She shrugged.
"Look, if you are... I think it's kind of sweet."

He didn't respond. He stared instead.

Adrien could hardly stop himself. "No, I'm not her assistant! I'm his whore, he freaking pays me - "

He nodded frantically and hugged her again. There was a possibility that he was crying, but with his face pressed against her shoulder it was hard to tell.

"Jesus fuck. Adrian Veidt hires rentboys..."
She tightened her arms around him and leaned her chin against his shoulder.
"I had a feeling about the gay, but not this."

The words struck him very suddenly and he felt nearly nauseous, pulling away from her sharply and almost trying to get up, merely stumbling back.
"Oh God."
He looked panicked, and yes, there were tears on his face.

"Look, no, it's not- I mean- I mean, Christ, you're just a kid- I mean, what are you, seventeen?"
She practically rolled herself onto her knees to look at him better.
"It's not a you thing- I like you!"

He shook his head, or tried, but seemed too distracted to carry through the motion.
"Oh God. OhGodyoucan'tknowthat. I mean. I. Oh God. I shouldn't have told you."

"You can't - "
It struck him suddenly how Adrian would react to know he'd told Megan. A stranger, just like this, on the floor in freaking Karnak, and he suddenly looked like he was about to sob.

"It's mostly just... surprise, I guess. I mean, you're just a kid, right? God, I'm sorry you had to- unless you wanted to-"
She froze up, fully aware of her rambling.
"You're not the first one I've met, so it's not that. I wouldn't've guessed, looking at you."

He kind of shuffled closer and turned his head so that he could cry on her again, though this time appearing to be trying - and failing - not to touch her in the process, as though after he'd pulled back she'd push him away now.
"And - and - and I love him - "
