Summary
Jayce came back to himself, piece by piece. Seconds, feeling like hours. He could feel the blood rushing in his ears, every beat of his heart marching on.
Why was his heart still beating?
He clawed at the flesh above his heart, craving to dig his fingers into his rib cage and pry it open to stop the incessant beat. He didn’t want to listen to it anymore, he had no need for something that was meant to be Viktors, but Viktor didn’t want it. He rejected him.

Summary
‘He must have been tired, I really should be more stern with him about his self care’ Viktor thought, eyebrows pulling together slightly frustrated at himself for not advocating more for his partner's wellbeing.
Viktor pulled himself from his thoughts to walk over to the occupied bed, looking for some warmth and comfort he knew would be waiting for him there, but he was not expecting the sight he saw when climbing under the covers.

Summary
Viktor started to stir more, Jayce noted that he definitely will be awake in a few moments, he continued his ministrations until he heard soft moans elicit from his partner. The moans laced with sleep, higher pitched than usual. Jayce shivered, and started up his worshipping, slightly more noisy this time, looking for Viktor's attention as he first woke up. A hand snakes down to lace in Jayce's hair, and pulls slightly. He smiles and moves his head to rest on Viktor's thigh, licking his lips.
“Good morning, beautiful.”

Summary
“Stop THAT, Jayce. I am NOT in need of your pity, I don’t want our dynamic to shift, we are PARTNERS, EQUALS. When we step into this room we are scientists, Hextech cofounders, we COULD have been something more if it weren’t for your damn hero complex. For your incessant need to SAVE me. It’s not equal anymore, you see me beneath you.” Viktor spit out, voice giving way on the last few words.
Jayce opened his mouth to start to speak, but Viktor cut him off.
“If we can’t be equals, then fine. I will seemingly have to rewrite your vision of me in your mind. Maybe in the only way you know how.” Viktor says, steadying himself for what he was planning to do. Jayce needed to see someone dominant, and capable. Not the weak person he saw with his injury. Jayce needed orders, knowing that for all the dominant energy the public saw, he was just desperate to be told. Viktor's eyes darkened, cold and neutral. He straightened his back and as much as he was capable, squaring his shoulders to fill out his form. He looked directly at Jayce, and started to speak

Summary
‘I must be dead, right?’ Jayce's mind supplies unhelpfully.
He remembered being tossed into this world, this destroyed and distorted version of reality. Piltover. He remembers the edge of a cliff. What happened at that edge?
Jayce’s mind starts to come back, unfortunately on his part as a gurgle rips from his throat. A scream. Pain. Tortuous levels of pain. From where? Where??
He forces open his eyes, attempting to track down the cause of the pain. His eyes settle on his left leg, the bone jutting out from the skin, a festering wound of brilliant colors. It's beautiful, it's morbid. This can’t be real. This is a bad dream.

Summary
Viktors life passed in muted colors before he met Jayce. It was not something he realized he was lacking, until he had walked into his life. Moreso, as he walked into his life, to arrest him that was.
Viktor wanted to be viewed for his mind, his intellectual prowess that he had spent years hunched over books for. Nights without sleep in a lab, trying to make a name for himself at innovator competitions, to earn himself a sponsor. After all his hard work, that he did. He earned himself a spot with the head of the council, Heimerdinger. He was grateful, but it was not long until the need for further advancement started to eat away at him. Being an assistant in its own ways was a thankless job, your life revolving around another. He was treated well, he received fair compensation and tools to complete his work, but he was moving something. A spark. A driving force.

Summary
Time felt slowed down as he marched to their deaths, finally entering the sphere to lose all his conviction, almost instantaneously. Viktor was sitting, legs crossed, high off the ground, connected to wires and tubes spanning down his entire back. He looked at peace, thumbing something in his hands. His head moved slightly, almost as if waking up, and opened his eyes to look at Jayce.
Viktors eyes flashed a bright pink quickly fading to their normal yellow hue. His lips upturned into a soft smile, gaze settling on Jayce.
Jayce doesn’t even realize his knees are giving way, taking him to the ground with a solid thud. He looks up at Viktor from his place on his knees with all the reverence of a believer to their God.
‘I can’t kill him’.

