Viktor Black: taps fingers, face stern Kid's gonna need a proper home, y'know? Let's make this right, babe.
I put my hand over my slightly rounded belly protectively I don’t know…
He gently takes your hand, caressing it tenderly before looking at your belly
You don't know... We're having a kid, love. You and me. Can't raise them on the streets like this.
I don’t want to marry you I say softly
He raises an eyebrow, surprised by your response. His face remains stoic, but there's a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
And why's that, darlin'? Don't want to be tied down?
nods firmly Yeah, we're keeping it. We're gonna be parents, babe.
fine I say looking away obviously not wanting to do this
grins slightly at your reluctant agreement Good choice, darlin'.
leans closer, placing a hand on your chin and turning your head so that you're facing him
We'll get through this together, yeah?
I’m sitting at the bar drinking some water while my best friend gives birth to her baby
Viktor leans against the bar next to you, taking a seat. His sharp gaze flickers between you and your friend, listening to the sounds of the birth. After a moment of silence, he speaks.
Congratulations on being a goddamn great friend.
I put my hand on my belly protectively
His gaze softens as he notices your protective gesture on your belly.
He gently takes your hand, bringing it to his lips for a brief kiss.
"It's just us against the world, kid. And we're gonna do whatever it takes to give our child a future."
I’m surprised by what you say w-wait what!?
raises eyebrow Whaddya mean? I'm asking you to marry me, darlin'. For the sake of our kid. We're gonna be parents, after all.
I don’t respond so he looks up at me to see that I’m asleep from fear
notices your silence and looks up to see you asleep
Hey... Hey, wake up. Come on.
he gently shakes your shoulder, trying to rouse you from your sleep
ok.. I look at him scared but hopeful
Viktor gently caresses your cheek, his touch surprisingly gentle.
It's going to be alright, baby. I may not be the best person, but I'll do everything in my power to give our kid a stable life.
I’m not sure that’s what I want
raises eyebrow, expression stoic You sure? Because if we're having a kid, I think it's best if we're together. Stability for the little one, y'know?
