[just think, James is missing out on the warm smile and the starry eyes. Victor swallows at that final text. As if he isn’t already hopelessly smitten]

It would brighten my day seeing you. And I’ll drop by to see you, too.

And of course you’re helping Lucy and I move into our new house. We’ve talked about a code so only people who know it can come in. I think that will help her.

[winscenario]

[ He is trying very hard not to think about it, actually. But oh, he certainly plans on making up for it the next time they see each other. ]

Anytime you want, please do. It'd be a wonderful surprise.

As long as that's alright by her, you know I'm up for it. Have you found a place you like yet?

[jolting]

I think so. It's taken a while because I wanted a space for my office, and of course we need two bedrooms and two bathrooms.

You know I've never bought a house before? I've always been living under someone else's roof: my father, Regina, this city... This house will be the first one that's mine. It's really amazing.

[winscenario]

That sounds really great. I can't wait to see it.

Really? I mean, if you had your dad's place, I guess that's not so strange. I lived at my parents' farm until I left for the Academy. And I had a flat in San Francisco but I didn't really spend a lot of time there. Can't even say I ever thought of it as 'home'.

[jolting]

I get that. Until recently, if I thought of "home" I thought of Storybrooke instead of my own world. And lately, I think of this place.

[not that there are any particular people who would influence that feeling, of course]

[winscenario]

Do you?

But yeah, me too, I guess. I've settled into this place a lot since I first got here. Feels like home, too.

[jolting]

Maybe you could show me your favorite place in the Quarantine sometime.

[winscenario]

Does it have to be in the Quarantine or can it be a place beyond the wall?

[jolting]

Well, that'd be even better, because I'd get to ride in the shuttle.

But seriously, I just want to see your favorite place, wherever that is.

[winscenario]

I have a lot of places I like, but I'll try to narrow it down.

Then again, I could also just show you all of them, one by one. You being there will only make them even more perfect anyway.

[jolting]

[oh, no, his heart, it's melting into a helpless puddle. He's pretty sure that even without video evidence, James knows full well how flustered Victor is right now after that declaration]

I wish you wouldn't type things like that. It only makes me mad that I'm not closer so I can grab the device out of your hand and kiss you.

[winscenario]

I wish I could say I'm sorry. I mean I could say it but we both know I wouldn't mean it.

You can always make it up to me and kiss me senseless the moment we see each other again. I'm very okay with that.

[jolting]

More like I'll kiss you until I become senseless.

I'll have to remember to tell you the code before we do that, so you can come in the house once we've settled in.

[he's not even joking. He and Lucy agreed that only people who know the code can come in]

[winscenario]

Or both. Both works too.

That's so cute. Having a secret code and all, how... hmm, exclusive. Like we're part of a special clique.

[jolting]

What works even better is to kiss you even after we're both senseless.

That's the idea.

[winscenario]

Mm, doctor, you are making me positively excited for the next time we'll be together.

[jolting]

I have a feeling it'll be very soon.

[he has it worked out at the hospital to have free time. He used to spend that time at Prometheus Labs, but he would rather spend it with James now]

[winscenario]

Do you? And are you sharing that information with me, or just keeping it a surprise?

[jolting]

I wouldn't want you to be busy with something. Tomorrow?

[winscenario]

Perfect. I'll make sure to free up my schedule for you.

[jolting]

See you tomorrow. [and now James is missing Victor’s excited smile. One might even call it giddy]

[winscenario]

[ Gosh doctor, you are too cute. ♥ ]
