[oh, he broke the bit to be sincere- well that gets a kiss because how could he not? it lingers, and when viktor pulls back it's with their faces still very close.] So am I. More than I've been in years, if I am being honest.

[now if only the horror movie around them would let them just have their romance and scifi/fantasy in peace.] Oh absolutely I will, and purely for my own benefit. I will even tie the tie for you.

[viktor watches him then sits up himself, glad to see he wasn't reacting poorly. he runs a hand down pal's back before pushing himself off the bed, offering a hand to help pal up.] Cover the mirror with a towel if you can? I am hoping you can no longer be effected.

[but he moves to the kitchen, hand against the wall in place of a cane and speaking as he does, hoping it helps the lack of contact.] Do you mind terribly if I invite another errant teenager to the party? Todoroki could use it. [and he gets that glass of water in record time, thanks. speedrun water for boyfriend.]

[viktor smiles because the very first thing he thinks is this tie pal chooses is going to be grey or pointedly ugly, the second thing being 'if it makes you happy.' it makes him even consider not abusing this for a whole few moments. alas, he thinks pal is quite handsome and even he is weak to aesthetics on occasion.]

It's your own fault for being handsome. [he dismisses. but he is back with the water, new record, sitting carefully on the edge of the bed beside pal and offering it to him. drinking it will make viktor feel better, a simple solution after waves of complex problems. dehydrated, water. if only it were so easy elsewhere.

still the glasses treatment gets a shake of the head- yeah, they need to be prepared to get pal another pair, this man is an absolute menace. his hand rests on pal's back, a point of contact as he considers how to describe todoroki.]


He's a very serious young man who seemed earnestly touched by the simple act of inviting him to weekly dinner with me and Allen. You are invited to those too, by the way, it's mostly a ruse to make sure they both eat somewhat properly. Oh, his world has professional heroes like a comic book. It's absolutely fascinating.

Given how hard I occasionally work to make you thoroughly disheveled I think I can safely say it is a look that works for you. [said innocently, which is obvious bullshit. it does open up the world of dressing pal up just to dishevel him, which is a thought he's going to put in the 'to do' list he seems to be ever compiling.]

I don't know how I ended up being the cook here. Frankly it's a pathetic state of affairs. [jayce would probably find this all hilarious, given viktor's typical attitude with food was 'get something easy to finish quickly so he can get back to work, thanks.' now look at him. he might invest in cookbooks.]

Honestly? I haven't a clue. Apparently they have rankings of who is the best at it? And terrible names, the one who can manipulate fabric is called 'Blue Jeanist.' It was difficult to keep a straight face hearing that one.

[the quip has viktor chuckling, pressing a kiss to pal's shoulder mostly because he can. who cares about attractive, pal is grinning again so viktor's pretty sure that's the best look on him. nauseating sentiment.]

Hm, fine. You do seem to be on a quest to bend them in new and exciting ways. [he reaches up to tap them just a touch straighter on pal's face.] And they are also a good look on you. Very academic.

[he leans slightly into pal, mostly just to be careful he doesn't jostle the water but more than happy to eliminate any pesky personal space between them as he hums.] Your name is unfortunate in how it can be twisted, isn't it? Last names seem more trouble than they're worh. At least 'pal' is harmless enough. [unless sex pal but he doesn't have the brilliant teenage mind to pick that one up.] It has to be a pun, yes? I refuse to believe coincidence led to that moment.

[ok, viktor isn't so much of a responsible adult that his brow doesn't quirk at 'dr. sex.' that poor man, assuming this wasn't a choice or his work wasn't involved in something sexual. he's assuming no, given what he's heard of the sixth. where's the respect for thot corp, viktor.]

You are really going to make me wait for that? Cruel. I will offer my condolences to this Dr. Sex and reaffirm that last names are just bureaucratic agenda given form. If he had worked at the academy it would have been unbearable with the new students.

