unrequited love

"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. "whar 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.
