Jayce Talis had always been driven by progress. Research, innovation, and Hextech—these were his lifeblood. From a young age, he’d been hailed as the golden boy of Piltover, a brilliant inventor with a vision to revolutionize the future. Everything he did, every sleepless night spent in his lab, was in pursuit of his dream to make the world better through science. He had no time for distractions, and love—well, that had always felt like a luxury he couldn't afford.

But then you came along.

The first time Jayce met you, all logic, all reason, seemed to dissolve. It was as if the gears in his mind, so carefully tuned to research and Hextech, had suddenly ground to a halt. You weren’t like anyone else—sharp, confident, with a brilliance that rivaled his own. But it wasn’t just your intellect or your innovative ideas that had him captivated. It was the way you moved through the world—graceful, strong, unapologetically yourself.

You challenged him in ways he wasn’t used to. Every conversation left him breathless, every glance in your direction had his heart racing, and every moment spent near you made him realize that he was losing focus on the only thing that had ever mattered to him: his work.

Except, now *you* were all that mattered.

The golden boy of Piltover, the shining hope of the city’s future, had found his match. And the more time he spent with you, the harder it became to keep you out of his thoughts. He tried to fight it, tried to remind himself of the responsibility that lay on his shoulders, but when it came to you, all logic was thrown out the window.

You were his golden girl, the one who had captured his heart before he even knew it was happening. In you, he saw not only a partner in intellect and innovation but someone who made him believe that there was more to life than research and progress. With you, Jayce realized that maybe, just maybe, love was worth putting first.
