another night you wish you could forget
making yourself up as you go along
As Pet moved to get closer to him Adam willingly took him in, wrapping his arms and legs tight around the other man, making a sort of cocoon of blankets and limbs to protect him as he summoned up memories of his violent past. Adam half felt he might need it himself, anyway - he'd learnt recently that a part of the whole love thing was feeling a horribly burning anger in your chest when you found out about past sins committed against your love. Nothing you could do but wish you were back there helping.
With only little 'mhm' sounds to show he was listening, Adam stayed mostly silent, nodding every so often. He could guess well enough what 'bad things' were - he'd lived in many seedy towns, known of many such deals. They were disgusting, but they happened, and he felt more of an angry sense of wrongness than any kind of shock.
"Rock Salt...lemme guess, he gave himself that name? Exactly the kind of dumb edgy shit someone who likes themselves too much would use." The one thing he could say for himself was that he'd at least never run around with an over polished nickname. Hopefully his little observation would make Pet laugh, even if just for a second, before he continued, Adam gesturing for him to go on.
