"I have never in my life owned something your size," Viktor drawls with a shake of the head. "Your shoulder width alone should be criminal."
Not that he's complaining, certainly not now when Jayce pulls back and starts revealing those shoulders. He should turn politely away but Jayce is meeting his eyes and yes, maybe he's allowed this. He's seen Jayce in the forge before, he can't even pretend he didn't secretly enjoy the view then as discreetly as he could manage.
It's not something he's particularly used to. Viktor's always been able to appreciate beauty but he rarely finds himself engulfed by it, struck dumb or quiet. He remembers at Jayce's trial he considered Jayce's pretty face before those thoughts were completely overrun by Jayce's words, his vision and research goals. When they became partners officially he tried to ignore those thoughts entirely.
The tips of Viktor's ears go pink as he allows himself to look Jayce over, clears his throat and hands the towel back. The fact Jayce works with his hands, works in a real way just makes it all more appealing, damn him. It makes him feel real and solid, dangerously enticing amid all the posturing of Piltover.
"You-" Viktor starts, leaning in again to put a palm against Jayce's chest, his heart, still a furnace despite the chill he's really starting to feel himself. "-are going to be the death of me. You can go use the shower, I'll bring you a sheet."
