dog coded adam. waiting waiting waiting. waiting for lawrence to come back, to get him, to tell him he can go. doing johns bidding after the trap because he has to but ultimately it’s lawrence who’s holding the leash. snapping and snarling at anyone who looks at either of them wrong. all bark. that’s what people think. what they say. but adam remembers the feeling of bone crunching beneath porcelain and the warmth of blood on his face, he remembers watching the life drain from zepp’s eyes as he slammed the lid down again and again. lawrence remembers how adam had to be stopped. how he had to stop adam with a hand around his wrist, a hand cupping his jaw, to bring him back down to earth. they both know his bite is just as bad. when pushed. and they both know that it’s lawrence who has him wrapped tight around his fist. mark staring disdainfully as adam shows his teeth. keep your bitch on a leash, gordon. hackles raised when someone down the street starts hurling insults at them, these two men walking so close they’re practically one, only to be subdued with a few words from lawrence. sometimes even just a look. down boy. good boy. tell him he did good, tell him he’s good. adam listening to lawrence’s voice in his ear. wrapped around him from behind as he guides the scalpel down, hand covering adam’s, to cut through tissue. muscle. good boy, adam. a shudder as they watch blood bubble to the surface. tilting his head and baring his neck for lawrence to press a kiss to vulnerable skin. trusting. always trusting. lawrence’s hand cupping his jaw once more, pressing a thumb against adam’s teeth, feeling the restraint and knowing adam won’t bite down. pressing hard enough that adam tastes copper and laps it up with heavy eyes. loyal. like a dog. loyal to a fault.
it's the way, "despite himself, lawrence's stern, even tone has the effect of settling adam a little," it's the way adam hid that photo from lawrence, worried it would destabilize him, it's the way adam needs lawrence to be calm because he's struggling to suppress his own panic, it's the way lawrence feels secure when he's in control and the only thing he can do is talk to adam, calm him down. it's the codependency. it's the way adam needs lawrence to be okay, the way lawrence needs adam to be okay, so they themselves can be okay. it's the way adam admits, "i need you to get us out of here, i need you." it's the way, even after being shot, even after lawrence had told him he has to die so he can save his family and tried to kill him with that bullet, that adam still manages to muster his strength; the way he attacks zep to protect lawrence, to protect himself, bludgeoning him with the lid of the cistern with a raging vengeance that isn't just his own, but lawrence's too. it's the way lawrence has to stop him. it's the way adam begs him to stay, the way he asks, "are we going to be okay?" and the way adam needs so desperately for them both to escape from this hell together.
Me: The Kenobi series comes out in a month.
The well intentioned fool I roped into this conversation: Oh? That’s cool. Are you excited?
Me: Loads. He’s my favorite character in the franchise and basically all of fiction. I’ve been waiting for this show for a decade.
Them: That’s exciting for you! It makes sense to be excited. Is there anyway you’re looking forward to?
Me: Emotional devastation mostly.
Them: But with a happy ending I’m sure.
Me: Nope.
Them: But don’t you want nice things for your favorite character?
Me: Nah...I hope he’s absolutely traumatized in the series. More trauma than anyone can be expected to endure. Infinite sadness...you get it.
Them: No. I don’t think I do. I don’t think anyone does...to be clear this is your favorite character?
Me: Oh absolutely. Number 1 comfort character actually.
Them:

Them: ...would you like me to call someone?
