"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."

Viktor's lips quirk despite himself when he swears he can feel Jayce's heart pick up under his fingers, as though he isn't the one making such a picture in Viktor's apartment. "Eh, you have had it more than you think, солнце." Likely since Jayce's trial, the first time he had Viktor's full attention when the words 'magic' passed his lips.

This does not feel very much like Jayce being good, if only because Viktor is seriously considering saying hell to the tiny size of his shower and joining him. Funnily enough the little nuzzle is what nearly does him in, a soft exhale like a laugh before he leans in for another, longer kiss himself, fingers curling against Jayce's chest.

A shiver down his spine from the actual cold is what finally convinces him to pull back, hand moving to cup Jayce's jaw as he does so, thumb at his bottom lip. "You can tell me all about it when you're done. Go on, if we catch our deaths because you are too alluring I will be incredibly cross with you. There's too much work to be done for that."

He fully steps back, fingers lingering before he gestures to the bathroom door. It's a tiny thing, the shower barely enough room for Jayce in all likelihood, which Viktor never regretted before tonight. He goes to his own room and leaves the door open, just a full bed and a squat dresser, less clutter than outside.

It's a relief to tug off his vest and shirt, one side mostly dry thanks to Jayce, his fingers running over that area of fabric thoughtfully as he sits on his bed. It's a learning experience to rely on someone even in such simple matters, one he doesn't think he's been handling particularly gracefully and yet Jayce has taken it in stride. He supposes that shouldn't surprise him, Jayce is stubborn in a way Viktor admires and understands, though he'll admit he didn't think it would extend to the personal aspects of their partnership.

Which now very much seems like it might be a partnership in more than research. Despite knowing there's a great deal of logistics to consider, dangers and pitfalls to avoid, he allows himself a moment to smile and indulge in the fluttering in his chest. Frightening, truly, since good things tend to be snatched away quickly in the undercity and he's learned not to get too attached to anything unless he could not live without it. It's becoming alarmingly clear Jayce is becoming just that.

He takes off his shoes and considers trying to unlatch his back brace before settling on waiting for Jayce to help. It's not the one he'll design and craft in the future, far bulkier than what he has now that is mostly leather and minimal metal. Still he made it himself and he's rather proud of the design- and isn't it novel to have someone who may appreciate the workmanship too rather than be alarmed at his need for it?

He realizes he's still smiling like a fool and shakes his head. Absolutely absurd.

Ah. Well, turning his head to see Jayce in only a towel that does very little for the imagination- needless to say it takes Viktor a moment to process that. Then another moment to appreciate it. It is a sight he could very quickly get used to, more so now that he doesn't need to feel any sort of conflict about it. In all fairness Jayce going shirtless in his forge is simply unfair and he doesn't think the man has any real idea how he affects people sometimes.

Viktor leans into the hand in his hair without thinking, lips quirking in a crooked but sincere little smile at that shy tone. "You are incredibly lovely, Jayce Talis," he informs, using his cane to push himself to his feet before gesturing to his back. "Help me with this, will you? Just unlatch to the side there."

He can do it himself easily enough but it is nice not to twist around and irritate his already complaining back with it. "And then I will shower and we can return to our earlier discussion." Which is kissing, mostly. That's what he'd prefer to return to, even if maybe there are some matters to be addressed. If Jayce is going to be lounging about his room in a towel he really doesn't think anyone would blame him for distraction from such matters.

"Flattery," Viktor answers in amusement, turning to cup Jayce's face and thumb at the light blush on his cheeks. The ability to do so on a whim still feels so novel, a right he is still reminding himself he has.

He lets out a soft sigh of relief as the brace loosens - it's comfortable enough but it irritates after a long day, and Jayce's warm palms against his skin are heavenly. If he thought he could get away with it he'd probably try and convince Jayce to simply warm him up like this, his personal heater as promised. So instead he places his brace to the side and tugs Jayce down into a kiss, hand pressed against his chest before finally pushing himself off.

"Yes, yes," he concedes, heading into the bathroom. The shower is a quick one and much needed just to warm him up, get his hair into something resembling control. Even here he can hear the rain crashing outside, low thunder and the strained whistling of high winds as he dabs at himself with a towel, one that covers him much better than it does Jayce when he wraps it around his hips and returns.

Viktor certainly looks a little better for it now, the chill gone and skin faintly pink with warmth as he pushes his wet hair back when it flops in his face. "Bah, I thought the rain would be less annoying up here but it is just as disruptive." Then again it got Jayce in his bed like this so maybe he can forgive it.

Viktor is also wondering how bold he should be- he could excuse himself to slip into pajamas, which seems a little unfair given Jayce does not have the same luxury. He could drop his towel and just change here, a touch risque but frankly not all that appealing in practice, too much bending and stepping his back and leg won't thank him for unless he does it carefully and slowly. So a towel then, and he watches Jayce for a few moments, lips curling despite himself at that easy joy in where they've ended up.

