[He can see what Jayce means when he says he feels like it comes naturally. Watching him go from one spell to another, looking so pleased with himself, fills Viktor with a sort of pride. He has his own theories about the arcane, about how a lack of inborn ability does not necessarily mean they can't connect with the magical forces that exist in the world around them. Hextech is proof enough of that.

Viktor wipes his hands on a cloth napkin, takes his mug of tea in both hands and then settles comfortably against Jayce's side, leaning into him. He tilts his head upward and simply look for a few long moments, expression entirely fond.

Jayce. There's no memoir.

[Sure, all of the talk about it was clearly jokes, but just in case...]

You're biased. Plus, you'd enjoy reading about yourself too much, so I can't count on you for an impartial assessment.

[With regards to, you know, this hypothetical memoir that Viktor is never going to write. It's not worth doing here, when he hasn't made the same impact on this city as he has Piltover--not that they'd really want to remember him, anyway. Really, the only reason why he might want to do it back home is to secure his own legacy in one way or another, but as always he thinks he has better uses for his time.

Despite the events of the last week (and, for that matter, last night), it still feels like they have a lot to catch up on. Viktor isn't surprised when Jayce decides to start asking some of those unanswered questions.
]

I had suspicions. You're not very subtle. [But, there were so many ways to talk himself out of it. He didn't want to jeopardize their relationship. The work was too important. Then, he fell ill. It was easy to put it all out of his head.] Too much else in the way. Getting our work through the Council...I didn't want to distract myself. And, I don't know. Part of me felt that if I acted on anything, well. I had a feeling you would have said yes, and perhaps I was frightened of that.

[His face falls a little. Viktor doesn't think he needs to outright say anything about his declining health, but the truth of the matter is that sparing Jayce the worst of it was just as much of a factor as everything else.]

There was too much I needed to do. I thought that overcomplicating things between us would be...detrimental.

You never made me uncomfortable. I meant it, when I said our partnership is the most important thing in my life.

[Whatever form it takes, and he, too, wouldn't trade it for anything. Taking things a step further is exciting, and a little scary, and he still isn't sure how long it will last, but he knows that he'll be glad to have had the chance. He doesn't need to ask if Jayce feels the same way--it's written all over his face. For now, he enjoys their closeness, leaning into the hand that strokes through his hair. It's soothing. He's spent so long rejecting comfort that now that he can so openly enjoy it, he does so.

Jayce reaffirms what he already knows, but Viktor still feels a pang of remorse. He wasn't exactly planning on having this conversation now, wanting instead to enjoy the moment, but if Jayce is the one who takes it there, he would be remiss if he tried to avoid it.
]

This isn't going to be easy. I might have more bad days than good ones.

[Jayce is so blindingly optimistic and so focused on their success and the future that Viktor can't help but think about the smaller, painful moments that are sure to come. What happens when Viktor can't work and takes it all out on the only person available? The healing is a stop-gap for now, but it still might happen. He might get worse. He's not sure if either of them are prepared for it, and though he knows Jayce won't take the out, Viktor needs to offer it anyway, if only to assuage his own guilt.]

I won't blame you if it's too much.

[Once again, Jayce is so earnest that Viktor has no choice but to believe him. He has some doubts--that neither of them really know what's in store for them until it happens. That, in all possibility, Viktor might get that bad, to the point where they both regret it. He reminds himself he'd be living with Jayce either way, and he has no control over Jayce's feelings. They're going to exist, whether or not he acts on them. He knows that.

And if there's no sparing Jayce either way, then why shouldn't he allow them this? Even if it's only for a short time, it will be worth it.
]

Okay. You make a compelling point.

[Viktor believes him. How can he not? But he had to say it, regardless, and he's sure this will not be the last of these discussions that they have. For now, he resolves to enjoy this, even if it still feels bittersweet. He's not much for words, at least, not in the way Jayce is, so he resolves to show more physical affection instead, settling into the embrace and craning his neck a little so that he can press his lips to the underside of Jayce's jaw.]

Thank you for breakfast.

[And, for everything else.]

