and we’ll love again
and we’ll laugh again
Adam was right. They’re not words Pet says out loud, but he nods along, his lips pulled in a tight line. It had been a lifetime, literally, but it felt like no time had passed at all. Like they’d simply fallen asleep for the night, and woken up in new bodies, in a new time. As long as they were together though, Pet would accept just about anything. And this time, he’d do things better, this time, he’d live for himself, for Adam.
It is Pet’s turn to hum, his sound more thoughtful, and muffled by the teeth that worry at his lip, sharp fangs making the familiar tick look a touch more dangerous. ”Doesn’t... coming back to life, it’s... it’s worth something though.” Even if only a favour, even if only some weird shit. It feels like he’s lost track of his point though, if he’d ever had one in the first place, and he isn’t sure how to continue, except to purse his lips.
The tilt of Adams head as he looks down is Pet’s cue to let his hand drop, falling to his lap as he looks up and tries to figure out the best way to make his point gently. ”Its easy though. For me. I can, I don’t want you to... to have to do the same.” There’s concern in his voice, fingers clenching in Adam’s shirt for a moment before releasing. He doesn’t think of it the same way Adam does, doesn’t think of anything more than sparing the other man the heartache of blood on his hands.
Silence stretches on, far longer than Pet would have thought, a confused worry in his gaze when he looks up, the expression only growing more extreme when he sees it mirrored in Adam’s face. He leans into the hand that rises to his cheek, lets it ground him in a way no one else has ever tried to, and he listens. Really listens. Picks apart every word, every meaning, until an alarming shine enters Adams eyes.
Disaster almost strikes, Pet reaching up slowly while Adam leans down to kiss him, but they manage to avoid it. Fingers more scar than skin brush away the tears gently, then linger on Adams cheeks, just touching. ”I missed you.” The words are so soft they’re barely there at all, Pet shifting his head to try and press their lips together in a kiss.
