"I know," he said gently. "I know. I wish I hadn't made you part of this..."

Kneeling down Dan placed both on his hands on Adrians knees and looked him in the eyes "But I am" he looked over at the bag he'd tried to pack, but quickly returned his gaze. "And I have to learn to not let myself get out of hand just like you have to learn that I occasionally do. Were not the same people we were and it's unfortunate because if we could see us now-" he stopped and leaned his head in to Adrians chest. Now was not the time for that.
He hated that Adrian always admitted when he was wrong, it made it hard to stay mad.

"Dan, please get up- honestly, I don't know where these new habits if yours came from-"

Dan laughed, he honestly laughed.
"Ridiculous" he put both his hands on Adrians thighs and pushed himself up in to a push up position. He was actually putting very little pressure on him, as big as Dan was "That's what you always call me right? Ridiculous?"
He had to admit he missed the whirlwind romance they had when it all first started and Adrian had brought up a very good point. Dan had learned to distract himself but Adrian needed Dan like it was to distract him.

"I call it as I see it," Adrian retorted, taking a moment to smooth Dan's hair back in place. He had a few thin spots Adrian had declined to mention recently- not bald, certainly, but rather thin- and it seemed tactful to just put them in order again.

On the upswing on one of his push ups he kissed Adrian gently on the underside of his chin.
He wasn't finished with this conversation, but it would probably be easier to talk about when he didn't feel so wound up.
"I'm not ridiculous."

"You're doing pushups on my legs, Dan," Adrian laughed. "Get up here."

Dan put one of his hands on the bed next to Adrian and followed with the other hand. Crawling forward a little and kissing Adrians jaw again "You didn't say where."

"I've got an idea," said Adrian, "but I worry about your reaction..."

Dan looked up from his plank position, steeling himself for anything.
"Lay it on me."

"What if we went back to... acting as though we're stealing occasional nights in private. Being less..."
He searched for the word.
"...official."

Dan flopped over beside Adrian. He wasn't suprised by it honestly "You want to start over, in a way" Dan nodded at the ceiling and pursed his lips. He was disappointed and still very hurt, but something told him that this was better "Okay."
They had made plans, a house, a baby- "and the baby?" The fear in his voice was evident. He wanted to be part of its life, he'd been looking forward to it honestly.

Adrian leaned back on one elbow and sighed.
"Oh, trust me. I'll need all the help I can get with that project."

Dan smiled.
None of this made anything that happened earlier any easier and he felt even more alone but there was something comforting in knowing that Adrian wasn't just ready to throw him away just yet.
"Okay" he looked to his side, his glasses of course became lopsided with the turn. He thought about the last time he'd actually slept at his own house and almost laughed.

"You actually have the capacity for love that it will require, " Adrian said, sighing. "I don't know the first thing about babies."
