[ This really does feel like a natural extension of their relationship, and that was what Jayce expected it to be like. They've settled in together so easily in every other way. The reason things went wrong for them just before they came here is that they stopped leaning on each other the way they used to. And now they are again.
Jayce does suspect they'll have to talk about some things. Boundaries, Viktor mentioned they had to talk about those, and learn how to adapt to having this and their lives. Although Jayce personally feels like they should be allowed to indulge in this for a little while, give themselves permission to be happy together. As if he could stop now that he had Viktor in his arms. He comfortably keeps his arm around Viktor and looks down at him with so much love in his eyes. And he doesn't have to hold back anymore or hide it. ]
I will, don't worry. Go to sleep, V.
[ Jayce isn't that tired yet, but he assumes he will be as he relaxes. He will get a little time to look at Viktor's face while he sleeps. He's allowed now. He kisses Viktor's hand again and then holds it, rubbing his thumb along his knuckles soothingly.
Jayce does sleep but he is up by dawn every day, so there's no getting around that. He is very careful when he does need to get up, since Viktor looks genuinely conked out and in a deep sleep. It's so he can make sure Viktor's travel clothes will be ready to be cleaned, and he actually takes a few moments to clean Viktor's braces as well, since he's been traveling so much in general. He brings them back into the room so they're easy to get. Jayce puts together a little breakfast in case Viktor's hungry as soon as he gets up, they did really go at each other, and sets it to the side with some fresh water and juice.
Feeling accomplished, Jayce returns to bed. Jayce is gentle and careful to take his place back next to Viktor and curl him back up into his arms. He encourages Viktor's head onto his chest to rest there so his arm can hold him close to his side. It's nice to see Viktor sleeping this deeply and long, knowing his boyfriend to be a little more restless. He clearly needed it. Jayce drifts into a light doze, not fully asleep, but feeling comfortable until Viktor eventually stirs. ]
