    Summary

    "What's your name?"

    The child blinks at him, then lifts a little hand to make what is recognizably letters in the sign language alphabet, but too quickly (and possibly clumsily, given tiny fingers) for Jayce to follow.

    "Sorry," Jayce says. "I didn't catch that, I'm not very good with sign. Can you go slower for me?"

    The child looks up at Viktor with wide, solemn eyes and tugs on his pants sharply, twice.

    Viktor smiles down and brushes his hand over unruly curls. "Her name is Isha," he tells Jayce.

    "You have a very pretty name," Jayce tells Isha seriously. "You want to trade? I could be Isha and you could be Jayce."

    Summary

    He can imagine it. Jayce coming home with a goofy smile on his face, proudly proclaiming he’s met someone. He would need to leave the cottage of course. There would be no more sharing a bed or even living together if Viktor wanted Jayce to have a real semblance of normality. The cottage would be so empty without him. No one would hold him when he cries, but really that would be fine. He doesn’t deserve it anyways. He deserves to be forgotten here, and maybe he can begin to atone for his past, starting with helping Jayce become happy.

    ________________________

    Feeling guilty about everything that occurred with the Hexcore, Viktor makes it his mission to help Jayce have a new, normal life, starting with helping him find a romantic partner. He didn't anticipate how painful that would be for him though.

    Summary

    The rules make sense. Viktor doesn’t argue with the logic of them. He has fainted too many times on too little food. He knows what it costs Jayce to find him collapsed, tangled in cables and half-lucid. He knows what it means to wake up with Jayce’s coat draped over his knees and his face drawn tight with fear. They’re rules born of necessity. Of intimacy. Of love, if he’s being honest about it.

    But they’re still rules. And rules untested are only theory.

    He thinks about it sometimes- absently, without malice. Just the way he thinks about most systems. Every framework must be stressed. Pressure applied. Boundaries observed not only when convenient, but when strained.

    Because what good is a rule if no one minds when it’s bent? What good is a promise if no one notices when it’s broken?

     

    Or: Viktor deliberately disobeys soft rules- not out of malice, but to test how far Jayce will go. He learns the latter pretty quickly.

    Summary

    “I recognised your handwriting,” Jayce blurted out as they were about to leave his apartment to make the trek to Heimerdinger’s lab.

    Viktor turned around, hand still on the keys which he had just finished stuffing back into his pocket. “From where?”

    Realising that he’d provided no context, Jayce hesitantly rolled up his left sleeve and shifted his cuff upward to reveal the words on his wrist. “Look, it says—” he paused, taking in the words again. It was almost the same except for one.

    An amazing genius. I can work with this.

    “It said erratic earlier this afternoon,” Jayce mumbled, thumbing at ‘amazing’.

    Or: The thoughts that people nearby have about you appear on your skin. Jayce doesn't care for them—or so he says—until he meets Viktor.
