now playing : mrs magic (strings version) — strawberry guy
• i don’t even have to say it, but i will; friends to lovers is the way to go about this one. we saw how he was with teela, the relationship makes the connection that much more meaningful!
• you work in the building next door but grab some coffee at this local spot that adam just so happens to frequent. his crush on you starts there.
• i don't think he believes in love at first sight but he hasn't given another woman the time of day ever since he first laid his hazel—though, slightly golden eyes—on you. he's extremely loyal.
• adam's a daydreamer, confirmed. he stays in his head and is forcefully dragged down from the clouds, but he always ends up floating back up.
• he's also shy!!! adam may be afraid to put himself out there but he's done it before so why not do it again, right? WRONG. it's somehow different with you. he's ready to walk up to you everyday but chickens out at the last moment and turns around on his heels with some lame ahh excuse in mind.
• with that in mind, i do think that it would take quite some time (read: a few months at best) for adam to man up and finally say something to you and when he finally does, it's a little awkward.
“okay, adam. you can do this, just go for it.” he mumbles to himself. he makes his way to you—albeit slowly—with sweaty palms, weak knees, and a nervous heart. adam goes to clear his throat gingerly but it comes out loud and abrupt, startling you a bit.
god i’m such a fucking dumbass. “i’m so sorry! i didn’t mean to startle you.”
you shake your head lightly, caution taking over your body. “you're fine, gave me a scare but it’s alright.”
the beautiful man in front of you musters up a smile. “do you mind if i sit down?”
• the conversation at the coffee shop goes by surprisingly smooth. he may be shy and have introvert tendencies, but the awkwardness is all part of his charm. i mean, he did manage to bag you, so.
“are you from here?” he asks, knowing full well he's gonna have to answer that question when you ask.
“i didn't think i'd end up here, actually.” you chuckle and adam holds his breath, as if he'll be able to hear it more.
he watches your pretty lips move and thinks about lying, but decides against it because there could be a sliver of a chance that you don't pretend to take a phone call or just flat-out walk out without an explanation.
“what about you?”
and there it is.
adam takes a deep breath, giving himself (and you) a few seconds before narrating the story of his origin.
• he waits for you to laugh, walk away, do anything— but you don't. you don't mock him or call him a liar. you just nod with slightly squinted eyes and ask if he's at least found a lead on the sword. adam decides right then and there that you are the one.
• you don't think the guy's crazy or lying, what's not to believe these days? apparently the government's known about aliens since the 1950's (possibly even earlier than that), the elitists run the world, and everyone's taxes fund genocidal wars. you'll take your chances on this man—well, technically an alien—claiming to be a prince from another world.
• you know enough about men to know that adam is different. he's not performative, doesn't try too hard, is himself. whenever he opens his mouth to speak, you can expect no lies will come tumbling out. it's weird, this beautiful man who is your type to a T has entered your life in the way you've always wanted. not through social media or the internet, but through normal conversation without any ulterior motives, and you haven't encountered any red flags yet. granted, it's only been a month but whenever you talk to him, it fells like you're talking to someone that isn't from here. his heart is so big, you never imagined a man to have half of his courage and a quarter of his emotional intelligence. he's a dork but in the best way and isn't ashamed of who he is. he's a dream that you don't want to wake up from.
• you're afraid to have spoken too soon as adam may have gotten your number, but it surprisingly doesn't sway him away from his mission. sure, he replies to your texts, but you can feel him being distracted through the screen. he'll respond later than usual, it makes you forget what you texted him in the first place. sometimes, you won't get a response at all but you'll see that he read your texts. just a week ago, he’s left you on delivered more than you expected, claiming that he’s busy looking for the sword. you don’t want to be a distraction but can’t he try a little, here?
• you start to fear that he may have joined the rest of the members of his gender when you hear screams of horror around you. amidst the chaos, you catch sight of the boy and the girl accompanying him.
