Dan rolled his fingers along the scars and nodded. He'd felt them before, but scars were part of his life so he hadn't paid much attention.
"What happened?"
He had a similar set of scars across his thigh, but they were from jumping fences for practice when he was young.

Adrian hesitated.
"...my father threw a vase," he said.
And then he burst out laughing.
"It's all right. It really is absurd, isn't it? You can laugh- it's funny in a very theatrical sort of way, if you think about it for long enough-"

"Its horrifying" he laughed, maybe with less enthusiasm, but he laughed.
He held his hand against Adrians head and smiled.

"I mean- I mean, how ludicrous is it, that one man could have been such a caricature of-"
He gestured haplessly, starting to laugh again.
"I've got a smaller one above my right ear. He cuffed me on the side of the head while he had his ring on because I didn't want to shoot a puppy. What kind of a person-"
He stared up at the ceiling and sighed, cutting himself off.
"Excuse me," he said, leaning up on his good arm again. "I was getting a bit self-indulgent there."

"That's okay" Dan smiled miserably at him "don't worry about it."

Adrian cupped the side of Dan's face with his good hand and kissed his forehead with a sudden pang of regret.
"...maybe a break isn't what we need. Maybe we ought to... broaden our horizons, both of us..."
He kissed his mouth now, lips parted and hungry.
"I know I'm not the only one who's ever caught your eye- recently-"
Adrian leaned over him, smiling.
"Here you are, in the prime of your life, frittering it away with an aging cripple," he teased. "Surely you could use the distraction..."

Dan returned the kiss without hesitation, although he might not have been as eager. He touched Adrians stomach gently and leaned back to look at Adrian the best he could.
"Broaden our horizons" he gently rubbed his hand across Adrian's hip "if that's what you want" he whispered, not hiding his smile. Opening the relationship would probably make thi gs easier. Dan had once been a horribly jealous man, but as he aged he began to understand the uselessness that was jealousy. It could work.
He wondered if Regina was still open with her offer.
Leaning forward he nudged Adrians chin up and kissed his neck gently.

"Mm..."
Adrian laughed low in his throat. He tipped his head back, hair falling loosely over the back of his collar.

Dan was gentle with his kisses, a far cry from normal. But he didn't want to scare Adrian off, not now that they were making progress.
He was still angry, still confused and this was probably not the right time for him to be making decisions. But he was making them.
He pressed his lips gently around Adrians earlobe and smiled.
An open relationship, it could work. Maybe, maybe it could fall apart in a blaze of glory, which was more likely. But it could work.

Adrian pulled him closer, breath growing more shallow.
"We can compare notes-"

Dan laughed and raised a hand in to the back of Adrians hair.
For everyone one beautiful person Dan saw to every 10 that Adrian saw; that wasn't jealousy just simple math.
"Sure" he whispered and scraped his teeth from Adrians ear to his Adams apple "absolutely."

"Mm. You'll probably have more success than I, you know. You've more time-"

"Doubtful" Dan breathed against his throat and rubbed the back of Adrians neck "but its a lovely thought."
When left to his own devices Dan spent his time nose deep in a book or looking at birds. He wouldn't even know where to start.

Dan kissed Adrian cutting off his sentence "You're gorgeous and charming, I'm sure it won't be that hard" he smiled and kissed him again "and you don't look a day over 35. I read in a tabloid you replaced yourself with a clone years ago to preserve your youth."
He chuckled and kissed his neck again.
