Seven Seconds In Heaven
Jayce was amazed.
Holy shit, he looked so different.
One of the doctors had shown him a mirror, letting him examine his face.
It did look like him.
His eyes were just bigger, but his facial structure, his smile remained and his eyebrows were still the same.
But his hair was long and shiny, falling into a lovely braid that reached his legs, his ears were bigger and moved with every footstep he heard.
His skin was blue with the gorgeous Na’vi pattern he had only ever seen in pictures.
He could stare at his forever, but then the mirror moved away from him.
“How are you feeling, Jayce?” Oh, he hadn’t realised Caitlyn had been the one holding it, she was practically glowing.
“Really fucking good” he stared down, he was a lot more taller, like he’d been stretched, his waist had shrunk and he was a little bit skinner.
“Okay, can you copy me?” Caitlyn’s voice came back to him, she held out her fingers and touched each one of them with her thumb.
Jayce repeated the motion, until-
“Hold on” Cait frowned, staring down at his large hands “why don’t you have five?”
Jayce frowned as well “what are you talking about?”
“The avatars shouldn’t have…”
Jayce stared down, she was right, he only had four fingers, which would probably take some letting used to but he didn’t really care, was it a big deal?
“Uh, don’t worry I’m sure it’s just a fluke, I’ll take to Grace later” she was back to smiling.
Jayce took the time to look around, Vi was having a talk with the kids, she still looked like Vi, which was a good thing.
He grinned, then turning to-
Woah.
If Jayce thought he looked good as an Avatar, that was nothing compared to Viktor.
Holy fucking shit.
It’s a good fucking thing Jayce was wearing a large hospital gown.
He almost seemed to be arguing with Grace, his ears were turned back like a dog when it’s being yelled at, his eyes looked sad.
Yet he still looked beautiful.
Because of course he did.
Jayce swallowed, turning away quickly.
It had been a few minutes since then and Caitlyn was taking a few more tests, making sure all parts of his Avatar body were working well.
When suddenly, there was movement from where Viktor was, Jayce turned back around to see the lab door swinging open, Viktor was running away.
“No! Viktor!” Grace sounded pissed off more than anything “I knew this would fucking happen”
“I can go get him” Jayce stood up, needing a second to adjust to his new height.
Caitlyn was so much smaller as she tried to force Jayce back onto his bed “Jayce, you haven’t probably adjusted yet-“
“Cait, I need to go get him” Jayce shook his head, already moving towards the door, his tail flicked something and a machine fell down, he winced “really hope that wasn’t expensive”
“Everything here is expensive!” Caitlyn hissed “Jayce, please..”
“I’ll be right back, sprout” he said, ignoring Grace's shouts as he walked out.
The sky was bright and clear, he took a few more steps, letting himself stumble before picking up the pace.
This was beautiful.
He reached the small greenhouse’s that were growing human and Na’vi food alike.
“Viktor! Vik!” Jayce called, getting no reply.
He walked around the greenhouse a little more, paying no mind to odd stares from the gardeners he got.
“Viktor!”
“I’m down here”
Jayce yelped and flew back, Viktor was laying in the tall grassy area in front of him, staring up at the sky.
His tail was whooshing in the wind and his eyes were staring up the sky that was alien to them.
“Oh well…eh” what was he doing here again? “Oh yeah, you’ve got to come back to the lab - you can’t just run off like that Viktor, what if your Na’vi body wasn’t stable?”
“You’re out here and you seem fine” Viktor deadpanned “I may be a cripple, but my Avatar is not”
Jayce groaned “I’m not saying…whatever” he stood there awkwardly for a moment.
“I will not bite you, I can tolerate your annoyance for now”
Jayce took that as an invitation to sit on the grass next to him.
God, Viktor was so…so…everything.
His body was painted with stripes and his gown somehow managed to look great on him.
Jayce opened his mouth to speak and Viktor turned to face him, but his words got lost suddenly.
“Your canines are larger” Viktor said
“Sorry?” Jayce asked, not really paying attention to anything other than Viktors face.
“Your canines are bigger than they should be” Viktor moved a hand to Jayces mouth and pulled it open, staring at one of Jayces teeth.
“Ah-ha!” Jayce made a strained noise as Viktor examined his mouth
Oh my fucking god.
“That’s odd..they’re both bigger” both of his hands were on Jayces face now, they were so soft and Jayce wanted to melt into them.
“And…your hands, Jayce!” Viktor gasped, quickly moving his hands back and grabbing one of Jayces “you’ve only got four!”
“Have I?” Jayce sighed, missing Viktors hands on his face.
“We need to show Grace, immediately ” Viktor suddenly stood up, now desperate to return back.
“Why do you care? Don’t you hate me?” Jayce asked as he stood up, hastily following after the other Avatar.
Viktor frowned as he turned around “Of course I do, but I don’t hate the Na’vi, and you’d classify more as that than Jayce Talis right now so let’s go!”
Well, Jayce will take what he can get.
