A/N: Thanks to everyone for your support and patience. It's time for date night between Adam and Kim, no kid to think about.

To say that Adam was nervous was an understatement. He had changed shirts about five different times already and his pants twice before settling on some jeans and a black button down, turning the sleeves up a little bit. The time on his alarm clock told him he didn't have all that much time to pick Kim up for their date. He had promised something casual and fun as to not put too much pressure on her. He grabbed his keys, his jacket and he was out the door. He took a deep breath when he killed the engine. He grabbed the box from the passenger side and climbed the stairs all the way to Kim's door. Kim opened it frantically while she was trying to finish getting ready.

"I'm sorry, I'm not ready yet. Platt is running late."

"It's fine." He leaned down and kissed her. "You look beautiful."

"Thanks." She blushed.

"Where's Michael?"

"In the living room playing with his switch."

"That's even better."

"What are you up to?"

"Nothing, I'll wait for you in there with him."

"Mhhmm." She chuckled, returning to her room to finish getting ready.

"Hey, what do you have there?"

"Adam." Michael greeted excitedly before returning his eyes to the tv screen. "Playing super smash brothers."

"Mind pressing pause on that?"

"What's up?" He set his remote aside.

"Well since I've been hanging out here for a while and that I'm going out on a date with your mom, I thought I'd get you a little something." Adam handed the thin box to Michael. He couldn't believe that thing was so small.

"What is it?" He looked at Adam with a frown on his face.

"Open it." He chuckled. He watched as he ripped the paper away and the smile on Michael's face was his reward. "I loved that game when I was a kid."

"Mortal Kombat, sweet. Mom doesn't let me play violent games."

"How about I make a deal with your mom and we play only when we're together?"

"Sweet."

"Sweet?" Kim returned wearing some skinny jeans with some flats, a white t-shirt and a plush, long sleeve, open sweater, her hair tied up in a lose top bun.

"Adam got me a new game for my Switch."

"But Michael said it's not the kind of game you usually let him play with, so I said I'd make a deal with you." He smiled at her and stood.

"A deal huh?" He slipped a hand around her waist and pulled her in for a kiss.

"Yeah." He breathed out. "You look beautiful."

"Thank you. I hope it's okay you didn't tell me where we were going."

"It's perfect."

"Aren't you two being all cute together." Adam chuckled at the sound of Platt's voice.

"Aunt Trudy." Michael was on his feet in seconds and was wrapped around her waist.

"Are you ready for a hot date just the two of us?"

"Do I get to pick desert?"

"You get to pick whatever you want."

"Yes." He jumped in the air with excitement.

"So, you two, out, go have fun."

"Be nice to Trudy, do you hear me?" Kim ran her fingers through Michael's hair.

"Yes mom. Have fun with Adam, I'll be okay."

"Thanks for doing this Trudy." Adam guided Kim to the front door.

"Sure thing Ruzek. No funny business between you two." Adam belly laughed while Kim giggled.

"Wouldn't dream of it boss." He kissed her cheek before he left with Kim.

"So, where are we going?"

"I made us reservations at McCormick & Scmicks, came highly recommended from Kevin."

"I've never been but I heard great things about that place too."

"How much time is Trudy staying over tonight?" They walked up to the front door and Adam gave his name and they were taken to their table.

"She's not. She was taking him back to her place and taking care of him for school in the morning."

"Interesting." He smirked as he looked over the wine card and menu. "So, we have all the time in the world?"

"No limit." She blushed, suddenly getting ideas of how she wanted their evening to go. Kim ordered the lobster tail plate after arguing with Adam over the price of the meal only to have him promise her it was fine and that she deserved to think outside the box. He ordered himself the Angus Ribeye steak and a white bottle of wine to go with it. "Alright so tell me about this deal you made with my son." She took a sip of her glass.

"Well, I should have asked you before I got it, but standing in front of the glass and having loved the game when I was a kid, I thought he'd like it too, so I got him Mortal Kombat."

"Yeah, I try to shiel him from violence, considering what we see, but it's okay." It warmed her heart that he thought of Michael like that.

"So, I told him that he'd be able to play only when I was there with him. Is that okay or did I overstep?"

"You're fine." She insisted. "Thank you for thinking of him."

"He's your priority so I try to make him mine too." He took her hand in his and linked their fingers together.

"That's what I love about you Adam." Male role models were hard to come by for Michael, but Kim was happy that Adam was in their lives, giving him the kind of male attention he needed. "You don't have to be that nice, get him things like that."

"I want to Kim." He smiled at her. "If I can give him that extra sense of normal, and to you, I want to give that to you both." He saw her eyes glaze over with fresh tears that he could see she tried not to let fall.

"I hate you." She chuckled.

"No, you don't" He laughed.

