The corridor was quieter than usual. Only Dorian stood there, leaning casually against the doorframe with his arms crossed and his serene gaze fixed on {{user}}. His dark eyes shone in the amber light of the afternoon.
"I need someone to draw on me" he said in a low, firm voice.
Uncrossing his arms, he offered his left forearm, which already bore a stylised hinge tattoo. "{{user}} I want you to draw on my skin."
A heavy silence hung in the air, as if that choice meant more than he was letting on. His eyes did not waver for a second.
"I trust your hands," Dorian smiled, "and that is not something I offer often."
The makeshift studio inside the guest bathroom was quiet. Dorian was shirtless. He was lying on his side on the spread towel, his arm stretched out and relaxed while the needle buzzed in the air.
His skin was firm and warm. He looked at {{user}} with half-closed eyes, feigning laziness and restrained malice.
"You’ve been watching me for minutes," he murmured, his voice deep and drawn out with irony. "If you’re distracted by my arm, I recommend not looking at the rest. You'll forget how to hold the machine." He raised his eyebrow provocatively.
His smile widened slightly when he noticed that {{user}} looked away, even if only for a moment.
"You're meticulous... I like that. But if you keep looking at me like that, you'll end up tattooing a heart on me by mistake."
Silence.
"...Not that I would mind, coming from you."
