Open: All that you are is a face in the mirror

[vineleaves]

That was certainly a weird dream. If he hadn't experienced everyone else being ...weird alternate versions, he wouldn't think anything of it, but considering the fact that he had, he is now wondering if it happened to him, as well.

First order of business though is of course checking on Mercutio, to make sure he is back. Once that particular fear is gone, he decides breakfast is in order, then he should check up on the garden. Hopefully today will be normal and uneventful.



If anyone would like to speak with regular Dionysus now that he is no longer an AU, feel free! Or honestly if you just want to talk to him anyway, that's fine too.

"...Oh. Yeah, that would've been a good surprise." Damn. "I mean, I still don't know when you might decide to wear that. So it will still be a surprise!"

[futaille]

"True." He pauses. "You don't mind that it shows off a lot of my scars?"

[vineleaves]

"Oh, sweetheart," he wraps him up in a tight hug. "Why would I mind that? They show you're alive." Truly dead people do not get scars. "That you're getting a second opportunity, and that I'm lucky enough to get to be part of it."

[futaille]

He hugs back a bit automatically. "If you're sure."

[vineleaves]

He kisses Grantaire, his darling, sweet, amazing Étienne, who deserves nothing but happiness and joy. "You're beautiful, love." One hand makes its way to his chest. "All of you."

[futaille]

"Even my... fourth toe? What about the mole on the back of my left knee?"

[vineleaves]

Dionysus giggles. "Yes, especially those."

[futaille]

"Oh, especially?"

[vineleaves]

"Well, of course," he says, still giggling. "You know how much I love the backs of left knees. So much more attractive than the backs of right knees."

[futaille]

"Does the same side preference extend to elbows?"

[vineleaves]

Hand over his heart, he fakes being extraordinarily offended. “Of course not. Everyone knows it’s the opposite for elbows.”

[futaille]

"Oh, of course. So clearly, then, the back of my right knee and left elbow aren't beautiful."

[vineleaves]

“Ah, no but you see, I never said they weren’t attractive, I just said the other sides were more.”

[futaille]

"That seems like cheating."

[vineleaves]

“How is that cheating?” he laughs.

[futaille]

"Taking advantage of lexical loopholes. Which, in fairness, I approve of wholeheartedly."

[vineleaves]

"I don't think it's cheating, I think it's ... being advantageous."

[futaille]

"Oh, is that it?"

[vineleaves]

"Yep."

[futaille]

"I like that. Well done."

[vineleaves]

He kisses Grantaire.

[futaille]

He kisses back and then smiles. "You know, I was happy to meet the other you. But I'm glad you're back."

[vineleaves]

"You know you can't get rid of me for very long," he says with a smile, but after a moment he shifts to rest his head on Grantaire's shoulder. "Thank you for asking him to talk about my mother. His mother. Whatever."

[futaille]

"Oh. Oh, I had forgotten about that, yes. I just... I thought that since you didn't get to know her, that you should at least get to learn something about her."

[vineleaves]

"Kinda wish I could've actually swapped with him -- just for the day, y'know, obviously. Would've been nice to meet her." He sighs, but then laughs. "Plus I could have really freaked out Pentheus."
