[ It's fascinating, infuriating, how much faster Theo heals now, free of his own sigil to become more powerful than the Teddie Dom left back home. The boyfriend he doesn't think he could do this to (but he has, he just doesn't remember, same as with Theo), but wants to imagine reacting in the same way — hurting, then asking for more. Dom's pants are already taut when he's woken up by the pressure of Theo rubbing up against him, a shaken breath through longer teeth, but then it looks like he's trying to get up to get away, so Dom's hand immediately weighs down between his shoulder blades, keeping most of him flat on the floor. ]
No, you're not getting up.
[ But then Theo tells him what he actually wants, and Dom feels the darkness of his encounter with Death's spirit flooding again. He grabs Theo's shirt, pulls it up and off his shoulders, throws it aside; curls his fingers and sinks his claws on each half of an exposed back. Sometimes, mostly in dreams, Dom gets flashes of memories from his altered state — most have been in the rooms his mothers built to keep a wolf that kept growing bigger as he aged, then to keep him and others safe. They aren't pleasant or exciting, and the ones from the fortunately few instances where he got away or didn't manage to make it back home in time are… exciting, but often not pleasant, and he can never be completely sure that they're all real. There are some he really wants to remember, though. Like the night Teddie found him and brought him home. The night Theo's wards didn't work and he had to keep a monster distracted. ]

Tell me what it did, Teddie.
