To quote Miss Congeniality: "A brief, shining moment and then that mouth." We have that beautiful, amazing kiss and then Dom has to go and ruin it. I wanted to slap him. (And Matt too, actually.)

It's gorgeous, though, as always. There's just so much pain and they both need lots of cuddles.

He wouldn't deny them and wouldn't refuse them, as much as he wanted to. And for the first time in his life, he hated the fact that he was in love.
This hurt me. Matt really is brave and strong and I think this is all the more important for what he's been through and who he is. ♥

Yes, he had kissed Matthew. Yes, he had lied to him in the worst of ways. And yes, the kiss had meant everything to him.
Was that so hard, really? You couldn't have done that in the flat? (At least, though, he's admitted this to himself and is processing. I'm being optimistic.)

Secretly he wished his bare feet would step on it, secretly he wanted to inflict as much pain on himself as possible.
:( Poor thing--he's in pain, he's caused pain. </3 Gorgeous, as always! And welcome back! I hope everything's gone well and you had a good holiday! :)
