[Viktor is willing to forgive Jayce's possessive talk because he's clearly caught up in the moment, but he wants Jayce to understand that the feeling is certainly mutual. Just as Jayce relishes this as a personal triumph, Viktor considers this an achievement as well. Jayce is fully his--there will be no further interference from the politics of their world. No danger of him straying from their goals. Viktor will make sure of that.
Jayce thrusts his hips forward with little fanfare and Viktor can't stifle the way he cries out, partially in shock but mostly in pleasure. His nails dig into Jayce's back as he rides it out, increasingly fervent thrusts threatening to white out his vision. Viktor's legs wrapped around him holds him in place at the apex of each thrust, even if he keeps to no discernible pattern. He does his best to hang on for the ride.]
Jayce--
[He repeats his partner's name back, just as desperate. Anything else he wants to say is muffled by the way Jayce's lips crash into his, everything tight and perfect between them.]
[ Jayce is beyond thought but he is reassured that Viktor is enjoying it, that the way he claws into Jayce's back and his legs latched around him make it clear they're on the same page. Not that he can even focus outside of needing relief, between Viktor's mouth and now his body. He comes right at the point he hears his name pass Viktor's lips and his hips keep moving until it starts to hurt from overstimulating.
He may have blacked out for just a second, it was the most intense orgasm of his life. When he comes to he is still buried deep inside of Viktor, pulling out of the kiss to take in deep sucking breaths. Jayce realizes then that Viktor is still hard against him and pushes himself up a little with a strong hand. Partially sitting up or just raising his torso enough, his other hand closes around Viktor's cock.
Surrounded in bliss he may be, but it isn't satisfying until he sees bliss on Viktor's face too, staring right at him from this vantage point. His hand uses the precum to make him very slick and he strokes him fast and firm, wanting him to get no real breath between the experience and the friction he needs. Jayce runs a finger along the underside of his head and then caresses the slit, aiming Viktor right toward his own chest. ]
Come, all over me, V, I want to drip with you, come on, now.
[Jayce gives Viktor no room to breathe. One second he's holding Jayce tight inside him, their lips crashed together desperately, the next there's air between them once more, but only so that Jayce can wrap a hand around his cock. He's already overstimulated, seconds from his own orgasm, and the sudden friction with no reprieve means his head is falling back onto the pillows, his toes are curling, and he's gasping for breath.]
Oh, fuck--
[It's barely audible, more of an exhale than anything else as Viktor has no choice but to ride out the last few moments, and this time he fully falls apart, coming in spurts, back arching uselessly. He lets out a protracted sob, one that cracks in the middle, then realizes what it sounds like and lets his forearm fall back against his face, an attempt to cover his mouth. But it's too late, and Jayce gets exactly what he wants out of Viktor, his hips pitching upward in aborted little thrusts, Jayce wringing every last ounce of pleasure out of him.
Too much. It's so much, and even after he finishes, every nerve feels like it's on fire. Any hope at keeping his composure, even superficially is lost as Jayce relentlessly brings him to completion.]
Jayce--Jayce, please--
[Stop touching him. Don't stop touching him. He doesn't know which would be worse.]
[ For someone who has been wrapped up in every little sound Viktor makes, feeding on it, this round between them has been particularly delicious. His lover has been unable to stop from being loud, for him at least, and lost in the desire and pleasure between them. Jayce is obsessed. He is watching his face as he swears and cries out and pushes into Jayce's hand. He is burning with satisfaction when he gets what he wants, another please, he is never going to stop being smut. Jayce moves back down now that Viktor's come on him.
He is still buried in him but no longer touching his cock as he softens, pressing their bodies together again and kissing him again, this time slow and loving. The roaring in his ears has come down and he knows this won't be comfortable for long, but he's not ready to let go of it. Despite still enveloping Viktor in his body, he doesn't slump all of his weight on him just because he's swimming in bliss. An arm holds him up from doing that. ]
That was so good, V, damn.
