3 hours. 3 hours since Shiro came to bed, 3 hours since they kissed good night and the light went out, 3 hours since he started counting down the seconds with the clock on the nightstand watching it tick over to midnight and the day Shiro would leave him. was heading to space. He shuffled again and pressed his fingers to his eyes until they burned...

The house smelled like Marigolds. 

The lamp clicked on and revealed what a mess their bedroom had become; flowers, (forgottenly uncancelled by Shiro) a stack of citations (Adam’s fault, he had failed to remember their last inspection), and Shiro’s few cases of luggage packed by the door and barely flying under their weight limit. The only thing that was semi-organized was the stack of RSVP cards he had finished signing a week before Shiro’s mission was finalized and setting him halfway to Pluto on their would be Wedding Day. Adam planned on just tipping them into a dumpster on his way home from the launch. 

❛ Did you remember to call the venue ? ❜ It was petty and small and he was 80% sure it was his job to call the venue but whatever. Their life was nothing but these small and petty moments of him lashing out, Shiro placating, and then desperately refreshing their email for wedding or launch updates. Why shouldn’t their last night together go the same ?

❛ maybe we don't have a choice. ❜ ( ADAM & SHIRO ) | @skyguarded

"Did we ever ? " Adam's voice was soft and he kept his back to Shiro so he couldn't see his face. He hated the space in between missions and news when they were stuck in red tape purgatory. He slid his glasses off and rubbed the curve of his cheek bone to his nose and relieving none of the pressure.

" Maybe the only choice we have is cancelling again. I can make some calls while you try to hear something. My mother might know something if she isn't playing hard to get as everyone else when it comes to this goddamn mission. "

@skyguarded liked for a starter

There was nothing more Adam could do. He had not a hair out of place, everything packed and repacked five times over (And weighed), and his mother's approval of his uniform. His placement day was supposed to be the greatest the world had seen of Garrison seeing him tied for the rest of his education to someone who would push him to be a better student.

What he never wanted was Shirogane.

The nameplate on the board remained "Wurren & Shirogane" as much as he tried to rub his eyes free of whatever delusion he was under. Maybe there was a leak in the vents again ? Maybe he was having a particularly awful nightmare ? Any reason is better than this reality where he has to room with him for the next four years.

There was the shuffle of luggage behind him and Adam braced himself, slapping on the smile his mother taught him for his future of running the Academy. Turning, he held his hand out— " While we have not seen eye to eye during our educational journey let me be the first to introduce myself properly as your roommate. May we push each other to excellence. "

.just some rambling thoughts about him, his character, and how i write him (Canon Adam is dead) 

Adam is the only child of two high ranking members of Garrison with his mother working on the actual board and his father a teacher at the school itself. He had only a few memories of his dad, mostly stories on the roof about the sky above them, before his passing when he was around 8-9 years old. His relationship with his mother became more distant while he threw himself into school and she worked with her choice to go by her maiden name offering him some cover of his connections. Rumors still spread but he wanted it said that any achievement he made as a student would be his because of his own success and his alone. 

And achieve he did. He prospered as a young pilot and spent any second not in a simulation studying and pushing himself harder to be better. To be perfect. To say he had a five year plan is wrong; he had a 50 year plan that he stuck to pretty religiously until Shiro showed up offering some competition for the top spots he thought he was a shoe in for. 

They traded spots on the boards, in grades, and in competition and soon staff made it no secret they were putting them against each other seeing it as healthy competition for the two of them. Their “random” pairing of a room together their freshman year made it official. Adam divided the room in two and made an oath he would never speak to him. A week later they were on the roof and he was repeating his father’s stories to someone for the first time in his life. 

He loved Shiro but god is he bad at it. He grew up analytics first and that extends to his love life with frankness and going at odds with the grey area such relationships held. By junior year he told Shiro what ring he wanted and when he was proposed to after graduation, he was wearing the exact outfit from his inspiration board after laying heavy hints on how romantic the upcoming meteor shower would be. 

Maybe that is why things would always go wrong. 

