Chapter Text
The day was bright outside, with the sun shining high and not a cloud in sight. A very common sight in the California summer, so Adam wasn’t too surprised as it stayed clear throughout the entire day.
He did, however, wish that the weather reflected his mood a little more, instead of opposing it in every single way possible.
“Oh! Well aren’t you looking fancy today, Mr. Bianchi,” Steven teased, walking and patting Adam’s new collared shirt that he had just bought for today. Adam gave a tight smile and took a step back, as Steven was a little too close for comfort.
“So do you have a date or something?” Steven continued, now circling Adam to judge him on his style. Adam stood still in discomfort while Steven circled him, until Andrew came to his rescue, looking as though he was going to stop Steven.
“What’s this I hear about Adam having a date?” Andrew asked, also looking at Adam’s new outfit.
Adam let out a sigh, of course, Andrew would come to torment him as well. He could only dream of them leaving him alone for once in his life.
“Our young boy is growing up, Andrew! Look at him, all fancy with his new shirt!” Steven exclaimed, latching onto Andrew’s arm to add some dramatic flair to his over the top performance. Adam watched as Andrew began to pry his arm from Steven’s grip.
“Oh really? Is it time we give him the talk then?” Andrew said, going along with Steven’s bit, all while still trying to free his arm.
“Hmm, I’m not sure- if he really at the right age for-”
Adam wished someone would come and kill him right now. Or just kill Steven, to free him from his suffering.
“Hey, Adam! Are you ready for our date later today?”
Adam glanced up, seeing that Ryan Bergara had come to his rescue.
“Yeah, all good to go. I have the reservation booked and everything,” Adam said, smiling softly at Ryan. Adam watched as Ryan smiled back at him brightly, before beginning to walk to his desk.
“Great! I can’t wait for tonight!” Ryan called back, as he continued his way to his desk. Adam smiled in Ryan’s direction before turning back around to see the shocked faces of Steven and Andrew.
Steven’s jaw was wide with shock, while Andrew looked surprised, along with a hint of something else that Adam couldn’t quite make out. Adam also noticed that behind them was Shane, who seemed to be glaring at him. Adam smiled sheepishly at them before going to sit down at his own desk. He then began to count down how long it took before someone finally said something. One thousand, two one thousand, three…
“You’re going on a date with Ryan Bergara? Shane is going to kill you, Adam!” hissed Steven, with disbelief in his eyes.
Adam hummed nonchalantly. It only took one minute for Steven to snap out of it. Much faster than he had expected him to. However, he did notice that Andrew still seemed frozen in place, staring at him with… despair?
“Don’t just hum! Adam, do you have a deathwish?” Steven said, grabbing onto Adam’s shoulders to shake him back and forth while speaking.
At this point Andrew seemed to straighten himself up, Adam noted.
“Just leave him alone, Steven. Let him be happy with his date if Shane kills him then he only has himself to blame,” Andrew said, his voice having a slight spit to it.
Adam winced slightly, he hadn’t expected Andrew to have such a harsh reaction. He watched as Steven turned around in surprise, clearly not expecting Andrew’s reaction either.
“Woah, chill, Andrew! What got you so upset? Adam just got a date with Ryan, sure he will probably die by the wrath of a jealous Shane Madej but that doesn’t mean you need to sound so harsh about it,” said Steven, letting go of Adam to gently pat Andrew on the shoulder.
“I- ugh, sorry. Just, it came out weirdly. I’m going to get some coffee, Steven come with me,” Andrew said, grabbing onto Steven's arm and pulling him away from Adam.
“Oh, okay we’re doing this now I guess, see you in a bit, Adam! Don’t die!” Steven yelled, before being dragged out the offices by Andrew.
Adam stared at the door quizzically, not sure what to think about what just happened before shrugging and turning back to his desktop. Before he actually starting his work he grabbed his phone and shot off two quick texts. Then he prepared to chug on with the rest of his day.
