[ A huffed sigh as Viktor watches Jayce before moving to the bed. He'll sit at the edge of it, looking a bit uncertain as to what to do, before he finally climbs onto the bed and rests his back against the headboard. The waiting makes him think, makes him unsure, and overthink, so he's blurting something out before he has a chance to stop himself. ]
I hope that you are not disappointed or simply doing this out of obligation, Jayce. This is not exactly what you had planned. You can tell me if you do not want to continue... [ Viktor!! ]
I feel like I should make it up to you somehow. [ In someways he feels like he's ruined a perfectly romantic evening together with his need to study his own body. ]
[Jayce, who had been mid-searching through his drawers to find his tools, picks up a small socket wrench as he gives a Look over to Viktor.]
Do you know how crazy I'd have to be to not want to spend time with you? It doesn't matter if this is what I had planned. The point was to spend time with you. We can do my thing another time.
[With his toolkit discovered, he brings over the box that jingles around from the sounds of metal pieces bumping up against each other, and he sets it on the bed next to Viktor's thigh. Climbing up onto the bed himself, he holds himself up over Viktor, keeping eye contact (for now).]
Because I also want to see what's going on in there. I've been wanting to take a look inside since that day you woke up.
[ Viktor does stiffen ever so slightly when Jayce says his name like that. The look also makes his cheeks flush as his gaze averts itself. He makes his hands busy with, well, the edges of his robe. ]
Of course. I didn't think you would be disappointed about that, spending time with me, but merely...this. [ Though hearing that Jayce has been wanting to see what's inside of him just as much as he has isn't surprising either. ]
Do you ever think about how there might have been a timeline where I might have stayed long enough for you and me to do so?
[ But it probably inevitably went wrong, as all of them had, but sometimes he does think about it. He's been watching Jayce the entire time, even as he climbs onto the bed and hovers over him. Viktor will reach out to bring one of Jayce's hands to his chest, face heating up with the action, and that whirling sound inside his chest drones on like white noise. There's also the electrical buzzing, and that's where Viktor's gaze averts itself toward the toolbox beside them both. ]
I will be sure to let you know if anything feels strange.
[Still holding himself up over Viktor, Jayce's expression changes to something more solemn, and a little hurt. He knows Viktor didn't mean to trigger a memory like that, but;]
I did.
[One of his sleepless nights in the ravine. Even before he knew that different timelines could exist upon meeting that older version of Viktor, his mind played out every possible version of their interactions. As far as he knows, there is a timeline where that happens. Where somewhere along the line, he doesn't disappoint Viktor enough into leaving. Would that have been a doomed timeline, too? Or are they both alive and happy in that one?
Jayce sits back onto Viktor's legs, freezes and hesitates for a moment with panic on his face like he forgot Viktor's legs are no longer frail, and then sighs and sits back down on them so he can dig through his tool box.]
Yeah, do that. I'm going to start with the pieces on your abdomen.
[ He notices the hurt and realizes what he's said...not a particularly good memory for either of them but it simply slipped his mind and from his mouth as a genuine question of intrigue. He will reach up to cup Jayce's cheek with a hand. ]
I apologize. I had not meant to make so light of it. [ It had been a hard time for them both after all. Viktor's expression softens as he lies back against the bed, nodding silently. ]
I am terribly curious to see what exactly is in there. [ Weird way to speak about your own body, Viktor!! But he does want to know just as much, if not more than Jayce. ] Go slow, and take your time.
[He doesn't blame Viktor, knows he didn't mean to summon those memories. It's a Jayce thing, and he pushes those thoughts away to focus on the task at hand.]
I wonder if you even... have organs anymore? Sure, you still have your nervous system and your reproductive system, but the rest? Do you even have... bones?
[Something he hadn't even considered Viktor not having until this point. He might not even have bones!
Jayce takes his socket wrench and begins unscrewing the bolts on Viktor's abdomen. As he removes the first bolt, he looks back up to Viktor.]
Mm. I am not sure I even have a normal system for either of those.
[ Viktor's lips remain pursed as he watches and waits. He would like to talk more about it, or at least know Jayce is talking to someone about it outside of himself, but that's a discussion for another time.
His attention is more focused on that screwdriver, and while the act of it touching those bolts isn't felt, the following removal certainly is. ] No, nothing y-ye—
[ Except with the release of that first bolt, Viktor lets out a soft 'oh' of surprise, and the lights within his body pulse with that action. There's a sharp intake of breath from Viktor as his eyes shift through every possible color imaginable. His face flushed as a strangely pleasurable yet almost painful feeling ran through him. ] —that was something.