“adam?”
of course, adam doesn't pick up on your barely hidden body language and goes straight to introducing you to her as if he hasn't had a decent conversation with you all week.
“y/n! hi… um, teela, this is y/n. y/n, this is my childhood best friend, teela.”
the girl, now known as teela, smiles at you. “hi.” she then turns back to adam and urges him to get moving onto her ship.
“i'm sorry, your ship?” you sputter.
adam holds your shoulders, looking into your eyes as he says, “i promise, i will explain everything when i come back.”.
your train of thought is cut when you feel the ground shake under you. you lose your balance a bit and ignore registering one of adam's hand wrapped around your bicep while the other one holds your opposite shoulder. you ignore registering it because you just can't believe what you're seeing.
“come on.” adam breathes, getting you both on teela's ship.
• seeing a mirage of colors as you exit earth isn't what you expected to see when entering the vast unknown that is space, but it's lovely. it's kind of quiet with the soft, low humming of teela's ship. you almost forget what led you to this moment. almost.
adam suddenly remembers that you're here too and practically jumps out of his seat and is on his knees in front of you. “i am so, so incredibly sorry you got dragged into this.” his eyebrows stitch together in worry and his eyes, god damn those eyes, are just so big and round and—holy shit, you are one weak woman.
“i promise to protect you and bring you back safe. you have my word.”
you had no idea what you were getting yourself into but the way adam said those words made you want to put all your trust and faith in him, and something told you that you wouldn't come to regret it.
• fast forwarding a little bit, you witness adam take on his “true form” to defeat the talking, hooded skull with a jacked asf body and wonder if you're all collectively on some sort of psychedelic trip together. anyway, long story cut short, you're taken back to earth and wonder what this all means for you and him.
you both linger on the steps leading up to your door, neither ready to let this go.
“so... am i gonna see you again?” you tuck some hair behind your ear, looking down at the ground.
adam crosses his arms, leaning up against your door. “i'd like to.” he says, a shy smile on his lips.
“when do you think you'll be back?” you don't care to hide your curiosity anymore. the two of you may not have told one another how you feel towards each other, but it doesn't need to be said. it's an unspoken thing.
he shrugs. “i don’t know. skeletor’s damage will take time to fix.”
you nod, slightly disappointed with having to go back to a life without him for a little while, however long that may be.
adam senses it and leans forward, head coming down into your space. “i won't be gone for too long, promise.” he's feeling brave when your eyes meet his and he dips down to capture your lips in a long-awaited kiss.
it's everything you hoped and more, so much more. it's soft, warm, and leaves you feeling breathless when his gentle hands hold your waist close.
“you better come back or i'll come up there.”
a soft snort exits his mouth, nodding as he says, “that wouldn’t be so bad.” and kisses you one more time.
• adam is a man of his word. you trust him enough to know he won't peddle back on what was said. his promises to you are sacred and he takes them very seriously, so to him, failure to comply means he should be publicly executed. his words are law and breaking them is an offense punishable by death. swearing to you and making promises—even saying the words i promise is a 100% guarantee that he will go through with whatever followed after. he knows how much you value actions over words so when he backs up his words with the action(s), you have to take a moment to calm yourself from jumping his bones.
• i can see him as the type to have themed date nights planned, and he never tells. it's always a surprise but you know it's gonna be fun so you don't eat his brain too much. he likes to keep fancy restaurant night, game night, and movie night in rotation because it's both of your favorites.
• i know i said adam is a daydreamer and is in his mind a lot, but now that he's found his sword and himself, it's effortless for him to remember / keep an eye on details and things. your birthday and y'all's anniversary date are the easiest things to him because those two days bring him so much joy, it's crazy. your likes and dislikes come easy too, almost like second nature. he knows what it's like to be ignored and dismissed, and what he feels for you is something he's never felt before so he puts in a little extra time and effort to maintain this new version of himself.
