Drabble: Jesse Lacey/Adam Lazarra (namesmush ideas, anyone?)
miserablefaith told me sad news about the face of Bo and made me the queen. In return for this she asked for 100+ words of "jesselacey goodies", then broke me in this comment thread about Adam Lazarra's adventures through time. So:
It was John's fault. Well, in a clearer, more accurate sense it was Adam's, or rather whichever mad scientist had - or would, or something - run him over that night on the highway (and who would have guessed that there were multiple mad scientists residing in Long Island in the fall of 2003?), but it was John who'd found Adam, Jon who'd introduced them, John who hadn't sensed that vast trauma was imminent and therefore hadn't stopped Adam from looking at Jesse, bug-eyed, and saying things like: "This is your house?" and "That's your mom?" and "Please tell me you're not the eldest" and "Fucking shit."
And he could have forgiven that - really, he could, he was practically blind to John's innumerable failings at this point - were it not for the fact that John had spent the previous three weeks saying things like "You should fuck Adam" and sounding really fucking persuasive about it.
Actually, he would probably have forgiven that, too. What's harder to get over is that fact that John hasn't stopped laughing yet, and Jesse's already punched him. In the face. Twice.
It's going to be a long night.
