adrian forgets something at your place, which requires him and chris to make a little pit stop before eliminating a local butterfly. hilarity ensues as chris realizes not only does adrian have a girlfriend... but his girlfriend is a total smoekshow.

The night ride was lit only by the sickly orange glow of the dash, a random Mötley CrĂŒe track blasting too loud through the cheap car speakers.
Adrian was humming along, head bobbing slightly out of rhythm as his gloved hands rested casually on the steering wheel.
The car glided smoothly down a darkened road, the faint buzz of crickets filtering in from outside.
Chris sat slouched in the passenger seat, half-listening to the music, brows furrowed in suspicion as Adrian made a sudden right turn.
The streetlights shifted, illuminating a neatly trimmed suburban neighborhood with two-story houses, mailboxes standing in straight lines, and American flags draped proudly on porches.
âUh... hey,â Chrisâs voice cut sharply through the music, obnoxiously loud.
He jabbed a finger toward the windshield.
âWhy the fuck are we turning into a goddamn cul-de-sac? Weâre supposed to be going after the fucking target, not taking a scenic fucking tour.â
Adrian just hummed louder, cheerful and unbothered.
âOh, yeah, no, I just gotta grab something real quick," he slowed as they approached a row of identical houses, his voice sing-song and casual. âIt's at my girlfriendâs place, then we can totally go do the whole mission-kill-thing.â
Chris blinked once.
Then twice.
His head turned slowly, eyes narrowing, the weight of what Adrian just said finally crashing down.
ââŠWait, hold the fuck on,â he sat up straighter in his seat, almost whipping around to face him fully. âGirlfriend? What the fuck did you just say?â
Adrian frowned in confusion, still watching the road, âUh⊠that I need to grab something from my girlfriendâs house?â
Chris froze, throwing both hands out like he was halting traffic.
âWhoa, whoa, whoa, back the fuck up. Youââ he jabbed a finger at Adrianâs chest, voice dripping with disbelief. ââhave a girlfriend?â
âUh, yeah?â Adrian answered like it was the most obvious thing in the world. âIâve had a girlfriend for, like, ten years. We live together sometimes. Well, not live-live, but I basically live there anyway. You know, toothbrush in the bathroom, drawer of my own, couple pairs of socks I keep aroundââ
Chris barked out a laugh, sharp and disbelieving, cutting him off.
"Bullshit. You? A girlfriend? No fucking way,â he scoffed, shaking his head like he couldnât believe the audacity. âYouâd have mentioned it, like, a million fucking times.â
âI do mention it,â Adrian protested, eyes widening as his voice pitched up, almost defensive. âI bring her up literally every chance I get. Like, every single time. And the only way you wouldnât know that is ifââ
He gasped dramatically.
ââyou donât listen to me when I talk!â
âYeah, no, I donât. Like, ever,â he shrugged, deadpan. âI tune you out constantly, dude. Itâs like survival instinct at this point.â
Adrianâs shoulders slumped, the hurt in his voice almost childlike, âWho doesnât listen to their best friend?"
"You make it impossible, man. Like ninety percent of what you say is random fucking babble about dumb shit I donât care about,â Chris waved a dismissive hand as the car rolled into a driveway. âGirlfriend, my assââ
The car came to a halt, engine ticking softly as Adrian shifted it into park.
The house was quiet, porch light glowing warmly against the siding.
Adrian unbuckled with his usual pep, popping the door open.
Chris followed him out, still shaking his head, âDo I even know who this imaginary chick is?â
Adrian puffed his chest proudly, slamming the driver-side door shut.
âYeah! Itâs (y/n). From high school,â he grinned, gesturing vaguely with his hands as they started toward the porch. âYâknow, total babe. Cute glasses. Even cuter braces. You remember.â
Chris stopped mid-step, his eyes going comically wide.
A beat later, laughter burst from his chest, loud and obnoxious, echoing across the quiet street.
He bent slightly at the waist, hands on his knees.
âNo fucking way!â he howled, pointing at Adrian. âYouâre dating Mush-Mouth (y/n)? With the trash compactor braces and the crazy fucking stutter? Oh my god, thatâs fucking priceless.â
The laughter died in his throat.
In an instant, Adrian had lunged forward, shoving Chris hard against the siding of the house.
The clap of impact rattled the paneling.
Chrisâs eyes bulged as Adrianâs forearm pressed firm across his chest, the cold muzzle of a pistol shoved up under his chin, aimed at his throat.
