Really? What sort of child doesn't expect a gift on Christmas?

[Other than the poor workers and orphans, but Dustin doesn't seem like he belongs to the lower class. Not that he has to explain how Victorian society works.]

I'll be right back! [He disappears into his room for a moment. Feel free to follow.]

I dunno, I figured Wonderland would screw us all over.

[ He says that as he's following the other, stopping right at the doorway to squint at the surroundings as he waits. ]

Can I say hi to Basil?
theothermrgray: (small smile)

Funny you should ask about Basil...

[Dorian comes out of his room with a velveteen rabbit in his arms. It's just like the old Christmas story, but of a much nicer quality.]

[He presents it to Dustin.] Happy Christmas, my friend.

Woah.

[ It's cute. It's really cute, and even though Dustin's supposed to like grown up things now he takes it with a strange sort of child like reverence. ]

This looks just like the one in the book! Do you know it? the Velveteen Rabbit?
theothermrgray: (small smile)

[Dorian chuckles.] No, but it must have been one of your favorites.

I know how much you like visiting my rabbit, so I thought you should have one of your own.

[ He's definitely not hugging it. Not at all. And he definitely doesn't enthusiastically pipe up: ]

You can borrow a book if you want! My room just sort of came with it. Actually, my room looks a lot like my one back home.

Can I still visit your bun, though?
theothermrgray: (perhaps)

[Dustin, you're a child. You are allowed to do these things in front of an adult.]

Does it now? So we have that in common...

[Dorian glanced behind him at his room.]

I don't see a problem with visiting my rabbit. Perhaps you could bring your book with you as well.
chocolatepudding: <lj user=goodish> (matter how far)

[personal profile] chocolatepudding 2017-02-24 12:02 am (UTC)(link)
It's totally a deal. Another one of many.

And--Dorian? Thanks. This is the first Christmas without my family, so..

[ He shrugs. ]

It means a lot.
theothermrgray: (perhaps)

[personal profile] theothermrgray 2017-02-24 07:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[He chuckles.] It's two deals now, if I remember correctly.

[Suddenly, those events didn't seem all that bad. Dorian never really thought much about children before Wonderland, much less caring about one of them. He wonders, briefly, if he would have befriended this child without the influence of Neverland making them equals for a few days. Certainly, he wouldn't have met the boy again if it wasn't for that flower crown.]

[At any rate, Dorian felt a sense of calm satisfaction as he patted the boy's shoulder. This wasn't the fleeting satisfaction from material things or questionable habits. This was something else.]

It must be rather hard on you. I thought you might have needed a happy Christmas.
