Adrian was silent.

Dan didn't stop "You know, I once thought of you as my best friend" he laughed "you know that? Someone, if I ever needed help, I could go to with no questions asked. Someone I trusted? I was so wrong about you Adrian, I was so wrong about you. What you've done to yourself and everyone around you is disgusting, and you know what, I feel sorry for you, even if you don't feel sorry for yourself."
He breathed out "Someone has to."

"I should never have let him into this."

"But you did!" Dan almost screamed "You brought Adrien in to all of it, and instead of being truthful with him, and letting him make his own damn decisions, you lied, you lied."
Dan didn't say anything for a couple seconds, he just bit his lip slightly.
"You lied to him, you son of a bitch."

"What could I have said?" Adrian sighed.

"The truth! All of it, every gory fucking detail. Yes he would have left you, anyone with a brain on their shoulders could tell you that. But he wouldn't be stuck with you! Unable to leave because he still loves you and cares about your reputation. All he wants is a normal life, and you've destroyed that dream for him. You've given the world hope with your choices, and took it away from the one person that mattered most."
Dan ran his hand shakily down his face "You know who he met today? Steve Rogers, Captain America, and Adrien told him what a horrible husband you'd been and he agreed, that's all he knows about you Adrian. That you're a terrible husband."
Dan hadn't intended that to come out, but it had, and there it was.

Adrian sat up in confusion.
"...he's dead-"

"Oh no, no, Steve Rogers has been frozen for almost fifty fucking years in the Arctic, he was found by a government crew just a few months ago and he's in New York."
Dan spat "He's alive and well."

"...the Arctic," Adrian said softly.

"Yes, the arctic!" Dan yelled in to his phone "Sorry that this has come as such a surprise to you, that it's completely derailed this phone call! Steve Rogers is not what I called about Adrian, god."

"Give it a rest, Dan. Everything you have said is already wallpapering my mind."

Dan didn't say anything for a moment.
"It's not enough" and hung up the phone.
