Kaidam

Kaidam is the slash ship between Adam and Kai from The Hollow fandom.

Canon
Adam and Kai first meet in "The Room" when they wake up in an unfamiliar room and can't remember anything. Both guys and their friend, Mira, lead an unfamiliar world of magical mysteries in an attempt to return to home, which they can't remember of where is.

At first, their relationship is somewhat tense. Kai feels intimidated by Adam, and his insecurities frequently lead him to disagree with or belittle Adam, which often causes arguments. Despite his insecurities, Kai usually goes to Adam for security when he is scared.

Kai saves Adam's life in "Cocoon." When Adam is in a coma dying of hypothermia, Kai makes two prosthetic legs for the mutant spider leader, who, in return for the kind gesture, heals Adam with his venom. After that, they got closer and so well their development of their friendship grown even more.

Season 2
After Adam recountered with Kai and Mira, they get persecuted by Adam's fear (his childhood bullies), Kai, who was eating donuts while escaping, he gets sad about the fact that he will make a small "sacrifice" (throwing the donuts to the bullies so they can get distracted and escape with Adam and Mira), and with that, he ended doing that so. After reaching Adam and Mira, Adam compliments about his good thinking which Kai tells him that they've gotta make some sacrifices, then Kai offers both guys for heading to his place so they can hide. Adam, shocked by the place of where Kai lives, asks Kai if the mansion of which they were standing were really his, which Kai nervously says that he only stays there for winter.

Before Kai gets attacked by Mabel, Adam screams for his name and then jumps to deal with Kai's nightmare (Mabel), he then fells to the ground and Kai compliments Adam by saying that he was doing great, Adam then tells him that he wishes that Kai'd be afraid of something that didn't have a razor-shap beak. Adam then gets caught by Mabel, to which Kai runs to save him by saying to the chicken (Mabel) to let his friend alone, and then says that he wasn't afraid of Mabel, to which the chicken disappears in the process after Kai says that, surprising Adam while he said that he made to deal with his nightmare. After heading back to the mansion, Kai tells that dreams are weird, but Adam says that they weren't in his dream, but Kai contradicts him by saying that he wouldn't be so sure about that. Then it's seen Adam messing with Kai's things for finding clues about the game, to which Kai gets a little angry saying that they had to find clues without messing with his things, and then Adam teases him by contradicting Kai's words about that everything was a dream too. Later in the same episode, Kai promises not "getting in" between Adam and Mira, to which later Adam confess to him that he was gay, which Kai chuckled and gets disappointed that nobody tells him anything.
