Jayce, have I ever cared about what other people think?
[He'd wear the red marks on his neck into a Council meeting, at this point. Of course, it's very easy to say when he's so far removed from it (perhaps he would not be so bold, if it was a real possibility), but Viktor is riding high on the way Jayce has pledged himself to him, and it's not difficult to envision a scenario where he flaunts that in front of a room of Piltover's elite. Let them know just who their golden boy belongs to.
Here, it matters even less, so he has no real issues with the fact that his tie and collar won't cover everything. It isn't as if his and Jayce's closeness is a secret, and he imagines most of their friends won't be surprised to hear of the logical progression of their relationship.
He still feels a little guilty. A little selfish. He doesn't think that will go away, especially if his health takes a further turn for the worse, but Jayce has made it clear that they're going to weather this together, no matter how it ends. Jayce kisses him and then makes himself comfortable in the crook of his neck and Viktor wraps arms around him, content to let the moment linger until Jayce starts to move again.]
I'm going to need a little more than a wet rag this time. [He'll get out of bed too, fully intending to head back to the bath and rinse. It surprises him, that Jayce wants to talk boundaries now, but perhaps it's better if they get it over with.] I don't have anything specific in mind. I just don't want to be disturbed while I'm working on something important.
[So, nothing too out of the ordinary, or different than what they're both used to. They both know, however, that Viktor is starting to cave on a few things, so Jayce might naturally have some success with casual affection in the lab.

He's absolutely not going to say as much.]
