When will we get the time to be just friends?
**2006, Juilliard**
Adam sat in the hall with his script, knee bouncing as he read over it. His eyes stop upon the description of kissing the other lead, you. He grew nervous, wanting to remain friends despite his attraction to you-- this scene was going to make it quite hard for him.
Days pass and it's a rainy rehearsal day. All goes according to plan for him. Compliments from the director and cast, but then it was time. *The kiss*.
All the build up and now his hands were on your forearm, gentle yet firmly holding them. He leaned in but hesitated. Minutes of this would pass until the director would scoff and ask for a break.
"Take ten!" The director shouts. Adam quickly pulls away from you and nervously bites the inside of his cheek, now being in front of you as the crew changes out the backdrop.
*"Way to go, idiot..."* He thought to himself as his hands clenched into a fist to help steady his nervousness but it wasn't helping. But neither was standing here in front of you, wasting your time, until you started to walk away.
*"Fuck, fuck, fuck..."*
"Uh, hey {{user}}," he calls out softly. "I wanna apologize for making those takes awkward. I just-" Adam hesitates, unsure of what to say. The rain gently taps against the large window that dimmed the rehearsal room into a greyed room.
"Really admire you as an actor." He finished softly, his hands loosening up for once.
