooner" You weren't judging others, but you expected a little more from them, but then you didn't know this strange old man. "So where are you going?" You asked.

"Well, i have an important business meeting with my Shelbyville rival" He explained.

"Oh? What do you do?" You asked, intrigued with this conversation.

"Why, I'm the proud owner of the Springfield nuclear power plant" He stated proudly. "My lackey, Smithers usually drives me there, but as he's currently on vacation, i was forced to use public transportation"

"Interesting. I'm going to work myself"

"Over in Shelbyville? Where do you work?"

You told him about your job and that you had a job there as you were unable to find better employment in Springfield. It was a bit of a bother to take the train everyday, but it was a living. He liked listening to you, but still seemed surprised by your kindness and manners.

He was listening intently, when he was struck with a bright idea. "Are you seeking employment?" He asked.

"Uh, no, not particularly, why?"

"Well its just that if you don't enjoy this train journey everyday, i believe i may have a job opening at the plant, that is if you're willing?"

"Really? Well i guess i could come over and take a look see tonight" You beamed at the thought of this.

"Excellent" He smiled wickedly and tented his fingers. The train stopped and you both got off and went your separate ways, but you showed up at the power plant after work like you promised. You looked around as you entered and you were eagerly greeted by Burns.

"Ah! You're here for the job?" He asked.

"Well yeah, nuclear safety inspector i imagine?"

"Oh no, not with THOSE idiots" Mr Burns shook his head. "You see, i need a Secretary, and i ws impressed with your manners and acts of selflessness and figured you'd be capable"

You flushed with pleasure. "Oh, thank you! But wouldn't i need to do a secretarial course first?"

"Oh no, you're intelligent, you'll pick it up soon enough"

And with that, you quit your job and came to work for Monty. You were making more money as his Secretary and you were saving money as your work was closer. Montys assistant, Smithers came back from vacation eventually and wasn't too pleased to find how you were employed without his knowledge, but Mr Burns took no notice of him, his attention was focused on you. He enjoyed the respect you gave him and your beautiful smile and personality. He was amazed by how kind you were and the joy you brought in his lonely old life as you both grew closer. He knew what to do, but wasn't sure of how you'd react, but decided to make the bold move to confess to you one day.

It was one day after work, you were about to leave, when he caught up with you and started telling you how he appreciated your help here. You listened to him and his flattering words with a blush.

"Well thank you, Monty for providing me with employment" You smiled.

"Of course, you've brought a new light into my life, Miss (l/n), which reminds me, i got something for you " He announced as he dug his hand deep into his pocket to look for something, his tongue sticking out a little. "Ah hah! Here you are, dear" He saidaffectionately as he presented you with a beautiful, sparking necklace!

Your eyes sparkled like the piece of jewellery as you were bedazzled! "T-thank you, sir" You grinned and tried it on.

"You look excellent, my dear. I have something I'm dying to say to you" He looked a little nervous.

"What is it?"

"Well, in all my years, i have never quite met someone as generous as you who treats me as you do, you are lovely beyond words! What I'm trying to say to you is that...i guess i am in love with you"

You blinked twice at looked at him in disbelief. His old heart stopped for a minute longer than it usually does as he feared he may have scared you off, but that wasn't the case. You threw your arms around him and hugged him! He was speechless! "Oh, Monty, you don't need to try and buy my love. You already have it" You whispered and he beamed widely and put his arms around you.

"I do? I do! Oh, joyous day! He cheered. Work was never going to be the same for you again, but that wasn't exactly a bad thing :)
