YOU KNOW WHAT INBOXES ARE

"Yes! I must ask him what he's planning. I'm sure with all the time the three of us will be spending in the workshop in the coming days, we will find out in one way or another."

He softens as Xander takes his hand, his nerves easing immediately. He takes a few long moments to ponder this, rather than going with his knee-jerk answer of yes please.

"I appreciate this... However, I always had Jayce speak for us in public about our inventions, and as a result, I do not think anyone even knew I was partly responsible for them. I should take more credit for my work here, when I am able..." He sort of mumbles and trails off, clearly thinking ahead and worrying about it already.

Viktor smiles again, looking down at their hands.

"I just might." He lifts one of Xander's hands, leaning forward to kiss his knuckles softly.

"For now, I will put it out of mind and focus on the inventions themselves. That is the fun part."

A beat.

"Especially if I am doing it with you."

They are going to have to get this gay shit out of their systems tonight if they want a chance in hell at focusing on their work.

The blush is very charming on Xander, and it makes Viktor blush in turn, looking down at his food and trying to keep his mind from wandering too much.

Viktor eats like a bird, but he at least makes a valiant attempt at clearing his plate, and gets about 3/4 of the way through it before declaring that good enough and nursing his wine glass more. He anticipates his nerves cropping up again, and figures a drink or two will take the edge off, without making him as loopy as he was at the picnic. Frail as he is, Viktor can hold his liquor much better than his.

"It was," he confirms. "As eager as I am to start the work... For once, there are some activities I am more eager for." He smiles wryly.

"... Is that so?" Viktor asks quietly, smiling to himself. For him, the picnic was an emotional roller coaster from start to finish, and though Xander was a highlight, it was hard to think back on their encounter without feeling embarrassed at himself. He's glad to hear that Xander still wanted him after, apparently even moreso, so clearly he hadn't messed up so significantly as to turn him off generally.

He tops up both of their glasses, then reaches for Xander's hand again, thumb stroking over his knuckles.

"Well... Why don't you sit on the couch while I clear our plates and clean up in the kitchen for a few minutes. Then I will join you. We can allow our food to settle and see where we go from there. The sweetbread can be a late-night snack," he finishes with a quirk of his lip.

Viktor observes the blush, the nervous eagerness, and suddenly doesn't feel so silly for his own awkwardness with romance, his overzealousness at the picnic. Xander is stumbling through this, too, and there is comfort in that.

There is also a teeny tiny bit of power in that. In being wanted like this. It feels good.

Viktor pushes himself up from the table, taking his crutch and moving as smoothly as possible to Xander where he sits. He puts a fingertip under his chin to tilt it upward. He slowly leans down to kiss him, incredibly soft and light, just the slightest taste of something.

"There is nothing wrong with eager." He intones it as a declaration, something to absolve them both. Then, he straightens and offers a hand to help Xander up.

Viktor feels that almost-pull, hears what sounds like a suggestion of the bedroom rather than the couch, and tilts his head appraisingly.

That heady tension seems to fill the house, pressing Viktor into a slightly nervous, anticipating silence as the two collect the dishes and clean up. He's hyper-aware of Xander's every movement. It feels like they are in a new world, one with just the two of them, one where anything could happen.

Whatever they're about to do, Viktor has never done it before, and he feels every small detail of this scene being burned into his memory as a first time. Everyone always talks about first times, so it must be important to remember, he figures.

So while from the outside, it may look like two men doing the dishes, something utterly mundane and domestic, to Viktor it feels more like a ritual before some kind of important ceremony.

He finishes his wine before they leave the kitchen. Once Xander collects his bag from the entryway, Viktor takes his hand and leads him down the wide hallway to his bedroom. It's a very simple room. A double bed, neatly made, a nightstand, a dresser and closet. An attached bathroom. The only decorations are various metal trinkets scattered around, either things that Viktor has constructed, or parts of machines.

"Skan is not here," he announces, for no particular reason at all. He does not announce that Skan helped him formulate this plan and purposely went out to leave them here alone.

He sits on the edge of his bed, leaning his crutch against the nightstand. The edge of the table looks slightly scuffed and worn from leaning the crutch there many times before. He places a hand on the spot next to him, and once Xander sits, will take his cane and lean it in the same spot.

His nerves are certainly back.

"Have you... Done this before? With... With a man?" Clearly, he'd had sex with his wife at least four times to have four children, unless they were adopted.

Oh, they could just take the elevator to the roof, easy. It's nice up there, too, but Viktor would never try something so daring for the first time. Maybe in the future...

"I have never done this with anyone. So, you may have to... Guide me a little."

