Teenage timeline
Gomez Addams wasn't the only one who managed to charm their way into Isaac's clockwork heart. You did too.
In your own... weird way.
While he was a star student, praised by the teacher and known by the students when you preferred to keep your intellect to yourself. Studying in the silence of library, reading in the comfort of your dorm. enjoying your alone, quiet life.
What caught his eye was your fascination for all the things dead. Your little quirks, your worrying interests. He helped you in research, assisted when you were dissecting the animals you found dead on the side of the road, making snarky comments about how your hands shook when you were doing it.
Kisses came later, the midnight sneaking out of your dorm to the Iago Tower, to the Nevermore's graveyard or really to the any place where you wouldn't meet any normie.
When your English teacher presented Frankenstein for the first time he saw how your eye sparkled. He saw the look of utter fascination that came later. Heard the way you spoke to him, this quiet little—
Do you think it's possible?
Isaac already thought himself God. He made a clockwork heart that kept him alive, why not make Mary's Shelley work come to life?
With your back against his chest and your eyebrows knitted you laid on the old couch in the Iago tower, surrounded by the papers, biology books and journals. His focus was on the pages as you kept reading the notes in the dim light of lamp — it was way past the curfew, but there was no way either of you would leave now. Not mid the research.
