    Summary

    Lawrence is considering the benefits of leaving the room to go throw up somewhere when Vincent finally speaks.

    “I wouldn’t call it a crush,” he says, his voice even and calm, brown eyes sparkling.

    Lawrence nods, slightly hysterical. “You wouldn’t?” He asks hopefully. Good, okay. Vincent agrees. All that’s here is friendship. Simple, easy, proper. Appropriate. Friendship.

    “No.” Vincent shakes his head and sets his teacup down. “I would say that I am in love with you.”

    Summary

    They stand intertwined, Vincent’s back flush against Thomas’ heaving chest. The only thing separating them is the wool of their vestments, white stark against black. It is a brutal, stagnant embrace.

     

    Vincent never turns around. Thomas never sees his face.

     

    Thomas Lawrence is plagued by a recurring dream. It is the same each night, until it's not.

    Summary

    He wonders if Thomas is sharing Innocentius’s bed already, if he thinks it far too large for one man, a man revered for his isolation. The things Aldo has thought of doing on that bed, dreams with no real heat or desire, just a sense of being called to do something. Of filling a need. Making daddy proud.

    What a sad, foolish man he is.

    (Aldo Bellini can do without the papacy, but he cannot do without Thomas).
