: Every Timeline Every Possibility :

[hexualhealing]

[ Forehead to forehead, and an explosion of light that fell around them in a symphony of time and space while the words reverberated within his mind, 'you are perfect the way that you are'. Their souls fused, in every timeline and every possibility there could only be them. Divine clarity, that was what it certainly was. Viktor was full of it, of the breath of Jayce's breath against his own and the certainty that they would find each other.

But gods, they could not be allowed to repeat their mistakes.

So many mistakes that could've been avoided if they had only known.

Wherever they went, whatever possibility they faced-- Viktor prayed that he would know, that he would be able to guide them away from the hubris of their own machinations, and the machinations of others. Especially for the man who braved hell so that he could be here at the end with him-- Jayce full of idealism and hope, who despite choices made could push all of it aside for the two of them, to give grace to the same man who could not understand that his own choices had been just as full of error.

Perhaps they could meet in the middle?

Underwater, Viktor had been underwater. He woke up in a start with the sun just peeking just above the horizon, trailing through his window with the first glimmers of morning. A deep breath like he had never breathed before in his entire life while air filled his gasping and aching lungs-- and that ache spread throughout his entire body.

Somewhere out there, Jayce was out there.

Waiting for him. "Every timeline, every possibility" he breathed as if it was a mantra.

There were memories of a life before this moment of wake-up, but it was coupled with the sudden infusion of life before, another era and another universe. Viktor had been given a second chance, and he would not squander it-- that is if he could find Jayce. Gods, Piltover was so big, and he was but one man; countless lives on the freeway of these souls, but he needed to find the exact one. Gods, what a challenge and with the limitations of his own body which he felt keenly.

But not weakness, never weakness as he forced himself out of bed and his body to cooperate with his own fragility. His cane was reached for and then he set about to go about his daily routine which came just as effortlessly as the time before all of this. ]

Comments

[hexualhealing]

[ First vest was taken off, and then finally his very neat and button down shirt, and then he was laid bare for Jayce to drink in, his rather too thin frame-- but he did not focus on the fact that Jayce was viewing him, he reached for the buttons and then he was undoing his partner's shirt, revealing flesh inch by inch with each unfasten, the chest that managed to be smooth and then finally that stomach that was just as toned.

He did not know how Jayce had time to work-out with all the research they did.

But it was marvelous nevertheless.

Distractedly, his thumbs found the nipple peaks and then he very lightly pinched at them with a sort of fascination that was focused, Viktor was very good at hyper-fixation and he had found one that was quite fascinating. ]

[hexpectations]

[A drink him in he did. Thin, yes, and Jayce would be unable to help himself from turning taking care of Viktor into something of a mission -- making sure his partner remembered to eat and drink, sleep, occasionally let Jayce pamper him as fully as was humanly possible.

Jayce's voice caught on a hiss of pleasure as those clever fingers went and toyed with his nipples. Well, leave it to Viktor to dive straight in to driving Jayce absolutely wild.

But Jayce was not content to let Viktor be the only one visiting pleasure on him. Oh no, he wanted to slowly and sweetly take the other man apart until Viktor forgot everything but this inevitable collision between the two of them, so long coming, and only the start of something new and thrilling. He stepped closer, crowding Viktor where he was propped on the countertop, making himself at home between his legs and ducking his head to kiss the sharp, elegant angle of his jaw, down along his neck, mouth taking its time to taste pale skin again again, scrapes of his teeth soothed with brushing of his tongue.]

[hexualhealing]

[ That talented mouth rendered him nearly speechless with desire; his eyes fluttering closed as he arched himself much like a cat; for all that he had little point of reference for this-- his body was doing quite a good job of telling Jayce that he liked what he was doing. Jayce's mouth would be able to taste the swallow against his throat, and as he crowded in he would find that there was a sizeable arousal underneath those trousers.

His calloused thumb (and oh did he have a calloused hand, from the tinkering that he did) attached a nipple with a vengeance, trying to squeeze the pleasure out of Jayce that he was also feeling-- a personal sort of challenge that he set for himself. ]

Gods.. Jayce.

