Work Text:
Viktor was awoken early in the morning by the sound of fireworks.
Yes, fireworks.
Inside the lab.
He sprung up quickly, doing his best to ignore the dizzy feeling as he did so and just barely managing to grab his crutch before he fell over. His eyes were wide in alarm as he looked over at the source of the noise.
Jinx had a party hat on and was excitedly setting off more fireworks, which went off before Viktor could intervene.
He was suddenly very glad their lab wasn't flammable.
"Jinx, it's..." he checked the clock on the wall. "It's midnight, what are you-"
"Happy lab-iversary, Vik!" she exclaimed excitedly, wrapping him in a tight hug that nearly knocked him down.
"Lab-i...versary?" he repeated back, confused. Jinx rolled her eyes.
"It's been one year since we started working together, silly"
"Ah..." Viktor nodded slightly. "Right"
"Sooooooo" she drawled. "What's the plan for today?" she asked excitedly. "Blow up the Council building? Start a commune? Finally kill your ex?"
"We are not killing Jayce" Viktor scoffed, earning a small chuckle from the woman.
"Touchyyyy" she teased him. "What's the plan, then? Since we aren't having fun"
"How about we just take a day off work, hm?" he offered up. Frankly, the thought of doing much else sounded far too fatiguing. "Maybe you could tell me one of your stories"
"Okay!" Jinx beamed, immediately setting into action for God-knows-what. "Yay!"
Lab-iversary, Viktor thought with amusement. She comes up with the silliest things.
