Chapter Text
Nigel may have been losing his touch. When Adam had awkwardly— more awkwardly than usual with his eyes hardly ever grazing in Nigel’s direction but still managed to be refreshingly straight forward— asked Nigel to go to the roof with him that night, Nigel had thought Adam had finally recognized all of his flirtations.
Nigel had showered, brushed his teeth, grabbed a few condoms and some packs of lube and shoved them into his pocket. He wasn’t prepared to call this a date, but Adam had seemed so intent on Nigel going up to the roof with him. He was prepared for a night with Adam on his back and Nigel making the sweet space between Adam’s thighs his new home. Adam knocked on his door. He had a large blanket folded neatly over his shoulder and a large black case by his feet.
Nigel nodded his head at the case. “What’s this?”
“It’s a Celestron Nextstar SE Series telescope,” Adam said. His eyes flitting between the case and Nigel’s chest.
“For?”
“To see the meteor shower,” Adam shifted. “I asked you this morning if you wanted to come with me to the roof and you said 'yes'. There’s a meteor shower in half an hour and I thought—“
Nigel cut him off, placing his hand on Adam’s shoulder. Sometimes it was easier to stop the oncoming train than to let it run him over.
Nigel smiled. Adam after a moment smiled back. “Just let me get a heavier jacket.”
