Description: Something is wrong with Dom.
Something’s wrong with Dom.
Billy knows this.
He doesn’t know what exactly is wrong, but something is most definitely not right with Dom. And it must be serious because Dom’s just sitting there.
Really, that’s all he’s doing; he’s not fidgeting, or bouncing, or even tapping his fingers to the music that is invariably playing through his head. He’s stock still…completely unmoving. He’s almost like some sort of Greek statue and to be frank, it freaks Billy out.
This is Dom; Dom never sits still. He has this restless energy about him, it just radiates from him. It seeps from his every pore and permeates the surrounding molecules, infusing them with an irresistible sort of glow that springs from Dom’s very fingertips. It’s annoyingly irrepressible and completely enchanting.
Billy has more than once found himself captivated by the sheer force of Dom’s personality and his endless vivacity. Whenever Dom enters a room, there’s this sudden change in the aura, or chi, or feng shui, or whatever the hell you choose to call it throughout the entire room. It’s almost like there’s a shift in the atmosphere into some sort of dynamic overdrive. Even at the liveliest parties and the swankiest clubs, Dom’s presence can be felt the very instant he arrives on the scene.
But right now, at this very moment, that familiar energy has seemingly dissipated. Billy runs through the checklist of things that could bring this sudden change in Dom’s demeanor. The entire cast is happy and healthy…no one is sick, dead, or dying…and to Billy’s knowledge, no one has pissed Dom off recently. There are hobnobs in the cabinet and beer in the fridge. The sun is shining and a slight breeze cools the air, perfect weather for surfing. Monty Python and the Holy Grail is playing on the telly…but Dom’s not even paying it any attention. What the fuck is wrong with Dom?
~~~
Billy has done something wrong.
Dom knows this.
He’s not certain that Billy knows what he’s done, but Billy has most definitely done something wrong. And it’s serious. So Dom’s just going to sit right here, ta very much, until Billy figures it out.
And by the way things are looking, this could take some time. Dom watches as Billy glances at him and tries to be surreptitious about it. Dom just glares absently at the wall, as if it’s the cause of all this fuss. It’s not of course, so he turns his attention (and his Darth-Vader-go-to-hell-death-glare) back to Billy.
He sees the looks of concentration on the other’s face as he goes through the list of things that aren’t wrong. Bloody hell, how long is it going to take him? It’s not fucking rocket science.
Dom keeps waiting and watching, looking for that face of comprehension when the epiphany strikes Billy.
And he waits some more.
And a little bit longer.
He’s never been a patient man and all of this waiting is starting to really irk him. He has a good mind to tell Billy that this is all about the fact that…ha! There’s the look; he’s finally got it!
~~~
Billy knows what’s wrong with Dom.
“It’s only 11 in the morning and you’re already brooding over it?” He chuckles, but stops abruptly when Dom casts a murderous glance his way.
Dom snuffles in a way that most certainly does not resemble a 3 year old girl, “You forgot didn’t you? You always find a way to tell me first thing in the morning. That one time it was on a post-it note. Then another time it was spelled out in my Alpha-bits cereal. You even put it on a poster on the ceiling one time, although I’ve never quite figured out how you did it. But it was always one of the first things I saw. I’ve been up since 8…and not a sign of it anywhere.”
Billy grins indulgently and holds out his hands toward Dom. “Okay, then, come here you big girl’s blouse.” And with that, he grabs hold of Dom’s hands and drags him to the bathroom.
He turns on the water and as the steam begins to rise Dom snaps, “If you think that I’m getting into the shower with you Billy Boyd then you have another thing coming. You think that you can just drag me in here, shag me and make me forget that you…”and that’s when he sees it.
Through the fog and mist of the shower, it’s there, on the mirror: “Happy Anniversary. I love you.”
Dom gracefully blushes and faces Billy. “I love you too, you know. Now about that shower and the shagging, I may have changed my mind.”

Thank you!

Btw, sorry I haven't been able to watch your vids on YouTube. My laptop died and I'm having to borrow internet/computer services from anywhere and everywhere that I can, so it's a bit intermittent. But the first thing that I want to do when I get my laptop fixed is catch up on your series. <3
