[ WP ] Write a story of revenge between two men during the early Victorian era with a twist .

The glass of brandy clacked gently on the small side table as it was placed. `` Jonathan, you've betrayed me.'' Dorian sunk deep into the velvet arm chair, both hands aloft in front of him. `` I was courting Emily Simmons, and now you've engaged her!'' His hands withdrew to his forehead, his entire body slumping foreword. 
 
 `` Oh Dorian, I do want to thank you for bringing her to my attentions. I do only dwell just inside your rather large social circles. This should n't hurt you too badly. You've got time to find a lovely woman.'' Johnathan turned to Dorian Grey now back to his feet, posed as if to fight. 
 
 `` What did you say? How did you know about that?'' Dorian strode foreward and grabbed Johnathans blazer. `` Johnathan Smyth, you had best tell me all that you know right now, no quit struggling. This only ends when I am satisfied.'' 
 
 `` Dorian please, what has taken hold of you? I only mean that you were still youthful. I intended no offence.'' Dorian released him and stepped away. he was as white as linen. `` I'm sorry, I am under stress constantly in this old house. I need a change.'' Johnathan grabbed his brandy and sipped. `` Dorian that is why I came. I do n't know how to say this but -- I do n't think I can marry her. She is just nessicary for appearances. I love you.'' Johnathan pulled himself towards Dorian, then Dorian to him. 
 
 Dorian struggled for a moment, then succumbed and embraced Johnathan. `` So this is your vengance for her taking my infatuations?'' they both knew it was, but now the sparks of passion were igniting a fire inside of them that they did n't want quenched. They kissed and held each other. In the attic, behind the silk curtain Dorian's portrait lost it's cruel smirk and developed a smile, he was truely happy.
