extension of this drabble
this is very āby me, for meāš so reader may not cater to everyone, forgive my self indulgence. IT ENDED WITH ANGST IāM SORRY. THIS IS PART 1, THERE WILL BE MORE I PROMISE
You had been working for Silco for a few weeks now, and to be quite honest you liked your job. He treated you well, the pay was good, and considering you lived in Piltover it was nice to see a whole other world that you never knew much about.
Silco had taken a special liking to you- it was clear to anyone no matter how hard he tried to hide it. Letās just say he liked to keep you on a short leash. He felt more comfortable when he had you at his side, more at ease. Of course, you were such a sweet little thing you never even noticed. Heās very nice to you- maybe heās just a great boss, right?
He initially had planned on having you as more of a trophy, not really expecting you to do any real work. But much to his surprise you took your job seriously. On your first day youād walked in with your own satchel bag, notepads and pens at the ready for whenever he needed you. Having people at his disposal was a common thing for him, of course. But having someone be so eager to work for him? It made his chest stir in ways he hadnāt felt in years.
When you were in the room, his eyes were always following. He couldnāt help it. You were like a swan surrounded by geese- you stood out beautifully compared to everyone else in the Undercity. Whether it be your topsider clothing or your kind features, it didnāt matter. You kept his gaze all the same.
One thing he adored about you was your clothing to be honest. Everything you wore was soft and clean, nothing like the others. You werenāt here to fight, so no need to dress like it, right? You were oblivious to how often he had to kick someoneās head in before walking back into his office to give you a faint smile and nod before discussing business. The first time you wore a turtle neck he swore his heart stopped. A brown turtle neck with earthy green pants and brown boots. When you saw the look on his face as you pulled your jacket off, you paused.
āIām sorry- I meant to ask you if Earth tones were okayā you say softly, gaze laced with worry that youād done something wrong. āI can go home and change if itās not the office attire you had in mind-ā you start to say, but he quickly cuts you off.
āItās fine.ā He says simply, but his heart was hammering in his chest. āWe donāt have a dress code.. just as long as you look nice.ā I murmurs before he takes a puff of his cigar, trying to seem nonchalant- but in reality, he didnāt ask anyone else to look nice. Only you.
His words made a smile form on your lips, as sweet as always. āOf course- I think I can manage that.ā You say sweetly.
He had gotten you your own desk in his office of all places. He always wanted you within arms reach if possible. Anything you requested he got for you. Although he had to make it seem like he was begrudging about it, in reality he had it ordered within a day.
You had been sitting at your desk, sorting a few papers into different folders before glancing over at him. āDo you think.. maybe I could have a filing cabinet?ā You said softly, your voice quiet but he heard it clearly throughout the silent office.
āWhatever for?ā He muttered with faux annoyance.
āWell- it would make keeping track of the files a lot more convenient. I can make them more easily accessible for you that way.ā You say tentatively. āThat is- if you plan on keeping me for long enough to set it all up.ā
Heād tensed at your last words- the thought of you leaving making his blood pressure spike. āIāll see what I can do.ā Letās just say you had a filing cabinet next to your desk the next day.
Heās always hesitant to have you do any work that involves you talking with other people. Youāre not used to how rough they are, and heād hate for his favorite little assistant to get dirtied by some street rat. He does find that you do well with his other workers. Itās often the same case as him- they have to maintain their image, so they act like they donāt like you. But in reality they do appreciate a non threatening presence every once in a while.
He had snapped at one of his men that were rude to you, even though you had simply smiled and taken it before making yourself scarce. He came up to you later and told you heād āhandled it.ā
āAssistantā he murmurs as he walks into his office, slamming the door behind him. You were sitting at your desk with your sleeve rolled over your hand, resting at the corner of your eye as you keep your gaze on your paperwork. You mightāve shed a tear or two.. who can blame you? These people were much scarier than you were used to. Silco certainly didnāt. He walks over to your desk, standing next to the filing cabinet and leaning against it while taking a puff of his cigar. āThe moment someone has a problem with you, they have a problem with me.ā He says quietly, his tone laced with a little layer of venom. āBe a good boy and let me know the next time someone misbehaves, hm?ā
One night you end up staying in the office later than you had expected to, grabbing your bag and heading out the door. When you realize how late it is you hesitate, seeing how the streets were full of all kinds of.. people. Lucky for you Silco was just coming back from some business, raising and eyebrow when he sees you outside by yourself at that time of night.
