For Dorian Gray

[singulartragedy]

*when they've reached the room (it's small, and plain, but he's lived in worse) Adrian will shut the door behind them, glad to be alone, but also rather wishing they weren't*

Well... charming place, Adrian. *lounges comfortably in a chair* Please -- tell me what I've missed. *pulls Adrian down onto his lap and starts kissing his neck*

[singulartragedy]

It's good enough, for the purposes. *and he'd like to give in, to do as Dorian wants him to do, but the conscience is a pesky thing -- so he tenses a little, as if he might draw away* I won't be able to tell you a thing, if you go on like that.

[allartisuseless]

*a little distracted* I'm listening... *busies himself with removing Adrian's shirt*

[singulartragedy]

No, you aren't. *is, however, showing no further signs of removing himself from Dorian's lap*

[allartisuseless]

I am, truly. *sets the shirt aside and kisses the hollow of his throat* Please go on.

[singulartragedy]

*really can't help melting a little at that, and so there's only a nervous sort of laugh* I don't know how you expect me to think, let alone speak.

[allartisuseless]

*laughs softly and moves onto his chest* You're a clever boy, you can think of a way.

[singulartragedy]

*bends his head to kiss Dorian (he doesn't know what he'll tell Jim, but he'll think of that later)* You make a fool of me. Always.

[allartisuseless]

*mock surprised look* Make a fool of you? Never, my dear. Perish the thought. *returns the kiss sweetly* Have you missed me?

[singulartragedy]

Dreadfully. *leans in as if to kiss him again, but oh, is that a pang of the conscience? damned inconvenient, those are*

[allartisuseless]

... what's the matter? *finishes the kiss*

[singulartragedy]

*pulls away, rather reluctantly* I can't. I'm sorry.

[allartisuseless]

*looks hurt* Why ever not?

[singulartragedy]

I -- Jim wouldn't like it.

[allartisuseless]

... Jim?

[singulartragedy]

*nods* So you see, I really oughtn't --
