They're in bed, of course. Adam's barely left it in almost a week, except to eat and for other calls of nature.

He's lying, now, lazily half-propped up on one elbow, looking down at Thomas.

Looking at Thomas is a very pleasant activity, after all.

Comments

"Harry's going to kill me."

He smiles, though, as he runs his hand into Adam's hair and down the line of his neck and shoulders.

[callmefelicia]

Adam shivers pleasantly at the touch, as he always does, running his other hand over Thomas's chest.

"And it's Harry's business how?"

[always_thirsty]

"Considering he's my brother, hell yeah."

He leans back into the covers and arches his back in a stretch.

[callmefelicia]

"And why", Adam wants to know calmly, leaning down to press his lips to that perfect neck, "does your brother have any say in your sex life? He knows what you are?"

[always_thirsty]

He looks at Adam with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course he does. He's a wizard. He'd have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to know it right off."

He stretches again before wrapping an arm about Adam's shoulders.

"Mmm... because he knows it won't end well. And I've been trying to do things right."

[callmefelicia]

Adam curls into his arms, leaning against him.

"You were still trying to. This was my choice, remember?"

[always_thirsty]

"And that changes the fact that you're addicted to me?"

[callmefelicia]

"There are worse things to be addicted to." He smiles faintly. "At least I get things out of it. Great sex, for one."

[always_thirsty]

"And for another?"

[callmefelicia]

There's a pause, and the look in Adam's eyes gets more serious. Vaguely hunted, even, though he doesn't move. He doesn't like talking about his past... but that doesn't mean he can't.

"I told you once people called me crazy", he says slowly, looking away. "It... wasn't just people... saying stuff."

[always_thirsty]

Thomas looks at Adam for a moment in return. Then he nods.

"You don't have to tell me. I could see it."

I've seen it before.

"I keep you calm, don't I?"

Like Justine.

[callmefelicia]

"My parents had me medicated", Adam says flatly, after a moment. "For... two or three years. Part of why I left home young. You... it's the same, but without the side effects. That's what you do for me."

And I'll take the risk before I'll go back to anything else.

[always_thirsty]

He nods slowly for a moment.

"On one more condition."

[callmefelicia]

"Name it."

[always_thirsty]

He looks him right in the eye.

"I look like I'm injured, crazy, or out of control in any way, you get the fuck away from me, all right?"

[callmefelicia]

Adam looks right back, considering this.

"More than you were that first time?"
