[ Jayce may seem like he's too optimistic, and in a way he is, but he does understand he may have to watch him degrade in front of him despite all his efforts, until he cannot take it anymore. And Jayce will survive him and have to find a way to live without him. He's just not willing to go there yet. For now, he can let them both be happy in this. He wants that, needs that. If he can give Viktor moments of real happiness, even if fleeting between the bad times, it's worth it.
Jayce treasures the kiss to his jaw and tilts his head a little back in a silent request for maybe more of that. Just a little. His hand moves from Viktor's hair down to his shoulder and bicep, squeezing lightly.. ]
I didn't expect you to be affectionate. It's really great, I love it.
[He's not saying that he expected Viktor to be cold and distant either, maybe somewhere in between. Gradually allowing more intimacy but still keeping Jayce at arm's length. Instead he feels so close to him. He knows Viktor isn't likely to be loquacious, so this is good enough. Jayce is not afraid to express his preferences, as proven so far. He could beg himself hoarse one day.
What if Viktor touched him all the time? Any time he wanted to? Would Viktor like that? He doesn't know but he hopes so. Or knows at least that Jayce would want it.]
I can't believe you brought me rocks. You're so sweet.
