#Jayce blanket

[kjwaikiki]

I have recently become obsessed with Jayce and Viktor from Arcane and I have one thought/question from the whole thing (I have many thoughts and questions but I will only share one in this post).

This is Viktor after coming out of the hexcore cocoon thing when Jace put a blanket over him.

And this is him further into the series.

My question is did he keep Jayce’s blanket and make it into wearable clothes so he would always have something of Jayce’s with him? Honestly even if it is different fabric that is my headcanon now.

Just the idea! Even after parting ways these two were so obsessed with each other and I am here for it.

i love that i read SO many jayvik fics about the divorce beginning with jayce being horrified at what viktor had done with the hexcore, only for it to turn out that jayce actually did not give a SINGLE fuck, didn't even flinch at the sight of his hand and leg, and was ecstatic when it ended up saving his life. i am absolutely obsessed

I'm sure someone's already brought this up but like. Viktor is still wearing the goddamned Blanket™️ here. Look at the inner part of it. It's red. The outside is sun-bleached and covered in arcane corruption, but that interior is still the SAME COLOR AS THE BLANKET. It has a bit of corruption on it, but at least for me, this is the same blanket. He kept it.

gay people can never say "i love you", instead they have to be all melodramatic about how #that one person in their life was bigger than the goal they worked for during their whole life; was bigger than everything else.

bonus: viktor and griffith in their matching evil eggs!

Meljayvik ramblings, with trans Viktor:

I think it would be funny if meljayvik were together but kept it strictly meljay and jayvik and were super scheduled and cordial about it, melvik barely interacting

UNTIL

Viktor is particularly grouchy and frowny in the lab one morning, making more snappy comments than usual, but otherwise normal. Mel comes into the lab to drape over Jayce's back where he's sat, more touchy than usual and struggling not to pout, when she thinks no one's looking.

Jayce feels his 'be a good boyfriend' senses tingling and squints back and forth between Mel and Viktor, thinking for a moment before sucking in a breath.

Jayce: oh no

MelVik: what?

Jayce: we need to go. Viktor, get your stuff. Mel, tell Elora to clear your schedule, this is an emergency.

MelVik (irritated): wtf, why?

Jayce: you've synced up.

MelVik: ???

Jayce: ummm... you're both... menstruating right now, and we need to go home so I can get Viktor his favourite blanket and that hot waterbottle you like Mel, and I have a stock of the chocolates from that dessert place that you both like different things from, and then I can make some mac and cheese and do the good footrubs and we can watch that documentary you like Mel and the soap opera you like Viktor and-

And so after that Viktor and Mel spend so much time chilling out together on Jayce's couch while he runs around getting them stuff like a period genie, that it's pretty natural that they fall into a relationship too

I think I need MelVik connecting when Viktor was on his sick bed. they had been amicable before, maybe a little more than that due to their connection through Jayce and her presence around Hextech and such. but they weren't entirely friends. not yet.

and she goes to see him. perhaps she feels a tinge of guilt at assuming the worst about Jayce, or her bleeding heart makes her feel responsible for keeping Jayce out of the lab when Viktor had needed him. maybe Jayce needs to step out for a moment, and she soothes his worry by promising to sit with Viktor. maybe she just wants to be closer to the man that's so painfully important to the one she loves, wants to befriend him, wants to know him, all before it's far too late.

maybe it's a little bit of each.

but she goes to see him. she sits in the chair that Jayce has nearly worn a hole through, and keeps a semi-awkward distance between them, not knowing what is too close and too far.

this man is dying. he is dying and he has accepted that. he looks like a corpse. cold emanates off of him. he is something she doesn't fully understand.

she doesn't know how to approach.

but she does.

she greets softly and speaks softly and hesitates to touch, but rests a hand over Viktor's and feels how cold he is, even as a sickly warmth brews in his bones, leeching the warmth from his skin and the energy from his body.

he seems surprised she's there. it feels out of place. like the song and dance of their dynamic has shifted, and now he needs to relearn the steps. and now this is a dance of two, not three.

she will tell Viktor, in enough detail to be understood and not enough to be awkward, where Jayce was. because it feels right to confess. it's not an apology, but the avoidance of keeping something like a secret from a dying man.

Viktor will probably just nod and say something self deprecating, because what else do you say when your body is already making a joke of itself? before assuring her that Jayce is not his keeper, that she is not to blame, but even that comes off as some twisted attempt at humor. sue him for being sardonic as he lay dying.

but unlike Jayce, who will cringe at the jokes, she will hide a smile behind her fingers, muffling a soft, if not saddened, chuckle in her palm.

Viktor's eyes will light up ever so slightly.

she'll feel awkward once more. should she have laughed? was this playing into a complex? was this right of her?

Viktor will smile weakly.

she'll feel a little less awkward.

she will realize Viktor needs someone to laugh with. that Jayce, bless his soul, cannot be that person for Viktor. his worry has brewed too long. it's too strong.

but maybe a fresh face like Mel's can be there to smile when Jayce cannot. will laugh when Jayce cannot. can make cheeky jokes and pokes and prods.

the three fit together like 3 pieces of 3 broken puzzles. they fit together, not perfectly, but they fit, and create a finished object, even if off kilter her and uneven there. but it's ok, they're making due.

we joke but viktor not having sex organs after fusing with the core is so poignant. the core removed something from his body that tied him to his humanity. hes inching further and further from it in the name of evolution

and then there's the blanket jayce gives him. it's almost ironic, viktor tells him he doesnt feel cold, jayce can see he has nothing there to 'cover up' but he covers him anyway, as if to beg viktor to hold on to his humanity at any cost. and viktor does. to his dying breath, as he sets off on his mission, he keeps the blanket draped around him. it's the last thing tying him to the physical world, jayce is the last thing tying him to the world, he's the last person left who has any affection for him. but now jayce has severed that tie.

viktor lies on his death bed with a hole where his heart should be, but a blanket covering his lower half