Adrianâs voice was no longer sing-song or sweet.
It dropped, low and dark, a rumble of lethal intent.
His brows furrowed, eyes blazing, shadowed in fury.
âChris,â he said flatly, voice like stone. âYouâre my BFF. My ride-or-die. But if you ever call her that againâŠâ his finger twitched on the trigger. ââŠIâll make you a stain on this wall, and I wonât even feel bad about it.â
The air went heavy.
Chris froze, hands instinctively raising in surrender, throat bobbing against the barrel.
His jaw tightened, a rare flicker of unease flashing across his face.
He had never seen Adrian like thisâso serious, so angry.
The goofy sidekick veneer had slipped completely, and what stared back at him was something terrifyingly absolute.
ââŠOkay,â Chris muttered, nodding quickly. âOkay, fuck, fine. I wonât. Jesus.â
For a moment longer, Adrian held him there, gun steady, eyes sharp and unflinching.
Then, just as suddenly, the storm broke.
He stepped back, holstering the weapon with a cheery little flourish.
His body language snapped back into casual pep, his voice bright and chipper as though nothing had happened.
âCool! Glad we cleared that up. Câmon, letâs go inside.â
Adrian skipped the last couple of steps up to the porch, whistling merrily to the tune of the Mötley CrĂŒe song still ringing faintly from the car.
He pressed the doorbell with a happy bounce, shoulders relaxed, a picture of innocence.
Chris stood at the bottom of the steps, rubbing his throat where the muzzle had been, staring up at his friend with wide eyes.
For once in his life... Peacemaker was speechless.
Adrian waited a half-second, then tilted his head, tapping his chin.
âOh, duh,â he muttered, fishing around in one of the many pouches strapped to his utility belt.
After a moment of rifling, he pulled out a shiny key, holding it up triumphantly.
âAlmost forgot I had this!â
Chrisâs eyes narrowed.
Adrian ignored him, slipping the key into the lock with careful precision.
The tumblers clicked, and he swung the door open with a little flourish.
He turned back, beckoning with a cheerful wave.
âCâmon, dude. Donât just stand there looking all constipated. Letâs go!â
Chris lingered on the porch, wary expression plastered across his face as Adrian strolled in like he owned the place, âShe didnât even answer the door, man. Probably means sheâs not here.â
âUh, wrong,â Adrian countered without missing a beat, strolling casually into the living room. âIâve memorized literally every single detail about her. Like, everything. Her schedule, her daily routine, her habits. Honestly, I usually know where sheâs at and what sheâs doing before she even does.â
Chris stopped dead in the doorway, blinking slowly.
ââŠJesus Christ," he muttered under his breath, mentally adding a bullet point to the long list of Reasons Adrian Chase Is a Full-Blown Sociopath.
Note to self: maybe check in on this (y/n) chick every once in a while, just to make sure she wasnât dead in a freezer somewhere.
Before he could spiral too far, a warm voice floated down the stairs.
âAdrian? That you, baby?â
Both menâs heads snapped toward the sound at once.
Light footsteps padded gently against the wood as you descended, towel-damp curls bouncing softly around your shoulders.
Chris braced himself instinctively, shoulders tight, ready for some hideous Ugly-Betty-adjacent apparitionâcoke-bottle glasses, headgear, zit cream, the whole fucking shebang.
But then you came into view.
And his jaw nearly unhinged.
You were a goddamn vision.
Skin dewy and luminous, rich brown glowing under the light.
Dark curls framed your face perfectly, your smile radiant, disarmingly warm.
No glasses, no braces, no acneâjust beautiful.
Wrapped in a short black silk robe that clung to every perfect curve, the hem teasing at plush thighs, neckline plunging just enough to make Chrisâs brain short-circuit.
Hips made to grab.
Breasts that looked criminally good.
You werenât just hot.
You were sex incarnate.
A goddamn smoke show.
Chrisâs brain reeled, appalled at the idea that Adrian fucking Chase got to come home to this every night.
That he got to fuck this.
Regularly.
Meanwhile, you were smiling sweetly as you crossed the room.
âSorry, honey, I was in the shower,â you said, sliding your arms around Adrianâs neck and pulling him into a tight hug, rising to your tippy-toes.
Adrian melted instantly, arms locking tight around your waist as he lifted you off your feet like you weighed nothing.
âMissed you,â he breathed happily, muffled before crashing his mouth against yours in a deep, heated kiss.