[and the older ones, if he's honest. dr sex, honestly.

because he is a good boyfriend viktor reaches to tap the glass, offers,]
Finish this, please, and we can lie down again. [fussing, but offering incentives. a flawless system, truly.]

I'll have to ask Todoroki. He has abilities of cold and heat manipulation, if I am understanding him right. Thankfully he does not seem inclined to make ice or fire puns about it. [thank god.]

It does sound compelling, and I am always curious about your Sixth adventures. [apparently ones with historic reveals and a single amusing name. the reminder of the mushroom night makes his lips quirk, further when pal looks put out by the glass.

he gets a peck on his jaw for that. good job, you're doing great pal.]


No, I'll have to ask and hope it isn't a pun. He doesn't seem the sort but perhaps they have a... a department for that.

You'd be surprised the sort of stories I can tell of him. He's quite chaotic when wasn't being insufferably archaic.

[so good date night story line up. the fact they're making an unintentional schedule for this date is odd and warms him.]

Honestly I think it makes it absurdly perfect. Someone with funding to make sure 'Jeanist' comes to life, comic heroes waiting with baited breath for their assignment, some praying for mercy.

[sorry todoroki. he really does need to find out if he suffers from such a name.]

Let me guess, something involving being Warden? [wild guess there. he takes the look with a huff and leans his head back as he considers a name for himself. certainly will never have a dramatic super villain name, nothing like that.] Eh... I suppose I could be Hex. [is he being serious? he's not but he looks at pal with pointed innocence, like well?]

[viktor watches this with approval- good, now he can relax a little about that. one small matter handled, and the fact they're shooting back and forth bad puns and super hero names when before was the first time he's seen pal cry... yes, things are going well.

he tilts his head, then offers with a perfectly straight face:]
Tech. Techman.

[ok though his expression starts to cave to amusement though, happily following pal down onto the bed and leaning over him for a moment to properly take in his much more palatable despair.]

Oh, it has to be a pun now? So many rules, I think I'll stick to behind the scenes work, thank you. Dating the super hero Master Warden is far more appealing than having to subject myself to the indignity of pun names.

[but fine, he likes pal's hydrated face so he sighs.] Help me think of engineering puns and we'll talk. I can say horrible lines about how I'm going to put a wrench in someone's plans.

That is true, we may be the super villains here, depending on how much morality cares about the theft of a chalkboard and several hundred pens. [all a joke because again, no one here is one day going to probably be making actual heists of piltover labs and having robot goons and what not. just a fun hypothetical don't worry about it.

what will make him go into a proper villain arc is hearing that metallurgy pun, head thumping down against pal's shoulder as he makes sure his sigh can be felt through both their bodies before he lifts his head again.]


Language might have been a mistake. [he leans down for a kiss, which may be partially to stop any more puns but actually is because pal's got his fingers in his hair and looks less grim and he simply can't help himself.] I'll hammer that point home.

[stop.] Though these aren't matters to screw around with, it's serious work. [it's not stopping, though he closes his eyes like he's been defeated.] What have I become... Let us stick to bad bone puns.

One day I am going to request you line up all the pens you have hoarded from the Trench alone and then we will see about that. [foolishly he is mostly joking, it will probably be way more pens than he's assuming and he'll find that endearing because he's a criminal apparently.

there's a moment viktor just stares at him, waiting it out, thinking that maybe pal will see reason and not say whatever is happening in his head there. maybe he'll just allow them mercy, even if the reward kiss was compelling.

when pal glances away viktor's brow raises, at least somewhat prepared when the blow is made. oh the sigh he gives. it has no fondness in it, don't listen too close.]


I think I am going to keep your mouth occupied for the rest of the evening so I am not subjected to anymore of this suffering. [he can only handle so many puns, he is weak. and to make good on that promise (threat?) he leans in to kiss pal soundly and languidly, as though maybe he can chase any future puns straight out of his mouth, thank you.]
