The way Peter's warm breath washed over Adam's bare skin drew his eyes to close. The apology was genuine, as expected. Everything about the empath was authentic, in fact, and it was strangely awe-inspiring for Adam to witness. Such people came into his life perhaps once a decade, and he was wise enough to know they were rare gems... to be cherished.
❝ Thank you, but no worries, ❞ he began as his hand lifted Peter's, bringing it to his chest and entwining their fingers, ❝ Bob puts on a damn good dog and pony show. I'd wager he had Elle there as well, using her to convince you with chaotic yet innocent devotion. One can't blame you for falling for such a ruse. ❞ That said, he gave his hand a reassuring squeeze.
It was Peter's following words that had Adam mentally grinning like a Cheshire cat that ate a canary. Voice calm with an air of curiosity, he turned his head to ask, ❝ Are you certain you're ready for such commitment...? We undoubtedly make quite the team, you and I; they won't stand a chance, especially after you unlock the full potential of your abilities. ❞
Potential — Peter held an unlimited amount. And Adam could hardly wait to help him discover it... help to sculpt him for his true purpose at the immortal's side.