[ Good in bed is an understatement. They've both been in each other now and it was mindblowing. Jayce is going to want this so much he will have trouble concentrating, now that he's had it. But since Jayce is Jayce, he lifts his head to look at Viktor. ]
You're okay? I know I was rough.
[ It isn't his anxiety speaking, he's just trying to follow up with good communication. He knows that Viktor clearly was very into it, his legs around him and pleas were clear, but it was still very intense. ]
[Jayce releases him and there's immediate relief, even if he acutely feels the absence of his hand. It's for the best, he tells himself, because any more and he'd be simply overstimulated, plunged further into incoherence. Now, he comes down slowly, returning back to himself and to the feeling of Jayce's arms around him, holding him close.
Of course he's worried. Viktor can see it written all over his face, and his lips quirk upward slightly in response.]
I wanted it. [Viktor is still out of breath, pulling back only slightly from the kiss to reassure Jayce that he's just fine. Better than fine. His good leg is still hooked around Jayce's waist, his arms around his shoulders, which he uses as leverage to pull himself up, peppering wet kisses up his neck and the spot behind his ear.] You were perfect.
[ Jayce suspects that's the answer, Viktor was spurring him on very loudly, but it is a relief to hear the reassurance and settle into only contentment. His free hand grips Viktor's thigh and slides it up to where his leg is hooked, squeezing, he likes that he's locked Jayce in like this. He laughs out loud when Viktor leans up and kisses his neck and ear, happily tilting his head so he can have more access to both. It feels so good, these little affectionate touches after sex.
You were perfect. It'll never get old, having Viktor tell him these things, he shivers pleasantly from how it makes him feel. Jayce has never been so rough before but he can't deny it felt really good to let go. They took their passion to a new level. He nuzzles into the side of Viktor's head, kissing his ear too, hanging onto the bliss of a mindblowing orgasm and then the happy aftermath of being wrapped in Viktor's arms. ]
You have no idea how hot it was when you said please. It's a miracle I held it together.
[ He knows Viktor saying that is a rare occurrence, let alone twice, but he wants to make sure he knows that Jayce loved it, that it made him ridiculously turned on. Jayce smiles and when he shifts his arms he can feel a little sting in his shoulders where Viktor held on. He hopes to make him scratch up his back badly another time. ]
I don't want to move off you. [ He sighs, moving back his head so he can find Viktor's mouth again for a light kiss. ] I know I have to. Ten more seconds.
[ Still though. He is going to crush Viktor before long. He's not going to be able to keep having sex with him if he suffocates him by staying too long.]
[Viktor rolls his eyes in an attempt to gloss over the fact that he'd lost his composure and was genuinely begging, though they both know it certainly won't be the last time. He knows that despite what he's saying, his body is betraying him regardless, the way he's holding Jayce inside him more than enough indication that he enjoyed himself. And, of course, he's filing all this away for later--all the better to precisely calculate everything that makes Jayce come undone.
He does not actually count the seconds because he doesn't mind the weight of Jayce's body on his, but it's true that they have to move. As soon as Jayce is able to pull out, Viktor will scoot out from under him, turning on his side so that they can be face to face. In the meantime, he gives his chest and collar (what he can see of it, anyway) a little glance, taking in the bruises that have risen to the surface of his skin.]
You've simply ruined me. [A joke, of course. Viktor knows he actively encouraged this, and he'll be proud to wear the marks, but their relationship is still partially defined by teasing each other. This is no exception.] You're lucky I like it.
I know, it's going to be impossible to get enough of you.
[ Jayce will try very hard not to seduce Viktor at every possible moment, he respects they have other things to do, but it'll help when he can be free to put an arm around him or show little displays of affection all day. It'll fill that hole and he has wanted it for so long. He can't wait.
He does count the ten seconds before sighing and pulling out, but Viktor is already turned on his side and still snuggled in close to him, which is all he wants. Jayce smiles softly and slips onto his side too to look at him. When Viktor points out the bruises Jayce can't resist reaching out to caress his fingers along them, including where Viktor can't see so he knows there's more too.
