The hug was everything that Adam wanted and more. It solidified everything he felt during Shiro's absence, that in spite of everything, he was everything that Adam wanted and more. Flowers might have been nice, but there was certainly a 90% chance that Adam would have used them to hit Shiro at some point during their talk during the night. Might have been better than his fists, and Shiro should be glad that Adam still is limited by the strengths of the human body or else that dead limb might have been worse. But they needed that night together, to get a lot of stuff off their chests.
He listened quietly to everything Shiro had told him about his time out in space. He understood those urges, having had his own during the separation. It was only a little surprising to hear that Lance and Keith were the primary outlets for them, but mostly because he still thought of them as students. The lack of memories of his time during the arena, how he was used as more than just a gladiator... Adam was about ready to shove Keith out of the way and hop into the Black Lion to deal with them personally.
Shiro was broken, that Adam could see, but he still loved the man. He was alive, he was alive, and now that Shi-- Takashi was alive, Adam wasn't going to let go of him again. The road to recovery was going to be long, hard, and full of bumps, but Adam wouldn't have agreed to marry Takashi if he wasn't willing to go through that with him at his side. That was why they failed the first time, having spent so much time together before becoming engaged, they forgot how they needed to work together, talk to each other, about what they were feeling. They won't make that mistake this time.
That first morning they woke up together again, Adam feeling Shiro's body, warm and alive in his arms, he knew that this was the right choice. Those nights together, as well, only served to heighten those feelings. Shiro was everything, and he's sure to leave reminders of that, so that Shiro can never forget.
Adam holds back a laugh at how they came to the pool with the same idea. Save walking around naked for their rooms, when they know that they can be alone. For the moment, this is fine. Adam walks towards Shiro, his own scars being lit up by the pool lights as he gets closer to the water. His smirk softens into a smile.
"It's a nice change, just one I never would have imagined from you." Adam reaches forward, placing a hand on Shiro's hip before pressing a kiss to his cheek. "You do too, Takashi."
