    Summary

    He even allows himself a moment to think that maybe his luck has turned around. That after the explosion at his place and all the sneers from the Council and the way any hope had seemed impossibly far away just a day ago, now things are looking up. Now he has a partner and they've solved the equations and they're going to get his equipment back and maybe it will actually all work out.

     

    Until he hears the sound of shoes, of someone walking towards them, and realizes that they're fucked.

     

    Viktor must realize it too, because he immediately grabs the key ring and shoves the whole thing into his pocket in an instant as Jayce fumbles to click the light off. He's already trying to come up with some sort of excuse, some kind of plan, when Viktor, swift as anything, surges to his feet, fists a hand in the collar of Jayce's shirt, and hauls him in to press their mouths together.

     

    Day Four - Free Day: Viktor comes up with another excuse for why they're skulking outside Heimerdinger's lab that still involves access to his bedroom.

    Summary

    The thing is…they're not dating.

     

    Frankly, Jayce doesn't know what they are.

     

    ---

    Or:

    Sometimes in the dark, late at night, boundaries blur. Sometimes two people exist in the in-between of all the things their relationship could be, with a lot left unsaid.

    Jayce and Viktor have been dancing around each other for a long time.

    Summary

    Rationally, Jayce is aware that Viktor provokes fights purely for his own enjoyment at least half the time. Not even someone as dead-set on being a bastard can realistically find enough reasons to start an argument as frequently as Viktor does. Rationally, Jayce is aware that he only gives Viktor what he wants when he responds to the provocation with anything other than pure indifference. It’s real fucking difficult to stay indifferent when Viktor starts talking, though, and the urge to rip him apart is so physically overpowering, Jayce really has no other choice than to at least scream at him a little bit.

    Or: Viktor pushes, and Jayce has no other choice than to push back, because his ego has always been fragile like that.