He would be worried if he didn't know Viktor was teasing him and he flushes a little, dropping his hand down to rest over Viktor's hip, unable to stop touching him. This is too new, he can't help it. ]
I've never done any of that before.
[ Meaning he's never marked a lover, not yet at least, he doesn't know if Mel would have allowed it and she was the most recent person. It doesn't matter now that he's with the person he wants to spend the rest of his life with, who luckily indeed likes it. Jayce looks into his eyes. ]
Maybe it's because you're the only person I've ever been in love with. I feel possessive and protective and I just ....
[ His hand moves up to cup Viktor's face, caressing his cheekbone. ]
Want to make you happy. More than anything. And give you everything you deserve.
[Viktor already knows there will be some boundary negotiation--and likely some exasperation, when it comes to reining Jayce in, but he'd known this from the start. He's not out to change Jayce, because his eagerness and sincerity and the fact that he wears his heart on his sleeve is part of who he is. It's part of what Viktor loves about him, even if he's not very good at saying that in as many words. If this means he'll have to be slightly distracted from work every so often, well. He thinks he might like that.
Jayce is discovering new things that he likes, too, it seems. Viktor hopes to continue the trend.]
Not bad, then. For a first try.
[Moving, at this point, seems almost impossible, so he takes in the moment instead. He and Jayce are practically nose to nose, and there's a warm hand brushing against his cheek. He smiles, genuinely, enjoying their closeness--even the prickle of sweat drying on his skin and messy sheets doesn't bother him, at least not for now. He simply looks, instead, taking in the perfect planes and angles of Jayce's face, the gold-ringed hazel of his eyes, and his chest suddenly aches with the thought that all of this is his. Despite everything, despite all of the outside forces trying to pull them apart and turn them against each other, they've come back to this anyway. It seems almost ridiculous, now, that he denied himself the man in front of him for so long.
Jayce wants to make him happy. Viktor isn't so optimistic that he envisions much of a future outside of this moment, but for now it will be enough. If he gets to spend the time he has left just like this, it will be enough.]
[ Just in a day, so much has changed, and it's not that sex has changed them, although it has, significantly, considering how they know one another inside and out now. But it's also the freedom he feels to touch Viktor. He used to be so careful but now he isn't hesitating, it's as natural as he suspected it would be if he ever got permission. He might be persuaded to try not to seduce Viktor constantly at work (occasionally will happen), because he'll get little moments all day that will satisfy him. He can put his arm around him, run fingers through his hair, and have no fear that he'll be going too far. ]
People might notice. It's not all easy to hide.
[ Jayce did try in the start to put it in hiding spots since they wear enough clothes and he knows where it wouldn't show. But then Viktor urged him on and he went really off his leash on that one. He somehow manages to sound both apologetic and pleased. He doesn't know what to make of this urge, outside of that he wants everyone to know they're together. This is also true in general. He would probably scream it out the window if he didn't know that was ridiculous.
They've moved quicker to clean themselves before but Jayce doesn't mind staying sticky and messy longer, in fact he loves that Viktor is letting them both languish in it. Viktor is smiling at him and Jayce looks at his face with the same kind of admiration. His eyes, his cheekbones, the lips curved at him. Viktor looks happy. He really does. ]
Then I'll just have to keep it up. I finally have you. I've never been happier.
[ Maybe a streak of guilt will strike him at times, that he has something so beautiful when he has done some ugly things, but not right now. Jayce kisses him long and lingering, he is never going to get sick of these lips, that will be the hardest part of trying to be good. He puts his arm around Viktor and kisses his cheek, nuzzling down into the curve of his neck. He holds him in a warm hug, so thankful. Treasuring this moment. ]
Okay I'll get us something to clean up, and you can tell me what boundaries we have at work. I can't promise not to kiss you at all, but I can be reasoned with.
Jayce, have I ever cared about what other people think?
