Rating: NC-17
Pairing: adam/kris
Summary: AU: Kris Allen left his life behind in the States to follow the intriguing Sheikh Addi Baba (Adam) and work for his foundation.
After their month long endeavor digging water wells in Ethiopia, the men took a vacation to Cape Town, South Africa where they were rudely interrupted by a case of malaria. Addi felt horrible ruining their trip and promised Kris he’d make it up to him. Months have passed and finally Addi finds the perfect opportunity … or so he thought.

Sorry for the short chapter but I wanted to post an update - it’s been a while.

The full moon made the white curtains of his bedroom window glow with an unearthly brightness. Addi tugged the flannel sheets further over his shoulders and under his chin. He shivered … and it had nothing to do with the cold Arkansas night. He shivered out of confusion, and fear, and anger. At the very least, Kristopher hadn’t lied about him being gay. No, he just lied about their relationship, about their connection.
Why in Jahannam didn’t Kristopher tell his parents Addi was the sheikh?
There had to be an answer but at this point, Addi was too exhausted and hurt to seek answers.
Closing his eyes, he sighed and prayed that the coming sunrise would shed light on his lover’s words.
While Addi was trying to stay warm under the sheets, Kris was down in the kitchen with his fingers wrapped around a mug of steaming cocoa. Despite the jetlag, he couldn’t sleep. Every time he closed his eyes he say the confusion and hurt in his man’s eyes. It had started so innocently, something that didn’t come up right away when he told his family about his new boyfriend. Now it had been almost a full year and over time, the omission somehow turned into an outright lie.
Would his parents forgive him?
Would Addi forgive him?
Of course they would! It wasn’t like it was a big deal … or was it?
Sitting back, the kitchen chair creaked, echoing loudly in the quiet house. The easiest way out of this was to fess up in the morning but sometimes the easiest way isn’t the easiest way. Kris looked up at the ceiling. Addi was right above him. His feet were itching to climb the stairs but his butt was stuck to the chair until the sound of a door shutting jerked him to his feet.
“Daddy!”
Neil stood frozen in the front hallway. He knew his son and boyfriend were arriving today but he’d expected them to be in bed. The older man dropped his winter coat on the floor and embraced his oldest. It felt like Kris’ shoulders were shaking but he wasn’t sure.
“What on earth are you doing up? I wasn’t expecting to see you until breakfast.”
“Umm, you know, jet lag,” Neil vocalized his understanding then held his boy back at arm’s length to get a good look at him. “How are Danny’s pipes?” Kris asked.
“Well, we got them wrapped so hopefully they won’t freeze and burst. That’s the last thing he and Lindy need to add to their plate.”
“If it’s a question of money, I can help … really I can.”
“Well, that’s something you boys need to discuss amongst yourselves.” Neil’s eyes scanned the rest of the house. “Is Addi in the kitchen?’
“No, he’s … in his room. Would you like a cocoa? I’ve got some on the stove I can heat up?” Kris asked, quickly changing the subject.
Neil patted his back. “What I need is to hit the sack? You comin’?”
Kris looked away and refilled his mug with lukewarm cocoa. “I’ll be up soon.”
“Okay then … I’ll see you and Addi in the morning. Good night.”
“Night daddy.”
Up in his bedroom, Neil found his wife awake reading a book. She set it down and got out of bed, helping him out of his flannel shirt. They talked briefly about the state of Daniel’s pipes and then got around to their other son.
“Is there something wrong with Kris? He just seems … off.”
“Just jetlag honey. Both boys were so tired they headed off to bed early.”
“You sure that’s all Kim?”
“What else could it be? Wait until you see them together at breakfast Neil, you can feel how happy they are!”
Neil just nodded and kissed her before heading into the bathroom to get ready for bed.
There was more to it; he could feel it in his bones.
