He supposes he can't begrudge Jayce any of this. Feelings aren't exactly rational, much of the time. If he was jealous, then he was jealous. Here, however, Viktor is more than aware that they're only together because of their distance from everything back home. He's not sure this would be a reality, if they were continuing along their original timeline. All the more reason to cherish this while he can, though he's under no illusions that the very specific circumstances of this place are what allows them to openly love each other. Perhaps that should be enough.

"Our work makes me happy." It always has. He doesn't want Jayce to doubt that, ever. "You make me happy."

In spite of everything. In spite of the fact that he still feels selfish, for allowing himself this. But Jayce is so warm beneath him and so responsive that it's easy to forget everything outside the scope of the bed. It's tempting to continue to tease, palming Jayce outside the fabric of his underwear, but Viktor can't deny that he's right, so he slides his fingers under the waistband, maneuvering Jayce's erection out of his trousers.

"All of those things can be true at once." As in, Viktor wanting to fuck Jayce is not mutually exclusive to anything else. For now, he strokes his cock slowly, working him up, his lips slightly parted on Jayce's neck, wet and warm against him.
