God is my Judge

Also,  the fact you’re so ignorant you don’t see the flaw in your own words right now all proud and tall about the rest of it like you got one over on me, I’ve decided you’re literally too stupid to insult. I’ll feel bad about being mean to the mentally challenged. So, while you ride off on your short bus counting stakes I’m just gonna go have a real life now, ya know, the kind you don’t, even though I’m dead and you’re not. Go figure. 

Sure, sure. Go for the other person's intelligence, make it seem like you're doing them a huge favor by not talking to them. I don't know, buddy. You're talking too much to actually say something that means anything. You've been here for like, what, two weeks and you think you know everything that goes on? 

And yet we’re both still talking shit. Monkey see, monkey do? 

I know all I need to know. I heard about your declaration to kill me. 

Man, all I did was make a joke. Talk about sensitive.

Oh, so you're Letha's little snuggle buddy. There there, pal. Don't be scared. I can make it quick and painless. 

The embrace ended as soon as it started, and Adam watched with a small smile as Daniel plopped down on his couch, as if he’d been there a thousand times before. The Moonshine that had been passed to him was gripped tightly in his hands, more out of fear that he’d drop it than anything else.

"Okay, okay," the Oneiroi raised left hand in the air, his smile widening. "you need to stop apologizing. It’s my fault for not even double-checking. But enough talk about that."

He noticed the movie in Daniel’s hands, and then he cocked his head to the side. He remembered it in conversation, but with everything that’d been going on, he felt embarrassed, almost, to have forgotten it. Adam bit on his bottom lip, swiftly turning away to hide the slight blush on his cheeks. Just as the next words fell from Daniel’s lips, Adam twisted to catch the popcorn packet, a laugh echoing in his home.

Popping the packet in the microwave, he moved from the small kitchenette to his alcohol selection, snatching the Moonshine and pouring some of it into two glasses. He took a sip of the cherry alcohol, made a slight face at the taste, and walked them over to his friend. Taking a seat on the couch, Adam got comfortable before looking over at Daniel, a frown tugging at his usually happy features.

Daniel wasn't an idiot, he could see what was going on before he had left. But that made him feel even worse for having to be that roadblock. "I was dragged on and on....and on, up to the point where I knew what you wanted, Adam. I did. But where she and I were at, I though it was real. And I guess it wasn't. I was the one led on by a big ass lie, and I know that happened to you." He finished his first glass of moonshine, ripping open the bag of popcorn. Daniel took a handful before handing the bag to Adam and refilling his glass, "So, if you have any other information for me, now would be a great time, yeah?" He winked before shoving some popcorn into his mouth, barely focusing on the movie. The hot lesbian scene was the only thing he was looking forward to.

The hunter leaned against Adam, letting out a weary sigh, "You already know 'bout me 'n Charlotte. Adam, man, she was fuckin' leaving. Right after her thing with...Alexander. She was goin' for her own protection. I had to go. I had to. Stayin' here....with just the memory of what had fucking happened? I would've been dead." He felt bad for leaving his best friend behind without a word, including his cousin. Adam was one of the few Daniel would ever dream, excuse the pun, of confiding in. "I drank so damn much. Still do. Charlotte's too good t'me to send me to a fuckin' rehab place." Daniel swallowed down some more moonshine, putting a hand on his head. This was a lot of information he was giving the Mernick, and even though Adam could've looked if he wanted, it made Daniel feel better that the man was letting him talk.
