[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. ]
