TW: some mention of violence and injury

-

MC would usually wake up alone. Victor was a man who stuck to a schedule, waking up at an ungodly hour to work out. And though she appreciated it, MC would have already gone to sleep late enough. So, she adjusted to his schedule, usually meeting him a few hours later. On the rare occasion though, she would wake up with his alarm.

As Victor sits up in bed, MC watches his back as her tired eyes adjust to the light shining through their bedroom window. She reaches out her arm and grabs his hand.

'Victor...' She hears him laugh softly.

'Go back to sleep.' he says turning towards her, touching a hand to her cheek.

'Stay with me.' She placed her hand over his, falling into his touch. 'Skip your routine, come sleep a little longer.'

He sighs but can't find the will to say no.  'Just this once,' he says, retaking the spot beside her.

'Like you haven't skipped something for us before.' He pulls her closer and presses a kiss to her lips.

'I won't admit anything.'

After breakfast, (made by MC, a 'thank you', she told him) the two got changed for their day. MC's would be spent at LFG, as she did so every so often, to help with their work or hand in her reports. As she smooths out the skirt of her dress, she catches Victor as he steps out of the bathroom, his tie hung around his neck.

'Let me!' She says happily and ties it for him.

'You do this so often...it's rewarding for you isn't it?' he smirks.

'I don't know what you mean.' She says quickly. 'I'm just being helpful.'

'Well,' He lifts her chin, bringing his face so close that she feels his breath on her lips. 'I appreciate it either way.'

'Victor, look at the time!' MC quickly pulls away, hiding her bright blushing face behind her arm. 'We have to leave!'

'Dummy.' He laughs to himself as follows her out the room.

-

'Are you ready?'

At the end of the workday, Victor was the one to find MC as she scribbled down the last of her notes for the day.

'Just about!' She gave him a smile, slightly tired, but still as bright as the sun in the sky. 'I just need my-'

He hands her her bag. 'Oh, thank you! Right, let's go home?'

'I wanted to take you somewhere first.'

'Oh?' They walk together, into the elevator as he hits the button for the first floor. 'Where are we going?'

'It's a surprise.'

'I didn't think you were a 'surprise' person, Victor.'

'And what's that supposed to mean?' he asks, glaring back at her.

'Nothing!' She smiles, innocently. 'I'm excited to see where you take me.'

MC held tightly onto his hand as they crossed the park. Their date went on longer than they thought. After spending time at the summer festival in Loveland's square, they walked to the park to see the fireworks. From the corner of his eye, he sees her yawn as the two wait at a crosswalk.
