[ oh, that helps his back, doesn't it? lets all that tension dissolve. with viktor's back thoroughly washed and massaged, jayce rinses the suds with still lukewarm cups of water with his palm, letting trikling streams steal away soap bubbles.]
It must've been . . . Incredible, [ he hushes, imagining viktor, viktor, running down the docks. ] I wish I'd been there to see it.
[ maybe if he'd been, the rest . . . wouldn't have happened the way it did. what was he doing, at the time? raiding drug empires, killing children. making a big ass hammer. but jayce was a little exhausted of going down that looping rabbit hole of grief. there is something that twinges his heartstrings, though. something this viktor hadn't heard from him, from anyone.
would this reach him?
jayce keeps it at the tip of his tongue, in case his partner was too distracted, and once viktor's back was clean—
he simply, quietly, leans his forehead against the top of viktor's spine and lingers there. ]