The project fell in Shiro’s lap soon after graduation and he was fine moving the wedding date back. He had accepted a comfortable job as a teacher to everyone’s shock. Growing up from the boy who wanted to impress his family, he realized he had little interest in flying outside of races in the desert, Shiro was more than enough space in his life. But such positions meant grunt work and they settled into routine as Shiro started training for his first flight. Except that first flight kept getting ruined. 

It was like a game where they would have a date just to have it ripped from them only weeks before. Wedding dates were written up, cancelled, put on hold, and any floating suggestion of elopement ended in screaming matches. He wanted his wedding, he wanted his husband, he wanted this fucking mission to happen already. They floated ideals of nepotism as Sam having his son on the mission enough raised eyebrows and Shiro being the best friend of said son did not help. They even tried Adam’s mother but that was battered down just as quickly. When they finally got the final date they spent the night before it surrounded by flowers for the 5th cancelled wedding. 

The term break up is a strong term for it. They both thought they had time, they both wore rings to the launch, and he kissed him goodbye on the platform telling him to be safe. Sure, breakfast was distant and tense but they had time...right? When Adam was told about Shiro it was a leak from his mother since she knew they wouldn’t give him the mercy to mourn in private. His students gave him a card, his work a complimentary two days off, and Garrison a smaller apartment as he demoted to single living. 

But life continues even when you wish it wouldn’t.

"You called."| ( ADAM & SHIRO ) | @skyguarded​​

They didn’t tell them anything which was nothing new but still as infuriating as the last two years had been. The students were being given an unofficial vacation while they mourned their schoolmates and families and Adam tried to distract himself with the odd drop ins from alumni seeking someone as a rock in the madness of after. He had little to give them but he tried. Tried as silence filled the gaps and emails went unanswered and a cold voice wondered if it was happening again. 

Except.

The guard was an old friend twice removed who went pale enough at his stories to let him in clearance be damned. He was just one in the many tired and shambling survivors in the hospital the line between visitor and patient still blurred as they shook through the tremors of what they just went through. There was no name on the plate so he knew he had the right place when he let himself inside. And there he was. Takashi Shirogane pale in sheets and yet still awake. Thumb rolling over a call button glowing soft blue in the dark and making deeper hollows in his cheeks. 

A sigh; Pause; False start; Don’t fuck it up /

“ I forgive you for the flowers. “

Adam looking up with a grunt, a half chewed pen between his lips and definitely ink across his cheek an hour into grading. “ Huh ? “

Say  you’ll  share  with  me ,  one  love ,  one  lifetime . | ( SHIRO & ADAM ) | @madefate​

“ Oh my god. Get off the ground— " The world was dazzling and the sky full; he felt like he was floating as he, against his own orders, fell to his knees to kiss him. He couldn’t believe it, couldn’t stop shaking as he nodded flaying his ring hand towards him. “ Yes, yes— I’ll marry you ! ” He had a feeling as they climbed up to their usual spot on the roof but being in it was nothing like he imagined. He was going to fall off the roof at this rate so he clung harder to him, curled tighter against his chest letting him anchor him down for once. 

He could be the one with his head in the stars...

❛ if we do this we can’t go back.  i’m not sure if i’m ready for that. ❜ ( Adam & Shiro ) | @skyguarded​

❛ I'm not staying at Garrison. ❜ Blunt. He had spent enough nights curled up debating on it and avoiding his mother’s constant requests to meet. ❛ Not after everything they did. Not after you, my students, and the what they hid. ❜ There was no right option except there was and he was never fair in his requests. Never bent or gave up which is why Shiro went to space while he taught theoretical space travel. ❛ I have a lease and I have a contract for one more semester. I sign one, leave the other, but I’m not leaving you. ❜

did  you  think  that  i  had  left  you  for  good ? ( ADAM & SHIRO ) @skyguarded​

The console beeped and soft splashes of orange and red danced over Adam’s skin. “ You died on a moon years away, and I buried you. “ It is soft. A fact no matter how you look at it. “ I moved on. " His hands came up but he stopped the motion before they could wrap around himself. He did not deserve that. Not this soon. ” And lets not pretend you were anywhere close to me even before you left. " It wasn’t fair and Adam could not look at him. Could not betray himself and the pride he had managed to scrape together in his absence.
