Relationships seemed more complicated than Alec thought. He knew that they took work and that the type that he was interested in wouldn't be easy since Nephilim society hated change. But he didn't think there would be so many rules or something that had seemed as simple as a kiss would be so confusing.
Maybe he was just overthinking the situation like Izzy always complained about.
Pushing aside his worries about planning kisses, Alec stood when Adam did, scanning the area before letting Adam lead him toward a building that he didn't recognize. "I thought you said you weren't going to class..." Maybe Adam had changed his mind since a few days ago college had been more important than being safe. Looking around the building, it didn't look like the same type of classes were held here than in the others they'd attended.
As they went up the stairs, Alec tried to ignore the wariness that crept through him. He should feel safer somewhere that wasn't part of their usual routine but he disliked being somewhere new when he was obviously distracted. The feeling eased slightly when they stepped into a small room that Alec doubted many beings knew about. It was strange, not fitting the efficient design of the rest of the college. Looking up at the high windows, it reminded him of the Institute in some ways.
Slowly his attention shifted from the room and its contents to Adam. He began to smile when he noticed Adam's blush and how close they were standing. He almost asked for permission, but he reminded himself that Adam wouldn't have found a quiet, out of the way room if he wasn't ready. That didn't stop the nervousness that caught in his chest or the fear that somehow Adam would be disappointed. Last time he hadn't had time to think. Not really. Now...
Before he could talk himself out of it, he closed the small distance between them to press his lips to Adam's, hoping that he hadn't just made a fool of himself.
