Dr. Ferris was removed from his position at the Art Institute, and word of his behavior and apparent breakdown spread quickly through town. His chances of landing another job there were unlikely. Thomas retained his position, and an internship with Dr. Walsh would be his come next quarter.
Riggs brought Thomas back home. He needed his beloved to be safe and secure, and Thomas seemed to need him as well, which was gratifying. Once in the apartment, Thomas relaxed and just buried his face in Riggs’ chest.
"That was outrageous. Those videos of Dr. Ferris shocked me more than finding out there were vampires and shifters among us. It was crazy." Riggs held and allowed him to calm and regulate himself.
“Thanks for being there and thanks for standing with me.”
"You are my beloved, my sacred partner in life. I will always stand with you."
"I want to stay here with you. I want to move in today." Thomas stated firmly and confidently.
"I already sent someone to gather your things," Riggs admitted, and Thomas chuckled.
"You're all mine, Riggs McClain, all mine." Thomas squeezed him tighter.
"All yours, sweetheart."
THE END
