Yandere Counsellor X Mad Scientist Reader
🌗 Laurence was hired by a governmental project to slowly try and drag you away from the organisation. Your mental health had depleted and you had become seriously obsessional over your work.
It's not that the higher ups didn't want you to have credit it's called project (Last name) after all but if you were deemed mentally ill it's incredible harder to then prove to the public your discovery's are real and not fabricate by a broken mind.
So having a break then a healthy work, life balance was the goal!
🌗Session One went horribly: Laurence suggested taking a five minute break every hour but you told him right off. Yelling about how juvenile breaks are beneath you when you're on the break of a scientist discovery.
🌗Session Two was better: Laurence let you info dump about your work. This lead to him learning more about you too. You had a Obsessive Behaviour, A saviour Complex and traces of a anxiety disorder. He could work with that. What stuck with him most of all was the saviour complex, you truly thought that until you get this breakthrough doing anything else was selfish. You've lost friends, family members. It made Laurence sad, he wants to help you.
🌗Session Three was a middle ground: You were waiting for results, staring intensively at the computer. "So (Reader). You're the only one here today, right?" You don't look at him just nod. "So if you leave nobody else can get in?" He was greeted with another nod. "You have two hours to wait till that's complete, how about we go in a walk?" You snapped your head at him but didn't say anything. "Around the building." You stated, you weren't straying too far. Laurence smiled "Around the building."
You two ended up walking to the vending machine. He puts a note in and tried to get a sweet treat however it got stuck. "Aw damn it." He cures under his breath. It's not that he's got a sweet tooth but the loss of money bugs him. To his suprise you took out your wallet and put more money in. You put the same code in and the treat drops. You handed it to him before walking back to the lab. "Thank you!" He cheers.
After that he could tell you were a little closer but not overly.
You would info dump or take onboard what he said but he still can tell you won't take a real break.
🌗Session six was bad for Laurence: He was near one of your chemical enhanced plants. You had made a vile of acid that helps push a plants natural need to grow through any environment. "If I can push through just a little more, this could stop world hunger!" You excitedly say, "But there's one issue." Laurence was leaning on a wall with a notebook in one hand, taking notes. "Hmm?" He feels you poke his head. "Your brain feeds off glucose that comes from food so if you get mutated glucose to your brain we don't know what would happen." Laurence was surprised by your closeness, it wasn't endangering more condescending. "So we need a mutated plant to produce fruit with low traces of the acid." You go back to your fourth containments with plants in. One is raining and damp, the other was humid another was freezing and the last was moderate. You watched all the plants so intently, you truly did love your work.
Laurence steps closer, he did notice how the damp environments dirt was almost purple like. He watched you go grab your laptop. You had viles, and viles of the acid in little stands but it was truly devastating when you knocked into some. You ran to grab gloves which was the correct protocol but you heard Laurence curse. Not only had he picked glass with his bare hands, some acid traced glass had cut him.
You were worried about him but you couldn't communicate it. You starting yelling at him about how this was a dangerous and stupid decision. You know he should be quarantined, studied but you've grown attached. You didn't want to do that to Laurence, you're hoping you can monitor him in your sessions.
🌗 Laurence watched how you bangded him up intentionally.
You didn't say anything before letting him leave, at first he thought you were angry at him till he realised you're protecting him. Laurence wondered back to his empty house, when he gets home he runs a bath. He keeps his hand out of the bath as he ingulfes himself into the water. Laurence unravels his bandage to see his wound there's a purple hue around his spilt skin. He assumed it'd be fine, he didn't feel any different.
He thought he didn't at least.
Laurence was trying to sleep that night and couldn't stop thinking about you, about how kind you were to him, how merciful you were. It plagued his head until he couldn't even think about sleeping anyway, he also thought how unfair it was you struggle so much with your mental health. He wants to fix you. Cheesy he knows but he wants to cure you.
🌗 Session seven was awkward: Both of you were at a standoff. You were trying to see any symptoms on Laurence and Laurence was trying to push for you to have a break.
Laurence steps back when you shine a light in his eyes "I'm starting to feel like the client now." He tries to crack a joke but you don't smile. "I think your paranoia is spiraling. You should take some time outside, fresh air is good for you." You lean forward a bit, your brows firms "Your pupils are dilated." You stated. "I really think your imaging things."
Even when you know he's infected you still let it manifest, you knew it had gone too far when he was outside your house at night...