• i can see adam keeping a little sketchbook and drawing you in those small pages when his mind simply drifts to you. it's so romantic because he adds these details you've never seen on yourself. it shows just how much attention he pays to you and it warms your heart so much that the tears just flow on their own and adam's thinking the drawings are horrible and he's scrambling to comfort you but you just kiss him silly to show that you're actually touched from his declarations of love and he's so relieved but also like well, of course i love you and then you're tearing up again.
• his love languages are words of affirmation (obvi!) and physical touch. however, quality time is a close runner up because once adam has gotten a taste of doing couple activities like watching a movie, going on a walk, being in each others presence doing different things, etc. he loves the feeling of your skin, the shape of your body. it’s comforting to him. and whenever you’re feeling sad or doubtful, he knows just how to bring you back down.
• adam is a feminist, but he’ll have these ideas from time to time; like taking your last name instead of having you take his. it makes you wonder if he’s actually real. i’d do a hyphenated last name. that way i keep mine but also have yours. he legit almost teared up.
• he teaches you basic self-defense and practices with you! you’ve always wanted to learn anyway so, win-win—your boyfriend gets to teach you something and looks hot doing it!
• you both workout / hit the gym together and if you aren't someone who's into fitness / working out then he tries to get you into it.
• sings in the shower. gets into character and uses something as the mic and tries his best to sing in tone and pitch. lets the singer handle it if the note becomes too high or long. he sings in the shower more than before now that he’s in love. que fantasy by mariah carey.
• the type to always want back scratches when getting ready to sleep. he’ll genuinely turn on his back and fake pout until you start again but will understand if your hand/arm hurts. head scratches are nice, too! he loves those when he’s laying on your chest or lap.
• he’s a nerd and doesn’t take offense when called one. he thinks it’s cool to be a nerd. if asked, he will nerd-out about anything near and dear to him. games, comics, movies, music, etc. #YouNeedToNerdOut
• adam is dead serious about his hair. nobody but his parents can touch it, though you're a lovely exception. this is a major sign of trust and you understand the responsibility.
• he knows how much you adore his body, so he channels that into being big and strong for you! so he can take some of the load off of your shoulders for him to bear. isn’t that so incredibly romantic?! like, he’ll train his mind and body to be sharp in combat but also to carry you when you’re tired, to keep a calm mind when you’re upset, and to have his heart warm you when the world seems so cold. half of why you feel so safe with him is because of how muscular and broad he is. once he finds that out, he’s riding that high forever, nothing will bring him down. you love the feeling of being in his arms, just hugging him—like nothing’s gonna hurt you. adam will also make it a point to flex whenever he can and tries to act all nonchalant while doing it. what a dork (lovingly).
• never has to worry about not being masculine enough / never has to feel insecure because you’re so head over heels, that he’s sure you’d still like him if he wore a bag over his head. besides, you’re always saying how manly he is for choosing kindness and consideration over violence and self-righteousness. #BeKindBitches
• you ask him say the words just so you can see him in that miniskirt and chest plate sometimes. he folds under zero pressure but not before getting all shy about it. in his head he’s like you wanna see me? little old me?
• gets shy when he finds you staring at him. eye-contact isn’t his strongest suit when he’s thinking about it, but when he isn’t? 👀👀👀😝😝😝🌚🌚🌚
• he knows that you find him extremely attractive (your exact words being: you’re the most attractive man in the universe) and sometimes doesn’t know how to act. he can’t be normal and be like thank you, i really appreciate it ☺️ but that’s okay! you love this awkwardly charming himbo. but when he gets all hot and bothered by you, that’s when it’s your turn to get all shy and bashful. he doesn’t do it often, but he’ll get these moments of confidence where he’s staring into your eyes and moving with calculated intensity.
