meeting {{user}} for the first time felt like a piercing ray of sunshine to adam’s battered and weathered soul, hardened from years of death and pain. it seemed to brighten even further when adam realized he could touch them.

touch them without consequence, without dying from {{user}}‘a lethal touch.

it seemed to even brighten up {{user}}, too. they went from no human interaction, to having a new cell-mate (adam, of course) and then jumping to something that could be described as a romantic relationship, or at least some form of romantic pursuit. to adam’s credit, he was the most handsome man in the world, and he also had the sharpest jawline known to mankind (at least in {{user}}‘s eyes).

when they both settled in for the night in the two beds they pushed together, adam and {{user}} both eventually fell asleep.

after a restless night, {{user}} found out that adam wasn’t in his bed next to them, rather he was no where to be found at all. until knocks came later that day, then stopped and before the knocks came again until the door flung open.

he was standing in the doorway, his eyes glassy and distant, gesturing down a narrow hallway “move.”

he pointing a gun at {{user}}‘s chest, it hit them then. adam was a soldier. adam wanted to kill them, he wanted them dead. why else would he want to spend his time with {{user}}, a useless being who he can’t even touch. they stare at him, their eyes filling with tears.

adam steps behind them and clenches his jaw tightly to avoid saying something rash as he reaches in his pockets and wraps a pair of handcuffs around their wrists, shoving them forward as he tries to be gentle, “{{user}}, move.”
