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.

Addy walked carefully down the stairs. His body was awake but his mind wasn’t quite - it will still stuck trying to figure out what Kristopher was up to. He was so distracted, he failed to hear the heavy footsteps before the two bodies collided.
Strong hands came out of nowhere, clasping him by the shoulders and stopping his fall backwards.
“Well, it’s about time we ran into each other!”
With his attention focused again, a big grin filled Addy’s face and he let himself be drawn into a bear hug.
“Neil!”
“Addy,” Kris’ dad exclaimed, hold the young man at arm’s length so he could see him easier. “We finally meet in person. I must say, you look much better in 3D.”
The young man laughed and hugged Neil again.
“We missed you last night at dinner. How’s Daniel’s pipes?”
“We ordered some new replacements but they should hold together until then. Never take a deal that seems too good to be true son … in the end, you’ll pay for it.”
“Yes … I know what you mean.” The conversation suddenly got awkward and Addy looked for a way out. “Would you like a cup of coffee … I could use a cup of coffee.”
“Sure could. Here, you sit and I’ll make it. You’re the guest.”
Addy sat at the kitchen table. While they waited for the kettle to boil, the two men talked about nothing in particular. Something unsaid was lurking in the air and both men sensed it.
“So, how was the flight? I bet Kris was surprised to find himself here.”
“Oh yes … though surprised isn’t quite the word I’d use. More like confused.”
“Really? Well, I guess when you expect to wake up in Stockholm and you wake up in Conway, it could seem like a dream.”
“Yes, a dream.” Or a nightmare, the sheik said to himself. “Have you seen him yet this morning?”
“Yes and no. I saw him late last night when I got back. He was having trouble sleeping so I don’t expect he’ll be up til early afternoon.”
“Yes, well ….”
“Son, are you alright? You look kinda … I don’t know … upset.”
Addy rubbed his face with his hands.
“I’m not exactly upset Neil … I don’t know what I feel.”
Neil set down their coffee than took a seat beside the young man.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
He sure did but was it right to tell Neil exactly what he thought of his oldest son right now?
“Actually ….”
The phone interrupted them.
“Excuse me Addy … Hello? … Woah, woah! Danny calm down! … Okay, yeah I’m on my way.” Neil hung up the phone hard and headed for the front hallway and his coat.
Addy was on his heels.
“What’s wrong?”
“That blasted pipe we tried to patch up last night burst. Danny shut off the water but not before it flooded the basement. I knew it was a mistake to finish that space … I’m sorry Addy, he needs my help.”
“I … I could help.”
Anything to keep his mind of Kris.
“Well, don’t take this the wrong way son but ah … hard labor isn’t exactly your thing … I mean, you work in an office and ….”
“Did you forget I spent a month in Africa digging and repairing water wells?”
Neil chuckled as he did up his coat.
“Come to think of it, you do have experience. Sure, okay. We’ve got no time to change though,” Neil stressed, taking in the expensive yet casual clothes the other was wearing.
“That’s fine.” Addy reached for his own coat. “Let’s go.”
Just as they headed out the door, Neil made a u-turn and ran back to the kitchen table. Kim had gone to finish some last minute shopping so he left a note:
EMERGENCY AT DANNY’S … AGAIN. DON’T KNOW WHEN I’LL BE BACK.
With the note tucked under the half empty coffee cup, he and Addy hurried out to the pick-up. The passenger door opened and Addy found the seat already occupied with tools.
“Damn, I forgot about those. Here, it’ll only take a second,” Neil huffed, starting to move the obstacles.
“There isn’t time. I’ll take my rental car and follow.”
Neil just nodded and jumped in.
Addy ran to his car and did likewise.
Within a minute, both were gone.
Kris came downstairs to a strangely quiet house. As his foot hit the kitchen, he remembered his Mama mentioning she had some Christmas shopping to finish today. He made his way through the kitchen to the living room and noticed his Daddy’s coat wasn’t on the hook by the door.
So, he and Addy were alone.
Turning on his heel, he ran upstairs and knocked on his boyfriend’s bedroom door.
“Addy? You up?”
There was no answer so he knocked harder.
“Addy?”
Still no response.
Kris opened the door and found the room empty. His man’s clothes were still there but his man wasn’t.
“Oh no, no, no, no ….”
Running the stairs again, he bolted to the front door and flung it open.
Their rental car was gone.
Addy was gone.