Chris stood rooted to the spot, eyes bulging as the hem of your robe slipped higher from the movement, giving him a tantalizing glimpse of the curve of your lower ass cheek.
His heart practically seized.
Heat surged traitorously below his belt.
The words tumbled out before he could stop them.
ââŠMush-Mouth (y/n)?â
You broke from the kiss slightly, blinking in surprise.
Adrian, however, froze like heâd just heard a war crime.
His body stiffened, his head whipping toward Chris.
In a blur, his gun was out again, aimed squarely at Chrisâs face.
âWhat the fuck, dude?!â Adrian barked, his voice spiking with pure fury. âYou promised!â
But before he could pull the trigger, your hand slid calmly to his forearm.
âHun,â your tone was soft but firm, a balm against his fury. âNot necessary.â
Adrian froze mid-motion, chest heaving.
He glanced at you, then at Chris, then back at you again.
Slowly, reluctantly, his shoulders dropped.
With a muttered curse under his breath, he holstered the weapon once more.
His glare shot daggers at Chris, eyes promising that next time, no one would stop him.
Turning back to Chris, you sighed, folding your arms loosely across your chest.
Your voice was cool, even, but not without an edge.
âYeah. That was me,â your lips curved faintly, like you were daring him to comment further. âI grew out of the stutter, as you can see.â
Chris could only stare, dumbstruck, trying and failing to reconcile the goddess in front of him with the memory of braces and awkward frumpiness from high school.
His mind was a full-blown hurricane of disbelief as he gawked, jaw working uselessly like he was trying to form words but couldnât quite get his brain to compute.
âHow the fuckââ he muttered, half to himself, half to the room.
His eyes cut back to Adrian, then to you again.
ââdid you pull this off? Youâre telling me you got this and sheââ
He gestured wildly at your body, robe clinging, skin perfect.
ââturned into that?â
Adrian didnât notice Chrisâs existential crisis at all.
He was too busy nuzzling into your neck, basking in your affection like a golden retriever.
Chris squinted, still trying to connect the dots, âWhat about the crazy braces? And the coke-bottle glasses? Like, where the hell did those go?â
You rolled your eyes, cocking a hip with easy confidence, âThe fun thing about braces, Chris, is that they come off. And contacts exist.â
Before he could retort, Adrian piped up, muffled into your shoulder, âHonestly, sometimes I miss them. They were cute.â
You turned to him, smiling fondly, âNo, baby, they werenât.â
Still, your voice carried warmth.
Chris blinked, still grasping, âSo, wait, like⊠do you have contacts in right now? Or do you need your prescription refilled or some shit?â
Your brow arched sharply, âWhat exactly are you trying to imply?â
His gaze flicked over your body, then darted to Adrian, then back to you, then Adrian againâbefore finally landing squarely on you.
He threw his hands out in exasperation.
âIâm saying youâre gorgeous! Like actually gorgeous. Not in the âsnowflake, youâre-gorgeous-on-the-insideâ bullshit way. Like, actually-fucking-gorgeous.â
Adrian immediately lit up, grinning like a fool as he slung an arm proudly around your waist and tugged you into his side, âRight!? Sheâs the hottest woman in the universe!â
You deadpanned, unimpressed, âI donât take compliments from racists.â
Chris recoiled, âWhat theâfuck off, Iâm not racist!â
Adrian chimed in helpfully, shrugging, âYou do refuse to kill your racist dad, though.â
âThatâs because heâs my dad, not because Iâm, like, some kind of fellow racist,â Chris shot back, offended.
You tilted your head, lips curling with disbelief, âSo youâre telling me your dad is, what, the Grand Dragon of a local faction of Nazis, and you donât resonate with a single one of his beliefs?â
Chris shouted instantly, âNO!â
You scoffed, unconvinced, folding your arms.
âFuck, man!â Chris groaned, throwing his arms in the air. âYou told her I was racist?â
Adrian shrugged innocently, âI only told her your dad was racist.â
âWhatever!â Chris barked, wheeling back toward you. âSeriously, why out of all the fuck-nuts in the world did you pick this one?â
The atmosphere shifted, your irritation softening as you turned your face to Adrian.
A pause hung, tender, as you two locked eyesâyour smile curling gently, lovestruck, his gaze utterly devoted.
âBecause,â you said softly, âthis fuck-nut has always loved me for who I was, not how I looked.â
Your hand brushed his jaw.
