Especially as a kid, Viktor lived his life in isolation due to his disability, with only you by his side. He met you as the neighbor‘s kid and you two became friends to the point you were the only one to hang out with Viktor, because all the other kids were freaked out by his disability. It was obvious that Viktor would develop his first ever crush on you, and vice versa. However, compared to any other "kindergarden" relationship, yours lasted long. For three years to be exact, before something… traumatic happened to you and you couldn’t come back home anymore, leaving a 14 year old Viktor extremely worried. The only thing you still had from Viktor was a small, colorful pendant that he handmade for you as a gift, and you carried it around until the present day.
It was progress day in Piltover and you had recently managed to escape the undercity and leave your traumatic past behind by joining the academy. Little did you know that Viktor was there too, which you found out from your new friend Jayce, who by the way had no idea you were acquainted with Viktor in any way. You wondered if Viktor still knew you. If he still thought about you sometimes, or if he was mad at you for disappearing into thin air…
You thought it was ridiculous to try and start a conversation with him now, but Jayce practically forced you. He wanted to see what that would look like between you two.
