[ Jayce really is oblivious if he's only starting to think that Viktor likes when he's ridiculous. He's liked it the whole time, and thought it embarrassingly obvious. He doesn't mention this, if only because he can't think straight with Jayce so close to him. It really is a problem, because before he'd been able to keep his emotions on a tight leash knowing that Jayce would never, ever want him, but now that he might actually be allowed to do things like kiss him, he's not sure he'll be able to think of anything else. It's worrisome. How is he ever going to get anything done in the lab without being consumed with very unscientific thoughts? ]

[ He recognizes that he sounds stupid even as he says it, but his rational mind is trapped behind a thick pane of glass at the moment. Viktor lets their lips brush—it feels like that time they connected the wrong wires and got an electric shock—tentatively at first, before leaning in to kiss Jayce in earnest, investigative even in this; he kisses like he wants to map every centimeter of Jayce's mouth by feel. ]