[ He's pointedly looking away when he says that. ]
[Jayce pauses and looks to Viktor when he reacts, freezing still in case it was something out of pain. It doesn't seem to be the case, at least exclusively. Jayce tilts his head a little, raising an eyebrow with a curious expression.]
We're studying and researching, aren't we? Can't write "something" down as the result, that'd be awful for our notes. Use more words.
[He knows Viktor's looking away because he's shy of whatever reaction he's having, so Jayce'll have to tease it out of him. In response, he moves down a section, to the bolt below it, and intending to remove that one too.]
Do-Do not give me that look. You are unbolting pieces of me; the words to use to describe this are lacking quite a bit. [ Just a testy, huffed, reply as his eyebrows knit together. It's also said a bit teasingly because this really is ridiculous. But, alright, he's going to try his best with all of this?? A soft sigh as he regains a bit of his composure. ]
It...feels like a pressure valve, when there is a buildup, and it must be released. Undoing those screws is that release, and it is both relieving and...not.
[ Painful in all the right ways, he wants to say, but he sure as hell doesn't! His expression flusters even more because he's learning things about himself that he's probably known but just never really thought about. Pain being attributed to pleasure is not what he was expecting, but here they are. ]
The other feeling when watching you do that is-is perhaps best explained as when your stomach drops, when you see something you must have, and your breath catches in your lungs. Exhilarating and nervous, but there is also a soft, electrifying vibration when that screwdriver is pressed against the bolt itself.
[ Whether or not his stomach dropping is because he's enjoying Jayce touching him in such a fascinating and mildly horrifying way is another story. The electrifying vibration could be attributed to Viktor's own powers of melding flesh with metal, like he had done back in the commune. ]
Like a pressure valve… [Jayce repeats like he’s memorizing it, like he really is going to write this down for their notes later.]
The release is good, but does the lack of pressure make you feel empty? Or is it something else?
[He finishes unscrewing the second bolt, but doesn’t remove it right away, as Viktor explains more about what he’s feeling.]
Better explanation. That wasn’t hard, was it?
[There’s a smugness in his tone, of course. But Viktor’s announced that he wants Jayce to continue, so even if there’s some discomfort, it’s not anything Viktor’s flagging as a problem. Nothing that’s outright painful— or Jayce would stop outright, and they both know it.
The second bolt is almost all the way out, Jayce makes eye contact with Viktor, and this time sets the tool aside, instead placing his large fingers on the edges of the bolt, pinching it like he would a nipple.]
Can you feel each part individually? Or is this more like… a decoration? Extraneous to you? Is it the “skin” around it that has the sensation?
Empty? Somewhat. Mm, but it is more of a...relaxed feeling, I suppose? [ His voice is a little bit airy, and his eyes, even though they're staring at Jayce like he's hung the stars, do look a bit distant now. ] It has initiated a slightly disconnected feeling. Like I am not entirely inhabiting this body...
[ Viktor speaks as he watches Jayce place the screwdriver down and then takes that bolt in between his fingers and, oh, that is a different sensation than the one he had previously. It feels extremely good, but Viktor suspects it's due to the close proximity of Jayce's hand to the glowing openings left by the bolt's removal.
It even makes a noise of pleasure fall from his lips as he's quick to grab Jayce's wrist with a shaky hand. ] One thing at a time, Jayce.
[ He's trying to focus on all those questions asked of him, but give him a second to recuperate!! ]
I can feel it when it is separated like that. It feels...good, to be manipulated as such. I suspect that the openings they are leaving behind are the sensitive parts, or as you put it, the 'skin' around it. Near the rim, just like the gaps in my skin, are sensitive to touch. It is the inner light that I do believe is giving rise to such stimulus.
[ He is going to regret asking this, but he really wants to see, wants to make sure. The hand still wrapped around Jayce's wrist moves it over the first opening. Viktor, with half-lidded eye,s will tilt his head slightly as he gives it second thought. ] Try putting your finger inside one of them?
[It’s definitely apparent this is doing something for Viktor, even before he mentions the disconnect from his body— which sounds concerning, if Viktor didn’t seem like he was taking pleasure from it. Last time Viktor felt disconnected from his body alone was… well. Not the best time.
Jayce is obviously easily steamrolling onward, ready to take Viktor apart quickly since that’s what they’re after, but he didn’t consider how that pace could easily overwhelm Viktor and he slows to a halt once his wrist is grabbed.]
Oh…
[Viktor’s really getting something out of this, huh? That thought dusts a slight blush to his cheeks, because it just seems so… surprising? It’s not at all like just touching genitals, there’s something happening here he doesn’t understand much at all.]
