[ ] Denotes telepathy.

Adam Newman was pissed. Not the Australian "I've had too many Fosters' kind of pissed. No, this was the American 'I want to pop a cap in your ass' kind of pissed. But then that was fitting since his anger was directed at one Megabyte Damon who happened to be very American despite having spent his teen years living in London. Megabyte was his friend, his boyfriend, and if Adam didn't die from frustration or sexual tension first, his future lover.

He slammed his still empty mug down on the counter, needing to vent some of the anger and hurt he was feeling. All he'd wanted to do was share something of himself. Let Megabyte know that he trusted him and that he wanted the relationship to evolve. To move from dating into something more long term and committed. Every time he even hinted at it Megabyte freaked. This time though he'd withdrawn not only mentally but physically too. Pushing Adam away as he'd done so.

Adam stared out into the main room of his dorm, his eyes roaming over the shelves of texts and reference books. Maybe somewhere in all that mess he had an Aussie to American dictionary. Here he was working on his master's degree in linguistics and yet he seemed incapable of communicating clearly with the one person he loved most in the world. The irony would have been amusing if it wasn't so fucking frustrating.

Everything he said seemed to get lost in the translation from his lips to Megabyte's brain. He said trust and Megabyte heard dependence. He said intimacy and Megabyte heard raise your shields. He said I love you and Megabyte heard the robot from that stupid cheesy old show he use to watch screaming 'danger Will Robinson danger. Abort mission.'

It seemed like he was always walking on glass. Wondering and waiting when the next thing would set him off, waiting for the big one that would send Megabyte running. He'd run from Jade. Changing continents to do it. Adam wasn't sure how much longer he could go on like this. Never knowing where he stood. It just hurt too much.

Adam's mind went back to that night he'd told Megabyte how he felt. That he was in love with him. Megabyte had told him then that he thought Adam was hot as hell but he didn't know about love. At the time mutual desire and a willingness to see what happened was enough, but now he wanted more. There was a part of him that kept wondering if he was going to end up like Jade, wishing for but never hearing those three words.

"I'm sorry. Okay. I wanted this. Really wanted this but obviously that's not fucking enough. Damn it. Just fuck it all to hell." He screamed out loud, needing to vent some of the pressure building up inside. Tears welled up, falling unnoticed as he slid down the wall to settle, head in hands, on the floor.
