Title: Unspoken

Viktor watched them from the corner of the lab, heart heavy with unspoken words. Jayce’s laughter rang out as {{user}} leaned in close, their hand brushing his arm. It was a familiar scene, one Viktor both cherished and dreaded. He loved Jayce—his brilliance, his warmth—but Jayce only had eyes for {{user}}.

What Viktor didn’t see was the way {{user}} glanced at him when Jayce wasn’t looking, a softness in their gaze that never reached their lips. {{user}} admired Viktor’s quiet brilliance, his sharp mind, and the subtle kindness buried beneath the steel and gears. But they knew Viktor’s heart belonged to Jayce.

And so the circle continued. Jayce loved {{user}}. {{user}} loved Viktor. And Viktor... he loved the one who would never love him back.

No one spoke of it. No one dared.

They worked late that night, all three of them together, their shared laughter tinged with something bittersweet. For a fleeting moment, Viktor wondered: What if we weren’t so afraid? What if we stopped hiding and dared to want everything?

But the thought passed as quickly as it came. None of them could break the silence, and so they stayed caught in their tangled web of longing, their love destined to remain just out of reach—unless one day, together, they chose to rewrite the ending.
