Rating: PG-13
Pairing: BellDom/Original characters
Summary: When Dominic, a young college student from NYC, visits his sister in a small town in Southern Italy, he comes across Matthew, an Italian born, English raised wine maker and connoisseur. After their brief encounter, Dominic finds himself taken by this enigmatic and seductive man. During the two months of summer, he experiences more than he could've imagined.
Feedback: I'm a comment whore. Every time I read one, miniature fairies take handfuls of love from my heart and dispense them into yours.
Disclaimer: I don't own Muse, Matt or Dom. If I did, unspeakable acts would be committed.
Warning: Drinking. Language. Man-banter. 
Note: Fuck a duck I've missed the stress of posting. I'm so, so, so sorry for not updating anything in nearly two months. A lot of it has to do with life, school, writer's block, and the fact I've become terribly dependent on my writing buddy lalalive23 . We had our first proper writing party last night and I about shat myself from the amount of productivity I got done. SAY HAY CO-DEPENDENT. Anyways, I'll be updating AA, Infinity, and have the second part of this up AS SOON AS I CAN. Which means I will legit be writing in the middle of class because no, I will never need to know how to calculate the inverse of a logarithm. Sorry school board, but that ain't kosher. So yeah. OH OH. I forgot. My beautiful lalalive23 inspired one of the original characters you'll meet in this chapter. You'll know which one, it's mildly obvious. Also, I wanted to share that these are the images I had in mind for Nicolas and Matthew. Glorious thanks to lalalive23  and flavoroftea  for being gorgeous bit readers, cheerleaders, plot bunnies, and Ineedtostopneedingyous.

Warning: Small amount of cursing, wine drinking.
Note: So I was tired of doing homework and studying. So instead of typing up a summary of shit I will NEVER need to know, I finished this chapter that I've had halfway done for two weeks. Thank you to everyone who's waited and commented. Thank you, lalalive23  for...for basically everything, actually. You know what "everything" includes. I love your face. Also, I've included translations of the Italian used.
