Number one- chapter 1
“You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do”
Tommy suddenly realized it all. And blushed. (Wait! He shouldn’t blush, he’s a dude, remember? But there was a perfect reason.) He liked him. Yeah, he liked him. But Adam didn’t see it, did he?
Its been always like that. Every time they kissed. It was Adam who pulled away. Why? For singing. Tche. Tommy was sure that the fans wouldn’t have minded if they spent time making out instead of making music. But…things would change now, Tommy would change them, he smiled. Yeah, he was different from what Adam currently “liked”. But, it wont be the same…
“But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You, you belong with me, you belong with me”
Adam pushed the “end” button, and sighed. C’mon, cousins could be such a mess. And Kiara was the worst of them all. Still she was his cousin, and he loved her like a first sister. Plus, she would be leaving soon, so why not spend some time with her?
But not if it destroyed his rare moments with Tommy. Not that he could do anything. But. But. Only if he could…
Adam crossed the living room, heading to Tommy’s bedroom. Yeah, heading there again, his heart started racing. Tommy’s. Bedroom. Okay, okay, so he had a small crush on his bassist, okayyy? It was nothing wrong…to crush on a straight guy, right? Uh. Forget it.
He stopped at the full length mirror to check if he was looking as dorky as he felt. Sneakers, denim jeans, his favorite shirt, and light make up. Yup, as dorky as he felt. Running his hands through his hair, to fix them, destroying them actually, Adam’s eyes landed on the pictures framing the mirror. One showed Tommy and his family, one with his mom, one with dad and all. Another showed Tommy and someone, maybe sister, beside a Christmas tree. Both were looking as dorky as he was now. But cuteeee, Adam thought and smiled. Then his eyes caught the other pictures. The ones of Tommy and his girlfriends… Heavy female makeup. Short dresses. High heels.
Adam looked into the mirror again. Nothing like what he was wearing. No short dresses, no high heels, and no female makeup, thank you very much…And, Tommy’s straight. Forget it Lambert, he’s never gonna like you…
As he was leaving, his eyes caught one small picture. It was of them! Tommy and him! From before the GNT…in a park, at dusk, with ice cream all over them. It was always like that…He liked Tommy from the first day. But, Tommy was straight, Adam didn’t want to disgrace him. So he tried to stay away. But that day just got a bit outta hand. Ice cream fight? Yeah, so mature. But still, that was a day to remember, Adam smiled. He looked at the other pictures again, the ones with the girlfriends…None of the smiles was were original as of the Tommy with Adam…His Tommy… But Tommy didn’t think so, did he?
“Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey, isn't this easy?
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for, has been here the whole time”
Adam took a deep breath, and headed towards the room again. He had a sudden wave of confidence. Hey, he wasnt the sex God for no reason. C’mon, fans gave him such a title, and sometimes, actually more than sometimes, they were the most smartass people he knew. So, he would do all he could to seduce Tommy…*evil grin*. Reaching the door, he heard music flowing to him. Heh, Adam smiled. Metallica. It was on his top favs now, all thanks to Tommy.
“If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me”
Before Tommy could reach out to the door, it opened by itself. And in his excitement to talk to Adam, Tommy couldn’t stop his feet and he banged straight into Adam. He couldn’t keep track of his emotions; excited, blank, surprised, apprehended, embarrassed, and it all just ended in a round of laughter.
“Adam-“
“Tommy-“
They said in unison, and stopped. But before they could say anything else…the great Grand father clock in the hallway chimed. What time was it? Oh, perfect midnight.
“Adam, you say first.” Tommy gave an adorable grin.
“Uh…I gotta go home Tommy…” Adam said, nothing what he really wanted to say. Tommy’s face fell.
“Why? You could stay…I don’t have any problem…y’know…” He said, a small light of hope on his face.
“No…I, uh, Kiara…she’s leaving, early in the morning, I’ve gotta be with her…” Adam said, with a tone of regret. Stay with Tommy. All night. What an opportunity…And he was missing it…
“Oh” was all Tommy said.
“Okay, bye.” Adam said, and turned to leave. May be he could give Tommy a good night hug?
“Adam, wait! “ Adam turned towards Tommy. Hmmm…May be Tommy would give him a hug? May be not. “Would you…uh...come to the um…movies with me…?” Tommy stammered, and was turning red now. Wait. Why was this happening? He asked out so many girls before, never blushed before. What is it now?
“Sure…” Adam had a surprised look on his face, which was spreading into a contagious grin. That totally looked as if Tommy asked him out on a date. “Message me the timings okay? Gotta take care of my sister.” He winked and turned to leave again.
“-Sister?” Tommy questioned.
“Yeah,” Adam turned to Tommy again, wishing that he could stay, “Kiara, you know her right?”
“Sister…” Tommy felt blank, “you mean, you guys are not going out?”
“Going out? Tommy, she’s my cousin…what made you think so?” Adam was surprised.
“Oooohhh! Sister…” Tommy repeated again. Then he remembered that Adam asked him something. “Uh…nothing…nothing…” Tommy couldn’t help an idiotic grin spread over his face, and another blush painted his face. Maybe he should change the topic. “G’night Adam, see you tomorrow!”
“Night. Take care, Tommy…” Adam turned to leave for the third time. But he turned back yet again. And walked to Tommy. Forget the hug. Adam slightly bent down, and cupping the snowy white face, he pecked Tommy on the lips.
“Good night, Tommy…” Adam gave a pure smile, smiling his heart out.
All Tommy did was blush like a teen girl.
“Oh, I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs and you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong, think I know it's with me
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
Been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know?
Baby, you belong with me, you belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me?
You belong with me”
