Peter pulled himself back up into the tree when he saw Adams smile, not wanting to see the reaction to his words. He had assumed his words would have no affect on the other man though, Adam seemed to excel at finding ways to surprise him while being completely preditable. Absently, Peter wondered if he just liked being contrary, though a part of him knew that wasn’t what this was.
Now if only Peter could figure out what this was.
”I might hurt you.” Peter said as he climbed higher. The words weren’t a lie, he didn’t have the skill for it, but they werent a threat either. Just a simple statement. He didn’t want to, but if circumstances changed, then he might not have a choice.
Keeping just above Adam, Peter finally settled near the top of the tree, and stared down at the other man. Why didn’t he want to talk? ”You... you make everything... confusing. It’s... supposed to be... to be easy. And things here... this is the... best I’ve ever had.” Hwre, Peter had a family, had security and safety and maybe something closwnto contentment. It’s still hard work, but it’s some of the easiest hard work he’s had to do.
PETER
They don't know you like I do
The little secrets that you keep
I'm gonna haunt your dreams at night
You'll have to hide those kitchen knives
The little secrets that you keep
I'm gonna haunt your dreams at night
You'll have to hide those kitchen knives
