    Summary

    Jayce inhales sharply as his lower lip wobbles. What he wouldn’t give to be back in the dingy physics building, suspected asbestos and poor ventilation included. What he wouldn’t give to be sharing a cup of coffee with Viktor over their kitchen table.

    What he wouldn’t give to be with Viktor again.

    Or: After a fight with Viktor, Jayce goes on a week-long hike to clear his head in the misty April air. Someone else comes out of the mountains six months later.

    Summary

    He retrieves the mandolin from the floor and sets about pulling it from its case while Jayce eats.

    “I thought it was beautiful,” he continues, “and I remembered seeing one in your apartment the night we met, so I was certain you could help me to learn to play it.”

    There’s a wicked grin on his face, one that Jayce knows well. It’s the smile he had on his face the night they met, the one that promised everything if Jayce just reached out and took it. He’s not sure what Viktor is promising with his smile now, but despite all his doubts, Jayce knows already that he wants everything his partner could ever offer.

    *

    Jayce may have lost most of his hearing and a lot of his mobility, but Viktor helps remind him that not all new things have to hurt with the help of a mandolin.

    Summary

    Jayce groans. This whole train of thought was supposed to distract him from his body, and here it is, imposing itself unwanted and omnipresent.

    Put in the crudest, roughest form, Jayce wants to get on his hands and knees, crawl across the floor, and kneel at Viktor’s feet.

    And it’s hard to kneel when his leg is fucked.

    A rumination on the subject of bodies and desire, as observed by Jayce Talis at three in the morning.
