[Whatever thought he was about to have dissolves into a muffled noise that he makes into the pillow. Jayce is kneading the tension right out of him, and he feels a little boneless as he works out the knots in his shoulders. When Jayce digs his thumbs into either side of his spine, Viktor lets out an involuntary moan of relief. It momentarily distracts him from the things he wanted to say, and gives Jayce the opportunity
Ah. So that's what this is about. He knows Jayce doesn't mean anything by it, but Viktor can't help but feel like there are some expectations, here, that come along with his various fantasies about their relationship. He worries his lip, adjusting his head on the pillow as he thinks about how he wants to phrase this.]
I don't dislike it. [It's just going to take him some getting used to.] But, we aren't your parents. You don't have to do something just because they did.
[Viktor would prefer the opposite, actually. He doesn't doubt that Jayce feels the way he says he does, but looking to a (presumably) happily married, long-term relationship as an example for theirs seems...inadvisable, in their unique situation. Perhaps he's just being pessimistic.]
