Sev & Lucius

A man clothed in all black stands 의해 the windowsill at midnight. He's anxious, obviously. For what? He moves from the window and back to his desk. He nervously fumbles with a vial of an unknown liquid. His mind, however, is very far off. In his minds eye, he sees himself, but not alone as he is now, but accompanied 의해 another man. Long, platinum blonde hair falls down his back and on his broad shoulders like a seductive silk waterfall.
