[ Jayce does want to know everything about Viktor eventually, but he's having a great time learning them one by one like they're doing now. Each new reveal is exciting. This more falls under the category of his mindset that if they do have a future together, a real one, it'll lead to all the firsts they could ever ask for and more. But he's not going to bring that up now, because they are living in the moment. ]
That's exactly what I'm doing.
[ In response to him trying pet names out. Right on the money. Viktor doesn't sound like he hates it, but maybe is uncertain. It's not as if nicknames are new to them, Jayce has been calling him Vik and V as long as they've been friends, but that's friendship nicknames. Not relationship ones. Maybe he wants to try out these intimate names and see if any of them will fit in nicely with their new coupling. There's no harm in trying.
Jayce hesitates for a moment at the grunt because he can't tell if it's a good or a bad one, but Viktor would tell him to stop the moment he didn't like something. He knows that much. But he also might push himself more than Jayce typically would. For now, he decides to keep going, but at that same medium ground rather than going any rougher. He massages the back of Viktor's neck too, the shoulders and his biceps. He's been sleeping in a cart for over a week. None of it was comfortable. ]
Okay, so I admit, it's something my parents used to do. Call each other pet names and it seemed so sweet, and I thought when I was in love, maybe I'd find one I liked with my partner.
[ Jayce's parents did represent a good relationship to him, although purely from the point of view of a child, but his mother never got over his father. She never moved on, she focused all her attention on Jayce. And he's fairly sure he's going to be the same way. Not that he's going to ever say that to Viktor, who feels guilty enough for being with him despite dying. He is going to focus on the sweet aspect. ]
They used darling. I do think I like calling you love. I spent so long avoiding the word with you, it feels relaxing to use it so easily.
[ Jayce sounds calm and relaxed and it's because he is, he's doing great. He presses his fingers in to rub at the skin right next to the bolts, figuring that area doesn't get a lot of attention. ]

Do you hate it? Should I stop?
