“ you're the only thing that makes sense right now. everything else is just - the world is so loud. the only time it feels quiet is when you're here. ”

jayce's smile is soft, he drops his hand from the handle of door and returns to the depths of the room. their shared space was dimly lit, the combination of the small lamp an the gap in the curtains did little to b r i g h t e n the room, but it didn't seem to bother viktor. there was something comforting about the darkness. likely the fact he wasn't alone in it.

it had been several weeks since the incident ( as it had been dubbed in jayce's apartment ), and they hadn't gone out much. viktor at all, and jayce very minimally. primarily to get updates, to see caitlyn ... but for viktor had stayed in. presumed dead by both piltover and the undercity, it made the most sense to keep a lower profile. but jayce had voiced, that it's p o s s i b l e people wouldn't recognize him. most people never met him, and the general public wasn't there for the attack to begin with. he'd likely be s a f e . but there was still reluctance, and jayce understood. it's part of why he'd offered his home. while he had his ulterior motives ... his focus was viktor's safety. and happiness. the idea of leaving him alone was never something he entertained, and he knew his own apartment was a welcoming space. and more importantly, not a target for those he did know the truth of the machine herald.

“ hey hey hey, i get it, ” jayce soothes, his smile still soft as he returns to the couch. he takes a seat on the center cushion, pulling one leg onto the couch so he can turn and face his partner. his partner. a phrase that felt very different now, yet somehow the same. he reaches out and takes viktor's hand in both of his, tilting his head slightly, “ you want me to stay? i won't go today. it's easy as that. ”
