    Summary

    The good news: Viktor took a break at the right time for Jayce to watch him in the afternoon light, when he went to sit on the armchair by the window. It was an ethereal image - the sun caught the wild strands of his hair, dipping them in gold.

    The bad news: there was no way to represent this without switching to toned paper.

    The good news: Jayce bought toned paper.

    The bad news: Viktor ended up looking more like some kind of bioluminescent hedgehog.

    Or, Jayce draws Viktor, and sees Viktor. (...More or less. He gets there, eventually.)

    Summary

    He thought about Jayce, drawing him in what couldn't have been more than twenty minutes at a time; if he wanted to finish the sketch by the time Viktor shifted, he must have had to prioritise, put down wide, defining lines that cut to the core of what Viktor was.

    And what was Viktor?

    His reflection eyed him from the window, face impassable.

    Summary

    “So, be honest: is this the worst birthday you’ve ever had?”

    It’s a teasing question, a playful acknowledgement of a rather shit day, but as Jayce rests the champagne bottle between his knees he finds himself giving it serious thought. “Uh, no, probably not. That would be the year I turned nine.”

    Summary

    Satomi doesn’t have work tonight, but that doesn’t stop either of them from moving like they have minutes and not hours. There’s relief in knowing that Kyouji is eager to touch him, but the thin red lines decorating the back of his hand remind Satomi of the cat they saw on their way over from the station. Or rather, the cat’s reaction to Kyouji trying to pet it.

    “Cats probably hate you because you’re too heavy-handed,” Satomi tells him, pushing his glasses further up the bridge of his nose.
