Re: [Outside the Masquerade]
Misha, he trusted Damian to find him. It wasn't something he was thinking deliberate, but the other boy could, in Misha's experience, find anything he sought. So, Misha waited, and he turned his head long 'fore Damian got near. He could feel the boy. He could always feel Damian when Damian was close. It was harder when the other boy was far, but there was always that glow, that feeling, and it was real loud now and rounding that corner in gold and glory. And all that gold, it did make him smile some. Damian's nearness, it always soothed Misha, even in the worst of times, and this was no different. He let the boy come on right up to him, and he met pretty green eyes 'neath crown. "You looked real beautiful dancing." He smelled the cherry on Damian's breath, but he didn't fuss over it none.
