Okay, now this is a tricky one. With a reader that’s into microbiology, bacteriology, or any other similar field, Wesker would probably find you worth keeping around.
He’s definitely attracted to intelligence more than anything.
100% intends to experiment on you to see if you can withstand Uroboros.
Most likely keeps you in the dark of what he’s using all this research for. Would cook up a believable story to keep you blindfolded.
If you find out and are unwilling to help him in his research, too bad, because he’s keeping you anyway.
Of course, if you’re all for it, even better for him and you. Less of a hassle.
Anyhow, he wouldn’t let that happen. He’d keep everything under wraps. Platonic or otherwise.
Borderline possessive in the sense that he’d pay you so well and allow you to access such a broad range of landscapes/resources that you wouldn’t otherwise, just to keep you working with him and only him.
On the contrary, if you are great in your respective field, expect clashes with his ego.
Whatever specimens you found would help him with his bioweaponry, which he likes. He could use them to further strengthen his own projects.
Though, he’d be to the point, and wouldn’t beat around the bush. He would make you wonder if he even had hobbies outside of his work.
He wouldn’t make small talk except for when he needs to string you along. Just to keep you curious and wanting more.
If you two were dating, he’d talk more. Otherwise, it’d be like he is with Birkin. Not an overly friendly situation. Just associates.
He would also find your research on extremophiles intriguing, because that’s more specimens for his bioweaponry and viral research to interact with.
Your research, focused on microorganisms that thrive in environments such as the Siberian permafrost, fascinates him because it touches on the limits of biological survival; Something he finds relevant to his own work with his plan of global saturation with the Uroboros.
He never acknowledges the darker side of Umbrella’s projects directly to you, keeping everything focused on "pure" science, but there’s always a slight sense that he’s hiding something. He enjoys watching you work with the specimens, often making the occasional calculated comment about their potential, though it’s always vague enough to avoid giving anything away.
Relationship-wise, definitely HEAVY on the slow-burn. He wouldn’t rush anything. You’d slowly start noticing the tension in his eyes, even behind those black lenses of his. He’d start being around more.
Rest assured that it’d be far from healthy– But that’s the fun with Wesker, I suppose.
If Uroboros worked on you, more reason for him to find you worth keeping. Do expect him to keep you under wraps, though. He can’t have anyone find out about his prized scientist.
