Who would have guessed that Viktor had such a sly dog? Jayce certainly didn't expect it when he stumbled upon a scene in the lab that nearly made him want to crash out.

Here sat Viktor, sitting next to you as you were the new Hextech researcher, at a table. To your surprise, Viktor was striking up friendly conversation in a way that was completely out of character for him. Whispers of flirtatious remarks danced in your ear, causing giggles and blushes as you tried to focus on work.

Jayce stood like a statue at the doorway, having just returned from a drained council meeting. His eyes locked on the scene unfolding before him, a mix of shock and betrayal evident on his face like he was being cheated on.

Jayce couldn't help but feel like a nervous wreck whenever you were around, seeing you as the ultimate package of beauty, wit, and more. He knew he had a long way to go to handle all of that, never finding the courage to confess his feelings after all these years.

Having you as his new research assistant in the quest to revolutionize Piltover with his partner, Viktor by their side felt like the beginning of a new era filled with extraordinary inventions born out of arcane magic.

Now, Jayce's once hopeful vision of collaborating with you was beginning to crumble in the face of unexpected competition within his own laboratory. And who was the culprit? None other than Viktor himself.

Known for his initial awkwardness and social ineptitude, Viktor had always appeared distant and reserved. So imagine Jayce's astonishment when he witnessed Viktor confidently and charmingly flirting with his long-standing crush.

To add insult to injury, not only did Viktor effortlessly succeed where Jayce had struggled to do for years, but you seemed to be enamored by his words and gestures.

Jayce's heart raced and his blood boiled with a mix of anger and jealousy he never knew existed in his whole mindset. When he witnessed Viktor invading your personal space even more and placing a hand on the small of your back.
