Then, Mister Petrov was someone close to you?

[ Simon hadn't known since Dorian never mentioned. But he did meet Yuri earlier in the month and thought him quite a decent man. ]

To put it simply, Yuri and I were dating.

[ ... He'd taken Dorian seriously after he'd come back to life and said that being in this world was a second chance. And when Simon had asked if there were others, and Dorian claimed there weren't, Simon had also wanted to believe him. So he really shouldn't have been surprised at the revelation because—he reminds himself—this is Dorian Gray he's speaking to.

But he was surprised regardless. ] ... I see. And you mean as in serious dating. I'm—I'm sorry, it's terrible to have found out that he was Lunatic.

[ Simon doesn't think he could imagine that sort of betrayal. ~~If only he knew... that he could.~~ ]

Yes, I do mean as in serious dating, [ said a little aggravated. There's a pause, then a sigh. Because it's not Simon's fault. Simon doesn't have anything to do with this. This is all him and Yuri. All Dorian and his own terrible mistakes. ]

...thank you, though. And you're right. It was terrible. Still, I suppose I've got to try to put it behind me.

Sorry. [ He still feels bad for have mentioning it at a time like this. ]

Did you want any company? Maybe a couple bottles, the drink of your choice?

God, I'd kill—I mean, I'd enjoy some company. Especially yours. [ because Simon's safe. Simon's inoffensive, and nice, and perfect for Dorian to get his mind off of this debacle of the past few days. ]

Name the place.

Depends. Somewhere public with more people, or somewhere quiet with more privacy? Because if we're going for the latter, I guess you could stop by mine. I mean—

[ He pauses here, thinks a moment. ] —I do have roommates, but they're of the 'live, and let live' sort. I hardly ever notice when they're actually home.
