Summary
“Do you like soft toys?” Jayce asks, voice tampered down as he speaks into the crown of Viktor’s head. His soft curly locks tickle at Jayce’s chin.
Viktor nods quietly into Jayce’s shoulder, his sharp jaw knocking against Jayce’s neck.
“It’s my only one,” Viktor whispers, voice shaky and pitiful.
Viktor yanks his head backwards to stare upwards at Jayce, lips bowed down into a soft pout.
“Please don’t make me throw it out,” He pleads, lashes clumped together, damp.
__Or, Jayce and Viktor celebrate a new milestone together, and Jayce watches Viktor age regression become a coping mechanism evoked by safety rather than fear.

Summary
Jayce discovers Viktor has all of these mannerisms. For instance, he talks to inanimate objects like they're people.
“You'll go here, ‘kay?” Is what he mutters to his screws before he slots them into his prototypes. He always exhales a small laugh whenever the structure holds.
Viktor also twirls his hair in thought, kicks his legs in frustration when he's combating a difficult equation.
One of Jayce's favorite little quirks is when his partner hums and sings to himself, it's rather cute. They're all cute, really.The vagaries of Viktor's behavior also depend on his physical state. For instance, at one of their apartments, whenever Viktor is exhausted, he suckles on his fingers as if to soothe himself. He babbles incoherently to Jayce, mostly about train models and project ideas. He mentions a blueprint called ‘Blitzcrank’ quite often and is usually very giddy when doing so.
___Or, Viktor begins to feel comfortable around Jayce, while Jayce navigates his understanding of his partner's age regression.

Summary
Jayce's voice is above him, far, far away. He's drowning, just like his toy boat. Oh, God.
He wants his boat so badly. He wants to clutch it to his heart and let his mind empty as its shoddy little motors would circle around and around, while he'd watch for hours.
Viktor can't help but wail, anguished cries echoing throughout their lab. He feels a large, gentle palm on his back. He sobs harder.
“What's wrong? Are you in pain?” Jayce questions, prying uselessly.
“I feel so small,” Viktor chokes out. “What's happening to me?” He's trembling now, drenching his knees with salty tears.
___Or, Viktor age regresses for the first time. He's very scared, luckily, Jayce is there to help!

Summary
Viktor's still grinning as he fiddles with the draw strings of his - no Jayce's, hoodie.
He watches intently as Jayce scrambles to turn off speaker mode and attempt to soothe his mother. Viktor perks up as Ximena's voice is cut off; scolding Jayce to be kinder to those close to him.
When Jayce ends the call and turns to look at Viktor, frustration tenses between his eyebrows.
Viktor flashes him a pout, "maybe you should be nicer to me, Jayce."

Summary
"You look like you've seen a ghost. Did you walk by some intimidating campus goths on your way back?" Viktor smiles, rubbing the pad of his thumb tenderly between the crease of Jayce's brows.
"What? No," Jayce guffaws, "I was worried about you, it's like you weren't even breathing when I came in here," he murmurs, feeling his eyes prick with the uncomfortable sensation of tears.
It's suddenly Viktor's turn to let noises of amusement escape his nose,
"You really think I'd die in my sleep?" He laughs, like it's unimaginable, like Jayce is insane. -

"So Ivy's playing Red Harring?" Zack asks, twisting his wrists to turn the truck along the groove of the road.
"You're not the only one who can nail a role, Duke." Carmen taunts, resting her chin against the palm of her hand. Her gaze is preoccupied, even as she stares at the boundless passing of trees and snow.

Summary
Velma squints, blinking harshly to try and reorient herself in her surroundings. A blurry outstretched hand gently settles on her forehead.
She gasps with fear before weakly trying to swat away at the stranger.
"You're awake." A remarkably famillar voice pulls at her out of the lulling cradle of sleep.
The thin hand gently brushes Velma's bangs out of her eyes,
"Marcie?" Velma inquires meekly.
