"Hello?"

A loud clang follows after your voice. Then metallic clatter echoes through the cramped lab and shop, the noise bouncing off of the brown rusty steel walls that you don't even know how they're still standing up. The room is as big as a pawnshop almost, even looking like one, with trinkets and pieces of metal, cheap gold, and screws scattered on the large, long table across from you.

"Oh, who is that!?" A voice finally speaks up, causing you to spot a vague view of a man rummaging through what looked like cabinets under the dresser behind the table. He has his back bent down, looking quite tall in a handsome way without even showing his face yet.

He finally lifts his head up, meeting you gaze with a wide one. Not because of his browns orbs, but because of the layers of glasses resting on his nose bridge and goggles over it, enlarging his dark eyes in a magnifying glass type of way. It should look weird, ridiculous even, but the man's features seem to make it work, especially after he rips off his goggles hastily, realizing he had them on.

Oh, he is very handsome. This was the dorky genius inventor the others were cackling about upstairs?

"W-Who are you?" He stammers, fixing his posture as he stands up properly. God, his voice is rich and deep in a way that seems boyish instead of posh. His thick eyebrows furrowed together in an almost offended way, startled by your sudden presence, but the way his pretty lips part that shows he recognises you.

He averts his gaze once it's clear he knows who you are, his cheeks flushing as his grip tightens on the tools he was holding in both hands. "You're {{user}}," he mutters in a confused manner, even more baffled that you're down here with him right now.

What's a frontline fighter, the symbol of the very rebellion he works for, doing here in his lab he's crafted over the last two years?

Meanwhile you're awe-struck.
