Yes, of course. But until we figure it out, stopping your suffering is what matters most. Maybe. I don't know if he'll like that. Please let me know what he says if you ask him.
Yes. I really thought this was over.
[ 'This', being Viktor in pain. At risk. That's why Jayce is upset, his partner was hurt, and he's once again not sure what to do about it. ]
[ Yeah, you might want to be clear about that Jayce. Because right now Viktor is cursing at Hawke more in his thoughts. Once again he feels like a disappointment thanks to something he can't control. ]
I'm sorry, Jayce. This was why I didn't say anything. I didn't want to cause you to worry.
Yes well, allow me to rephrase; I didn't want to cause you to worry about me.
[ Knowing the difference between others worrying about his safety and him being the source of their stress is something that Victor still struggles with. ]
[ Jayce's face softens at that, and now it really is a shame Viktor can see it. ]
It's a difficult thing, I know. No one probably likes to talk about these things. And I know I can get a bit too much of a mother hen sometimes too, I'm sorry for that. Just want you to have a good, happy life.

[ It is not Hawke's fault for mentioning it, either, the conversation simply turned that way. ]
You know me, I always worry. Kind of an expert on that, actually.

That said, I'd rather you tell me when you're not feeling well.
[ If Jayce can't fix what causes the pain, at least he wants to try and help to offer some comfort. ]
no subject
[ Over the years he's been less and less able to hide it from Jayce, but that doesn't stop him from trying. ]

[ Preferable free of pain, if possible. ]

Do you think that I'm not having one now? I've dreamed all my life of being able to go do simple things that other people do, like walking.
[ Like dating. ]
no subject
[ Dating is very good. ]
Since walking is on the table, what do you say we go a step further and try going dancing?
no subject
[ Viktor's kneejerk reaction is to hide, but if Jayce wanted to do it... ]
no subject
[ He wants to dance with Viktor, he doesn't need an audience to make his partner uncomfortable. ]
It was nice when we did it at Tony's party, on the balcony.
no subject
[ You can't see it, but he did smile and blush a bit. ]
no subject
[ Pity, he would love to see it. ]