It makes it easy to step over, enjoying the rare view of looking down at Jayce for once, head tilted as he puts his cane to the side to rest against his night table and rests a hand on Jayce's shoulder to steady himself in its place. "We are," he says, tone almost gentle as he sinks down to sit next to Jayce. "But we do need to discuss some matters.

"The first is obvious enough, Hextech always comes first. I doubt either of us will risk it on a falling out or romantic drama," he says, waving a hand like the idea is ridiculous. He is very confident in that, they both care far too much about the work to let petty matters get in the way. The next part he pauses to consider before offering carefully, "You should understand that this will not reflect well on you. It is one thing to work with me, it is another to be in a relationship with someone from the undercity when your eh... you star is on the rise, that is what they say, yes?"

"Mm, I find that acceptable," Viktor replies dryly- as though he ever thought he'd convince Jayce not to offer the odd kiss in the lab. The man was so physically affectionate it seemed impossible, and frankly he isn't complaining. If they do get that assistant they've been discussing they'll need to be more careful, but until then Viktor sees no way a little affection in the lab will be anything but an occasional, welcome distraction.

He expects Jayce to react strongly to his warning about public opinion, following the tilt of Jayce's fingers to regard him as requested, lips quirking fondly at his intense response. "I knew it wouldn't scare you away, but... you do need to be prepared to bite your tongue more than you'll no doubt like." He tilts his head as if realizing something, a curious hum as he says, "I suppose I will need to relearn as well. It is easy to brush off things said about me, should I hear anything about you it might be more difficult."

That aside Jayce brings up a decent point, gets a nod from Viktor. He considers for a brief moment before shifting carefully to his feet, getting up so he can sit on Jayce's lap and look down at him again, a faint smile on his face not unlike a pleased cat. "Neither do I, so we are in agreement. For that matter, while I have no interest in being particularly public about our business I do not wish to be a secret. I am... serious about this, Jayce, as I have said before. I want to tell people if asked or if I believe they should know."

Which is practically no one for him, really. His social circle is Jayce and Heimendinger for the most part, but it still matters to him that Jayce is not something to hide.

"There are times you may have to bite your tongue," Viktor points out, unable to keep a level of fondness from his expression. He isn't sure how to articulate he can see this being worse, that Jayce is being slowly built up to symbolize a Piltover ideal and 'shacking up with a trencher' is never going to be smiled upon there. All the politically savvy matches his patron has no doubt already been considering for him, all the families that will want to believe they have a chance - no, he simply cannot imagine they will be spared, even if Viktor keeps somewhat out of the public eye as he has been.

But he is in Jayce's lap and that is cause for some celebration and optimism. He runs a hand through Jayce's damp hair, down to the nape of his neck in slow exploration. He lets out a faint chuckle at Jayce's answer, tilting his neck to give Jayce access as he hums and considers what else there was. "Hm, important matters... I prefer to be- big spoon, yes? That is the term. If you do as well we will simply need to set a schedule."

A dry joke, but really he isn't sure what else can be said. At this point it will be a matter of handling what they've already mentioned as it comes, in hopes it will work out despite those who would happily see them fail. "You are a pushover though so I am sure I will win more often than not."

"It is all part of Hextech coming first," Viktor answers with a little shrug, still playing idly with Jayce's hair. "Which unfortunately includes our reputation and playing nice with the sponsors. Maybe when we're successful enough I can finally smack one of those pompous fools upside the head and see how they like it."

Dry, though his gaze softens when Jayce says they fit well together. He leans in for a peck of a kiss, makes a little sound in his throat when Jayce moves them. That gets Jayce pulled down for a far deeper kiss that ends in a quiet sigh and a calculating look. Well, maybe more curious, like trying to map this new side of Jayce, what he is like in the bedroom, in romance.

"Hm, I suppose that leads to some other topics to discuss, does it not? But if you wish for a preference I would very much like to fuck you properly." Blunt, with a little quirk of the lips as he cups Jayce's jaw. "Is that considered 'too fast?' I cannot say I have a good understanding of the eh... common propriety here." Mostly of Piltover's propriety. Frankly he thinks Piltover is pretty prudish.

"Well, I do enjoy when you stand up to the pompous." Namely his trial, which is probably the moment Viktor really started to look at Jayce properly. Even if his research had ended up being nonsense Viktor would have appreciated the passion Jayce had for it, misplaced or not.

Viktor tries not to look too pleased by Jayce's eager response - needless to say he had issues before with what people expected of him based on his looks. He doesn't mind bottoming but a degree of control is his usual preference, and certainly not to be treated like something small and meek.

With Jayce's he's slowly been learning the difference of being treated gently or kindly because of care rather than misconception, and the vague thought of it brings a flush of fondness through him, leaning up to impart it with his lips to Jayce's jaw. It ends in a nip then thorough distraction as Jayce strips off his towel, an approving hum because gods above, Jayce is beautiful. Even more so when he asks so nicely to put his mouth to work, Viktor's hands carding through Jayce's hair as he answers.

"Please," he answers with a nod, shifting to sit up a little because he wants to see this. "You have no idea how often I've wanted to bend you over your desk, especially when you come back frustrated and tense from social obligations."
