To Elijah
Adam still held down a job through all of this. While his father had left him some money, it wasn't enough to keep up his extracurricular activities. He made good money as a general contractor and he was good at his job. So good, in fact, that many times his employer had asked why he didn't go into business for himself. Adam always passed it off, saying he didn't want the responsibility of owning a business. Really, he didn't want more time taken away from his passions at home, or the collecting of more. Today, he cut out early claiming he had a doctor's appointment. When he arrived home, he went downstairs and pulled Elijah gently from his cell to take him upstairs. He never expected the boy to struggle.

"I drew a bath for you," he said quietly, leading Lijah to the bathroom, smoothing a hand up underneath the boy's shirt so he could touch his back. It had been a couple days since Elijah had slept in Shay's cell. "Maybe this will help you sleep."

"Even if you can't see them, the experience of being photographed is still there. Knowing someone is watching through a lens every little movement you make, hearing the shutter each time he catches a moment of you." Adam drug his hand down Elijah's cheek as if he was stroking a cat. He loved to watch the artists work, and he loved to see their interplay when they worked together.

Elijah knew very well that Adam would be watching both he and Shay, and he was terrified that the man would see how they felt about eachother. Adam had a way of seeing only the things he wanted to see to a dangerous degree, but would that work out in their favor? It was hard to say.

"I'll do whatever you want," Elijah finally said, thinking that was the best answer with Adam, always.

"Okay," he said, pleasure in his voice. Elijah clearly trusted him and wanted to please him. That meant so much to him and he kissed the boy's cheek before settling next to him, ready for sleep. He would be sleeping light, trusting--yet not entirely naive. He also trusted that his two dogs outside would alert him if Elijah tried to run, but he really just didn't believe that the boy would try to do that.

	More than anything, Elijah wished that he was down in his little cell, curled up with Shay. But for tonight, he'd have to stay next to Adam. He was quiet as he listened to the older man fall asleep, and eventually he gave in to sleep, too. (Reply to this)(Parent)
