Mel and Viktor cuddling on the couch and reading, but always different books because they like completely different things.

Mel hugging Viktor from behind when he's cooking(because he knows how to cook trust)

Viktor teaching Mel how to cook. She's...alright at it.

Viktor and Mel playfully biting each other throughout like the day. They see it as a challenge of who can bite the other more. It's never hard enough to hurt, of course.

Viktor and Mel stargazing.

Mel and Viktor trying to be home every Saturday for date nights. It's something they've sworn to do unless something very important shows up.

Mel being a morning person but Viktor being half dead when he's forced to wake up at any time that ends with 'A.M'.

Mel letting Viktor sleep in until she's mostly ready because she knows he needs it.

Mel waking up Viktor with kisses. Viktor trying to push her away so he can sleep longer but he can't imagine a better way to wake up.

Mel and Viktor both sleeping in late on days they don't have to work.

Mel usually still waking up earlier but not getting out of bed and just watching and cuddling Viktor until she either falls asleep again or he wakes up.

Mel helping Viktor with his brace every morning. He could do it himself but he doesn't reallyyyy want to.

Mel and Viktor sassing each other. They pretend to be offended about it too but they both know they're faking.

Mel and Viktor looking at each other and just randomly bursting out laughing at some inside joke. It confuses everyone around them and they never bother to explain.

Mel and Viktor just-kissing each other. Pure love poured into every kiss they share throughout the day.

(these are all over the place. Also these are probably not gonna be accurate to them but it's a ship b/w 2 people that have interacted twice in the source material give me a break.)

Both Mel and Viktor are absolute workaholics, but Viktor is so so much worse. It's not uncommon for Mel to drop by to make sure he eats and sleeps and has done all the basic human necessities he forgets about.

She always brings some food with her though because she wants to be ready for when he hasn't eaten.

Viktor always huffs, "Do you have no faith in me?" but he not-so-secretly loves it.

She always keeps an eye on him too, stepping in when she thinks he’s pushing himself too far.

It goes both ways though.

After a particularly stressful meeting with the Council, Mel desperately needs a break. Viktor invites her to his lab for a quiet evening. It's just the two of them sharing a moment of peace as they talk about non-work related things: the weather, old books.

It’s a chance for Mel to relax without the weight of her responsibilities.
