Night
This drabble is a sequel to The Ledger and Michel. It is the end of the
series for now, although I may revisit this storyline someday.

Florian wakes abruptly; someone is in his bedroom. He forces himself to
remain still, eyes closed.
There's a touch and he almost cries out, afraid that Michel has finally come to
claim him. The scent is wrong, yet achingly familiar. For a heart-stopping
moment, he wonders if madness has taken him.
The bed shifts and the scent surrounds him. He wraps his arms around the body he
thought he'd never feel again and meets every kiss with equal passion. His
frozen heart begins to thaw and he finally opens his eyes.
"Mine," he hears, and his despair transforms into joy.
