Chapter 8: Making Up Does Not Require Kissing

Yeah, my laptops still in the shop, so sorry for the slow updates

Adam woke up alone. He sat up and looked around to confirm that Samandriel wasn't even in the room. He cursed, that damn angel was too sensitive.

He got up and got dressed, whilst worrying about where Samandriel could have possibly gone. And then he remembered he also was supposed to be going to work.

He opened the door to the diner and almost choked on air when he saw Samandriel leaning over the counter talking to Kristie.

"You scared the hell out of me!" Adam exclaimed, causing Samandriel to turn around "don't do that ever again!"

"Oh don't be such a baby" Kristie rolled her eyes. "You two are so petty I swear..."

"You be quiet" Adam frowned "why are you here angel face?"

"I wanted to explain to your coworkers what happened yesterday, as I was sure that they would appreciate it."

"I could've handled that myself" Adam grumbled.

"I took it upon myself to complete the task."

Adam sighed "whatever dude."

"Can you two just kiss and make up before a customer walks in?" Kristie crossed her arms over her chest.

Samandriel and Adam did not kiss and make up, but Samandriel did leave so Adam could focus on work

Well that was his intent anyway, in reality Adam just became even more distracted. And it didn't help that Kristie kept shooting him evil glares.

By the end of his shift Adam was about ready to curl up in a ball in the corner and never come out. Why did his life have to be so fucked up?

He considered calling the Winchesters, but what could they do besides hide him away in some safe house?

Adam unlocked and opened the door to the motel room and found Samandriel watching TV. He stopped in the doorway, a bit taken aback, he had kind of expected Samandriel to be gone when he returned. "Hello Adam" the angel greeted him.

"Uh hey" Adam slipped off his shoes and awkwardly stood in place, not wanting to go sit on the bed with Samandriel because that would be weird.

Samandriel was watching him carefully. "I'm sorry if I upset you" he said slowly. "I can leave if you'd like me to."

"No don't leave" Adam said quickly. "I'm not upset I'm just... Not happy."

Samandriel frowned in confusion.

"Listen, I'm just a little awkwarded out alright? Maybe angels don't get that emotion I don't know."

"Angels can experience any emotion" Samandriel said "joy, anger, sadness..."

"Yeah but what about envy or embarrassment? Can you feel things like that?"

Samandriel paused to think and Adam took that as a no. "See that's why its so hard to talk to you, it's because you can only feel the basics."

"I assure you I can experience all of the same emotions as you and possibly even more."

"Huh" Adam sat down on the only chair in the room, a swivel office chair.

"I don't want to argue with you" Samandriel admitted "I care about you very much Adam, and I enjoy being able to speak to you without the fear of being pushed away."

Adam bit his lip "I don't want to fight with you either" he said.

"Then can we not fight?"

Adam laughed at Samandriel's pleading facial expression. His big blue eyes were adorable. Adam stood up and instinvtvely headed over to the bed to wrap Samandriel in a hug. Samandriel sighed in relief and hugged him back.

"I have some extra money" Adam proclaimed as he pulled away "I want to go out to eat somewhere nice tonight.

"That sounds nice" Samandriel agreed, grinning ear to ear.

Fortunato's was a semi formal Italian restaurant that Adam had been eyeing up ever since he got his job. He passed it every day on the way to work and sometimes you could even smell the food as they passed.

Adam had on dark brown dress slacks and a light blue dress shirt plus a tie, and Samandriel was wearing his newly acquired black dress pants and a white dress shirt with a red tie.

They walked into the restaraunt and Adam ignored any strange looks they got because he was overly happy that him and Samandriel were back to normal.

Their waiter was a friendly man in his mid forties. Adam thought he caught Samandriel blushing when the man relit the candle on their table, but he was probably just seeing things.

Adam ordered spaghetti and Samandriel ordered fettuccine with Alfredo sauce.

"I am going to interview for a job at the gardening store downtown" Samandriel said.

"Good for you" Adam said "it's a nice place?"

"Yes, I have been in it a few times while you were at work."

"Awesome."

Samandriel nodded slightly. A short time later the waiter returned with their food.

"Tell me if that's any good" Adam said looking over at Samandriel's plate.

Samandriel took a bite and nodded eagerly causing a laugh to escape Adam's mouth. "I'll take that as a yes."

"This place is very nice" Samandriel commented.

"I told you I was going to take you somewhere nice."

"I know" Samandriel said "but I've never been somewhere like this and I enjoy it."

Adam smiled "I'm glad."

They ate in a comfortable silence and when the waiter came back they ordered desert to share. It was a quarter of a cheesecake.

"How long have you two been together?" The waiter asked.

"About two months" Samandriel replied calmly. Adam remained silent.

They got their desert and as they ate Adam lightheartedly asked why Samandriel didn't deny that they were together.

Samandriel shrugged "I figured it would be easier than explaining that we weren't."

Adam nodded slightly. He found himself thinking about what it would be like if they were together. He realized that he didn't find the idea repelling. Which was slightly concerning.

"You ever thought about getting a girlfriend?" Adam asked nonchalantly "or a boyfriend, you know whichever."

Samandriel pondered for a moment "I've never really thought about it" he said "I suppose it might be nice."

Later, back at the motel, Adam and Samandriel curled up on the bed and watched the remaining 45 minutes of Pirates of the Caribbean on one of the movie channels.

Samandriel fell asleep before Adam even turned the TV off. Adam then maneuvered around the room as quietly as he could manage before climbing into to bed as well.

Adam fell asleep happy that night.