• despite his appearance and the century, he’s an old-fashioned lover. brings you flowers on your dates, opens doors for you, takes out your seat for you and pushes it in / waits for you to get situated before sitting down. adam loves holding your heels when your feet hurt and carrying you the rest of the way, or giving you his shoes for comfort. he loves taking off his jacket to drape it over you when you’re cold, he lives for the times you go shopping together bc he gets to hold your bags (but not all of them bc then he won’t get to hold your hand, and he loves holding your hand). adam will brush some hair away so he can see your pretty face without any distractions, he’ll play video games with you when you’re bored at 2 am, he’ll watch scary movies even if he’s afraid and let out high-pitched screams because you wanted to watch them.
• he's into you just as much as you're into him. adam takes everyday as an interview to be your husband. if he does something you don't like or vice-versa, y'all talk it out. communication is key and he's learned that lesson a while ago. he learns something new about you all the time and knows it'll be this way for as long as you'll have him, but that's what makes this so exciting! you're not a finished product, there's still so much you have to see and try and hear, and adam considers himself lucky because he gets to be there with you. sometimes, you fill his heart up so much that he can't help but hug you and kiss you and stare at you all lovey-dovey.
• speaking of kisses, y'all know what time it is!!! adam is a soft kisser. he's gentle, tender, and considerate. you feel everything he pours into you and it literally gives you goosebumps. you feel cherished when he kisses you, like you're the only girl in the world he'll ever kiss (and you are!). then come the desperate, passionate kisses fueled by longing. you love it when he gets that way because otherwise, he's a man who can control himself. he's shy in nature and that won't change, but it's set aside for something deeper. something heavier. he won't kiss you like a man starved unless something spooked him or if y'all have just been making out for so damn long that the fire in your hearts are spreading wild. those kisses make you feel like you're being worshipped (and you are!). adam turns into a very needy and desperate man so quick, it's attractive as fuck. eyes all glassy, lips a pretty pink-ish red, face all flustered. hands all over you, tiny little sparks of electricity spouting from his fingertips. your mind genuinely goes for a spin every time y'all kiss, believe that.
• he loves it when you slightly tug on his hair, but only slightly because he's tender-headed. likes it when you’re sarcastic/sassy-mean. he knows you don’t mean it but that side of you is so playful and fun to him, he acts dumb on purpose to see it sometimes. he's also into you bossing him around / telling him what to do because who run the world? GIRLS 💜
• listens and sings along to 80's-early 2000's love songs allll the time. you noticed him listening to ariana grande's positions album (his top 5 (not in order) are six-thirty, obvious, pov, the interlude, and my hair. that last one really speaks to him) and found out that he has a playlist with songs that remind him of you. he listens to that playlist all the time, it's become his favorite thing. he's really proud of it and his pride continues to grow when he thinks about you going through the songs and smiling behind the phone.
• once eternia is all cleaned up, adam considers moving there. of course, this prompts a serious discussion as your life is here and all adam’s ever wanted since being sent here was to go back. he wants you to go with him but knows that won’t be entirely possible so you both find a way to compromise.
• takes you to eternia to see his birthplace.
you don’t treat the journey as a trip, rather an intimate experience as your the first (and hopefully last) person adam will take.
it’s his home, a place he’s been homesick for years. you don't know what that's like, the loneliness he's felt all those years. so you try your best to be as respectful and friendly as possible. adam notices and realizes that there’s no one else he’d rather have as an honorary guest (and soon to be princess!).
you’re simultaneously excited and nervous to see his mother. you want to hug her and talk her ear off about what a wonderful son she’s raised, but you also worry about her not liking you and not being good enough.
adam doesn’t take any of that and is reassuring the whole time. holding your hand, squeezing it to remind you that he’s here every step of the way.
it doesn’t take long for you to be accepted by everyone with open arms, minds, and hearts. the talking green tiger was first though. he knew from first glance.
the queen welcomed you so warmly that you forgot what you were even nervous about. she had so many questions about you, curious in a way that showed she truly does care about you and what he means to you.
needless to say, you do not have to worry about having a monster-in-law.
• adam glenn feels like a dream come true. he’s everything you can ever want plus more. you are very lucky, but he’ll disagree because he deems himself the lucky one.