[ Viktor groaned those words out, another echoing sound that could be felt with lips, he seemed to be very physically acoustic with the sounds that he made with each ply and play of skilled fingers and lips. ]

[hexpectations]

[Jayce was growing intoxicated over each new reaction. As stoic as Viktor could be, it was thrilling to hear those sounds of pleasure, to feel that whip-cord lean body react beneath his touch.

It was also thrilling -- and a bit startling -- to feel the press of Viktor's arousal against him because oh that did feel like a sizeable cock waiting for his attention within the confines of those trousers.

Another scrape of his teeth, and he quite deliberately sucked at the spot, fully intending on giving Viktor the first of what would be many hickeys even as the other man seemed intent on teasing him with the attention at his nipples, the attention making the hardened nubs ache and launching that same ache straight down to pool low in his stomach.]

Took the words right out of my mouth, sweetheart...

[His own hands had dropped down until his fingers could start working his pants open.]

What have you been hiding here?

[hexualhealing]

Damn it, you are not playing fair-- Jayce.

[ A indrawn sucked in hiss as the silky gruff purr of Jayce's words hit him right where it mattered the most, in the part of his brain that was responsible for sending signals of arousal. Due to his very pale skin, a hickey would not be hard to place upon it.. and already the spot was turning a delightful shade of pink from the sucking-- and that would ripen to a darker spot as the minutes and hours passed.

Not to mention the throb underneath pants seemed to dance in time with the question that came from his partner. ]

You know very well what is under there.

[ His hand slid around so that he could reach to grasp against hips and flank, to keep the other man steady-- or maybe more important himself steady from the the way his body was responding. And it was all because Jayce was being sexy, and it was not fair-- now he was at the disadvantage. ]

[hexpectations]

Not trying to either.

[Jayce admitted quietly, clearly not even remotely apologetic about this fact. He did not want to play fair, he wanted to make Viktor come apart for him. And to make Viktor come. Perhaps a few times before the night was through.

He had Viktor's trousers open and with a very eager hand, he reached inside the other's underwear, and slowly drew him free. His breath caught and he bit at his bottom lip as he took that more than generous cock in his hand.]

Oh... no, sweetheart. I really did not. But now I do. [And he would get to know it a great deal more intimately were he given the chance.]

[hexualhealing]

[ If he was not so turned on, hard and aching, he would've sputtered a bit indignatly; but the lip bite was what did it-- those eyes that slid over him intimately. In their previous lives, all needs save for the cerebral were 'barely' met, that included the urges to touch himself-- now he was growing aware that if Jayce had looked at him like this, there may have been problems.

Big prick-shaped problems.

He stayed still, holding his breath as his cock was removed; he was dripping profusely-- perhaps more than he had anticipated; the cockhead smeared with precome that caught slick against Jayce's hand.

He was proactive however, and he was going to paw at Jayce's own pants fastenings, perhaps a bit ineffectual as he was still riding on the pleasure that Jayce was doling out; so he worked it open and shoved the fabric aside though it was not a thing of grace. ]

Two can play at this, Jayce Talis... [ He threatened which amounted to a hiss much like a grumpy kitten would. ]

[hexpectations]

[Jayce let his fingers slide down along the length of Viktor's cock, smearing slick precome down along heated flesh, learning the shape and weight of him, the way he felt in his hand. He also wondered how else he might feel elsewhere, and Jayce was quite keen on finding out -- what the other man would feel like inside him, filling him, what he'd taste like, how Viktor would feel wrapped around his prick, every and any which way.

He nuzzled in against Viktor's jaw, smiling against skin at that threat, enjoying the frankly indelicate way that his usually so-precise lab partner had taken care of his pants.]

Can they, Viktor?

[Please, show him, make good on that threat Jayce was here for it and whatever his grumpy kitten had in store for him.]

[hexualhealing]

[ Well fuck his life and everything in it, the moment that Jayce's hand wrapped around his prick he arched up without any conscious thought; his body aching with such pleasure. He was rendered speechless by the feelings, and for a moment his hand flagged upon the fastenings. Viktor finally remembered himself and then he was back to his task, a part pant and part huff expelling from his lips; fingers breeched confines and then he was rummaging within, his own hands finally curving around something hot and quivering. ]

Yes, they can. [ Both his voice and his cock seeming to strain though in entirely different ways.

All the while he worked to memorize what he was feeling, his thumb within such cramped quarters following a vein on the underside-- all the while his cheeks heated. ] I will have you know that I only seem larger because I am so thin, it is the law of proportions.