[It's no surprise that Jayce relishes Viktor's affections--Viktor knows full well how much he's been withholding for the sake of keeping a professional distance between the two of them. Now that it's gone, and now that Viktor is free to express his feelings openly, it's very difficult to stop. Jayce is handsome, and nice to touch, and the fact that simple intimacy makes him so happy is strangely fulfilling. Knowing he's responsible. Knowing he's probably the only one who can make him feel this way.

He thinks again, selfishly, how good it is that Jayce is only his. That tilt of the head makes it obvious what Jayce wants, and Viktor is happy to oblige, leaning more fully against him and kissing his neck.
]

What did you expect?

[Since Jayce apparently had so many fantasies about this. He rolls his eyes at the mention of the rocks.]

For the record, I would have brought you rocks regardless.

[Viktor pulls away, a signal that he's about to say something very serious, and wants Jayce to understand the gravity of it. There's no hint of joking in his voice--he seems entirely sincere.]

Jayce, I'm always thinking of you.

[Even when he's angry. Even when Jayce has done something nearly unthinkable, as evidenced by the fact that he was stuffing his pockets full of rocks for him before the trip went south, when he thought it would be a simple half-day excursion to get his mind off things. Turns out he wasn't really able to do that, a testament to how inextricable they've become.

He shifts a little on the mattress, leaning back into Jayce's chest and inviting him to wrap a hand around his middle. Viktor laces their fingers together while he thinks of an answer to the question--but the truth is he's worked so hard to focus on his work that he's left little time for a future he never thought would belong to him.
]

I'm not sure. Something like this, maybe. [Vague brushstrokes. Jayce would be kind, and considerate, and would like being told what to do. They would share quiet mornings, then go to the lab and get to work, and go home together at night. He feels increasingly vulnerable even thinking about it, and he has to fight his own kneejerk reaction to close everything back up.] You know...when I arrived here, alone, I was certain I'd never see you again.

It isn't that I thought it was impossible. The factions seem inclined to bring in groups of people from the same places, so I always knew it was a possibility, I just-- [This is the hard part to voice.] --I didn't think I would live long enough to see it happen.

[It's not lost on him, how lucky he is. That even, across universes, he and Jayce were able to find each other, and come to this point.

He knows this hasn't been easy. Their reunion was an adjustment for both of them, to say nothing of the secrets they were keeping from each other and how they needed to learn how to function on the same wavelength again. Now, it feels like everything is falling back into place. He knows it's a function of being removed from home, but he thinks he'd like to treasure this while he can.

Jayce voices his insecurities once again, and Viktor still finds them misplaced. He can't think of this as a new life, not when so much from home still haunts him, most of all physically, but he has made new friends, which has been surprisingly refreshing. He knows how hard it was for Jayce to try and insert himself into Viktor's established status here. The fact that Jayce is still worrying about it has Viktor wanting to quell those uncertainties once and for all. He loops himself out of the embrace and repositions again, this time straddling Jayce at the thighs so that they can be face to face. He wants Jayce to see how deeply serious he is, when he says this.
]

Please don't ever doubt how much I care for you. [It isn't an I love you, but in Viktor terms, it's about as close as he gets.] I'm sorry if I ever made you feel that wasn't the case.

[Jayce’s various anxieties are not new to him, but navigating them in the context of an actual romantic relationship will be an adjustment. It’s a challenge, however, that he’s ready to take on, because Jayce is worth it. He of all people should know that Viktor doesn’t do this for anyone—so the fact that he’s here in the first place should say it all.

All this, however, is noted. Something for him to keep in mind, as they develop as partners. Viktor knows he isn’t infallible, and that there’s more he can do to make Jayce feel valued. He wants to make him feel valued, in any way he can. Right now, he some ideas. The way he’s sitting in Jayce’s lap is entirely conducive to it.
]

Would you like me to remind you now?

[Viktor doesn’t wait for an answer, using his advantageous position to very unsubtly grind down on Jayce’s hips.]

[Viktor's hands slide around Jayce's shoulders, and his lips quirk upward a little as he looks down at him. Again, it's a nice vantage point, and enjoyable to discover all the ways he can make Jayce squirm. Of course he wants this--Viktor gets the sense he'll be ready to go at any time, and having that kind of sway over a person is more than a little satisfying. Slipping into the role of someone who gives instructions is easy, made even moreso by how receptive Jayce is to even the slightest movement.

All it takes is one little motion of his hips to have Jayce saying please.
]

What a ridiculous question.

