Almost in your Arms

ADAM

Seal my heart and break my pride

"...The...book one." Adam repeated, blinking and going through his mental directory of nerds: eventually he thought he knew who Pet meant vaguely, but really it didn't matter. What did matter was that Pet was here, he was safe and they could try again - they could be them again.

His hand went up to the one on his jaw and he stroked over Pet's knuckles. "I missed you too. So uh, you know that we're out of a fucking house now, right?" Unfortunately, as much as Adam would have liked to stand there and make moon eyes at Pet all night, they were currently homeless. "We gotta find somewhere to stay. I've been spending some nights at the Halenani, but...I don't think you'd like it."

Glancing to the door - it was cloudy outside, dim enough they could walk through if they were quick - Adam held Pet's hand. "C'mon, I wanna talk to you privately. There's a shady spot on the beach by here."

I've nowhere to stand and now nowhere to hide
