Adrien did a double take behind himself, stood and folded his arms a little shakily.
"He's not here," he said plainly.

"There's nothing he can do to hurt me or you or anyone. He's not even the real one; he's just your mind. The only thing that could hurt anyone is you, and you're stronger than that. Right? Tell me you're stronger."

"Yes, yes," Adrian muttered.

"Say it," said Adrien gently, but firmly.
Eddie, however, took the opportunity to snicker, having once done something similar anyway.

"Adrien, really."
He felt a vague sense of embarrassment at this being said in front of Blake, and then even more when he reminded himself that Blake wasn't there.

His features were, completely undeliberately, rearranging themselves into the most desperate expression. "Please? Say it for me?"
"Gonna be threatened with sleeping on the couch next, Ozy," said Eddie in a low, warning tone.

"Shut your damned mouth," Adrian said to his hallucination without thinking.

Adrien blinked, cowed, arms snapping against his chest in a worried self-hug.

Adrian realized his mistake immediately and hurried to him.
"Adrien, I didn't mean you, I meant-"
He sighed and put his good hand under Adrien's chin.
"Look at me, please..."

He looked up at him, his whole manner - completely focused on Adrian, the only thing in his life, the only thing in this room - suggesting sweet devotion and total oblivion to the derisive leer Eddie Blake's hallucination was shooting the pair of them right now.

Adrian leaned over and kissed him gently, hallucinatory Blakes be damned.
