[a kiss from ocelot, at this point, shouldn't cause him to bat an eye. after all, their first kiss had been in a dark alley, with the threat of capture and death nipping at their heels. hell, they had even shared a few hiding out in a sewer system. not to mention the former blond thoroughly surprising him by being affectionate in front of ahab.
so why, then, did this particular one cause him so much confusion? probably because, for as long as john had known him, adam wasn't the kind of man to feel trepidation. but there it was, clearly communicated in his body language. john wasn't about to pretend he didn't know where this could possibly lead, but he thought adam would have been more sure of himself in this regard.
he sure as hell wasn't. the old veteran was attracted to his friend, sure, but that doesn't give him experience.]
Adam, don't force yourself.
[while it might sound like he was talking ocelot down, nothing could be further from the truth. the proof is in the way he doesn't move away, barely even drawing his lips back. still, maybe, for once, the confident spy was getting cold feet. thankfully, john held no (serious) expectations.]
