[ Singed. Vander. Neither name meant anything to Jayce. What did matter was the lines of Viktor's face, the downturned corners of his mouth, the furrow in his brow. If this person from his past—the same person, Jayce suspected, was the one his partner had gone to the day of the blockade—had done this to Viktor, Jayce would never forgive them.
Before Jayce could slide any deeper into that darkness, Viktor's fingers were on his jaw and warmth flooded through him. Instinctively, he reached up to cradle his partner's jaw in his hands, heart squeezing at the expression that softened Viktor's features. ] Viktor. [ Leaning in, Jayce brushed the tips of their noses as he rested his forehead against Viktor's, thumb idly caressing his cheekbone. Relief crashed over him, too, and his shoulders sagged just a little. ] Telling me I'm right twice in one day? [ His tone was all teasing and warm, softening as he continued. ] I've never been happier to be right, Vitya. [ Jayce tugged him closer. ] I love you.
[ A low chuckle escaped him, enjoying the way their warm breath mingled. ] Don't get used to it, [ he murmured, low and teasing, and Viktor jabbed Jayce suddenly in the side, a ruthless attempt to tickle him.
Once his whimsy had subsided, Viktor leaned in again, pressing back into Jayce's space by resting his head against his shoulder. Burying his face into his neck, he exhaled hard. ] And I love you, Jayce. [ When Viktor leaned on him now, it was with relief and gratitude, a rare sense of peace washing over him. ]
