"I don't own any compact discs," said Adrien with a little smile. He moved past him wordlessly and put on a track.
It crackled, then a bit of lightweight, old-fashioned music - a full band - started, and Josephine Baker warbled prettily, "I don't know why I made you cry, I'm sorry, sweetheart, again..."
Adrien switched on a delicate lamp he'd bought, African porcupine quills making up the shade, and drifted back to the couch near Adrian again.

"I don't like it very much," he said honestly. "But I... yes, it's all right by me."

"Besides... there hasn't been too much."

He went silent, and then he just settled back and relaxed in Adrian's arms.
"Vous faites," crooned Josephine, "partie de moi...vous êtes tout mon bonheur..."
Adrien picked this up, and turned his head swiftly to Adrian, rested his head back on his shoulder, shut his eyes, and gently sang to hm, "vous êtes tout au fond de mon cœur...Comme un doux secret, comme une indicible joie, vous faites partie de moi."

"I'll keep you safe, I promise," he murmured into Adrien's hair.

He turned his head and kissed Adrian nearly chastely upon the mouth.
