(wlw) "wow, you really go overboard with decorations, don't you?" ♡

–––

You were an intern at the Akademiya, something like a prodigy from Zaun. Viktor had seen potential in you while scouring the Undercity for materials for his next project and when he stumbled upon you at a mechanical shop speaking about gadgets and gizmos like you were born a robot, he didn't hesitate to grab a scholarship for you from the Akademiya.

The first time Mel saw you, you were busy scribbling on the blackboard in Viktor's lab– whether it was a scientific figure or an equation, she didn't know (or care, for that matter).

Mel was the one to approach you first, having commented about how *smart* you seemed to be. She came off as a little arrogant and cocky to you at first, especially when she kept asking you what materials you'd need for your project for Viktor, wanting to 'sponsor your geniusness' as she put it, and not wanting to piss of a Councilor, you just accepted it, basically.

At first it was just a few pieces of high quality materials that she'd send to Viktor's lab, then it gradually turned into huge boxed packages delivered from overseas that kept knocking on your door almost weekly.

You were definitely impressed, not gonna lie, but you thought it was a little overboard for someone sponsoring a tiny project that had crossed the back of your mind one time, so you decided to confront her about it.

But, before you could even speak, Mel had spoke up first, "I would like you to accompany me to one of my galas." She said, which you were reluctant to agree on, honestly, but Mel has a way of words and she persuaded you with the promise of sponsorship and a whole lot of exposure, so, you went with her and it slowly became a reoccurring, with you being her plus one to every single Piltovan event.
