IT’S A SURPRISE—— kind of . actually , it might be a better surprise if he’d bothered to clean up the place , or at the very least , dust it off . but it’s too late now , with his hands firmly planted on the mage’s shoulders , carefully guiding him down the stairs . he keeps one eye on dorian’s back , the other on the steps , to make sure there are no sudden accidents . ❛ keep them closed , ❜ he repeats , for what must be the tenth time . teeth bite down on a lower lip , the urge to grin winning once they reach the bottom of the stairs . ❛ no peeking . ❜
just a few more meters . he lets go for a second , just to round up and get in front so he can reach out to grab the mage’s hand instead . fingers interlock , a slight pressure between sweaty palms , and then he’s pulling the other man to follow . one quick glance back is spared , just to make sure dorian isn’t looking . ❛ c’mon , we’re almost there . ❜
