Tuesday - November 11th, 2008 Who: Syn and Will When: Evening Where: Rocky's Dorm What: Old acquaintances reunite.
Syn was nervous. This was due to two very specific reasons. For one, he liked to keep his personal life and professional life separate and this would be the first time that there would be someone in his workplace that knew what he liked to do outside of work. For two, that person was Will Grey. It had been ages since he'd seen the other man, a man that he had respected a great deal during the short time that they'd gotten to know one another in LA, a man that he had thought about often since then and had resigned himself to the fact that he would never see him again. But he was going to see him again, in about twenty seconds, after he lifted his hand to knock on the door.
Without makeup, wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt, his hair still wet, Syn lifted a hand and knocked lightly. There was something about this moment that left him feeling vulnerable in a way that he rarely ever did. Sure, he was typically submissive. He made himself vulnerable in every physical way possible and enjoyed it. But this was different. There wasn't the mask of his makeup or his clothes (or sometimes the lack thereof) to hide behind. He was just him at the door, not a toy and not a pet. Only Ikon ever really saw him like this, but here he was.
