Say can he think of this with mind serene / And silent fetters? Yes, if visions bright

WHO: Tobias Matthews and Dorian Gray.
WHERE: Their place at the Maurtia Falls Appt Complex.
WHEN: Oct 9, hours before sunrise.
WHAT: Toby finally decides to go home.
WARNINGS: Dorian is still eternally young and beautiful and immortal, Toby is a vampire. Kissing, scratching, biting, fade to black before bumping uglies. Will update as necessary.

After texting Drew, Toby gives the apartment a last once-over before closing the door after himself, trying the knob one last time to make sure it's locked. Though he'd sounded confident telling Dorian that he'd be home soon, he still feels ambivalent after all that's happened. Leaving Drew like this feels wrong, but Toby's want and need and love for Dorian ultimately wins out. Especially because all this had been a huge misunderstanding, one that Dorian himself actually owns up to. Everything is going to be all right.

Or, so Toby would like to believe, but the truth is that he's incredibly conflicted. After all the support Drew's given, he really deserves more than a text about how Toby's leaving. He can't help feeling he should've told Drew in person, but instead he presses on toward Maurtia Falls via the Porter. And he feels like he really ought to tell Dorian about his feelings for Drew, but can he? It's hard to say...

Toby psyches himself up because Dorian's going to actually be there. Waiting for him. Soon enough, he reaches the apartment, his vampire heart-equivalent thundering in his chest when he reaches the door. His mouth seems dry, and so he swallows his anxiety, takes out his keys, and finally opens the door.

"Dorian?"
