Verlaine had recently arrived home, all he had done was take a shower, change his clothes and then go to the bedroom he shared with his boyfriend, Arthur. Verlaine threw himself on the bed, and then turned on the radio, to some classic old ballet music. Everything was quiet... but he started to cling towards his boyfriend slolwy, placing his hands around Arthur's waist and placing his face on his neck.

"I missed you so much, ma cherie. I want your kisses."