âHeâs kind... heâs funny... heâs protective. Heâs been cute since day one, andâŠâ a sly grin tugged your lips. ââŠit doesnât hurt that heâs got mind-blowing dick.â
Adrianâs chest puffed, eyes going glossy with emotion.
âBabeâŠâ his voice cracked as he peppered your cheeks and temple with sweet, fluttering kisses.
Chrisâs brows knit, face twisted in confusion, âWaitâreally?â
You looked at him plainly, shameless, âReally. I havenât used a vibrator in years.â
Adrian beamed with boyish pride, âYeah, man. I'm her vibrator.â
Chris just stared, mouth open, gobsmacked.
Finally, he shook his head, muttering, âJesus ChristâŠâ
You ignored him, turning your attention back to Adrian, âWhat was it you needed, baby?â
âOh, right!â Adrian perked up instantly, snapping his fingers. âI left something in your room.â
And without another word, he darted up the stairs, boots thudding quickly against the wood.
Silence hung between you and Chris.
His eyes stayed locked on you, hungry, predatory, like a lion sizing up a gazelle.
You rolled your eyes.
Another beat.
Thenâ
ââŠSo, you and Vigilante ever⊠experiment?â Chris asked, voice low, sly.
âI donât do threesomes with racists," you cut him off, flatly.
âIâM NOT Aâ!â Chris shouted, veins bulging.
But before he could finish, Adrianâs footsteps thundered back down the stairs.
âAll good!â Adrian announced cheerfully, bounding toward the door. âGot everything. We can go kill the target now.â
Chris shot you a look, brow arched, âYouâre cool with this?â
You shrugged, lips quirking sly, âEverybody has their hobbies. And worst-case scenario, Iâm a criminal defense attorney.â
Adrian puffed up proudly, âSheâs amazing. Sheâs making partner soon!â
You smirked at Chris, tilting your head condescendingly, âItâs a wonder what studying and actually paying attention in class can do for you in the long run.â
Chris blinked, then looked down at himself in quiet defeat.
You escorted them to the door.
As Chris trudged down the walkway toward the Sebring, Adrian lingered on the porch, turning back to you with a soft smile.
âBye, babe,â he murmured.
You cupped his masked face tenderly, âBe careful. Remember, the hospital has me on speed dial.â
âI will,â he promised, melting into your touch.
Then your lips curled into a devilish, seductive smirk.
Your hands slid slowly down his face to his chest, nails teasing through his suit, âAnd if youâre up for it⊠we could have a little fun later tonight.â
His cheeks pinked, but his eyes darkened, smirk tugging, âDonât go to sleep.â
âI wonât,â you breathed.
Then his lips crashed into yours, rough and urgent.
He pinned you firmly against the door, bodies flush, heat sparking instantly.
His hands grasped at your waist, your hips, pulling you closer as your robe slipped higher.
Your fingers fisted into his hair, tugging hard as you whimpered softly into his mouth.
The kiss deepened, hungry, wet, teeth clashing slightly.
He groaned low in his chest, pressing harder, devouring you like he couldnât get enough.
Chris groaned audibly, throwing his hands in the air, âOH MY FUCKING GOD, we have a target to kill!â
Adrian didnât even look back.
He held one finger out behind him, still lip-locked with you, tongues tangling.
Finally, he pulled away with a flourish, leaving you gasping, lips swollen and wet.
With a lovesick smile, you reached up to fix his glasses, straightening them delicately.
He rewarded you with a tender kiss to your forehead before spinning toward the car.
âAlright, man,â he chirped happily as he jogged down the steps. âLetâs go kill some bad guys.â
Chris just glared, grumbling bitterly under his breath as he yanked open the driverâs side door.
Adrian slipped easily into the passenger side, still humming with joy.
The Sebringâs engine roared to life, and with one last bitter glance back at you on the porch, Chris pulled out of the driveway, tires crunching over the pavement as they drove off into the night.
.
.
.
BONUS !!
The Sebring hummed along the cracked two-lane road, headlights slicing through the dark as pine trees blurred by on either side.
Chris had both hands strangling the steering wheel, his jaw tight, eyes set forward.
Every once in a while, his lips twitched like he wanted to say something, but heâd just grumble under his breath instead, the words lost under the hum of the engine.
Adrian, meanwhile, sat in the passenger seat like a kid who just got a gold star on a spelling test.
His mask was in his lap, but that smileâbroad, goofy, almost lovesickânever left his face.