[ Perhaps this was his way of contextualizing the pleasure, with science. ]

[hexpectations]

[Oh that was pretty. Jaye would rather like to see that again, the way that Viktor's entire body seemed to be affected by his touch. He wanted to find out each and every way Viktor would react for him, find out all the secret places on the other man's body that would drive him craziest. And Jayce Talis was an observant, thorough man who did not do anything by halves.

It was his turn to hiss out lowly as Viktor went and proved that turnabout was fair play. His hips jerked towards that hand as it moved over his length. Jayce was no slouch in the prick department either; he was the wielder of more than one impressive hammer, so to speak.

He laughed again, but it was a roughened, breathless sound.]

Whatever you say, sweetheart... [A soft murmur amused that that Viktor was trying to defend the fact that he had a big cock, as if Jayce hadn't been a first hand witness of years of science-flavored Big Dick Energy (TM) from Viktor.]

[hexualhealing]

[ Viktor had always understood that Jayce was such a bright vibrant and energetic soul, but also extremely gentle; he had never been ignorant of the fact that when he gave speeches, he searched for him in the crowd-- but now he was seeing the playful side-- like a puppy with so much energy.

Viktor had always been a cat person but there was not a world that existed where he did not want that boundless loyal energy to be rained upon him. That being said, he continued to stroke with questing fingers while he arched his own hips so that he was rolling himself into that cupped palm, leaking even more precome. Together it was a perfect balance of give and take. ]

I cannot think of any threat good enough for ah... this moment. [ his teeth caught against that lower lip, as if there was so much energy within him that needed an outlet ]

[hexpectations]

[Viktor had him right, of course. Jayce was a golden retriever of a man, loyal and eager and so intent on pleasing and doing good. This was never truer than it was in this moment, with Viktor.

He breathed a soft moan against Viktor's neck as the other man stroked against him.]

Mmhmm... threats can wait for later.

[Right now he had to kiss Viktor or he would die. He was pretty sure of it. So he kissed him. And then again and again. His hand continued moving over and along Viktor's cock.]

I have a little bed... in a supply room. Would that be more comfortable for you?

[Because Jayce was quite intent on taking care of Viktor through all of this. Also it would make for easier cuddling in the afterglow. Not that Jayce knew whether or not Viktor was a cuddler. Jayce was, which would probably surprise a grand total of no one.]

[hexualhealing]

[ He took it in the spirit that it was broached, that Jayce wanted what was the most comfortable for the both of them-- and he was not inclined to refuse; also? There was the projects on the workbench to consider, Viktor may not have a care for his own well-being but the hard-won gains of science.. well, he was a nerd.

So in between the searing kisses of Jayce's hot mouth, he let a sound of assent as he drew his hand out of the trousers rather regretfully, and then placed his hand on that shoulder. ]

We should preserve the integrity of your work.

[ So yes, Jayce.. lead on, though his cane was clattered to the ground so he would need someone to lean against on the way to the bed. ] Best hurry up though, if I am too far away from contact from you.. I may get too cold.

[hexpectations]

[Pfah. Like Jayce had any inclination to let Viktor's feet touch the ground right now, when he could, instead, not allow a single inch of space between them and just port Viktor off in his arms. He very reluctantly let his fingers unwrap from around Viktor's length, but he stepped in closer, hands running up Viktor's sides, to guide those arms up and around his shoulders.]

I wouldn't dream of letting you get cold. Hold onto me, sweetheart.

[And Jayce would slip his hands beneath Viktor's thighs and hold his partner to him, heading off to the makeshift bedroom that he spent more nights in than he'd care to admit in this reality.]

I do appreciate your concern for my research. Very considerate and full of scientific integrity which is, of course, extremely sexy.

[It was not a long trip to their destination, thankfully, and Jayce would quite carefully lay Viktor down onto the blanket-covered mattress.]

[hexualhealing]

[ Viktor was picked up as if he weighed very little, which to be fair-- he probably did. But within the circle of those arms he felt safe and protected, like nothing could dare hurt or harm him. He remembered turning away from Jayce after the other man had ressurected him using the Hexcore, and if he'd his emotions he would have been moved by the raw feeling in Jayce's eyes.

