- fibers, watching the crowd gyrate around him to the dropping bass and electric skreel that hypnotized them like lusty puppets. It was -

- like a dream, however, when a brief flash of a smiling face caught his attention. A boy, all heavy-lidded eyes and pouty lips and -

- dismissible. His throat suddenly went dry at the implication of it. He was sure he wasn't looking for anything that night, so why was -

- he suddenly pushing down the urge to do the exact opposite? With just one all but passing look, too. He took a sip of his whiskey, -

- caught. Adam was a man of few fancies. But, just once, maybe he could say never say never.

[It took a few moments of surprise before the message telegraphed through his brain. True, he wasn't expecting company, - @BlindedByFame

- not this good looking much less this young, but the upturn of that smile and the cockiness that comes easily with it may - @BlindedByFame

- be a little too hard to ignore. He sets his glass down and twists his upper body to face @BlindedByFame, the corners of his own lips -

- sloping up into a smirk of its own.] That obvious, huh? [Even in the pulsing light, Adam can see the glimmer in @BlindedByFame's eyes, -

- and it spells nothing short of dangerous, and he warns himself not to get too close. But, really - and his own brain - @BlindedByFame

- seems to advocate this, the traitor: in history, has there ever been a defense that proved to be impenetrable? Even Troy - @BlindedByFame

- fell because of a beautiful face.] @BlindedByFame
