First date ft. Viktor from Arcane
CW; reader is briefly called pretty (they're also called handsome in the same sentence), modern college AU, male reader intended, 2nd POV
Viktor was nervous, to say the least, but he was confident in his plan. Having known you for so long, he knew a quiet night together away from studying and work would benefit the both of you. And he knew the time alone would greatly please the both of you.
The line between friends and more was always a bit blurred between the two of you, but recently Viktor had grown frustrated with the dance the two of you had, so he had asked you out on a date. He had asked you to leave the planning to him, he merely asked you to keep your Saturday night free for your date together.
Viktor refused to share any detail on what he had planned, but the glint in his eyes told you he had something up his sleeve. Usually, you’d make a joke and tease him, but something about his smile made you let it go. He was just so cute when he was excited.
Viktor had come up with the plan to take you to the planetarium. He had made a deal with a friend to let him use the planetarium when it was supposed to be closed. He knew he could take you to some field and see the stars there, but he figured it’d be more comfortable for the both of you, plus his leg provided an extra layer of difficulty. And at least this way, he was sure the two of you would have privacy.
He was definitely nervous. He felt this date would determine which side of the line the two of you would remain on, and he hoped with everything in him that the two of you would begin dating after that night. At the very least, he wanted you to enjoy this date, and he was going to make sure you enjoyed your time with him.
He had gotten to the planetarium before you. He planned to set out some things, a little speaker, a blanket, and, of course, a basket full of snacks and some takeout. He also had to learn how to use the projector, courtesy of a crash course from his friend, and some extra notes as a reminder for later.
He definitely got Jayce, or a mutual friend, to take you to the planetarium wanting the location to remain a secret until you got there. He wanted to keep you on your toes.
Meeting you outside, he greeted you with a pretty bouquet. He had no idea what flowers you would like, or if you even had a favorite, so he got a mixed bouquet that included followers that were your favorite color.
He stumbled over his words when he first saw you, he had told you there was no need to dress formally and to just wear whatever was comfortable for you, but that doesn’t mean seeing you dressed for your date made him any less breathless. He always found you handsome, pretty, it didn't matter what you were wearing or how you looked, he always found you attractive.
He was so incredibly content having you here with him, he was happy to know that the two of you could reciprocate feelings more openly.
Helping you get comfortable in the dark was a lot more nerve-racking than Viktor expected, but he definitely didn't hate holding your hand to lead you toward the blanket he had set out.
Viktor was definitely rambling at this point, but it was endearing, especially when he tried to ensure you were comfortable. Not wanting to embarrass himself anymore, Viktor made his way to the projector.
You could hear Viktor shuffling away. “I'm, uh, not an expert on this, so we shall see how this goes,” Viktor mumbled nervously. Just from his voice, you could tell he was making one of his humorous expressions.
“This isn’t my area of expertise, but please, enjoy the show,” he joked, and suddenly the ceiling lit up.
A starry night sky was projected onto the ceiling. You would never be able to see the sky like this outside in the city, it was beautiful, and you voiced the thought. “I know,” Viktor whispered from next to you.
“You said you missed the stars, so I… thought of this.”
