he has me on speed dial

To be clear, I like the interpretation that he’s very aware and comfortable with his sexuality, but I just personally resonate with the idea that he doesn’t know a lot more. 

It’s clear that he’s quite repressed, especially with the way he responds to the health complications after the explosion. He refuses to acknowledge that he’s still not the same strength he was before the accident, and I think this probably comes from his inability to feel weak. 

He was bullied for conceivably all of his childhood until Adam showed up, and then after he left, it probably started right back up again. He probably developed this deep-seated fear of being perceived as weak, and I assume those bullies saw his queerness before him, so after leaving school, he probably felt a need to repress everything that he felt made him weak. 

Leute, wir scheinen echt ein Adam Cameo zu bekommen! 😱

Alpakas

"Jungs, könnt ihr euch bitte zusammenreißen jetzt?”

Esther blickte ihre zwei Kollegen streng an.

“Pia hat einiges durchgemacht, wir machen das für sie.”

Pia stand einige Meter entfernt, hatte bereits eins der flauschigen Tiere am Halfter und streichelte meditativ den Hals des Alpakas.

“Ich glaube, meins mag mich nicht.” Adam schielte kritisch zur Seite, den bunten Führstrick am äußersten Ende zwischen spitzen Fingern gepackt.

Ebenso kritisch schaute ihn sein Wanderpartner für den Tag an, mürrisch die letzten Grashalme kauend.

Leo neben ihm lachte.
