    Summary

    Spinning around fast enough to give himself whiplash, Viktor turns towards the figure closest to him that vaguely resembles an age-appropriate male-identifying person, and grabs their arm, leaning in to whisper-yell between gritted teeth.

    “Please go along with this and I promise to repay you in any way I can.”

    Option 3, the grand winner. Bribe a total stranger into helping him look like he’s not a sad single loser in front of his ex boyfriend.

    Summary

    The hands—the suggestion of hands and fingers in a play of light and shadow—clenched for a moment before going slack again. In the long silence that followed, Jayce tried to get his bearings. They were in a cave, but the entrance was close enough for the moon and stars to cast their pale light inside. He stood slowly, using the wall Viktor sat against to balance without his leg brace. One shuffling step towards the entrance; another. The air was clear and cold, sapping all warmth from his body.

    "We are a tad underdressed for the weather," Viktor said dryly, seeing him shiver.

    Jayce laughed. "We're underdressed for everything except one of Count Azika's famous parties."

    A post-canon fic of Jayce and Viktor getting to talk... and not talk.

    Summary

    "So this whole roommate thing. I just wanted to ask, like… what are you looking for? Should I totally leave you alone?” (God, please say no.) “Should we just be, like, cordial coworkers?” (Please, please, please say no.) “Or do you want to be more like… friends?”

    Viktor snorted. It was a sound Jayce was starting to crave. His heart squeezed.

    “Yes, Jayce.” Viktor stood, leaning on his cane. “I think we should be friends."

     

    (or: the one where jayce can't figure out why he cares so much about the guys his new roommate brings home... and doesn't realize he's fallen in love until he's completely and totally fucked.)
