(Never) Gonna Happen | Adam & Sutton
A lot of time had passed since they last saw one another properly. Adam had been all over the world and Sutton had found herself on the opposite side of it; set up with a pretty beach bar down on one of the hottest beaches in Oz. The times had changed and so had they—Adam had, more or less, cleaned himself up and Sutton had done the impressive thing and sought out rehab. He had always worried for Sutton, especially at her worst, but when she’d finally sent him a postcard and a rehab pamphlet like she’d promised he knew that everything would be better.
Sutton had earned herself a special place in his heart. Her time at Easton was a trainwreck to put it mildly—bad boys with bad habits that imposed themselves on her and he did his best to give her the cold hard truth of it, generally laced with the charm and shameless flirting that came along with Adam. He’d always joked about her falling madly in love with him and running away together—even with her protests that it would never happen, but as time went on and they both moved on, he never lost that relationship with Sutton. He’d always send her texts and drop little nostalgia bombs on her—and when they did get the chance to facetime or call properly, he’d spend until the early hours talking her ear off about all the things he’d been up to. The gallery, travelling—and they had time and time again suggested travelling across the world to see one another again, but time and time again it had fallen through. This time was going to be different, Adam had made her promise—and lo and behold, it was.
When she’d finally appeared from the terminal and he’d swept her up in his arms, he held her tight. It was hard to believe she was actually there, but he could feel her pressed up tight against him and he couldn’t help but laugh at it all. It’d finally happened. He set her down to her own two feet and nodded, a sharp boyish grin worn reminiscent of their youth for her.
“You can be my wingman any day, Sutts.” Adam spoke through laughter, stealing away her bags to tuck them away in the boot. He swung open the passenger side door for her and flourished a dramatic bow for her. “Would you expect any less from me? You should just be glad you didn’t see me with the moustache. Let’s just say I got some looks.”
