    Summary

    Jayce is admittedly a little nervous as he makes the trek to Viktor's shitty apartment. He hasn't been to class in days, and a deadline is coming up for one of their projects.

    Sometimes Viktor gets in these moods.

    He won't eat, won't leave his house, rarely his bed– It's like he's trying to make himself non-existent, like if he curls up small enough he'll disperse into nothingness

    or;

    Viktor is like a work in progress, a prototype; his angles too sharp, his mind too unstable. One wrong move, and the whole thing could fall apart. He's infuriating. 

    Jayce thinks he loves Viktor as much as someone like him can love another person. 

    Viktor assures him he absolutely does not.

    Summary

    He thinks about - fantasises, really - sometimes, of another explosion in their lab. Blinding, arcing blue and collapsing rubble, and burning papers and the two of them, as always. Jayce and Viktor, brilliant minds, had so much promise, such a shame, nameless under the ring of debris and still clasping onto the magnitude of their dream embedded in their marrow.
    The years will pass until Piltover is razed to the ground and people, so far advanced and removed and evolved, excavate the remains of their clinging bones from the ringing halo of their lives’ work and piece them, bit by bit, back together.
    Viktor’s left tibia screwed to Jayce’s right femur, 48 ribs on either side of their single heart, cracked shards of their skull glued into some unholy sculpture, into one single fucked-up nightmare creature.
    He hopes they get their own museum exhibit. He hopes they get a plaque: Unknown Animal, now extinct.
    -
    No one else in the whole world understands what partner means to Jayce. This is a non-issue, so long as Viktor does.
