    Summary

    Jayce convinces Viktor to come to a Council event, despite Viktor's misgivings. When it goes south, Jayce gets maybe too defensive.

    "Where did you say you were from?" some council-adjacent businessman said, seemingly out of nowhere. "I haven't heard your particular accent in Piltover before."

    "That isn't really relevant—" Jayce started.

    "The Undercity," Viktor spoke over him, his tone flat.

    "I see!" the man exclaimed, with faux surprise. Viktor glared at him, but popped a bite of food in his mouth to keep from saying anything else. Whether the man noticed Viktor's seething or not, he continued, "I didn't realise the Academy gave pity scholarships."

    Viktor almost choked. Jayce narrowed his eyes, one hand balling into a fist under the table.

    Summary

    It begins with late-night work and a drunken confession. Viktor is used to the hum of machinery and the clarity of blueprints, not the messy weight of feelings. Especially when those feelings come to him in the form of his drunken partner venturing into the lab after a party Viktor politely declined his invitation to. Jayce, bold even when unsteady on his feet, breaks through the careful walls Viktor has built with a simple, if not slightly slurred truth: “I love you.”

    But words are easy, and Viktor has always been better at resisting than believing. As dawn breaks, he's faced with a choice: cling to the certainty of solitude or risk everything for the steady warmth of Jayce’s arms.

    Summary

    “And I hope,” he continues, pressing a kiss to the opposite cheek. “You get to be happy wherever you happen to be. I hope you get to be loved too.”

    Jayce closes his eyes at that, another set of tears falling down his face.

    “I hope you can find your way home.”

    -----------

    When the rune consumed them both and Viktor and Jayce avoided the end of the world, it didn't destroy itself, it didn't kill them. It spat them out elsewhere.
