Summary: Dominic needs to make a decision
"You have five minutes Dom, five minutes to decide if you're in or out. If you're out, no harm done and we'll go on as before. If you're in..well things change, for better or worse who knows? But they do change."
Dom stared into the fire repeating Billy’s speech over in his head, marvelling at the mixture of reds and ambers and wondering exactly how much it'd hurt if he hurled himself in there. A coward’s way out? Maybe, he glanced at the clock on the mantle felt its loud tick resounding through his head pounding right down to his toes. He had 2 minutes left roughly, two minutes in which to decide what the nature of his relationship with Mr. William Boyd was to be.
1 minute 50 seconds.
He could just turn away. No harm no foul as they say. Billy wouldn't mind, of course he wouldn't; Bills was his mate wasn't he? Above all else, they'd always be friends.
1 minute 38 seconds.
But Billy would always be holding back, would never fully open himself up. And gradually a gap would grow between them and maybe one day what was once a tiny gap in a great friendship would grow to be a giant chasm in a strained acquaintance.
1 minute 8 seconds.
Could he risk it? Would he risk Billy? Friendship was a rare thing for Dominic and he'd precious little experience with it up to this point.
48 seconds.
Truth be told he was curious, he wanted to know what dark secrets haunted Billy at night, what torrid affairs had the capacity to keep his brilliant green eyes dull only to make them sparkle and twinkle again. He wanted to know Billy.
30 seconds.
Was it enough?
29 seconds.
Was Billy enough?
10 seconds.
Crunch time he thought to himself, its do or die now. Turn away or go on. Two roads...something something. How did that poem go?
2 seconds.
And he's there. Suddenly in the room and Dominic only realised now how he'd always had that unnerving habit of just appearing in the middle of the room without any noise or any fuss.
0 seconds.
"Well Dommie?"
Dom looks up and all he can see is Billy, his senses are full of him. His eyes drink in the sight of Billy's almost delicate frame, the marvellous grace that he always seems to possess. His nose can smell the deep earthy musk that brings back memories of Dom's childhood but are also entirely Billy and then he finally knows, knows this was always his only real option.
Dom clears his throat before meeting his level gaze with one he hopes is just as calm.
"I want in Bills...I want to go with you"
Billy smiles and Dominic is sure he has just seen the ninth wonder of the world.
"Excellent Dommie. Bloody excellent!"
