Work Text:
Mel is a lovely woman. Smart as all hell and a beautiful body. Funny and kind, perfect. But still Jayce can’t help but yearn for the faint humming of a scientist at work, the thump of a cane indicating someone is awake, the pure joy that filled him when he saw his partner. Mel would be enough for anyone other than him. She couldn’t do anything to change that. Jayce yearned for Viktor but he was far too far gone. Jayce would continue his love with Mel and fake the smiles and maybe one day be able to truly love her. But he will always search for the spark behind her eyes and be met with hallow nothingness.
