    Summary

    “Viktor…” Jayce breathed out, the name escaping him like a prayer. He inhaled again, deeply, greedily, as though trying to fill his lungs with the very essence of the man before him. The faint scent of clay and oil paint clung to Viktor’s clothes, grounded by the subtle, earthy trace of oak and pine from the wood and tools he worked with. It wrapped around Jayce like a cocoon, warm and grounding. Every part of Viktor-his presence, his scent, the gentle cadence of his voice—was threading itself through Jayce’s senses, leaving no room for anything else.
    Viktor’s lips curved into a soft, knowing smile, the faintest blush creeping up his cheeks. The firelight caught the gold flecks in his eyes, making them shimmer like starlight. “Are you struggling to speak, Jayce?”
    Not another minute could pass without Viktor knowing. He had to know. Jayce couldn’t bear the weight of this feeling pressing against his ribs, unspoken. “I admire you…” The words tumbled out unbidden, raw and real, cracking with the intensity of the truth behind them.

    ... Often, art comes from a place deep within, a final release of breath from a scream never spoken.
