As far as Adrian was concerned, kismet definitely existed. For one, he hadn't meant to be at that Bachelor Auction that night. He got a last minute invite when the organisers heard he was in town and would be making a sizeable donation to the hospital - which was already planned before he bid for Richie. He had stopped by, just to be polite and acknowledge the invitation. He had arrived late, and walked in just minutes before Richie was called up. Then, despite really just wanted to help Richie have an easy out of an awkward situation, Richie didn't take him up on it and they had a really fun night. Sex hadn't been planned. He didn't believe sex could 'just happen' either. There was a sizzling chemistry, it all started with a very heated kiss, and neither of them felt there was anything wrong with what they were doing, both being single adults. It led to all this, there was, indeed, kismet. No doubt about it. He didn't know what he did to deserve an adorable sweetheart like Richie stumbling into his life, but he wasn't taking any of it for granted.
He had a hold of Richie's hand and as he listened, brought it up to his lips to kiss the backs of Richie's fingers tenderly. The fact the rapist had been murdered was definitely a heavy load to drop, but Adrian actually felt relieved to hear that particular fact because he had already been concerned there might be lingering danger for Richie and his mom. "Well, I just want to promise you that while we're dating and in your life, I'll always take care of you the best I can. I haven't been through the extensive amounts of pain that no doubt come from the ordeal and probably still left a lot of scars, but I know what it's like seeing someone you love hurting. My brother used to be a model. A supermodel, actually. Tristan Hewitt is my brother. It strained him mentally and he ended up with Anorexia. He became someone none of us knew; very withdrawn and would barely speak to anything. He wasted away. He's well and healthy now, but I know the terrible judgement that exists in this world. I know good people suffer it all the time, and that it can affect them. I'm here for you. However much you want to talk or not talk about it."