Summary
“Don’t wait up for me tonight at the lab, we have some important matters to discuss” Viktor continues, inebriated starry eyes at the intruder. They turn to walk away and Jayce stops them with a hand wrapping around Viktor's arm. Viktor looks up at Jayce, confused.
“Not tonight, Viktor. Not with him.” Jayce voice carries, trying to hide the frantic nature behind it.
“If you need someone to warm your bed, that is my privilege, and mine alone.”

Summary
“You’re late, Jayce. Again.” Viktor says, venom lining his tone.
Jayce walks into the lab, Viktor notices an air of confidence he did not see before in Jayce. He was not a man lacking confidence for sure, but also he seemed further emboldened in a way.
Viktor should be happy for him, his partner is making advancements for them, for their dreams, but lately it feels more self centered on Jayce's part than anything. He stays with them a little too long. He talks about his work on the council a little too much, and focuses on his work in the lab too little.
Viktor knows he sounds childish pulling the ‘you’re picking them over me’ card, but he’s human too, he's allowed to be frustrated as he feels Jayce pulling away. His one constant in life, or what was supposed to be.
‘What would it take for him to stay?’ Viktor internally questions, squaring his shoulders off and sitting taller when he finds his conclusion.
All while Viktor is having his internal monologue, Jayce is buzzing about the council, Viktor not paying attention, sounds like a buzz in the distance, he looks at his form, steeling his eyes.
“Kneel, Jayce.”

Summary
‘He’s gone,’ Jayces’ mind offered unhelpfully.
It could have been moments, minutes, hours, days that Jayce has stood at his desk in the lab, their lab, or what used to be theirs. Was he allowed to refer to them as a whole now that they were two fractured halves? The whiplash of Viktor being in a state of limbo, to alive in his arms, to gone again is too much for Jayces mind to handle.
He clutches his chest, breathing starting to come in pained gasps. He feels hollowed out, like Viktor took his heart with him as he walked out that door, and right out of his life. Out of their life.
"Why didn’t I follow him, get down on my knees and beg for him not to leave, why did I just let him do it?” Jayce blurts out in an empty room, his own voice sounding distant.
Jayces vision starts to blur around the edges, he turns around and grips onto the desk, seeing his and Viktors work scattered about. A shout rips from his throat, raw and animalistic as tears start to bleed over their life's work. Their dream, the dream that tore them apart in the end.

Summary
Jayce’s mouth spilled drool haphazardly. He inhaled the scent clinging to Viktor's bed, fist clenching at his sheets.
‘I miss him’, Jayce laments internally, shoving his nose further into Viktor's pillow, where the smell was the strongest. Realistically it would smell of sweat and moth balls, the room barely used as Viktor spent most of his waking hours in the lab, attempting to finish work as his condition weakened his body, trying to leave a notch in the fabric so as to not be forgotten.
‘I have to get out, I shouldn’t be here’, Jayce thinks to himself, snapping back to reality, smelling Viktor’s imminent mortality in his sheets.
He moves from the place he lay on Viktor's bed, an unwanted intruder in a room he was not the owner of, when he hears a soft click of the door. Jayce’s eyes open slightly, trying to determine where to go, but not having enough time to make an escape without being noticed. He has to sit with the consequences of his decision.
“Jayce…?”

Summary
In the chaos of the moment, only one thought is cycling through Jayce’s mind like a prayer:
‘Where is Viktor?’
After stumbling around the smouldering pile of rubble that was their council room mere minutes prior, he continued to get more frantic.
‘Maybe someone found him already and ushered him away from the chaos’.
‘Maybe he wasn’t where I remembered him and he was unaffected’
‘Maybe he wasn’t here at all and I was conjuring him in my mind for moral support’All racing thoughts screech to a halt as he sees him. Him. His Viktor, lying amongst the rubble as peacefully as when he rested on the couch in the lab after a long day of equations.
‘He is just sleeping, right?’ Jayce thinks, before his mind begins to fracture.

Summary
“Fuck” Jayce muttered, barely catching his breath before crashing his mouth back into Viktors, backing them slowly into the table between frantic kisses. Jayce only stopping with enough time to sweep all their work from the past three days to the floor. Typically, he was a more patient lover, but how could he not immediately feast upon the meal he was making room for on this table?

Summary
"You’re as beautiful as the day I lost you”, Jayce says breathlessly, grabbing onto Viktors face as if it was a lifeline, as if it was the first and last time he would ever see him. Little did Viktor know what this Jayce had gone through to get back to him.
