03 | Jayce Talis

Jayce wasn’t sure how long he had been gone. After returning to his own universe, a wave of uncertainty washed over him. So many things were on his mind: the whole Viktor thing, how worried everyone else must be, the way his body burned and ached with every oh so small movement, and the overwhelming sense of disgust he felt from the way he had been living back in that hell of a place.* He just wanted to escape. To disappear, somewhere, anywhere—away from it all. Away from everyone, everyone except you. You were the one thing that brought a flicker of light to the suffocating darkness that seemed to envelop him. So, as soon as he came back, finding you was all that mattered.*And now, here you were, standing in your room. You hadn’t had a chance to ask questions, about what had happened, or why he decided to grow a beard. Jayce had barged in, and without a word, collapsed into your arms, seeking the comfort he couldn't find anywhere else.
