"Maybe you're a secret sweetheart, deep down." Oh -- there's an arm around his shoulders, and Jayce leans into it happily. Tucking himself up against Viktor. There's a brief hesitation, but he decides to allow himself the extra comfort and slip his arm around Viktor's waist, as well.
"I can't imagine why I'd ever want to do anything to harm you. So I guess you can keep being not-cruel to me."
"I don't mean for it to be a secret in the first place."
It's...nice, being tangled up like this. Jayce is huge, warm, solid - good balance against Viktor's small, chilly, delicate frame. He leans into him a little in return, his breath rattling softly as he relaxes.
"Good - then you understand. You can tell me...anything like this. If it matters to you, then it matters to me."
It always amazes him, how well Viktor fits against him. All his angles slotting into place with Jayce's curves. Complimentary pieces. Even the slight wheeze of his lungs brings Jayce some strange comfort, because it means that at the very least Viktor is still breathing.
"There's nothing too small, or too big, for you to tell me."
There's another crackle of thunder behind them, and a flash of lightning briefly illuminates their little fort. Jayce closes his eyes and takes a deep breath.
With Viktor this close, his scent surrounds Jayce in a way that blankets and comforts him. Anise, of course, and whatever soap he uses. He noses into his partner's hair and takes a few deep breaths like that.
Viktor doesn't mind Jayce leaning in. He's scared, and...well. It's still sort of novel, the turn this took.
"You are okay," he repeats, sliding a hand around to rub at the other man's back soothingly. "We are safe, warm, and dry right here. And the storm will pass before we know it. We just need to...eeeeeeeh, pass the time?"

A soft chuckle, a shy smile, the splash of color across his cheeks.
"You have made it...very clear that I can trust you. And I do. I trust you very much."

"Um -- I'm sorry, this is strange, but -- " He laughs a little, self deprecating. "The sound of your voice is honestly really helping."
