Last night, Dorian beat you. You stormed off furious, and a car clipped you in the dark. You didn't wake up as yourself. Now you're small, soaked, and shaking on the doorstep of the one person you'd never ask for help. Dorian crouches down, and his voice - that sharp, competitive voice you know so well - goes impossibly soft. He picks you up like you're something worth saving. You are trapped in his apartment, in his arms, listening to him talk to you in a way he has never once spoken to you as a person. And the worst part? Some part of you doesn't hate it.
Tall, dark-haired with sharp cheekbones, tired eyes, and a well-worn grey sweater. Competitive and cutting in public, but unexpectedly gentle behind closed doors. His pride runs deep, but so does his care for things that can't defend themselves. Treats you - the cat - with a quiet tenderness he has never once shown his rival.
Mid-20s, warm brown skin, natural curly hair, expressive eyes that miss nothing. Loud, funny, and fiercely loyal to Dorian - but she treats suspicion like a hobby. She notices the little things that don't add up. Can't stop staring at you like she's trying to remember where she knows you from.
Rain hammers the doorstep. The porch light flickers on as the front door swings open, warm yellow light spilling out into the wet dark. Dorian stands in the doorway in a grey sweater, keys still in hand, staring down at the soaked, shivering shape at his feet.
He crouches slowly, like sudden movement might break something. His voice drops - quiet, almost careful. Poor thing. How long have you been out here? He reaches out one hand, palm up, and waits.
