    Summary

    A whisper of movement, and Jayce has barely turned his head before he feels it.

    Catastrophic. Earth shattering.

    A dull weight has settled into his side, a mess of chestnut locks spilling across Jayce’s shoulder, tickling his neck and chin. Jayce does his best to avoid moving too suddenly, afraid to frighten Viktor off- but when he peers around Viktor’s face, he finds the other to be fast asleep, his eyes gently closed in sleep, his mouth slightly parted.

    Or: Viktor falls asleep on Jayce’s shoulder. Jayce has feelings about this

    Summary

    Rationally, Jayce is aware that Viktor provokes fights purely for his own enjoyment at least half the time. Not even someone as dead-set on being a bastard can realistically find enough reasons to start an argument as frequently as Viktor does. Rationally, Jayce is aware that he only gives Viktor what he wants when he responds to the provocation with anything other than pure indifference.

    It’s real fucking difficult to stay indifferent when Viktor starts talking, though, and the urge to rip him apart is so physically overpowering, Jayce really has no other choice than to at least scream at him a little bit.

    Or: Viktor pushes, and Jayce has no other choice than to push back, because his ego has always been fragile like that.

    Summary

    Viktor finds it when he is going through Jayce’s notebook. Though maybe it is his, now, too, considering that Jayce has apparently diligently kept to signing every single page of his notes—egotistical bastard that he is—, but now adding Viktor’s name.

    But it is not the horribly misleading Viktor and Jayce Talis that catches his eye—although it certainly does, and he mentally bookmarks that discovery to tease Jayce about it later—or the sketches of his face—those he is aware of, Jayce is not subtle, though he is a little surprised at the quantity of them—but something else entirely.

    A guide. To his handwriting.

    It is colour-coded.

    Or: Viktor has such bad handwriting that literally one else can read it. That is, until Jayce comes along.

    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.

    Summary

    Friends make friends stuff all the time, and Jayce did break Viktor's cane. It'd be a nice thing to do. A cane, plus some cool tools, and Jayce will be able to know he's a good friend. He likes this plan.

    (Or, Jayce makes a new cane for Viktor. He then makes some more stuff. It spirals from there very, very quickly.)
