Adrian barked out a little laugh at the 'sluts' comment and while sure, it applied to some of his co-workers - others not so much. Or hell, maybe it did and he was just being ageist. "I promise I'll always call you if I need you, so you better pick up." He hoped Kane would do the same, that if he got into trouble, Adrian would be the first person he called. "Even if I just need you for some relief," he added, not wanting to go down a path too dark with this conversation. "Like when those sluts I work with aren't satisfying me." It felt ridiculous to say and he tittered again, grinning down at Kane. "I'd probably not be very productive if we worked together."
“Fuckin’ amateurs,” he huffed with a dismissive sound, grinning back up at that handsome face. All jokes aside, Kane had no doubts that there were queer men and straight women at that hospital who were crushing on Adrian, even if he wasn’t aware of it. It didn’t feel threatening to know that other people wanted to bang his sorta-boyfriend, it made him kind of proud in an idiotic way. Adrian was hot, Kane was hot if you squinted right, they were hot together. “I’ll always pick up for you, so don’t worry,” he added in a murmur. “Anytime you need a break from all that good productive citizen bullshit, you just lemme know.” Kane gave him another lazy grin and pushed himself up on one elbow, reaching to pull Adrian down into a kiss.
It was probably the height of optimism to think they could get through a movie without kissing and touching each other, even when sex wasn't on the table, but Adrian was glad for it, happy to kiss Kane back and stroke his face some more. How could he not be when he was so stupidly in love with this man that it hurt sometimes? Kane's comment amused him and it was weird to think he'd actually ended up hooking up with a Bad Boy, something he'd never thought would interest him, but then again Kane was showing there was a lot more going on under the surface than his bad hunter persona suggested. "I love you," he murmured against his lips. "And I'll need a lot of breaks so get ready for all those phone calls."
There was no movie that would keep Kane’s attention more than Adrian’s lips did, and he enjoyed the way the kissing made everything else hazy and distant for those few moments. If he could have preserved this moment somehow, he would have trapped it in a jar to hold close on those inevitable nights that Adrian wouldn’t be right there with him. The desire felt a little pathetic, as someone who had been on his own for so long, but in a weirdly good kind of way because it came from being in love. He could feel that Adrian wanted him just as much and it made him positively giddy sometimes. Maybe it was okay to be giddy and pathetic when it was mutual. “I love you back,” he whispered with a soft smile. “My phone stays charged, I got you, boo.”
