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.

"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..."

[willysilver]

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

[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."

[willysilver]

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

[prince_of_nymphs]

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

[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.

[prince_of_nymphs]

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

[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.

[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.

[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..."

[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.

[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."

[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."

[willysilver]

Willy approached then and reached out, his touch light.

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

[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."

[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.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I think that sounds fair," Fin nodded, "I can't promise it'll always be the same day or night, but at least one a week will be spent with you."

[willysilver]

"It will be the bright spot of my week," Willy beamed, hands slipping up Fin's arms to his shoulders where he dared to pull him closer and lean in for a kiss.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Fin leaned in to meet him, kissing him softly, then leaning against his chest.

"We're going to get it right this time, Will," he promised quietly. "I feel certain of it."

[willysilver]

"I hope that you are right. I cannot stand not having you to share my days and nights with," he said, then paused. He paused for a very long moment. "I...am sorry for interrupting your night before. I should have knocked. I did not think." He paused again. "I still do not like to think on it."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Well, you'll be glad to know he left not long after you," Fin said quietly, looking a touch upset.

[willysilver]

"I am not glad," he sighed. "I have never felt jealous of your other lovers. As I would hope you would not be jealous of mine if I were to take any. But to see you together pierced my heart, Fin," he said, his fingers drawing lines on the man's arms.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Do you plan to take on lovers?" Fin asked quietly, leaning into the touch a little.

[willysilver]

"I plan very little," he replied, which wasn't a no, but it wasn't a yes, either.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"It's just- I told you when I intended to, so I'd appreciate the same from you," Fin explained.
