I feel like Jayce is a jealous partner, but not in a "oh you are mine 😈" way, more like a "oh why not me?🥺 please I want it to be me sooo bad please please please 🥺🥺🥺" way
Yessss, I feel like the reason most of us (me at least) get the ick with jealousy tropes is cuz so often it borders on possessive or downright controlling/manipulative. But then there’s that harmless kind of jealousy. The kind that’s like… sad puppy crying because you’re petting another dog.
Jayce doesn’t voice any of it, doesn’t act on it. But he can’t help that pang in his heart, the flinch when it’s not him being lavished in attention. And it makes him so easy to tease—all Viktor has to do is get a little too chatty, a little too handsy with some nameless supplier, and then watch with no small amount of satisfaction as Jayce grows more and more jittery. I want that to be me so badly, his body language so clearly says. And depending on what kind of evening Viktor is prepared to have (i.e. how much sleep he’s prepared to lose 😈), then he can continue this all day long, letting Jayce stew in his need until it reaches a boiling point.
And just when it does, when the day is over and they’re finally alone, Viktor gives all that attention back—all that fuss over a little harmless conversation? Really, now. Can’t even stand to be apart from me for a single day, can you? Come here you needy thing.
