Prompt 43 2.b "Beside You" lyrics
Trust in me, trust in me.
Don't pull away
Trust in me, trust in me.
I'm just trying to keep this together
Two o’clock in the morning and Peter was wide awake. He sat out on the roof with a cool breeze brushing against his half-naked body. He woke up around midnight and for the first twenty minutes stayed in bed listening for Adam’s steady breathing. Only there was no noise from the immortal, and when Peter turned over he saw an empty space beside him.
He wondered how many nights Adam slipped out of bed without Peter noticing. Apparently this night Adam completely left the house. So Peter got out too, needing the fresh air. He heard some movement and pulled out of his thoughts in time to see Adam climbing up on the roof next to him.
“There you are,” the immortal said. “I’ve been looking for you.”
“I’ve been here,” Peter answered with a shrug. “Where’ve you been?” That probably came out nastier than he meant. “Sorry,” he apologized. “I just meant… I woke up and you weren’t there, and I couldn’t help wondering how many times you’ve done that.”
“I don’t want to wake you,” Adam responded.
“So you just leave.” Peter’s eyes dropped and he played with the ring Adam gave him. “You still keep me at a distance,” he accused quietly, “and I don’t understand why.”
“Old habits are hard to break,” Adam told him simply. “I’ve lost everyone I’ve ever loved, and… it worries me how much I love you.”
“Don’t you trust me?” Peter asked. Adam turned his gaze silently on the empath, and Peter leaned forward to capture the immortal’s lips in a kiss. “I’m trying, Adam,” Peter murmured once the kiss broke. “I would do anything for you.”
“I know,” Adam assured him. His fingers reached out to brush through Peter’s hair. The empath leaned into the touch. Their lips found each other again and they spent a few moments exploring each other’s mouths.
“I’m staying, Adam,” Peter whispered. “You’ve got me for the rest of my life.”
“I trust you,” Adam responded. Peter smiled, nipping the older man’s bottom lip affectionately.
“Are you coming back to bed?”
“Yes,” Adam answered. “I am.” That made Peter smile even wider. He took Adam by the hand, guiding him down from the roof and back into their bedroom.
