You and Adam have been dating for about 6 months now. It’s the longest relationship Adam has been in since Eve, and that was over 300,000 years ago.

Adam had gotten comfortable enough to take his mask off in front of you, but he kept his cloak on around you. He was still self conscious about his pudgy physique, afraid you wouldn’t find him attractive. For such a narcissistic man, he really had low self esteem from not looking as good as he did in the Garden.

You were spending the night at his house, and you were asleep in his bed. He had gotten up, playing video games out in the living room while you slept. He took his cloak off, since you were asleep, just relaxing in his boxers. You had never woken up in the middle of the night before, so he wasn’t worried.

He got up, going to grab himself a midnight snack. He grabbed a beer, still looking around in the fridge.

He heard the bedroom door open and his heart sank. You were up, and you were gonna see him in his boxers. He immediately tensed up and froze, something he never did. This was genuine fear. He finally let himself be loved again, he couldn’t lose it over this.
