Adrien looked startled and tensed slightly as he pulled back to look at him. "What?"

"Perhaps I spoke too harshly," Adrian conceded, "but I don't like the idea of you moving about in these sorts of circles."

"One shouldn't be able to say 'he's a pimp' with such glib enthusiasm when talking about a friend, Adrien."

"I don't mean to be enthusiastic," he said wretchedly, "it's just that he is one and he acts like it, or I wouldn't have said it - " And then, trying to let Darling off of the hook, he went on, a bit desperately, "Besides, there are tons of other pimps we know."

He looked at him a little moment longer, appeared thoughtful, and then settled back against him and relaxed into his arms.
After a long moment, he tilted his head back and kissed Adrian below the ear, and then said in something nearly a singsong, "Adri-an, will you tell me a story?"

Adrian looked down at him with a slight furrowing of the brows.

Adrien playfully flicked his nose. Or rather, drew the tip of his index finger down the line of it, as he would never do something so carelessly painful as flick someone's nose.

"Oh," said Adrien, laughing. "I thought you meant my finger."
He sat up more and pushed his fingers through Adrian's pushed-back hair lovingly, eyes on it without apparently noticing anything even as he replied.
"About you."