"Yes, I do." She argued back as their food arrived. They made small talk through dinner, not having been able to see each other of often as they would have liked to lately because of work. When it was time for dessert, Adam ordered the seasonal cheesecake and Kim the candied Walnut apple pie and Kim claimed she had never put something so good in her mouth before. Adam asked for the check and they were out of there. It wasn't all that late, but Adam didn't want to spend their whole evening in a diner room filled with people. He wanted to be able to spend some quality time alone with Kim, something they couldn't often do because of Michael and the complexity of getting someone to watch him while they were out.

"Do you want to come up for some coffee?"

"I'd love to." He cut the engine and went to open the door for her and they climbed the stairs hand in hand. Kim unlocked the door and Adam followed her inside, hands on her hips. They walked all the way into the kitchen but his hands on her hips were begging to touch more of her, so he turned her around, her back against the counter and his lips found hers. He snaked a hand between her t-shirt and sweater and pulled her into his body, his ither hand coming to pull her hair out of her bun, letting her hair fall against her shoulders.

"Adam?" She pulled away breathless.

"Yeah?"

"What are we?" She tried catching her breath, the question falling off her lips.

"Kevin told me I was falling for you." He whispered, kissing her again. "He was right, and I didn't know it yet."

"Are you? Did you?"

"I did, and all I want to do now is love you, show you how much I fell for you."

"I want you to show me." His fingers were brushing her hair behind her shoulders. He cupped her cheeks and smiled at her before dipping down and kissing her, this time with more urgency. Coffee was no longer a thought now that Adam wanted to just show her what she meant to him. He turned her around and walked her towards her room, their lips fusing together, their tongues battling for control. He pushed her sweater off her shoulders when he walked through the threshold. Kim grabbed at the buttons of his shirt, trying to undo each of them gently only for Adam to give her a hand and remove the short from his shoulders himself. They parted only to remove more clothes, Adam puller her shirt over her head and throwing it on the floor. Kim moved herself on the bed, Adam crawling over her, kissing her lips and then her neck, Kim's fingers running through his hair. He kissed his way down and undid her jeans, pulling them slowly down her legs and over his shoulder. She was beautiful, now she was a vision. Her cotton candy pink set was calling him to remove them from her and adore every inch of skin on her body, but she pushed against his chest, making him kneel on the bed and her hands found the belt buckle and she worked his pants, Adam flipping on his back to allow her to remove them from him to grow the pile of discarded clothes. He pulled her back to him and they kissed, Adam rolling them over so he was on top of her again. They kissed, tongues battling and hands roaming over skin. Kim moaned when Adam found the tender flesh of her neck and it had for effect to tighten the confines of his briefs. He slipped a hand behind her back and un-hooked her bra and gently removed it. Kim was threatening to burst into flames under his touch, her body having forgotten what it felt like to be loved and adored like that. Adam took his time to slide her panties down and off her legs before admiring the beautiful he had in front of him.

"Just as beautiful as I thought you would be."

"The way you look at me." She breathed out.

"The way you should always be looked at." He whispered against her lips. Kim pulled him to her and they kissed again. She was completely naked against him, goosebumps forming on her skin from the way his body touched hers and her hands found the muscles of his back, running them down, feeling them jump at every touch. She slipped a hand in his briefs and squeezed his ass, making him groan. "Kim."

"Adam." Her other hand was working hard to lower his briefs, so he pulled away from her momentarily and removed them, rolling on protection that he kept in his wallet at all times. "Make love to me." Adam positioned himself at her entrance, kissing her as he pushed himself all the way into her. Her muscles contracted around him as she adjusted to him and when she dug her nails into his shoulder, he started thrusting in and out of her. They made love slowly, thoroughly, hands grabbing at skin and bodies reacting to the other like they were meant to be. Sweat formed on their skin as they both chased an orgasm that threatened to overtake their bodies. Sounds of pleasure were coming from both of them as Adam's movements became more erratic, slightly harder and faster. They were both close, but Adam wanted her to let herself go before he did, putting her needs over his like it should always be. Her fingers pulled at his hair as she was raked by an orgasm, Adam following behind. His forehead was resting against her shoulder, his breath rapid and uneven. She pulled his weight into her and ran her fingers through his hair, hoping to return his breathing to normal. When both their hearts were beating evenly against each other, Adam pulled himself from on top of her and went to the bathroom to get cleaned up, returning with a warm cloth, cleaning Kim up before he slid under the covers with her, pulling her into his side. It was quiet between the two before Kim broke it. "So fallen for me huh?" She looked up at him.

"I did, I just couldn't see it."

"But Kevin did, right?" He nodded, kissing her forehead. "How much do you owe him?" The rumble of his laughter made her smile.

"Hundred." He chuckled. "I told him it wasn't like that; that I wouldn't, but he knew, he always knows."

"How bad did you fall?"

"I fell completely and utterly in love with you Kim Burgess." He kissed her lips.

"I love you too." She smiled into the kiss. Adam turned on his side and kissed her soundly, pulling her body into his. They basked in their love as they fell asleep, the two finally admitting how deep their feelings ran for each other.

A/N: So they finally make love after enjoying a lovely evening together. It's a huge step between the two but is it enough for them to move forward together or is there something darker looming ahead?
