I hope everyone enjoys reading this!
Adam Jensen wasn't much of a social person, he mostly kept to himself.
He was a rather stoic man and heavily augmented. He was tall, had short dark hair, was well built and usually in public wore a black leather trench coat and a pair of black jeans. He was thirty-seven years old, and was living in Prague.
Sometimes Francis Pritchard, a friend of Adam's from his previous job in Detroit would call him up to talk but other than that and for his work he didn't really socialise with people much. Except for recently when he had started to go out for drinks at a bar in his spare time.
The bar was one of those that served both augmented people and people without any augmentations. Adam liked this bar, though not really for the alcoholic drinks it served but simply for the company it attracted. There was a non-augmented man who Adam had become interested in and he would always drink with him, the man's name was Harry.
They had been friends and drinking buddies for at least a month now.
Harry was a handsome man who looked to be in his late thirties, he was a bit shorter than Adam was and had a lean build with some slight muscles. Harry also had black, short messy hair, a pair of vivid green eyes behind a pair of black round glasses and a scar in the shape of a lightning bolt on his forehead.
Adam liked Harry, the man was easy on the eyes, was a good man and didn't have a problem with augmented people like Adam, no matter how heavily augmented Adam was.
Adam ever since becoming the way he was now had felt incredibly insecure about himself and about how other people saw him, especially how Harry saw him. Adam had never voiced this out loud but sometimes he didn't even feel like he was human anymore, afterall nearly all of him was augmentations and artificial limbs. He was practically like a cyborg and he hated it.
He didn't think that Harry could ever see him in a romantic way, not with the way Adam was. He didn't think that Harry would ever want a man like him.
There weren't many people in the bar when Adam entered one night, he felt a feeling of satisfaction fill him, (though it didn't really show upon his face) when he saw Harry sitting alone and drinking a beer.
Adam saw that there was a seat next to Harry that wasn't been used by anyone, Adam approached Harry.
"Hey Harry, you waiting for anyone?" he said.
Harry looked up to the augmented man, shook his head and smiled at Adam. "No, I'm not. Can I buy you some drinks?"
Adam managed a smile at Harry's invitation and he gave a nod before sitting down on the bar stool next to Harry "Sure, I'll have a beer"
Harry gave a nod of his own of acknowledgement at Adam's words and ordered his drinking buddy a beer.
Adam was soon drinking and talking with Harry and enjoying himself with the other man.
Hours later they both left the bar and went back to Harry's apartment where they continued to drink more alcohol. Throughout their drinking they got a bit carried away, Adam kissed Harry and Harry kissed him back, they made out and had sex.
In the morning Adam awoke not in his own apartment and it took a moment for him to remember what had happened to him the previous night.
He had gone out drinking and met up with his friend Harry, they had drunk some beers before going to Harry's home which was where he probably was right now. He could remember kissing Harry and he could remember the two of them having sex.
He turned over and he saw that he was in bed with Harry, the sight of Harry still sleeping beside him confirming what he could remember from what they did together.
Adam cursed inwardly, feeling a worried feeling fill him. He really enjoyed spending time with Harry, he enjoyed their conversations, he enjoyed drinking with him. He was worried that Harry wouldn't want to hang out with him anymore.
Suddenly Adam felt movement beside him and looked beside him again to see Harry putting on his glasses.
"Um…Hey Adam, good morning," said Harry.
Adam noticed that Harry was blushing.
"Good morning" replied Adam.
"So…um..We had sex," said Harry.
"Yeah…Yeah…It was good," said Adam.
"You…You were pretty amazing.." said Harry.
"You too"
There was then an awkward silence between them.
Adam gave a sigh and he soon broke the silence again, "What do you want to do now?" he asked. "Do you still want to be friends Harry?"
Harry while still staring into Adam's eyes nodded, "Yes, of course I do but…but I think I…I also want to be more than that with you now. I've…I've been having romantic feelings for you"
Adam stared at Harry, "I…I've developed some romantic feelings for you too" he said.
There was a pause between the pair then as Adam admired both the smile and the blush that was on Harry's face.
"Let's talk more about this while we have breakfast. How does pancakes sound?" Harry said.
"That sounds good," said Adam.
Adam was feeling an almost happy and satisfied feeling fill him.
Harry and Adam then went to have a quick shower each before Harry cooked them breakfast.
After eating they talked again, both at the end of their conversation deciding to date.
