[ Viktor's eyes narrow at that challenge, that call out, and he has half a mind to give a biting retort back. ] Do not presume to know what I would or would not do.
[ He gives Dodger a look as if he's staring right through him for a second or two. His eyes flash an angry color of red. ]
I am not...wimping out, as you have put it. [ Another huff as he pulls on Dodger's hair again, a bit more insistent. ]
I do not think this is a good idea. [ It's the wavering in his voice that makes him genuinely concerned. He's not sure what will happen with his powers if he does this with Dodger. He doesn't want to accidentally invade his mind or do something that might cause harm to the other man. ]
We should stop here, for now. I. I apologize. [ Viktor doesn't really care what this makes him seem like to the other man. It's imperative that he not lose control, and that's really all that matters. The doubts and the second guesses are also enough to cause him to waver. ] Another time, perhaps.
[ If this doesn't put Dodger off completely, which Viktor would certainly understand. ]
[Dodger's expression makes it clear that he's unhappy, but he moves with Viktor's hand. Sitting up and then getting to his feet, giving Viktor space but failing to hide his own disappointment. The best he can do is mask it as frustration.
It doesn't occur to him that powers would be the problem. Mostly because he has decent control over his own powers and generally wants powers to crop up during sex. But that leaves him at a loss. He was clearly doing a good job, so he can't blame himself, just something nebulous making Viktor afraid to get too into things. His gaze keeps sweeping over Viktor's body, as if the answer would be written somewhere on his skin.]
It's fine. It happens.
[He thinks.]
Next time. In the meantime... thanks for the date, I guess.
[He's checking his Watch, because... he genuinely isn't sure if that counts enough to get a card. But he sure would love to at least get that. Between that and the furrowed brow he's probably coming off as a jackass, but he doesn't notice or particularly care.]