[He'd wear the red marks on his neck into a Council meeting, at this point. Of course, it's very easy to say when he's so far removed from it (perhaps he would not be so bold, if it was a real possibility), but Viktor is riding high on the way Jayce has pledged himself to him, and it's not difficult to envision a scenario where he flaunts that in front of a room of Piltover's elite. Let them know just who their golden boy belongs to.
Here, it matters even less, so he has no real issues with the fact that his tie and collar won't cover everything. It isn't as if his and Jayce's closeness is a secret, and he imagines most of their friends won't be surprised to hear of the logical progression of their relationship.
He still feels a little guilty. A little selfish. He doesn't think that will go away, especially if his health takes a further turn for the worse, but Jayce has made it clear that they're going to weather this together, no matter how it ends. Jayce kisses him and then makes himself comfortable in the crook of his neck and Viktor wraps arms around him, content to let the moment linger until Jayce starts to move again.]
I'm going to need a little more than a wet rag this time. [He'll get out of bed too, fully intending to head back to the bath and rinse. It surprises him, that Jayce wants to talk boundaries now, but perhaps it's better if they get it over with.] I don't have anything specific in mind. I just don't want to be disturbed while I'm working on something important.
[So, nothing too out of the ordinary, or different than what they're both used to. They both know, however, that Viktor is starting to cave on a few things, so Jayce might naturally have some success with casual affection in the lab.
[ If the hickeys don't do it, Jayce's mouth absolutely will. It is the natural reaction to being told Viktor doesn't care. Great! Then it's not a secret. And Jayce can not even attempt to be subtle while flashing his lovesick looks at his partner. Everyone wins. He would have felt similarly even back home. Maybe he would have been a little nervous to be so shameless, but he would've done it anyway. He's already said he wouldn't be afraid of people knowing their golden boy belonged to a Zaunite. Fuck them, frankly. But they don't have to worry about it here.
He has faith that the connection they share will remain no matter what happens in the future. He understands it won't always be this good, but he has never been in this relationship with the idea that it would be perfect. He's in it to the end, whether that's five months from now, or decades from now. Especially when they're embracing like this, close and content and happy. ]
I don't think we can share a bath but no time like the present to see how that goes.
[ Jayce smiles, he has to wash off too, but they might have to take turns. Or use the shower. Either way, he is not quite ready to unglue himself from Viktor. He'll have to tomorrow, and that is fine. They'll figure out how all this works once they go outside. He snags Viktor's hand and kisses the fingertips. ]
I promise that at least eighty percent of the time I will be good about that.
[That gets him to roll his eyes, but it's wholly affectionate.]
Fine. You have my permission.
[He wonders momentarily, what it might mean for their research and their business, if it become common knowledge that they're romantically involved, but it takes only a moment for Viktor to decide he doesn't care about that, either. Let them think whatever they want. All that matters is this bed, and Jayce in it.
It's hard to move, but he does, telling himself this is just a temporary intermission. They're definitely not both going to fit in the bathtub, but it might be funny to try. Viktor ushers them both out of bed, foregoing his crutch to lean on Jayce, instead. He's about to make a joke about how, as a mathematician, he should never be offered percentages--because he'll hold Jayce to them, of course--but he decides that for now, he's finished teasing.
Viktor stops them both in the doorway, turns Jayce to face him, and then bends him closer, craning upward just slightly so that they can meet in the middle.]
I do love you, Jayce. [Before he can answer (perhaps, on purpose), Viktor closes the last inch to kiss him slowly. Sincerely, hoping to drive the point home.] Very much. I hope you know that.
[ Jayce is happy to be leaned on and he likes that both of them seem to want to touch each other as much as possible. He slides an arm around Viktor's waist to make it easier for him to lean, but pauses when he does at the doorway, smiling down at him. He bends down exactly as Viktor wants, expecting a kiss, he doesn't expect that.
He'd been telling himself that he didn't care if Viktor never said it. He knows how he feels, he's showing Jayce constantly. Jayce feels loved, so he doesn't need the words, it's fine. Except when he gets the words, it's like the air has been sucked out of the room. Or the rest of the world doesn't exist because Viktor loves him.
