Feeling the sound more than hearing it, it still doesn't do anything for Adam holding himself together. He's positive his hands are shaking as they trace Peter's spine, his breathing forced against the man's cheek.
"This might seem like a silly thing to ask, now." The beginning is the roughest part, and really, once it's started rolling he couldn't hazard to stop it anyhow. He's clutching Peter just a little too tightly as he makes himself speak up again, voice only cracking a bit. "You truly forgive me for everything I've done? Every wrong committed against you."
His eyebrows knit together, throat constricting with the effort it takes not to flee the room. But he still needs to go on, the wavering words speaking to all that he feels for Peter; all the fear in his chest trying to break free.
"I'll understand if you can't, or if you don't want to answer." They're barely words it comes out so soft, and he's pushing in his face back towards Peter's ear, the thought of Peter seeing the emotion spelled out over his face too much for him to stomach.
