Benjy: Ahhh I can't believe I have so many reviews for that chapter especially since the Penny Dreadful Fandom has just started. I'm actually glad that there is Victorian fans already. The moment I saw Victor and Dorian I was like:
"DORIAN MUST STEAL VICTOR'S VIRGINITY YEAHHHHH!"
No I literally had the biggest fangirl moment.
Anyway Enjoy.
Victor was completely speechless. The younger man had taken him to the most private expensive restaurant in all of London. The young Doctor couldn't remember the last time he ate somewhere even close to as fancy as this.
As they walked through the restaurant Victor noticed the swooning and loved filled gazes of women staring at Mr Gray. He felt a strange surge of pride. As they neared their table he noticed the rich lad pull out a chair for him in a graceful manner but Victor wouldn't have any of that, he was a man, he did not need someone pulling out chairs and opening doors for him so he walked to the seat across the one Dorian had pulled out and sat down. The Immortal shrugged and sat down on the chair he had just pulled out.
"So tell me Doctor, what do you specialize in?" Asked Dorian as he looked through a menu.
Victor stared at the menu, he felt like a dead duck. How was he going to afford to pay for such meals? He scanned the menu for something affordable when suddenly a hand clutched his right hand.
"Doctor, feel free to order anything you like, it's on me really, I made the reservation" Dorian could tell that the Doctor was not comfortable with the position he was put in. Torn between choosing the cheapest platter as to not be an expense or choose a meal that would not offend the other man.
Victor looked sadly at the menu "They are all much too pricey, I can not thrust such expenses upon you sir"
Dorian smirked "Well I do need a private Doctor, my previous one unfortunately passed away, you can repay me by giving me my first session free"
Victor nodded "Is this why you approached me? You are in need of a new private Doctor? All this is completely unnecessary, you could have just asked. I'm usually working on research however I specialize in immunology, physiology and anatomy. However I am skilled in other medical matters too, I'm currently working with Sir Malcom Murray"
Dorian's eyes glinted "Sir Malcom, do you perhaps know Ms Ives?"
Victor's head shot up "Uh yes... I have... treated her a couple of times, I currently stay with them, last night I slept at my lab because I was going to retrieve a few items but it was too late to walk back to Sir Malcoms"
"Is that so? I can not imagine Ms Ives needing any treatment ever, she is much to healthy-looking I would say, I can not imagine her catching a cold" Dorians voice was like honey. Everything about Dorian was well crafted to perfection. It made Victor... self conscious.
'If you call Pscho-sexual trauma and being possessed by a being beyond our understanding healthy...' "I would say the same thing about you Mr Gray, why would you need a private Doctor? You're young, fit, healthy, everything you should be"
The godlike man smirked "Just precautions, I'd like to make sure I'm healthy at least once a month, and I do pay quite generously" He leaned foward at the Doctor who was blushing under his intense gaze.
Suddenly a waiter came up "Mr Gray, Sir, can I take your order?"
After ordering and half an hour of convincing the Doctor to not feel guilty about ordering a bankrupting meal. They sat peacefully eating.
"So what do you do for a living?" Victor asked as he stabbed a carrot with his fork.
Dorian looked up. He never really ever thought about it but he practically did nothing. He felt like a waste of space "I uh... I don't work, I don't need to, my parents were very wealthy and when they passed I inherited a fortune, not that it would last forever so I have invested in many businesses and Trade companies. So I do generate some income from that"
Victor looked confused "Then what do you do all day, certainly you don't sit around doing nothing all day?"
"Well my day is consumed by hobbies, usually things I have a passion for, I personally like to learn something new everyday" he murmured hardly even touching his food.
"And what do you have a passion for Mr Gray?"
Dorian once again looked up staring at the adorable man infront of him. His eyes lingered on the lips that moved as he chewed his food. He couldn't help but stare. The Doctor is the first person who kept 'The Dorian Gray' entranced and under a strong spell. He stared at the supple pale flawless skin, almost sickly white as if he was not properly nourished. His eyelids red and slightly puffy but still Dorian found him absolutely breathtaking.
"Beautiful things Mr Frankenstein, beautiful things.."
Victor nodded "I myself am interested in fine poetry, I feel entranced by the idea of the world seen through the eyes of an open-minded person, to see religion entwined with everyday life. To understand the difference between flaws and imperfection, you see I believe flaws is something everyone see's but imperfection is something an individual see's in a different light"
"Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder..." Dorian murmured.
Victor smiled a brilliant smile. Finally someone who understands him. His eyes lit up and it made Dorians heart beat faster. He felt so satisfied that he finally made the awkward serious man smile.
"Yes it is"
"I... I find you very very beautiful Dr Frankenstein "
Victor choked on his drink "I-I I uh.. I... Thank you Mr Gray but I am a man I prefer not to be called beautiful"
Dorian smirked "Very well however there is many words to describe how physically attractive I find you"
The Doctor blushed deeply. He shifted awkwardly in his seat. "I would rather you not tell me"
Dorian raised an eyebrow. There was not a single person he has ever met that didn't enjoy flattery from him. "Have you never been with a man before?"
"N-no" Victor blushed. It was so virginal. As if to say he had never been touched before. It made the younger looking man swell with happiness.
"Have you ever been with... anyone?"
The doctor shoved a forkfull of food in his mouth to mask his heated expression "I... I.. I find the act of intercourse very animalistic and dirty... I have never experienced the touch of another, I don't really need to, my work keeps me quite occupied "
"Ah but you must set aside time for fun things other than work, maybe festivals and stage performances right?"
"I never had the time or company to go to such events" Victor murmured sadly.
Dorian placed a delicate finger under the dimpled chin and lifted it up to look at him "Well now you have the company, I'm sure we can find time Doctor"
Victor for the umpteen time that morning blushed and looked away "Perhaps"
So far what do you think?
Yes I know PD fics need to have sex every chapter but since Victor is really a virgin, I decided to take it a little slower but definately SLASH SEX in the next chapter.
Please review.