āAssistant?ā He questions quietly as he slips out of the alley way and into the light. You flinch slightly, but quickly relax and smile when you see that itās him.
āHow was your meeting?ā You say sweetly as you stand in the doorway to his office, completely unaware that his āmeetingā was just settling a score or two.
āBusiness as usualā he murmurs as he moves to stand at the bottom of the small step. āAnd what, might I ask, are you still doing here?ā
When heās only a few inches in front of you, you feel your face flush slightly. You smiled wider, hoping he wouldnāt notice it. āI didnāt realize how late it had gotten.. I suppose Iāve gotten used to you kicking me out at quitting timeā you chuckle.
āHmā he hums as he glances around, noticing the stragglers wandering down the dark streets. āIāll walk you home.ā He speaks, leaving no room for argument. You couldnāt refuse, could you? So you simply followed him down the winding streets.
āIām sorry to make you walk me all the way up there..ā you murmur faintly as you both stroll along at a leisurely pace. It was easy to walk without fear when he was next to you.. no one would dare come up to you- or him, for that matter. āBut I really do appreciate you.ā
He doesnāt miss the way his heart skips a beat when he hears your words. āYou.ā You couldāve easily said āI really do appreciate it.ā But you said āYou.ā It drove him up the wall knowing how the smallest things you did and said made him feel like a teenager again. āWhat kind of man would I be if I didnāt walk you home..ā he murmurs while taking a puff of his cigar.
And of course, his words make your heart skip a beat too. He couldāve easily said ābossā instead of āmanā. But he didnāt. He saw himself as more than your boss. You liked that. More than you thought you would. You felt stupid for letting yourself get worked up something so simple.
Once heād walked you to the elevator that led up to Piltover, you both stopped at the door. Keeping your eyes downcast shyly, he couldnāt help but let his eyes trail over you, hands slipping into his pockets as he tosses his cigar and steps on it, oozing as much confidence as usual. It was hard to hide the way your cheeks were burning slightly. When was the last time a man was nice enough to walk you home?
He knew youād be safe from here.. no sense in going up with you. He starts to turn away to slip back into the dark streets, but before he can you grab his arm, keeping him from leaving. He tenses, slowly looking over his shoulder to meet your eyes, his eyebrow raising questioningly.
When you realize what youād done you quickly let go of him, but not before straightening out the sleeve of his shirt. āIām sorry.ā You say quickly. āI just-ā you add, trying to think of something reasonable to say. When you canāt think of anything.. you decide to settle for the truth. āYouāre a really.. good man.ā You say gently as your eyes meet his own.
The second you had grabbed his arm, every nerve in his body was on fire. Youād barely touched before, and it was something he didnāt know he needed so desperately. When he hears your words, he canāt help but stay quiet for a moment. He couldnāt remember the last time someone had said he was good, let alone complimented him. And your honesty? He adored. He didnāt know anyone that dared be honest with how they felt. āI donāt think you know me very well if you think that.ā He says quietly, trying to make his voice uncaring. His eyes glance down at his sleeve where youād just touched him.. he swore he could still feel your hands on him.
āYouāre kind to me.ā You say softly. āAnd you listen. Youāve never yelled at me- not to mention you walked me all the way over here..ā you murmur.
He could hardly believe his ears. Yes, he had been especially nice to you. But for someone like you? That should all be the bare minimum. āDo you always get emotionally attached to your employers?ā He snaps, taking a few steps away from you.
Your heart freezes at his tone, quickly taking a step back yourself. āI.. I thought-ā
āPerhaps you should try to be an adult.ā He says firmly as he adjusts his shirt where your hands had been. āWhatever youāre thinking- get it out of your head. I donāt pay you to think, do I?ā He mutters coldly as he starts walking down the alleyway.
Leaving you standing there was one of the hardest things heās done. He couldnāt show weakness. He couldnāt let you worm your way into his heart. But you already had. And heād just ruined it all.