Very softly he pressed a kiss to the cheek while they were enroute to the more comfortable flat surface, closing his eyes as the scent of Jayce's cologne suffused him and made him want painfully. Not just a physical or mental connection with Jayce, but an emotional one too. It was the final key in the lock of their relationship.

As he was set down on the mattress, he grabbed Jayce by the shirt left hanging from the unbuttoning and then pulled him down, it was a very certain gesture. For all the lack of experience, he knew he wanted Jayce with something blinding and passionate, wanted the other man with all his charm and kindness, everything that Viktor was not. ]

I want you, Jayce Talis-- all of you, every single perfect part of you and I am not talking just about your body, which is so perfect that it is borderline disgusting, but your heart and your mind.

[hexpectations]

[That terrible day had been the last time that Jayce had carried Viktor in his arms, too frantic to form much memory of it save for how motionless and broken the other man's body had been, how lifeless and how desperately he needed to find a way to save him. In this moment, Viktor was exquisitely, vibrantly alive, holding onto him and pressing that sweet kiss to his cheek.

A startled gasp as he found himself pulled by his shirt, straight into Viktor's space, and oh wasn't that the most delicious place that he could imagine being. Jayce wanted him too, needed him in a way that felt like it would subsume him in heat and desperation. And he wanted everything else of him too, that guarded heart and brilliant mind and subtly wicked sense of humor. He wanted to spend the rest of his life -- the rest of their lives -- making him happy.

He braced his weight with one arm to one side of Viktor, close enough that their breath mingled.]

Borderline disgusting... careful sweetheart, I'll blush...

[A gentle teasing because he was already blushing at hearing Viktor say that he wanted him, all of him.]

You have me, Viktor. All of me is yours. I think maybe it always has been.

[It just took some time for Jayce to figure that out.]

[hexualhealing]

[ He caught that blush and it was perhaps one of the most charming things about Jayce, how easily he coloured across those features that were dusted like sunset. And then he pressed a kiss to that chin in response because he wanted to see more of that blush as it rose across the features. The proximity was very nice and absolutely welcome, perhaps he used that opportunity to hook his own ankle against Jayce's. ]

Oh...

[ He had not expected that but this his words come out, a husky litany of emotion from someone who was not used to it. ] Every timeline, every possibility.

[ It had been him who had saved little Jayce when he had been alone in the wilderness trying to rescue his mother, because it had been a previous version of Viktor come to bring his succor to him. ]

[hexpectations]

[Yeah well, blushing was on the menu, especially at that sweet and frankly adorable little kiss. And Jayce couldn't resist returning it, his lips brushing against Viktor's cheekbone before he rested their foreheads together once more, what was quickly becoming a grounding, comforting gesture for Jayce. He was adrift in a new version of reality, but he had Viktor, and the other man was the lighthouse that his soul needed to guide it home.

His heart skipped over itself as Viktor echoed those words back to him, how dire they had seemed the first time he'd heard them and how sweet they had become now.

Viktor saved him. He'd saved Viktor, and they'd both been the other's destruction too, in turn.]

That's right. And I'll be yours in each and every one. You're tangled up in my soul, Vik. I don't know how to exist without you, and I don't want to learn.

[hexualhealing]

You do not have to.

[ He started to push the fabric off of Jayce's broad shoulders, once again a part of the disgustingly sexy physique that was the other man's body, and then he pressed a kiss against the shoulder once one slid of fabric was over the other. Scraping his teeth them he was starting to reach between them so that he could undo the pants that the other man wore, hoping perhaps to shove them down rather tellingly.

Fuck did he want the other man. ]

Then you do not have to.. not now, not ever. I will follow you, I will be your ruin and your salvation and you will be mine.

[ Head back them fully so that he could look at Jayce with that melting honey gold gaze full of warmth that had been lacking from the last act of their last life, up until when they had met at the end of all eternity. ]

[hexpectations]

[Jayce shifted his weight enough to shrug out of his shirt completely, sitting up only long enough to fling it away before lowering down once more to find Viktor's lips with his own, nearly covering the other man's smaller form with his own.

His ruin and his salvation. Fuck him why was that the single most romantic thing that he'd ever heard in his entire life? Fate had tossed them together, after all, and Jayce intended to take over from fate now to make sure that they stayed that way. He looked into those eyes, golden and with all the gentleness he'd come to know in Viktor, before that warmth had been stripped away by the Hexcore.

