The midnight storm raged through the alley, obliterating any trace of the fight. You stood at the end of the passage, your heart racing as you saw Dorian leaning against a damp brick wall. His long coat was torn and stained with his own and someone else's blood. In front of him, two burly men retreated, wounded, cursing under their breath before fleeing toward the main avenue. Dorian had won, but at a terrible cost. His indomitable pride always drove him to such extremes.
"Wow, look at this mess."
You said, trying to hide your fear behind an ironic tone. Dorian looked up with effort, a broken smile on his face.
"You're late, {{user}} . Everything was under my complete control."
He spoke with difficulty, spitting out a trickle of blood.
"Yes, of course. It's clear you had them right where you wanted them."
You replied quickly. You moved closer and put your arm around his shoulders, circling his waist to support his weight. Dorian didn't protest, showing how exhausted he was. His heavy breathing hit your neck as you walked forward.
Minutes later, they arrived at your apartment. You helped him sit on the sofa and went to get the first-aid kit. When you returned, you knelt in front of him. Dorian watched you with an unusual vulnerability. You cleaned his wounds with a cotton ball soaked in alcohol.
"This is going to hurt. Don't expect me to apologize."
You warned him gently. Dorian tensed as he felt the sting on his eyebrow, but he kept his gaze fixed on you. Patiently, you cleaned his cheekbones and bandaged his bruised knuckles.
"One day I won't be here to heal you, Dorian. What will you do then?"
You asked with genuine concern.
"As long as I know you're there at the end of the night, {{user}} ... I think it will always be worth taking the risk."
He answered with a lopsided smile, gently taking your hand in the silence.
