chainshipping week day 2: first meet

"oh, fuck," was the first thing adam thought when he laid eyes on the man across the room from him. "it's that guy."

doctor lawrence gordon. forty-something. blond. married. likes to sleep with women who are twenty years younger than him. not the best, but adam's seen worse. plus, his case is easy money. and free entertainment, too.

lawrence had only been a few simple pictures to him for so long. he lurked in the shadows, snapping shots of moments the doctor probably never thought twice of or didn't worry about. now, the photographs on adam's shitty walls were coming to life, breathing the same thick air he was.

technically, this was their second meet. the first official one that both were aware of, but lawrence met him a long time ago. probably doesn't even remember me. i was just another face in the crowd. that's for the best, though.

adam remembers it surprisingly well�� a sticky july afternoon, hiding in the shade of the alleyway behind the starbucks lawrence had decided to stop by on his lunch break. normally, adam would've followed him in and pretended he was meeting up with someone, but the flash on his camera was going wild, flickering every few seconds. not something you can take inside.

adam tried everything he could think of. the damn thing was nearly dismantled by the time he brought it home, defeated. he's going to kill me. i'm not going to have his photos in time—

"excuse me?" a polite voice cut through his internal rambling. adam looked up, expecting to be met by a barista telling him off for loitering.

but instead, it was him.

lawrence's eyes flickered down to the cigarette resting between adam's lips, a moment of silent judgement, before he fixed his face. "i'm sorry to bother you.. but it's rather hot out here, isn't here?"

"yeah, it is." adam spoke around the cigarette. "sweltering."

"certainly. forgive me if i'm overstepping, but i couldn't help but notice your choice of attire." lawrence gestured to his long sleeve shirt and jeans. laundry needed to be done, and his clothes weren't dry yet, having to be hung out since his damn dryer busted a few weeks ago, and he couldn't afford any repairs.

lawrence held out a bottle of water. fresh and cold, given the clouding and condensation dripping from it. "we wouldn't want you to get heatstroke."

adam furrowed his brows, then grabbed the bottle and set it by his feet. "thanks.."

lawrence smiled again, though it didn't quite reach his eyes. how many times have i captured that exact smile? "no need, i'm a doctor, it's what we do."

don't i know it. adam began to mumble a reply, but was interrupted by a beeping coming from lawrence's waist. he grabbed the pager and checked it, then frowned. "i'm sorry.. i have to leave. have a good rest of your day."

"you too, gordon." came the reply before he could even register it. he was expecting lawrence to whip around and start laying into him, but thankfully, the doctor was gone by the time he finished his farewell.

"close one. you're losing your touch.." adam mumbled to himself, putting his cigarette out, then unscrewing the lid from the bottle and taking a generous sip.

who would've thought we'd meet again?

chainshipping week day 2: first meet <3

To wake up in a bathtub soaked in cold water is a rude awakening. Especially so when you’re chained up. 

The world is cruel. Adam Faulkner-Stanheight did not deserve this. Sure, he’s not the best person. No one is. Maybe he did some shitty stuff but he did not deserve to be locked away; trapped in a room with some stranger! Admittedly, said stranger is incredibly handsome. Adam lets himself take the other in, and he doesn’t think in a million years he could forget those eyes.

Jesus, Adam. Get it together. His ankle and eyes burn, and his head feels like it might explode. Oh god, he really hopes it won’t. Adam wants to scream out for his mom. To burst into tears. He wants his mom to hold him and tell him it’ll all be okay. He wants Jennifer to miraculously find him and run into the room and kiss him and free him.

He yanks on his chain and looks over at the other. His breathing is nervous and labored whilst the blond man keeps his calm and even. He hates it. Envies the other man. He looks put together. Rich. Sexy. …What? 

The man speaks to him and his head is pounding too hard for him to genuinely listen to anything. His brain’s on autopilot “My name is very fucking confused, what’s your name?” Adam snapped.

Jesus, isn’t this guy just peachy? Lawrence hummed. He’s not sure if he’s a teenager or a grown adult. He’s snarky like one, too. The doctor can’t get his mind off of Diana and Alison and he hates it. Do they know he’s gone? Lawrence’s mind barely processes that he’s holding a conversation. 

The man in front of him looks petrified. He feels bad. This is the moment he decides to try his best to keep him alive and well too. Lawrence wants to calm him down, or at least try, until he pulls a tape out of his pocket. A wicked smirk appears on the brunet’s face.

Lawrence fishes around in his pockets and pulls one out too. Listening to the tapes feels mind numbing. He feels out of his body, so much so that when he listens to his own he can’t focus. It’s like he blinked and was playing the tape back. His mind was its own wonder.

He wasn’t totally sure how he could hear such a small detail and be so focused while so distracted.

“Follow your heart.” Lawrence whispered, a twinge of confusion in his voice. What the hell did that mean? Jesus, this is melting his mind. His eyes darted around the room before widening. The other man notices. “What? What is it?” The man, Adam, asks. Lawrences hand points to the toilet.

Fuck.