He was still buzzing with the feel of your lips on his, your scent clinging to his suit, your hands dragging down his chest.
His heart was doing little flips.
He looked out the window, then back at Chris, then down at the velvet box in his pocket, and back out the window again.
He couldnât stop.
His whole body felt light.
âSheâs amazing, right?â Adrian finally said, voice breaking the silence.
He turned, smile soft, his whole face lit up.
Chris let out a scoff so sharp it might as well have been a knife.
âSheâs a fuckinâ piece of work,â he grumbled, eyes locked on the road, jaw flexing.
Adrian just kept smiling, undeterred.
He tilted his head, the joy in his tone too genuine to be touched.
There was another beat of silence before Chris blurted, âYou guys really have⊠mind-blowing sex?â
His voice cracked a little at the end, like he couldnât believe he was asking.
âYup,â Adrian said without hesitation, completely casual. âSheâs the best Iâve ever had. Only I've ever had. Being inside her is likeââ he let out a dreamy sigh, âheaven on Earth.â
Chrisâs grip on the wheel slipped for a second, the Sebring swerving half a foot before he jerked it back, âWhat the fuck?â
Adrian leaned back, eyes going distant as if replaying a reel only he could see.
âOne time, we went at it for five hours straight. No stopping. And I swearââ he leaned forward, hand gesturing animatedlyââright before I came, I think I saw another dimension. Like⊠the curtain lifted, you know? Beyond space and time.â
Chrisâs eyes went wide, âJesus Christ.â
Adrian just nodded happily, sinking back into the seat with a sigh.
There was a long silence before Chris coughed into his fist.
âSo⊠are you guys, like, open to experimenting?â
Adrian turned his head, brow furrowing behind his glasses.
He'd heard his so-called BFF proposition you back at the house, but let it slide as you immediately shut it down.
He didn't think the asshole would try again.
âYou ever ask my girlfriend for a threesome again, I will cut your dick off and feed it to you. Okay?â he threatened, voice sharp and cutting.
The smile stayed.
The threat was very real.
Chris stiffened, âJesus, alright! Defensive much? Just asking.â
He shifted uncomfortably, then scrambled for a new subject.
âSo, uh, what the hell did you even need from her place anyway?â
That grin spread across Adrianâs face again as he reached into his utility belt.
He fished out a small black velvet box and held it up with a flourish.
Chrisâs eyes locked on it, his shoulders dropping, âNo fucking way..."
âYes way!â Adrian beamed, flipping the lid open to reveal a diamond that looked like it belonged in a music video.
The thing sparkled like it had its own light source.
âYou like it? Been saving since freshman year.â
Chrisâs jaw went slack.
âNo fucking way!â he repeated, louder this time.
âUh-huh!â Adrian chirped, holding the box up proudly.
âWait, wait, waitââ Chris pointed at him like he was calling bullshit. âYouâre telling me⊠you come home every night to a smokinâ-hot, sexy-as-fuck lawyer babe who actually likes you, who bangs your brains out on the regular, and you havenât wifed her up yet?"
He scoffs.
"Dude, high school was thirteen years ago!â
Adrian winced, groaning as he slumped back in his seat, âI know, okay? I know. I wanted to marry her right after graduation, but her parents wouldâve freaked out. And I needed a ring. Like⊠a real ring.â
Chris narrowed his eyes, âHow long have you had that thing?â
Adrianâs voice was sheepish, almost boyish.
â...Eight years.â
Chris slammed his hand against the steering wheel, âEIGHT FUCKING YEARS?!â
Adrian groaned again, clutching his head, âIâm waiting for the right moment!â
âThere is no right moment, dipshit!â Chris shouted, face red. âDo it soon before somebody else swoops in and steals her!â
Adrian tilted his head, genuinely confused.
Then he chuckled.
âWhat, like you?â
Chris looked wounded, âItâs entirely possible!â
Adrian shook his head firmly, âAbsolutely not. She hates your guts.â
Chris gasped, clutching his chest.
âWait... really?â
âUh, yeah,â Adrian said, like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Chris sat there, lips pressed in a pout, but before he could argue, the Sebring rolled to a slow stop.
Adrian perked up, box still in hand.
âWeâre here!â he announced brightly, popping open the passenger door and stepping out with a bounce in his step.
He shut the door behind him, practically humming with joy.
Chris stayed in the car for a second, glaring down at the wheel.
âUn-fucking-believable,â he muttered before finally shoving his own door open.
