[Thank you for sparing him IN THIS THREAD AT LEAST, Sidon. Also, shut up. No one knows this, definitely not Viktor of all people. Well, he knows a little, but is looking away in bafflement.
Please don't lean in and look him in the eyes. He doesn't want to turn his head away, so he just adverts his eyes and hikes one shoulder, shy, confused.]
You don't have to apolog-- [Oh. Nevermind. This startles him enough he looks back at Sidon. EXCEPT WHAT SIDON SAYS MAKES HIM EMBARRASSED. Don't care for him?! HE ASHED A GIRL.] I--um, no, n-no...
I... mean, I... don't think I have much choice than to accept it, do I? You both... are pretty bold... [His brows furrow.] I don't know... how to talk to Lucien about it since we're... I don't want to waste a letter on... that.
[i cant remember if they knew about letters in this thread yet and im too lazy to look it's fine]
[ he will wait (1) pc before starting to bother him on purpose. right now, there's too much else to sort out. he smiles when he catches his eye, even if it's just for a flustered moment, and it is an implicit agreement—yes, he is bold. yes, he will continue to be plainly affectionate. viktor is too shy to do more than vaguely absorb all the Feelings being thrown at him, but he's not rejecting them.
at the same time, sidon wants him to work out whatever is happening with lucien. he is the type of person who can want both. ]
It isn't a waste! Of everyone, he gets the most information from us every week already. Why not use your letters for sentiment instead? You were separated so cruelly, it is worth working out your feelings.
[WELL, THAT SOUNDS EMBARRASSING. Pouring your feelings out in a plane-crossed letter to a dude you knew for, like, two weeks and have only since seen as an intangible ghost? Yeah, ok.
He kind of shakes his head with reluctance.]
I don't know if Lucien is that sort of man.
[To want to read letters about feelings. Lucien's own letter was very "I'm garbo at letter feelings for the record." Viktor finally glances back.]
You would... want to even do that? You don't have to waste one of your letters just for this.
[ whyyyyyyy is everyone so allergic to feelings. it's really sidon and dahut against the world here. some people find it easier to write down emotions than to voice them aloud. it's not that bad. ]
Oh, it's all right—most of what I have to say could go on HER-MES anyway.
[ he does save his most vulnerable thoughts for letters. but he's polite enough to keep personal matters involving other people to private correspondence. this can take priority.
then, a pause. he drops his head to plant a kiss on viktor's hair. fun. ]
In any case... don't let it bother you! You don't need all the answers right away. It isn't some problem with a solution to find. Just... know that I care! That's what's important to me.
[For some reason, the kiss to the head makes him almost more shy than if Sidon had smacked him on the lips. (That's a lie, he would have sunk into the floor if that happened.)
He rubs timidly at the back of his neck beneath his hair.]
It feels like there should be an answer and a solution so you aren't having to stay unsure. I'll... send him a letter, I guess. He'll probably hate reading it. Maybe that's better for me, getting on his nerves in return.
