Default do i have to use adhesive when i put on new brake pads??

i just put on new front brake pads, and I forgot to use adhesive to stick the brake pads onto the calipers. I finished doing the fronts and i don't feel like doing it all over again. Is it necessary to use adhesive on the pads? If not, are there any downsides? Also, should i put more brake fluid in?

Default They are peel-and-stick, aren't they?

I don't do things I'm not 100% sure about. Especially not when it has to do with something like the brakes. ;-)
