   Summary

   "I'm not leaving you. You're my partner. If you won't let me heal you, then don't make me lose the little time I have left with you." Viktor's expression didn't change. "Please," Jayce begged, and he reached up, grabbing Viktor's hands in his own, and Viktor's stoic expression finally faltered, a wall behind his eyes collapsing. For the first time since he'd been told he was dying, Viktor looked sad.

   "Alright," Viktor whispered, and Jayce let out a shaky breath he didn't know he'd been holding. "There actually is something I could use your assistance with."

   "Anything," Jayce readily replied, and Viktor actually smiled at that a little bit. Jayce didn't ask why.
