Chance encounter, collision of fate...Ill fated rumble with a classmate landed both in the hospital, only one had a savior. Dorian...a painted face and tiny braids of ebon hair, image that wouldn't be erased from a hazed mind. He had stayed, waited for Cameron's release...only to be yelled at by the agitated boy. Still, he gave no harsh words in return...merely turned and left.

Another day, another twist of fate brought them face to face once again. Dorian should have been mad...yet he wasn't. Rather, quite the contrary was proved when Cameron was invited over. Not this time...but perhaps another?

Yet again paths came to cross, and this time more changed then Cameron could have believed. Into another world, where masks were shed and secrets told. No more confusion, no more anger or fright. Life was changed in little more than a few random meetings with the man with a gift, and there was no going back. Come or go, Dorian had made a permanent imprint into the heart and mind of the once lost youth...

INTERMISSION

Months apart, feelings gone...only for one.  Dorian would always hold a place is the lost one's heart, for he had been the one to break through the shell and awaken the emotions buried inside....

...You're pretty when you cry...

...You're pretty when you're mine...