[That's teasing--they both know that Viktor never does or says anything he doesn't want to do or doesn't mean. This is no exception, which he emphasizes by leaning in for a kiss.]

Always.

I know. You've made that clear.

[Crystal clear. Jayce has been nothing but ready and willing from the moment they got back into the apartment. Really, the only reason they didn't go all night was Viktor's own exhaustion from the journey. Now, they're both well-rested, with ostensibly nothing to do for the rest of the day, so the choice of activities is clear. Even Viktor, who doesn't want to waste a moment not working, seems amenable to this development.

Large hands slide into his shorts and he sits up a little, encouraging Jayce to pull them down his thighs. That, in particular, will take some maneuvering, especially if they want to get them full off, but he's in no rush. Viktor deepens the kiss, pressing the whole of his body up against Jayce, sliding his hands up his chest.
]

Take these off me.

[Viktor helps where he can, shifting and adjusting and trying to make it easier for Jayce to slide the shorts down one leg and another. They're both impatient, and it's clumsy to the point where he can't help but laugh, more openly than he has in a long time. Finally Jayce untangles him and tosses his underwear away like it personally offended him, and that just gets Viktor to laugh louder.

The detour, thankfully, doesn't last long, and soon Viktor is arching into Jayce, trying to take all the air out from between them. One hand snakes around the back of Jayce's head while the other comes to rest on his shoulder, giving him all the support he needs to grind his hips down. His mouth falls open a little and he tilts his head, allowing Jayce full access to his neck, if that's what he wants.
]

Are you always this noisy?

[But, of course he enjoys it. It's thrilling, the way they've barely even started and Jayce is already losing his composure. Viktor tries to still his hips with a hand against them, an indication that he's going to take the lead, here. They're still feeling each other out in a lot of ways, but Viktor already gets the sense that things will be over far too soon if he doesn't enact a little self-control.]

I'm barely touching you.

[Not true, but he's decided he likes to tease.]

techmaturgy: (pic#15348813)
From: [personal profile] techmaturgy
You don't have to be careful.

[He can tell that Jayce is purposefully going for a spot below his collar, which is considerate, but Viktor troubles himself very little about what other people think. Here, there's no one with any preconceived notions about him, and he has no reason to act a certain way or do things just to placate a certain kind of person. If Jayce wants to suck a bruise into his neck, then he should. He doesn't care who sees.

Of course he likes it. Having all of Jayce's energy is overwhelming and intoxicating all at once. He doesn't think he'll ever be able to have enough of this, to know that Jayce--so desirable to so many people in so many different ways--has chosen to focus all of his attention on him. Viktor will not, however, outright admit it, as part of his larger plan to make Jayce squirm, but perhaps he gives it away a little when his lips quirk upward.

Still, if he's going to be betrayed by his own body, he prefers this. Jayce is being receptive to instruction, so Viktor rewards him by skimming a hand down his stomach and wrapping a hand around both their cocks, so that he can stroke them together, watching Jayce intently while he does so.
]

Of course I do. Why wouldn't I?

[Jayce wants him no matter what, that much is clear, but Viktor can't help but wish he wasn't so visibly affected by his illness. That he could be with Jayce as he's supposed to be, not so physically diminished, fully bare and unable to hide the way he's declined. He's dwarfed in almost every way, even in this arrangement, and when he steadies himself he sees his pale fingers wrapped around Jayce's bicep, an involuntary sigh escaping him in response.

The good news is that it's a challenge to get into his own head when Jayce is so responsive under him. All Viktor has to do is stroke them together once, and Jayce is tilting his head back, moaning unabashedly like he's never been touched in his life. It's intoxicating.
]

I'd make a lot of people jealous, if they knew. I wonder what they'd think, if they could see their Councilor Talis now?

[If they knew what Jayce is like, fully at the mercy of someone else and coming apart under his practiced hands. Viktor is not invulnerable--Jayce rubs at his chest and he arches in response, trying to disguise the automatic motion by holding their cocks in place and grinding down again so that they slide against each other. His thumb circles the head of Jayce's a little clumsily, spreading the drops of precome, though that doesn't necessarily provide the slickness that he wants, if he's going to jack them off together.]

Hand me one of those bottles. Since you hid them everywhere.
