The party had been lovely. Quite novel with the all black decor and fashions and food. He had stayed with Curnen until she had had her fill and then he tok her home to see her safe. But as soon as that duty was done he pointed his bike for home.

Up the lift, but left instead of right. Not to his flat but to Fin's.

He knocked softly, in case Fin was asleep. He listened, then knocked again.

"Fin, are you home?" he said to the closed door.

Fin nearly snapped out something along the lines of 'that's what happens when you give someone away', but he bit his tongue, aware that anger like that would get them nowhere.

"I know. ...I know, but- I never see you, you're never about."

"I was told to get out in the world. To not wallow and fade. And so I have been," Willy said. "As much as I would like to be home with you...you too are out quite often," he pinted out.

From:

Fin nodded, then wet his lips.

"So perhaps it's time I come home. If I'm home, we've no excuse not to talk, at the very least once a day."

From:

willysilver

Hope swelled within him but he could hardly believe what he was hearing.

"You would come home? To live with me and share our bed again?" he asked, moving closer to Fin.

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"Yeah. ...I mean, just on a trial bases. Let's give it to the end of the year, then we'll sit and have a long talk and see what we both want to do next," Fin said softly.

"Fin...you have made me so happy," Willy exhaled softly as his smile grew and grew. He reached for Fin's hands and held them gently. "Yes. Please. Come home to me."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

Fin smiled softly, nodding a little, then wetting his lips.

"Do you want me to come home tonight or- Did you have other plans?" he asked quietly.

From:

willysilver

"Yes! Tonight!" Willy beamed. "I have no plans but telly."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"Do you want to help me move a few things back in then? My laptop and clothes, maybe? ...Though now that Winter and Phouka are gone, we could make this an extension of our flat. An office for me, a studio for you..."

From:

willysilver

"We could take the whole floor and have a grand American style flat," he smiled. "Yes...I like that idea."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"I like it too," Fin smiled. "You could have a full recording studio, if you wanted. We could work on the songs we were writing and even record them."

"You are looking to the future. This gives me hope," he said, easing closer to take Fin's hands. "Thank you."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"We still have a lot of work to do," Fin warned gently, letting Will take his hands. "Both of us."

From:

willysilver

"I am willing. Eager. I want to make things better and I want to earn your love again. I want to be worthy of your trust," Willy replied.

From:

"In the meantime... I'd really like o go to bed. Our bed," Fin said quietly.

From:

willysilver

Never had Willy's heart swelled with such hope. He nodded and motioned for Fin to go first.

"I would like that more than you know," he replied gently.

From:

prince_of_nymphs

Fin paused to grab a few things, then led the way, dumping everything on the bed before setting about putting it all back where it belonged.

"I've missed this room," he admitted.

From:

willysilver

"I have missed you," Willy replied. "In here. In the world. I have missed breakfasts and lazy days with the telly and the way the sun shines through your hair when you step out to smoke..."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"I've missed you too," Fin admitted. "I just... I've had a lot of other feelings about us too. It's made it hard to just come home.

From:

willysilver

"I understand," the fae replied, following but at some distance. "All you feel is correct. All of it. Even the things I would rail and protest were wrong...all correct and right and valid. I understand this now."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"I just- I never want to feel like I'm something you own again. It's one thing in bed, it's another thing entirely outside the bedroom," Fin said softly. "But- I do want to believe things are going to be better now."

From:

willysilver

Willy approached then and reached out, his touch light.

"Things will be different," he promised. "I have been working so hard."

From:

prince_of_nymphs

"I'm going to work too," Fin promised. "I'm going to communicate better and- I'm going to try and be more around, if that's what you want."

From:

willysilver

"In all things we do we must make time for each other," he nodded. "Perhaps we should have a day all to ourselves, or at least a night. I know you must work, but...I miss you," he added more quietly.
