Adam nodded hesitantly when Alec reminded him that he was being paid. But he hadn't actually seen that money yet, so he wasn't going to trust to it. "I'll ask Izzy for help--unless you think it's a situation like her cooking. I could use her help with fashion." He wanted to impress and to push the edges, but he didn't have any idea how to start with upping his wardrobe.

When Alec returned, Adam nodded, lightly patting the bed at his side. "Near me. I'm not intimidated by the size of you." He smiled, very shyly flirtatious. He was increasingly certain that they were both interested in each other, and though it all felt very fragile, it was cozy and soothing.
