Summary: Jayce was walking around the council building, shirtless, at night. He was about to walk into his room, but all of sudden, Caitlyn was there. After that, Jayce reveals that he was “helping Viktor with his sleep schedule”. INSPIRED FROM @pepsi_pep0 ON TIKTOK!

It was a very dark night at the council. Caitlyn had some problems with her job, she was still working there just because her mother convinced the forces, even if she didn’t wanted her mom to do so. While the blue haired was painstaking her thoughts, she heard something. Or someone. For precaution, she handed her gun tightly and carefully started to walk towards the end of the corridor. Her steps were barely audible, however she didnt had the opportunity to show off her skills with the gun. Why? Hah, because the something or someone was nobody but Jayce Talis. Her best friend.
—Jayce wha-…What are you doing here?
—…Um- Project. —He pointed the door that was few inches away from him.
Jayce didn’t know what to do in that situation besides trying to change the subject. He felt ridiculously embarrassed.
—What are you even doing here?
—I’m working, Jayce Talis. You know I am.
Of course he knew. “For godness sake, can it get any worse?” Jayce thought, trying to keep the conversation genuine.
—I am working too, Caityn. —He said with an insincere calm voice, trying to hide his shame.
—…Shirtless? —Caitlyn’s voice was full of judgement and disbelief, looking at Jayce up and down.
Caitlyn couldn’t believe how stupid her friend’s excuses were. —Oh, so you walked from the forge all the way here just to…work? —The blue haired asked, rising both eyebrows.
Jayce nodded agressively, watching all around the space to be sure that nobody was watching —Yeah, yeah. Can you be quiet? —He asked while whispering, moving his hands up and down at the level of his chest to tell her to be quiet.
—Why should I? —Jayce didn’t answer. Caitlyn’s eyes were focused on his reaction, closing her eyes halfway. —Jayce. —She said louder. Finally he reacted, curling fingers close to Caitlyn’s face with the helplessness for not being able to shut her mouth.
But then the door opened.
—What is all this racket?- Oh, Caitlyn…Hello. —a masculine voice with a silly accent started talking. The figure was wearing a red sweater with green checked pajama pants, holding a cane in his right hand: Viktor. Caitlyn was surprised, but not too much.
—Oh….My God. —Caitlyn choked, her eyes moving fast from Viktor to Jayce multiple times. —Are you?-
—On a sleeping schedule? —Viktor interfered —Apparently.
There was an extremely long silence after that. Caitlyn was still processing what was happening. It was her first impression, and she didn’t liked it at all: she expected another way to find out that both her best friend and his “work partner” were together.
From Jayce’s hand, he was as red as a tomatoe. His eyes were watered because of the embarrassment he felt. His fingers were clipped at the end of the bridge of his nose, eyes closed and jaw tense. After a few moments, he dropped his grip to the nose, putting his hand down and opening his honey-colored eyes. Caitlyn was looking at him, expecting an explanation, probably.
—We’re just partners, Caitlyn! —Jayce interrupted without even letting her finish her sentence. Mostly because he knew what she was going to ask. —And you, go back to bed! —He yelled at Viktor, pointing the open door. He just walked in, giggling under his breath.
When he was finally gone, Caitlyn added —Gosh, you’re gayer than me.
She started laughing out loud, putting his hand on Jayce’s shoulder. They lasted there a minute or two; Caitlyn’s eyes were watered and her stomach hurt, and eventually, Jayce started laughing too, putting his hand over his face, still kinda embarrassed.
—Swear to God that you’ll never tell anyone what you saw tonight.
—I swear. —She smiled, wiping her tears away and smiling to Jayce.
Finally they said goodbye to each other and walked in opposite directions. Caitlyn was still laughing by herself hours later in her shift, the other guards staring at her with confusion.
