[Their love has been tested and affirmed enough that he knows Toby won't abandon him again to the sleep of death.

But that doesn't mean he enjoys the reminder of the most terrible experience that anyone has ever left him to endure.]

I do understand, you know.

Death is part of your life in a way it'll never be a part of mine. [Even if he loses everyone he knows now and comes to meet in the future, and dies himself millions of times over. His body is alive, and will be eternally.] That can't be ignored, and it's the lens you see the world through.

[To find, or to even want to find, the beauty in that is the least of what Toby is owed after having his life taken from him at a young age.]

[rockandrollvampire]

[Dorian's the only person who could ever fully understand what all this means to him. Other vampires might understand some of it, other immortals might even get the basics, but they'll never, ever have the context to get the whole of it.]

it is
and Ill never be able to change that

but i love you
and I want this life with you
what we have here
fucked as it is at times
is the best thing that's ever happened to me
To US
Because i can hold you in our house and tell you with certainty one very important thing
I, Tobias Matthews, will NEVER choose to leave you. Never again.

[mayfairmonster]

I know. [On his end, Dorian smiles slightly to himself. As much as Toby might veer into hyperbole at any time for any reason, he knows the man would never say something like this and not mean it.]

You don't need to prove to me that you won't leave me, or make any sweeping pronouncements. I trust you. [More than anything or anyone.

And he won't go as far as saying it, but Toby's continued presence in his life alone was enough to earn the vampire his forgiveness. There's no pain the man could inflict on him that he can't let go of as long as Toby stays.]

[rockandrollvampire]

that doesn't mean I dont need to tell you
every day for the rest of time
how much I love you
YOU, Dorian Gray
and no one else

[It's unnecessary, but he'll do it anyway. Today. Tomorrow. Next Thursday. Next year. Next century. He'll say it again and again, because it's who he is and it's what he needs to do for his soulmate.]

let me prove it to you anyway tonight
or tomorrow morning
keep you from your nightmares by dreaming about me instead

[mayfairmonster]

You old romantic.


So. What's the thing you'll do for me that's enough to chase away the angel God once loved best? [From his nightmares, that is.]

[rockandrollvampire]

always

going to stop at some bakery after work
right as they open
find something so decadent we cant make it at home
Heat it up in the oven
make some coffee
and we're having breakfast in bed
mimosas and all
after I wake you with the best sex of your entire life

[mayfairmonster]

You really /do/ love me.

Let's eat cake in bed, [he decides spontaneously.] It's been a while since we've done a proper tea and coffee.

[rockandrollvampire]

mmm coffee cake
Im in
I'll find us some decadent cake
and make some of that good coffee you're getting us
itll be a grand start to your morning and end to my day

[mayfairmonster]

I’ll get us a collection of petite cakes in different flavors. If this really /is/ going to be an extravagantly decadent morning in bed, there need to be choices and chances to sample lots of things.

And to start it all, you’re going to wake me with your… hands? Mouth? Cock?

[rockandrollvampire]

i'm going to fall asleep the happiest man alive

mouth
I need to taste all the best things
before i go to sleep

[mayfairmonster]

Salty and savory, and then the sweetness of the cake as a palette cleanser.

This really will be a proper feast.

[rockandrollvampire]

i'll have nothing less with you

tomorrow then?
or do you need another day to pick out proper cakes
i can be patient


probably

[mayfairmonster]

I can pick them up this evening. The bakery I get all of our bread from is the same one that does our treats when I bring them home. If we put the cakes in the refrigerator they’ll stay perfectly moist until we eat them.

Actually, what are you doing now?

[rockandrollvampire]

nothing yet
too bright to head to the down for work
what's on your mind~

[mayfairmonster]

Blow off work with me. Let’s go to the bakery together once the sun sets. All of the flowering trees in the park are blooming right now, and that’s a vision all on its own, but with all of them flowering together the scent /could/ be enough to cover the smell of sex in the city. [For a vampire, that is. It doesn’t exactly matter for him.]

[rockandrollvampire]

[He really should go to work for the sake of their finances, but who is he to turn down an offer like that from his soulmate? It's the perfect blend of everything he loves all in one evening.]

even if it doesnt
I can forget about it for a bit
so long as you promise to make out with me under the flowering trees
just for a few minutes
Cant let the cake wait too long

[mayfairmonster]

[It’s such a Toby request that it makes him smile and huff a fond little laugh.]

I promise. We’ll find the tree dropping its petals in the most dramatic and picturesque way and kiss under that.

[rockandrollvampire]

I knew youd see things my way
alright darling
soon as the suns set
i'll head to the bakery
and we'll make a full night of it

[mayfairmonster]

I’ll meet you there as soon as it’s dark. See you then.
