    Summary

    “In the council chambers,” Jayce says. “In that other body. The puppet. I’d never seen you like that before.”

    Viktor tenses, his throat sealing closed.

    “You were so…” Jayce’s hands clench, like he’s trying to physically grab the idea he needs. “Confident,” he says. “And then later, when your mask broke, you were—you shrank from me. Like you didn’t want me to see you.”

    “I don’t remember,” Viktor mumbles, lying, and Jayce looks at him sympathetically, with his warm earnest eyes. He takes Viktor’s thin hand between his.

    “I guess I didn’t know you felt that way,” he says. “About your body.”

    Or,

    Bodies: a love story.

    Summary

    It's easy enough for Jayce to buy a proper coffee maker for the lab. He and Viktor work a lot of late nights, after all, and sometimes they need a pick me up. It's easy enough for him to rationalize it as a gesture of friendship.

    He can't really explain the blankets, though. Or the chocolate bars. Or the snacks. Or that time he offered a leg massage.

    (Jayce is legendarily down bad for Viktor. This manifests in him making the lab as sort of a second home. Thankfully, Viktor notices.)

    Summary

    Once is an accident. Twice is a coincidence. But three times? Three times is someone perpetuating a baseless rumor.
    The nature of the gossip is much like that of sound waves. Word travels, and it does so at an alarming speed. Whether it were the three assistants or someone else, the rumor seems to have caught everyone ablaze, spreading like wildfire. He needs to put a stop to this before it's too late.

     

    (aka. People think they're married and Jayce likes it)

    Summary

    This is always the hardest part, getting him dressed, seeing how much weight he’s lost. His white blouse hanging off of him, pants sagging. It’s a vanishing act, what Viktor is pulling now. All the time now he’s vanishing.

    Jayce holds him carefully, clasping the brace around his back. He kneels at Viktor’s feet, dangling off the side of the bed, and eases his leg into its brace. This is his favorite part, resting his cheek against Viktor’s knee, gazing up at him.

    “I love you,” he says, and Viktor looks down at him blearily, mouth a little red with his own blood. “I’m right here. I’m not going anywhere. I’m going to take care of you.”

    In every world there’s nothing they wouldn’t do for each other.
