ADAM
Adam could tell from the way Peter fiddled, nibbled, worried that he'd gotten through somehow. Though that didn't come out in Peter's words, the man once again insisting that this was just how things went. A statement so bizarre Adam couldn't help the way he moved back with a quirk of his eyebrows and a shake of his head.
When Peter began to speak of his thoughts upon entering Caido, something that as far as Adam could tell had nothing to do with any of this, he nearly gave up hope. But he stayed listening, fingers stroking his gun impatiently.
After a long, quiet pause, he shook his head again. "You're worth more than that. Anyone is, but...but especially you-- look--I..." Adam let out a frustrated sigh. "I like you, Peter. You get me? I think you're decent, and worth a hell of a lot more than these losers who are trying to use you." When he actually said the words, he found inside himself more emotion than he knew he had.
Maybe there was a better way to communicate this.
Slowly, Adam moved forward and pulled Peter by the jaw into a simple, soft kiss.

good evening, misadventure.
farewell morality.
it's time for another risky venture,
into the depths of depravity.
