first chance.

[Adam's on the most breathtaking beach you've ever seen. White sand, cool breeze, crystal clear ocean. He gives a contented sigh and all but drowns in his mojito. It's about high time he had a chance to relax. He would be more than fine with spending the next 400 right here, kicking back under a coconut tree. But there's something missing...

Looking to the side, he sees a beach chair leaned up against his, an almost sad expression crossing his face. He holds up his drink, and a beautiful woman with dark skin comes to take it away, bringing him another one almost instantaneously. Adam doesn't pay her any mind; he seems to be looking for someone.

Is it you?]

[ Holding eye contact for far longer than he means to, Peter keeps searching for something to say and finding that it's too much work to say any of it. When his chest starts to go tight, he knows he has to look somewhere else, before Adam somehow reads into him too much. ]

Trying only goes so far.

I know. There's only so much I could've done. [ He's just about dripping bitterness. ]

Sorry. [ Putting his face in his hands for a moment, he sighs, looking back over once he feels like he's collected himself. ] ... You're welcome.

[ If Peter could give Adam back his perfect dream and make a break for it, he probably would've done it ages ago. Not that he's waking up to anything particularly pleasant. But somehow Adam's apology -- after a few seconds of clenching his jaw to get through the rush of emotions too numerous to recount -- gets to him. He doesn't exactly smile, but his expression softens. ] I believe you.

[ It's one thing to believe him, but it's another thing entirely to take his hand. Peter stares at it for a moment, waiting for his mind to process the information -- all of it, Adam's apology included. But after a moment, he reminds himself that it's not his mind that he needs to accept it, and he finally slips his fingers around Adam's, managing a smile. ] Guess not.

[ Peter sinks all the way back into his beach chair, pretending he actually remembers how to relax. ] And i'm sorry you got the wrong Peter. I'll find a different beach, next time.

[ If Adam was looking for a smile, he just got one. He's trying not to pay too much attention to Adam's fingers against his skin, taking a long drink of his own beer. ] As long as you're sure. But if he shows up, he can have my chair.

Adam, I know how I think. [ It's not weird to talk about himself at all, nope. ] If he shows up, he'll want the chair.

[ Peter just shrugs, working on finishing off his beer. ] I'll take your word for it.

[identity profile] askedtobe.livejournal.com 2011-05-01 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ He knows he has the opportunity to, and almost every reason to pull away, but he doesn't. Instead he just watches, swallowing back the heavy taste of his beer. ] I think he gets the better end of the deal.
