A/N: (Stuff that happened before Kiss) Adam left New York five months before to help his mom take care of his dying father, who went into remission. He came back, and is set on going back to Phoenix.

Kiss

Danny gripped his hair in his hands, trying to decide whether or not to kiss the scientist sitting across from him. He'd grown his hair out since the last time the scientist had seen him, and a long tuft of it was hanging down on his forehead. "You need to cut your hair." It was an attempt at simple conversation, and then Danny sighed.

"Yeah." Danny figured he'd do the scientist a favor and start the real conversation with, "Mac said your job's open for you when you're ready to come back."

"I…I'm going back to Phoenix. I came back to get my stuff. There's a crime lab down there that needs a new scientist." He looked down at the brown liquid in his glass and back up at Danny. "There's nothing to hold me here, Danny."

"Adam, you need to be here."

"No I don't, Danny. Nothing's making me stay."

"Then why did you fly all the way back to New York when you could have just asked one of us to send you your stuff?" Adam looked over to the bar, and exhaled loudly. "You have to stay."

"Why, Danny? Why are you so intent on making me stay?" Finally, Danny had enough, so he leaned over the table, slid his hand around the back of Adam's neck, and placed a kiss on the scientist's lips. Finally, after what seemed like forever, Danny released Adam and slid back to his seat.

"That's why." Danny grabbed his coat, and after setting down the money for his bill on the table, he got up and was just out the door when he heard someone following him.

"Danny, wait!" Danny ducked into a nearby alley, and then Adam appeared two seconds later. "Danny."

"Will you stay?" Adam backed Danny up against the wall and leaned forward, their noses just touching.

"I…" Adam paused, hesitating before making his decision. He knew he liked Danny, much more than a friend, but this was a big decision to make. "I'll stay." He softly kissed Danny, but then stopped just as soon as he'd started. "Uh…I canceled the rent on my place, so, I, uh…"

"Stay with me."
