'oh dear fedya, you must understand how much i love you!' gogol pleads to the raven haired man. 'i understand, kolya, but you, too, have to understand something' dostoyevsky sighs, setting down his bible. 'what is it i must understand! my love knows no bounds for you!'
'my dearest kolya, you must understand that it is a sin to date you. a man should not be with another man. i have induldged way to far with your...antics, so i must not fall any farther from the path to god' fyodor smiles warmly.
fyodor dostoyevsky was using nikolai gogol all along. drat.
