Normally, Adam tries to be rational, tries to think through his actions before he takes them. However, there are limits to reason, and Shiro's treatment doesn't so much as break them but shatter them into a million pieces. He can certainly turn his anger to defending the Earth and protecting her new allies, but if he can manage to get some shots in at those who hurt Shiro like that, then it'll make it all the better. As his partner, part of his role is to help Shiro carry those burdens. As the man who means the most to him, Adam wants to do that for Shiro. (Giving new meaning to the phrase "your ass is grass". And Adam would have mowed it.)
He agreed once, he would certainly agree again. Their chapter on their first engagement had certainly closed, but that doesn't mean that a new chapter can't be written later. There was no hesitation in his answer, only fervent agreement. Adam could see the tears well in Shiro's eyes before his face is buried in his chest. He's quick to wrap his arms around him and hold him tight, whispering about how much he loves him, about how this time, they'll get to say their vows. The traumatic past is over, let them write a bright future now.
They had been incredibly naive, both Adam and Shiro doing what they felt was right. They could operate as a team on missions, but as a romantic couple? That was a different story. There was a clear divide in their roles on missions. In a relationship, there is no divide. It's a lesson they certainly learned the hard way.
His own brown eyes wander over Shiro's body, taking in the muscles and scars that Shiro has gained over the years. It was certainly a change that Adam had to get used to, but he enjoyed relearning the map of Shiro's body. "I guess old dogs can learn new tricks," he says, humming as Shiro's head is tilted into the kiss.
Adam will never tire of using Shiro's first name. Nearly everyone calls him by "Shiro", but his first name is a privilege that Adam will never tire off. He presses a quick kiss to the pad of Shiro's metal thumb. (That new arm was certainly something that Adam had to get used to, but he will never shy away from it, whether it's holding it as they walk down hallways, or when he thrusts into its grip.) He tilts his head as well, pressing into Shiro's grip before closing his eyes and feeling Shiro's lips press against his. He will never tire of this, Shiro's body against his as they kiss.
But they certainly have time tonight, no need to rush into things. His hands rest on Shiro's shoulders, feeling the strength there, as he pulls him close.