I see… So the rim…
[He’ll be gentler this time, but pulling the screw out and putting it aside, he instead opts to run his pointer finger around the hole, circling it a few times before he dips his finger in, still rubbing the edges of it with his large finger as if he’s seeking the ridges that would hold a screw in there. He’s cautious, exploratory, but insistent in his pressing because his own curiosity needs stating.]
Y-Yes. Just-just like that-! [ A loud 'oh' falls from his lips before a very sensual and extremely low moan that Viktor cannot exactly keep from escaping him as he watches for a brief moment, Jayce's finger runs around the rim housing that bolt. His eyes snap shut as he lets out a soft huff of breath. His back arches ever so slightly into that exploratory motion, the hand on Jayce's wrist tightens its grip ever so slightly before letting go. Almost like any latent fear he's had about this whole process is eased away, thanks to Jayce being the one to do it.
It feels better than almost anything else he's felt here so far. If Jayce's finger dips a bit further inside, it will be met with something as well. Not entirely fluid, but there is some resistance in the form of something puddy-like that exists within Viktor's chest cavity. There is a soft whiteish glow if he were to peer inside past his finger that pulsates as well. ]
Oh. J-Jayce. That feels... it feels incredible. Like everything is heightened, your hand especially. [ Just a soft mutter as his eyes finally open again to a swirling of chaotic colors and variations. He'll lean up to kiss Jayce again, biting his lower lip before panting, breath hot, against his mouth as a hand goes to curl into Jayce's hair. ]
Keep going. Just-Just a little bit further. [ He needs to know how deep one can possibly go before it becomes too painful for him, if at all. Right now, it just feels indescribably good. ]
[Jayce hasn’t blinked, his eyes tracking Viktor’s movements, his ears attuned exactly to Viktor’s voice. That arch, that moan— there could be a fire or an earthquake happening just behind Jayce and he wouldn’t notice. This is his world, right now.
He feels that putty, presses it firmer, and then slides his finger out so he can peer inside the hole to see what it is. Ferrofluid, maybe? The goo that Viktor had been bound in at one point shared similar properties to that material, but this feels not quite the same.]
Viktor, [he starts, interrupted by the kiss and the feeling of Viktor’s hot breath on his cooling wet lips, and Jayce looks down at himself to see he is once again, throbbing hard. He hadn’t even been thinking about himself right now, so entranced by Viktor and his reactions.] Yeah. Yeah, okay. A little further. Stop me if it feels wrong.
[He brings his finger back to the opening and pushes his finger in, the tip of his finger brushing that putty material again and then he pushes further, feeling the tight ring brush against his knuckle, his full finger now inserted.]
[ Viktor is far too focused to even notice his own erection, let alone Jayce's, but it won't surprise him when he comes down from this high of having Jayce stick his finger inside of him like that. He can feel it, Jayce's pulse, his excitement, his everything, all that desire and pent-up need coursing through every fiber of his being. It gets a moan out of Viktor as he pressed his forehead against Jayce's. His breath is coming out in soft exhales as Jayce pushes onward.
The substance lying beneath Viktor's exterior is strange, fluid-like, but it also feels like a webbing of a sort. A very strong netting with a consistency of firm jelly. Viktor's eyes, when he finally opens them, are half-lidded and almost distant. ]
Ah. J-Jayce it's— [ his eyes close for a moment as his body tenses ever so slightly. His cheeks are a shade of red they haven't been in quite some time. A soft whine escapes his lips before he purses them together. He doesn't indicate whether Jayce should stop as he seems almost a bit overwhelmed by it all. ]
[Jayce stills his hand, finger still inserted but held fast, holding his breath so he doesn't cause any sudden movements. He'd like Viktor a little more functional before he proceeds with his next idea. He's never seen Viktor like this- even during their first time, even when he thought he's seen all Viktor can feel- this is something beyond that. The awe alone helps him stay still, even as his cock gives a twitch as if to remind him he's still denying himself.]
Jayce? [ It takes him a second or two to get himself together. He blinks once or twice before making a noise of acknowledgement as he looks back up at Jayce. ]
You stopped. Is something wrong? [ It feels like his body is just buzzing with an energy that he can't quite put his finger on. ]
Yes. [ Viktor's face flushes even more at the question asked of him and how quickly he is to answer. But this breakthrough is something that needs to be defined, needs to be thoroughly studied. One of his own hands slides down to grip Jayce's hand. ]
Whatever you would like to try. [ Viktor's trust in Jayce is absolute, and so he will go along with it. ]
