Summary
When Viktor finally asks why Jayce stayed behind inside the Anomaly with him, Jayce stares at him as though he’s supremely disappointed by the question— as if Viktor has betrayed his own brilliance by asking something so irredeemably stupid. “How could I not? We’re partners.”
Partners, Jayce calls them. Not for the first time, Viktor wonders: Partners in what?
*
Or: Jayce and Viktor survive the Hexcore, a blizzard, their own bodies, sharing a bed and all the things they’re too afraid to say. Slowly, they put themselves back together— piece by stubborn piece.

Bookmarker's Notes
Reads like cozying back up in a still warm bed in the middle of winter. Warms the soul.

Summary
Jayce blames everything – the unhelpful interest, the obsessive observation, the scribbling in his notebook; the memorizing and cataloguing and compartmentalizing – on Viktor being… Viktor. An enigma. A game of chess against someone so much smarter. A whole universe of unknown stars hidden behind an accented voice, eccentricities and unexplained habits. Because that’s what Viktor is, in the end – silently challenging and unperceived and an unresolved force of nature. As a scientist, Jayce cannot sit by and let a seemingly unsolvable conundrum with countless unknown variables be.
or: the inherent homoromanticism of getting to know your lab partner.
