Adrian looked at him, very solemnly, before abruptly grabbing and embracing him again.

"There's no reason to thank me," he said, not stiffly, but almost cautiously. "You couldn't have done it... so there is nothing to forgive."

"...if that's how you wish to see it, then... then I'm grateful. Truly."
He put one hand against Adrien's damp cheek and looked at him for a long while. It was like looking at a new Adrien altogether.

"Sometimes lies are good," he said gently, swallowing. "I couldn't have handled that - before - before -"
(He wasn't sure he could handle it now, but what was done was done - )

"...you would have been right."
He pressed his hand.

"What?"

"I believe in your judgment," he said solemnly, perfectly serious, trying to impart his meaning, his perfect trust. "Whatever you would have done... I believe it would have been the necessary thing."
