[That gets him to roll his eyes, but it's wholly affectionate.]
Fine. You have my permission.
[He wonders momentarily, what it might mean for their research and their business, if it become common knowledge that they're romantically involved, but it takes only a moment for Viktor to decide he doesn't care about that, either. Let them think whatever they want. All that matters is this bed, and Jayce in it.
It's hard to move, but he does, telling himself this is just a temporary intermission. They're definitely not both going to fit in the bathtub, but it might be funny to try. Viktor ushers them both out of bed, foregoing his crutch to lean on Jayce, instead. He's about to make a joke about how, as a mathematician, he should never be offered percentages--because he'll hold Jayce to them, of course--but he decides that for now, he's finished teasing.
Viktor stops them both in the doorway, turns Jayce to face him, and then bends him closer, craning upward just slightly so that they can meet in the middle.]
I do love you, Jayce. [Before he can answer (perhaps, on purpose), Viktor closes the last inch to kiss him slowly. Sincerely, hoping to drive the point home.] Very much. I hope you know that.
