Ever since Viktor got shot in his chest you've been covering for him at the bar. Mitzi needs all the help you can get and with you behind the heart of the helm business has been a little better.

"Is his majesty still re-cooperating?" Zib walks over pulling out a bar stool, signaling two drinks. As you slide over two shots of coffin varnish he swigs. "That'll never go down easy, but looking at you almost makes it worth it." He grins slumping around the bar exhausted bags heavy under his own eyes.

Cleaning his glasses, rolling your eyes. "Zib if I needed another meaningless compliment I'd go walk around town." Zib chortling.

"Baby, baby, my words are never empty not for you." He pulls out a wilted flower from the vase next to him, on its last legs barely clingy to life. "Taking the flower you giggle.

"Oh Zib is truly an idiot." Putting the flower back in the vase. "This needs sun, and dirt, not some limestone delight."

Walking it up to take the carefully wilted vase outside so the flowers can try to thrive. Zib following behind you trying his best to convince you.

"Just one date, just one, it's all I'm begging for." Continuing walking you emphasize. "Zib you know I can't do that. I have things to do and ever since Mordecai left I've had to take care of the finances and I have to supervise everything and everyone." You scrunch your face

As you walk up to the cafe you see Wick entering. Eyes lighting up "WICK UHH- Hello- what can I do you for." Fumbling your hands around almost dropping the vase.

Wick smiles acutely, "actually I was here to see you Y/n."

"YES?!" You exclaim excitedly. Zib rolling his eyes lighting a cigarette. "Yes pretty boy what can we do you for, want a little fun or just to get hammered like last time."

Wick takes off his hat, setting his cane on his arm. "Unfortunate, no lady should see that. My apologies for that Y/n." Gritting his teeth spitefully "THANK YOU FOR THE REMINDER ZIB!"

Giggling to yourself, covering your hand over your mouth. "Well yes what would you like?"

"Perhaps we could talk outside? Where unwanted company is not near." Zib sticking his tounge out. Blowing the smoke in Wicks direction.

Following Wick outside him offering you an arm.

-

"Yes Wick?"

"Y/n, I've been meaning to ask this for a long time now..." He circles the rim of his hat grasping it in the clutches of his nerves.

He closes his eyes, "Would you like to accompany me on a romantic evening of sorts?" popping one open to see your reaction.

Standing there stunned and shocked at this anticipated question.

"Yes..." Whispering covering your mouth from your comically large smile. "WHERE-" Voice cracking, "where do you plan on taking me?"

"Well actually I am hoping to take you out tonight, and-" hearing a bang on the little cafe window to our right, we see Zib pushing his whole body on the window smearing it with fur and lickinging the window making crude gestures at Wick.

"Shall we go?" Walking me to his car, opening the door for you. "We shall." Your lips purse into a smile.

Wind in your hair listening intently to the radio blasting while Wicks eyes smile through his shades. You were completely content.

When we get to Wick's Manor, he excitedly brings me in. "Y/n you don't understand how happy, this is making me." He kisses my hand going up to my arm.

"Mhmm-" giggling he embraces your whole body behind you. "Ahh- Wick, Wick- let's just continue the date yeah?" You take his hands off of you patting then to his side.

Sweating, eyes going nervous. "OH, umm yes, yes. How should we continue?" He shakes off his sleeves in intense shaking and fear.

Taking his hand in yours, "take me to your favorite place in the house?" An idea springing into your mind.

Eyes lighting up and an incredibly toothy grin you can see a lightbulb. Taking your hand and running upstairs, he takes you to a huge room filled with books and desks in the middle a true marvel from a fairytale, downplayed by the huge amounts of messy papers and Booze bottles by the dozen. But overall incredibly impressive and beautiful.

"Sorry for the mess." He pushes all the bottles off his desk. "My secretary hasn't come and cleaned it this week, she's on vacation visiting some family." He nervously laughs.

"By all means please please sit down." Chucking not only all the bottles but the endless supply of paper throwing it across the floor.

"Really now Wick." Laughing as he pulls the chair out for you, "If I would've guessed properly you are the sole reason half our national forests have gone." Flicking a piece of paper off his desk.

Pulling out a bottle of refined Whiskey. And two glasses crystal, craved with the most lovely designs of swirls and flowers. "Hehe, well I pride myself on work, I genuinely love it." Swirling his cup, taking a generous swig from it.

Drinking out of such a gorgeous glass, "Golly, Wick this is the good stuff." Taking another big gulp. "Well I should hope you're used to it by now, after all you work the Daisy distillery." Pouring more into your now empty glass.

"Well Mitzi, has us watering down everything we own," you look away embarrassed of your own predicament with such a wealthy man in front of you. "If need be Y/n for you I'd help out in a second-"

"Not necessary Wick, I'm not looking for a handout for myself, plus I'm not here to talk shop, I would-" blushing, circling the rim of your drink, "Id like to talk about you instead." Looking quickly back up.

Wick blushing at your words. "HA-"

"?" A confused look popping onto your face. "Quite the Shakespeare you are."

"Sorry, I'm just-" stuttering his words. "I'm just, wow, you look so stunning-" Walking over to you taking your hand he manages to breathe out. "May I be frank with you Y/n?"

"Always." Clenching his hand tightly.

Taking a deep breath, "I- I believe it's my understanding you are the most wonderful person of your time, the most beautiful, and quick-witted, and astoundingly wonderful." Looking deep into your eyes.

Fixing his throat, and cleaning his glasses. "I know, Zib has feelings for you as well might I add." A twinge of spite in his sweet caramelizing voice. "I just don't want to ruin what you have but as a gentleman I must make my feelings known before you commit to anything."

'He was so sweet's is all you could think. This man may have been risking everything just to know you were happy and content with your choices. He could have you wrapped around his finger but he's giving you freedom instead of some gilded cage he believed he would've locked you under.

No words came out all you could do was embrace his face unto yours, lips sweet and tender with him immediately falling at your whim. Grasping the back of waist in a tight embrace.

Eyes locking together in nothing but admiration and excitement. "I quite like it here." Eyes totally fixated onto him. Hugging him and pecking the crook of his neck.

"I like you liking it here too." A wide grin was planted permanently on Wicks face holding you tightly never wanting to let go."Would you like to look at my rock collection?" His face was transfixed into a loving glare.

Snickering you follow him up to his rock collection.
