Taylor did his best to be quiet, which meant he was practically silent, as he snuck toward Isaac's bedroom close to the middle of the night. When he got there, he carefully opened the door and stuck his head around. His hand soon followed, Dorian sitting atop.
"See it?" Taylor cooed in fuzzle.
"I sees it Tay."
"Good."
Taylor carefully knelt down and set Dorian on the floor, the fuzzle waddling over to the bedside cabinet. Knowing this would take a while, Taylor retreated to his own room to wait.
Dorian eventually found himself on top of the cabinet, giggling to himself at the noise Isaac made when he slept. But remembering why he was there, he made his way over to the camera and pressed the button to turn it on.
He jumped up and down as it worked, the screen reminding him of TV. He stared at it for a moment, mesmerised, before beginning to nudge the buttons with his nose.
He eventually came to the incriminating photos of Taylor with Natalie, and chuckled to himself over them before getting to work by pressing the buttons that Taylor had taught him to.
Isaac
Isaac rolled over in his sleep, he muttered something, and reached for his blanket, only to not find it. Sleepy and annoying, he opened his eyes and discovered a weird blue light shining in his room. Paying it no mind, he located his blanket and pulled it over himself again, and went back to sleep.
Dorian
Dorian turned to watch Isaac, vaguely remembering that Taylor didn't want him to wake up. He'd told Dorian to be very, very quiet.
When Isaac stopped moving, Dorian went back to what he was doing. A few buttons later, and there were only three photos left. Dorian giggled a little, knowing he'd probably be getting a nice reward for it.
Isaac
Something clicked in Isaac's mind, and he shot back up again. Why was there a blue light on in his room?
He opened his eyes and looked around. He hadn't left his computer on - the camera!
Isaac got out of bed and walked over, spotting Dorian at his camera.
"Well, well," he said. "So Taylor's taught you to do his dirty work for him, huh Dorian?"
Taylor
Dorian squeaked something to the effect of the negative as Taylor realised he'd heard Isaac's voice.
Groaning to himself, he left his room and made his way back to Isaac's.
Isaac
"I'll have that, thank you," Isaac said, lifting the camera away from Dorian.
He checked the photos.
"I see," he said. "You've managed to delete three of them. That's very clever of you."
Taylor
"How did you know?" Taylor's eyes narrowed as he folded his arms in the doorway.
"I told him to be quiet and I know he would have."
Isaac
"I woke up," Isaac replied. "My blanket had fallen off the bed."
Isaac shut off the camera, and pointed a finger at Taylor.
"But you! What? You didn't trust me to delete them at the end of the week? I should be offended!"
Taylor
"I never said I didn't trust you," Taylor defended.
"Moreso I just want them gone as soon as possible."
He made his way over to fetch Dorian, giving the fuzzle a scratch for trying.
Isaac
"You need to learn some patience. And I think you were just trying to get out of the bargain," Isaac replied. "Because once the photos are gone you don't have to live up to your side of the deal - something which was your idea, I might add. I was willing to just share them with Zac and let him tease you guys about it until the next thing came up for him to tease you about. But oooooohhh noooooo. You just had to be sneaky."
Taylor
"Well I don't want her to be his next victim when it comes to teasing, ok?" Taylor defended.
"Can't you just leave it? Please?"
Isaac
"We had a deal," Isaac replied. "And I trusted you to keep your side of it, just as I have been mine. But instead you've been pushy and argumentative and now you're sneaking into my room. And I don't appreciate it. And I don't know why you're so worried - Zac barely ever sees Natalie."
Taylor
"But he still sees her," Taylor mumbled.
"I'm sorry for having Dorian sneak in, ok?"
Isaac
"Apology accepted," Isaac replied. "But don't do it again, or I will tell Zac everything with or without photos. And if Natalie keeps up her end of the bargain then I'll make sure that Zac doesn't tease her."
Taylor
"Ok," Taylor nodded.
"And I think she will."
Isaac
"Then you have nothing to worry about," Isaac replied.
Then he yawned.
"Okay, I'm going back to bed now. G'night Tay. And don't be too hard on Dorian. He almost got away with it."
Taylor
"Goodnight," Taylor uttered, leaving the room.
He took Dorian back to his own and sent him to bed, before sitting sullenly at his desk.
Staring at the nearest writing pad, he picked up a pen and started writing again.
