This is not a matter of Viktor having no other options. They both know that he took a huge risk on Jayce, not just at the beginning of their partnership, but here, in choosing to enter a relationship with him, even knowing what Jayce did. That his time is limited. That their story might not end happily. Viktor, analytical as he is, decided that despite the risks and potential for pain and disappointment, this is worth it. A leap of faith.
Some of this is exhausting, yes. They've been over most of this before, and sometimes Viktor is less willing to entertain Jayce's spirals, but of course he understands the creeping anxiety that none of this will last. One hand stays wrapped around Jayce's shoulder, the other starts to idly run through his hair, comforting.
"I had a choice." Even though part of him struggles with his own selfish wants, he becomes more and more certain of his decision by the day. "I chose you. Please try to remember that."