For all that had gone wrong, that was the greatest sin of their hubris, that this soft, warm side of Viktor had nearly been lost entirely.]

Good... then we're in agreement.

[And with that Jayce redoubled his own efforts to get Viktor out of the rest of his clothes, needing to rid them both of everything between them, no matter how miniscule that barrier might be.]

[hexualhealing]

[ There was no one but Jayce, had never been anyone but Jayce.

Ever since he'd seen him defending himself to the Council, he'd known that they would be something to each other though he did not know what-- for Viktor he'd ever been connected to people through the mind and shared thoughts; and Jayce's had been a beautiful garden which had been forever evergreen; something in which he who had never run in his life, could sprint through.

Then as he had gotten to know Jayce fully, that sprint turned into a stroll to savor all that was there; and that was when he had fallen in love, known that he would do anything for Jayce Talis.

He lifted his hips in order for Jayce to take them off; he was much practical to be shy about his body despite it's flaws and imperfections. In his life there had been no room for conceit of any kind. ]

[hexpectations]

[Jayce took advantage of Viktor's assistance, sliding those trousers and underwear down his legs and off entirely. IT meant he had to put a bit more distance between them for a moment, but such sacrifices must be made for forward progress. And oh this was progress. With nothing in his way now, Jayce took the opportunity to let first his eyes and then his hands run up Viktor's legs, his hips, a brief detour to brush along that nearly concave stomach and up over his chest, noting that one of his missions in life now was to make Viktor's ribs slightly harder to count. Flaws and imperfections were impossible to even consider, giving each one added up to make Viktor Viktor, and as far as Jayce was concerned, Viktor was...] Perfect... [A soft pronouncement, murmured half to himself.

His gaze lifted to seek out the other man's.]

I've dreamed about this before, you know.

[Please don't ask him what it's like to wake up next to the woman you're dating straight out of a dream of making love to your best friend and lab partner, because unfortunately he knows all too well exactly how awkward that is and how much thinking it makes a man do.

Less thinking now though, when all the blood in his body has been redirected to his arousal, far from his brain.]

[hexualhealing]

[ The only thinking that Viktor wanted Jayce to do in this moment was to think about his next steps right in the moment; those fingers were warm and he arched up into them like a feline would, being thin made him feel colder and so any spot of warmth made him absoluty purr-- a rumble at the back of his throat.

Even though his own cock dripped and begged for attention, he would be quietly feral for any contact that Jayce could provide even if it was teasing.

Viktor was far more patient than he had any right to be. His own eyes slid over the broad plains of Jacye's body and then his tongue slid over his lower lip in a gesture that he was not aware he had done ]

I have no preference, I am trusting on your assistance in helping me to test out various ways and methods. [ Oh no, he's casually inferring the scientific method into these carnal moments between them; that was dirty talk for science nerds ]

[hexpectations]

[Dog person Jayce was entirely enchanted by his incredibly feline-coded lover. Funny how that worked, wasn't it? But he was so entirely smitten with the way that Viktor reacted for him, that soft rumble, the way that lean body arched against his touch. Oh yes he was a fan.

He leaned in to press a kiss to those lips.]

Oh? We're running experiments now, are we? Should we diagram this out first?

[But Jayce was in full agreement.]

I have no preference either, sweetheart. I'm versatile. [Lies. He was the most bottom-est bottom of all times, but was a very talented service top, so close enough.]

Have you been with another man before?

[hexualhealing]

[ Did Viktor even think they needed to diagram this out? Likely not, but when it came down to it he knew both of their capabilities rather well, he also knew that Jayce was probably not the one who would take charge between them and that was fine (unless it was of course getting Viktor to eat, in which case the scientist was underestimating him.).

A raise of a brow as he considered what Jayce was saying. ]

Jayce, I have had no interest in anyone but you, in all lifetimes.

[ Which was a no, though he decided to affirm it point blank. ] No one else would even remotely be worth my time and attention.

[ Which honestly had been a sad thing for Sky, though he had been quite fond of her in a non romantic and non-sexual way, just oblivious to her crush on him ] So I am a virgin, at least in this life, and most certainly our previous lifetime.
