Only I will say who I see and when I feel like seeing them.
[It hurts a little to hear. He is really unsurprised. He knows how much they cared for one another but it is a bit strange to hear she is still with him.
But in a way he is also thankful to know it. Even if it is strange, but he doesn't linger on it. He can't.]
Of course I do. Why would I not? I told you, I have never spoken a word about my angel. To anyone. Ever. No one knows I was her dove. What reason would I have to consider you a liar?
As you should be. Never assume yourself to be privy to my desires.
Most people don't have the same understanding of the unknown as I do. I have seen things people can not fathom. [A pause.] Though I would be a liar if I said seeing spirits was not a new one. But people with abilities is not something new to me.
[When the other asks if he was mad there is another pause. The simple answer is yes. But only because Adam feels exposed and he never lets himself be as such.
But something about the other man makes him feel at ease with him knowing, because there is something more than just the enjoyment of good sex between them. As Iggy said earlier. He reaches out again to the other pulling him close for a hug. It's a quiet, simple, act of companionship.]
[Iggy stays silent. It seems prudent - he's still not entirely sure Adam's not going to kick his ass. When he is reached for he freezes, but the second he's pulled into a hug he relaxes completely.
Iggy's arms come up to wrap around Adam's body, holding him as tight as he can.]
I'm so sorry. I wasn't trying to pry, honest to God I wasn't. But I couldn't ignore her.
I don't know anything else, I promise. I'm not psychic or anything like that.
[Another tight squeeze.]
Thank you for not being angry with me. I know it's upsetting.
[He'll be spared, for today. He's not much in the mood, especially if Angelica is near. She always had a way of calming him down, he was better with her.]
She would never be ignored, she was the daughter of this affluent logger in the Great Lakes. She marched right up to me at this party and told me I was coming to her house for dinner. It wasn't a question, or really an offer. It was a statement.
[He is upset, that much is truth, but it is here. There is no taking it back now.]
I like her. She wouldn't take any shit, that's pretty obvious.
[Iggy relaxes his grip a little.]
Yeah. Usually I'm not startled by them so badly, but she was staring at you so hard.
...thank God you weren't fucking me, that would have been really awkward.
Uhm. Adam? Do you want me to pretend that I didn't notice that she obviously died a long time ago? Like. A really long time. Because I can do that for you.
She never did, she said what was on her mind and took everything as it came. Including seeing me fuck. If you say she comes around, then I doubt it's the first time she's seen me have another. [After all it's been over a century and a half.]
We were very much in love, for years. Nothing about that has changed, clearly. But she was never a fool, and I have never stopped taking lovers. [Just maybe not ever in the same way.
But that 'ages' is clear and when Iggy points it out he knows he should lie. If Iggy thinks that Adam should fear the fact he can see ghosts, then he's somewhat unsure how he will feel about Adams true self.
He has driven people to absolute madness with that knowledge. So he mulls it over and finally settles on letting the other choose.]
What do you wish to do with that knowledge. I shall be honest with you, if you so choose. You deserve as much.
Yeah, but she knows you can't see her. She could just peek in and be like, okay, I'll come back later. Different than making direct eye contact with the rentboy your one true love is plowing.
[Iggy doesn't hesitate. Some of his impeccable customer care has worn a little thin, so he sounds almost irritated.]
She must of known you could convey. She was always different like that. She was not, gifted, but she was keen to it I believe.
[That's fair, Adam doesn't need him to pretend anymore. They have come way beyond that in this evening so he nods.]
When I met Angelica, I was already close to a century and a half old. I told her that, and she told me that she loved me.
She told me that every single day for 62 years. She died in my arms, and it's been a century and a half since. [Longer than that, but that's truly just semantics. He wanted honest, so Adam is.]
You find out I am centuries old and that is your take away? That I might be a chore to watch Bridgerton with.
[In a weird way, he is okay with that. It has been so very long since he has shared that with anyone and even longer since someone has been so, accepting.
Of course it would be a bit of a contradiction if he wasn't all things considered.]
[Not that he thinks he will but Adam has to say it.]
Not a word will be ever uttered about this again, however. I will not lie to you. But I will not speak so freely about it again. At least in terms so personal. Perhaps that yes, I do get rather fussy about accuracies. Especially Eastern in nature.
[And he gets one in return. And earnest smile. Something that is rare across Adam's face.
But this moment is brilliant and he is incredibly glad that he didn't frighten the other away, or vise versa. Be may have to warn the other if dead people are a thing that he can see Adam has seen a considerable amount of death. Not just wives.]
It'll be fun, I'll look forward to it.
[[ooc; fuck no! Can’t escape me! I am so excited to do a sort of crazy storyline with Adam. Seriously I like never get to play him.
I want to do a sort of oh people know he’s his whore thing next so bad. Like a proper show off. Maybe the dinner thing if you wanted?? I am at Queen/Adam Lambert right now! So I could probably slap something up after cause I will be too riled up to sleep!
Especially since I have a kickass view of Boston atm and I never sleep anyway lately.]]

She might. It's not her fault. She just likes seeing you.
You believe me?

Am I going to keep seeing you after this or is the allure destroyed? I really was looking forward to our reservation at Per Se.

As was I.
Which is why I would like to keep seeing you.

Yes. Unless she wants to speak to you.

When the other insists he considers fighting, but this is not a battle he thinks he has a dog in.]
Let's hope it doesn't come up.

I should go.
[He peels himself away with a sigh, but he manages an actual smile.[
We'll do Per Se this weekend. It'll be nice.
[Softly, a kiss to Adam's cheek before he gets up to get changed and fetch his things.]
