[ the adrenaline helps calm the flutter he feels in the pit of his stomach, the same one that surfaces whenever his thoughts land on her. they're held together by a thin string, one that's been stretched, that's frayed, that they've seen snap and have knotted back together. he remembers their discussion about fear, too, and how he told her he's no longer scared of fear, no longer runs from it, but they both know how he is when it comes to her, how terrified he is at the thought of losing her.
the adrenaline helps keep that at bay, and so does the brewing excitement of having this night to themselves. just the two of them. ]