He blushes, a little embarrassed to admit being a thirty-two year old virgin, but he knows Xander won't judge him, so he interlaces their fingers and leans toward him, looking into his brown eyes.

"I am nervous, but I am fully lucid this time, and I still want you very much."

"Well, I would hate to oversell my prowess." He may be confident at times with kissing, but anything further is a big intimidating question mark. If Xander assumed he was more experienced than he actually was, Viktor would be all the more nervous when something came up that he was uncertain of. Best to be on the same page.

"You are speaking my language," Viktor murmurs, his lips already crashing into Xander's. It would seem that words like experiments and data effectively get him going.

He wraps his arm around Xander's neck, kissing him deeply and placing his flesh hand on his partner's thigh, sliding inward and upward.

Maybe it's a good thing he can't just shove him down, since Viktor is just as frail, and that kind of roughness might be too much. It doesn't mean there can't be urgency, though. Viktor wraps his arm tightly around Xander as the two sink back onto the bed, then blindly reaches for his knees to try to help him up on top of him. All the while, his mouth is falling open, his tongue meeting Xander's readily. Once his partner is settled into some sort of position that will work for him, Viktor returns his hand between his legs, palming his growing erection gently. Then those hips jerk forward, and he gets a much more firm handful of Xander. Oh! That must mean he can add more pressure, and so he does, rubbing up and down through his clothing, using his flesh hand for now, since it's softer.

His knee is- oh- oh. Viktor tilts his hips as much as he can with his back brace limiting his movement, attempting to grind into Xander's knee. His hands are doing amazing work already, and that moan, the kisses to his jaw... He is good at this, isn't he? Or perhaps he's just Xander, and Viktor is delighted that he's here in his bed with him at all, and he's never been touched like this before in his life, and it feels heavenly. His mouth freed, he lets a soft moan of his own escape it.

"Xander..." He sighs his name like there's no other word to express how he feels. His free hand moves to his partner's waistband, finding and undoing the buttons of his fly. He thanks his lucky stars for these hands, the one part of his body he can always count on to work well. His flesh hand reaches gently into his underwear, searching for purchase, grasping his shaft very gently.

"Is this...?" He's meaning to ask if it's alright, but he's a little breathless.

Xander's fingers will find Viktor's skinny stomach, as well as his brace, covering most of his back and his ribcage. His breath hitches, feeling Xander's hands wander on the parts of his abdomen that are exposed. He wishes he could feel more, yearns for those years-untouched patches of skin to be caressed.

He's quickly distracted from his own desire as Xander's comes into sharp focus. He throbs in Viktor's hand, his hands shake, his voice trembles. Feeling such a put-together man come undone in his hands, when he's barely even tried yet to make him feel good, is unbelievably arousing. His own cock jerks in response, hardening fully against Xander's knee, which adds to the delicious pressure there.

Don't stop is a clear instruction, and thankfully, Viktor has done this part before. It's a different angle than masturbating, and there's no guarantee that Xander will like the exact same things he does, but the basics are muscle-memory. He grips more firmly and strokes the shaft, his wrist adding finesse to the movement.

His other hand undoes his upper shirt buttons, and he hums as Xander gives his neck and ears attention, leaning into the touch. His hand threads into his partner's thick, dark hair and presses gently against the back of Xander's head, encouraging more.

Viktor hums a moan in the back of his throat as Xander gives him a strange new sensation on his neck, teeth and tongue and pressure and wet warmth, pain and pleasure at once. An interesting data point to reflect on later.

He increases the speed of his hand, tightens his grip on him just a little. Perhaps Xander had wanted to have sex tonight and this will impede his ability to do that, but Viktor doesn't think twice about it. He wants to see Xander fall apart. See the dark blush of his cheeks, the tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, the way one little curl falls down in his face, and hear the gorgeous sounds he makes. Viktor meets his eyes, his own lidded, his lips parted, and wonders what it feels like to fall in love. He wonders if it feels anything like this, looking up into shining dark eyes.

He slows his hand, kisses Xander firmly.

"And you are beautiful." So long as they're stating facts, here.

"Tell me how to make you feel... Spectacular." He almost says how to improve, then realizes it's not his own performance he cares about, for once. It's Xander's experience.

Viktor combs his fingers into Xander's hair, pushing it back from his face as he gazes at him adoringly.

"Oh. Yes." Undressing, right. Not ever at the top of Viktor's list of things to do, but here and now, he does want to, if only to feel more of Xander on his skin.

"Allow me." Viktor gently releases Xander's cock and uses both hands to unbutton his shirt as he hovers there, then undoes all of his own buttons. He slides his hands over Xander's shoulders to shrug him out of the shirt some, and then his hands wander down his abdomen, caressing him until they reach his waistband, which he also tugs down.