His eyes go a little misty and he can't help it, his smile so soft, and he holds Viktor's close to him for a moment. Jayce kisses him again, just as sincerely. ]
Well if you love me. [ He kisses Viktor's nose. ] You'll have to forgive me for this.
[ Jayce leans down and sweeps an arm under Viktor's knees, careful so as not to hurt him, hoisting him up into Jayce's arms. He doesn't weigh that much so it seems extremely easy for Jayce to do this, and he grins at him, ear-to-ear. He carries him toward the bath and their ridiculous attempt to see how they can share. ]

I just don't want to be disturbed while I'm working on something important.
[So, nothing too out of the ordinary, or different than what they're both used to. They both know, however, that Viktor is starting to cave on a few things, so Jayce might naturally have some success with casual affection in the lab.
He's absolutely not going to say as much.]

Date: 2022-08-02 09:40 pm (UTC)[ If the hickeys don't do it, Jayce's mouth absolutely will. It is the natural reaction to being told Viktor doesn't care. Great! Then it's not a secret. And Jayce can not even attempt to be subtle while flashing his lovesick looks at his partner. Everyone wins. He would have felt similarly even back home. Maybe he would have been a little nervous to be so shameless, but he would've done it anyway. He's already said he wouldn't be afraid of people knowing their golden boy belonged to a Zaunite. Fuck them, frankly. But they don't have to worry about it here.
He has faith that the connection they share will remain no matter what happens in the future. He understands it won't always be this good, but he has never been in this relationship with the idea that it would be perfect. He's in it to the end, whether that's five months from now, or decades from now. Especially when they're embracing like this, close and content and happy. ]
I don't think we can share a bath but no time like the present to see how that goes.
[ Jayce smiles, he has to wash off too, but they might have to take turns. Or use the shower. Either way, he is not quite ready to unglue himself from Viktor. He'll have to tomorrow, and that is fine. They'll figure out how all this works once they go outside. He snags Viktor's hand and kisses the fingertips. ]
I promise that at least eighty percent of the time I will be good about that.

[He wonders momentarily, what it might mean for their research and their business, if it become common knowledge that they're romantically involved, but it takes only a moment for Viktor to decide he doesn't care about that, either. Let them think whatever they want. All that matters is this bed, and Jayce in it.
It's hard to move, but he does, telling himself this is just a temporary intermission. They're definitely not both going to fit in the bathtub, but it might be funny to try. Viktor ushers them both out of bed, foregoing his crutch to lean on Jayce, instead. He's about to make a joke about how, as a mathematician, he should never be offered percentages--because he'll hold Jayce to them, of course--but he decides that for now, he's finished teasing.
Viktor stops them both in the doorway, turns Jayce to face him, and then bends him closer, craning upward just slightly so that they can meet in the middle.]
I do love you, Jayce. [Before he can answer (perhaps, on purpose), Viktor closes the last inch to kiss him slowly. Sincerely, hoping to drive the point home.] Very much. I hope you know that.

Date: 2022-08-02 11:22 pm (UTC)He'd been telling himself that he didn't care if Viktor never said it. He knows how he feels, he's showing Jayce constantly. Jayce feels loved, so he doesn't need the words, it's fine. Except when he gets the words, it's like the air has been sucked out of the room. Or the rest of the world doesn't exist because Viktor loves him.
His eyes go a little misty and he can't help it, his smile so soft, and he holds Viktor's close to him for a moment. Jayce kisses him again, just as sincerely. ]
Well if you love me. [ He kisses Viktor's nose. ] You'll have to forgive me for this.
[ Jayce leans down and sweeps an arm under Viktor's knees, careful so as not to hurt him, hoisting him up into Jayce's arms. He doesn't weigh that much so it seems extremely easy for Jayce to do this, and he grins at him, ear-to-ear. He carries him toward the bath and their ridiculous attempt to see how they can share. ]
