It was a stupid, stupid idea to test the myth of the Blarney Stone; it was a great idea, however, to get the Discovery Channel to pay for them to go to Ireland, so they went. And Jamie bent over backwards and kissed the stone and didn't feel any different, unless wanting to brush his teeth for an hour counted.
And they went to talk to the curator for background, and Adam was fucking around, and Adam stumbled, and Adam suddenly wasn't there anymore.
On the ground, Jamie waited for the paramedics and felt more scared for Adam than he ever had before. He knelt beside Adam and tried not to look at the sickening angle of Adam's leg, his hand gripping Jamie's so tightly that his knuckles were white. Jamie knelt and kissed Adam's head, because he didn't know what else to do.
"Tickles," Adam said distantly, and Jamie laughed, despite himself.
He says the same thing now, in their clean, warm hotel room, where Jamie fusses with his cast and Adam tries not to be bored, but he tilts his face up again anyway.
