"Very ridiculous," Jayce agrees with a smile. He would have married Viktor back home, of that he is certain, it just seemed like a far away thing at the time. They had so much Hextech to work on and their new projects, and the focus on the betterment of society. In his mind, they had the time to wait, so if they got married a decade from then, so be it. That was all dashed when he found out about Viktor's illness.
Jayce appreciates the physical gestures Viktor is giving him as reassurance, a testament too to how much they know about one another now. Becoming lovers and romantic partners added elements they didn't have before, like how easy it is for Viktor to quell any rising anxiety with a single touch.
"It is a given that we are going to be together, V, but I want to be your husband. I want the title. And technically we can just wave our hands and say we are, but I'm sentimental. I want some kind of celebration with it." Jayce is good at asking for what he wants these days, but it helps that his confidence is the way it is because of how good they are together. They've gone through a lot and made it out the other side stronger and he is confident in their relationship.
Viktor knows he's sentimental and symbols do mean something to them. It's why Viktor got him the bracelet that's around his wrist even now. Gestures matter a great deal to Jayce, and this is the biggest one he can make. As for the next part he pauses and thinks, but then shakes his head.
"I don't care about that. We have both of our names on what we make and own, I'm not concerned about us being legal." If they were in Piltover he would. This is his adopted home, but he has no actual loyalty to the Free Cities, only to the lives they've made together and with the other Summoned.
Jayce takes Viktor's hand and puts the ring in the middle, gently encouraging him to wrap his fingers around it and feel it in his palm. Real and his, if he wants it. A gift, no matter what.
