Jayce accidentally gives Viktor his last name by being so insistent on putting Viktor’s name first in every circumstance. When he’s listing their names on anything he puts them down as “Viktor and Jayce Talis”. When he introduces them to people he says “Nice to meet you, this is Viktor and I’m Jayce Talis” with a pause before Talis because he always forgets that he should say his house name too. Viktor slowly starts to notice that they’re referred to in the tabloids as “the Talises” and that higher ups at the academy will introduce him to investors as “Viktor Talis” without Jayce even being there.

When they first start working together, they put their initials next to things in their shared notes to mark when they have questions or agree with something the other wrote, or to differentiate when someone is dictating while the other talks. In an effort to not have it confused with a variable, Viktor initials VT (VikTor) as a bit of a joke to look similar to Jayce’s JT. However, one day when Heimerdinger is looking over their notes, he marks out a question in the margin for Viktor with “Viktor Talis” written out next to it in full. Viktor and Jayce debate for a moment after he leaves if it was supposed to mean it was for both of them, but the contents of the question makes it entirely clear that Heimerdinger things VT stands for Viktor Talis and has accepted that Viktor has adopted Jayce’s last name with no questions.

At the beginning of Hextech, as they are trying to get investors, Viktor regularly gets identified as being from the undercity and harassed for it by wealthy Pilties when he tells them his name is “just Viktor” when asked what house he is from. So one day Jayce suggests just telling investors that his last name is also Talis, thinking that people will assume they are brothers. Viktor gets flustered and tries to politely decline, but Jayce seems to confident that he lets it happen. It takes him weeks to figure out that Jayce doesn’t realize that everyone thinks they’ve gotten married or plan to. Viktor doesn’t have the heart to tell him and won’t let Mel break the illusion.

Jayce takes Viktor on a tour of the forge and when he gets done takes a hammer to jokingly knight him and dub him “officially part of house Talis” Jayce thinks nothing of it until the next time they meet someone new together when he almost spits out his drink hearing Viktor introduce himself as “Viktor Talis”

Some investor that they fucking hate can’t keep their names straight for some reason but always sees Jayce wearing his house sigil so he says “ah, Viktor Talis” every time he sees Jayce. They find it so fucking funny that even just saying “Viktor Talis” sends them into uncontrollable laughter.

“It was affection that held us together.”

closeups!! ⬇️

And not in a "Viktor doesn't think he can be loved" and more of a "he thinks Jayce does incredibly nice things for everyone, cause he's amazing"

Examples:

Jayce keeps the icebox full of Viktor's favorite treats and always makes Viktor's (incredibly sweetened) coffee first. Viktor thinks he's just being kind, he doesn't know that every time Viktor has joined in on a morning counsel meeting, Jayce made coffee for only him and once fully rolled his eyes when Hoskel asked for some, then walked away back to Viktor, and didn't touch the coffee maker again.

Jayce always pulls out a chair for Viktor to sit next to him. What Viktor doesn't know is that he's stealing other people's seats to do so. (If they're out with Jayce's family/family friends, it's usually Caitlyn's.)

When Viktor met Ambessa, she went all 👀 over him (cant resist a handsome twink) and Jayce came over, started complimenting him, only using "My Partner" to refer to Viktor. Viktor thought he was just being highly complimentary, when instead the translation was "my twink, back off"

Jayce is canonically a wonderful artist. Viktor thinks Jayce sketches all kinds of people. Jayce used to, until he started spending most his time with Viktor, and now he only draws his partner. Viktor just thinks its a way of decompressing after a lot of lab work and he's just the lucky subject because they're always together (Jayce also draws Viktor on his notes during meetings)

Jayce ends conversations early (if he can) when Viktor enters a room. Viktor has no idea he does this. He just thinks Jayce is always nearby.

Viktor doesn't know that non-counsel members aren't usually allowed in meetings (especially when serious). He think's its because he is the closest thing Piltover has to a Zaun ambassador. While it's sort of the case, it's actually because Jayce wants to always make sure that the praise for Hexcore/Hextech also goes to Viktor.

Jayce has stolen multiple tables, chairs, supplies to add to their lab because they're what Viktor prefers to work on (and Jayce thinks he's right). Viktor just thinks its funding. He doesn't know their lab neighbors are all wondering why their tables and chairs keep getting replaced and stolen.

Viktor thinks Jayce is touchy with everyone. Jayce only tolerates handshakes from most people. (Save from other people he is close with, Mel, Caitlyn)

YA. Jayce speaks perfect and fluent spanish with an American ✨accent✨. Of course he knows all the señora (mom) songs. Romantic sillies AAUGHHHFFFF

An extra!

literally everyone at the academy didn’t wanna talk to jayce because he constantly had that energy of “autistic guy who REALLY wants to tell you about his special interest” but because his special interest was illegal he would just never mention it and instead stand in the corner at parties and if you tried to talk to him he wouldn’t respond properly because he’s busy thinking of hextech, but again, illegal, so he just wouldn’t pay attention to you and if you asked why he would stare blankly at you and say “huh? oh sorry continue”
