Long way from Conway (10/?)
A/N: HOLY KRADAM-this is the 10th chapter! Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :D Hope you enjoy!
Waking up on a Sunday morning with a hangover in only his boxers in Adam's room with Adam snuggled next to him sound asleep was not what Kris thought would be going on a week ago. Heck, not even yesterday had he seen this coming! Moaning in pain, Kris tapped Adam's shoulder.
"Adam, wake up."
Grumpy, Adam shook his head and cuddled closer.
"No Kris. No. Go back to bed."
"Adam, it's 9 in the morning and I have a hangover and I need help."
"Ask my mom."
"Adaaaaaaaaaaaam!!!!"
Groaning angrily, Adam hopped out of bed and grabbed the two little pills that were placed on his dresser and handed them to Kris.
"Take these. There's water on your nightstand."
"Thanks," Kris thankfully mumbled, swallowing the pills quickly. When done, he looked over at Adam and smiled. He was already dosing off again, his chest slowly rising and falling.
"Aww, you're so cute when you are going to sleep. Can I cuddle next to you?"
"Go ahead."
Through the silence of Adam resting, Kris slowly rubbed Adam's chest, hoping that what he was to ask Adam next wouldn't send him into a frenzy.
"Adam?"
"Kris I am two seconds away from punching you which I really don't want to do so please shut up and keep rubbing me. Please."
Kris pouted. Dang, come on!
"Adam, listen to me!" Kris yelled as he stopped rubbing Adam's chest. Yes, his head did hurt bad after yelling, but at that moment Kris was too mad at Adam to care. "Adam, I want to take you to Arkansas to meet Katy."
"WHAT?"
"OWWW!"
Kris held his head and glared at his boyfriend's shocked face. Why is that such a bad question to ask? I just want him to meet Katy! It's not like I'm gonna' marry her when we're there!!!!
"Kris," Adam began, looking deeply into Kris's chocolate eyes, "no. I don't want you to be anywhere near her."
"Why Adam?" Taking a strand of his hair from Adam's face, Kris placed a gentle kiss on his nose in hopes to sway him to say yes. "Why?"
"Babe, I just.......I don't want.....UGH why can't I just say it?"
"Adam, you can tell me anything. Come on."
"Kris," Adam mumbled tearfully, "I....I'm afraid."
"Of what? Katy's just a girl! What bad thing could she possibly do to you?"
"TAKE YOU AWAY FROM ME!"
With that, Adam ran from his room and probably went all the way into the kitchen. Of course, straight to Leila. Kris slowly got up and jogged out to the living room, seeing Neil sprawled out on the couch with a bowl of cheese puffs on his stomach watching a Lakers game.
"He went into the office by Mom," Neil managed to say through the cheese puffs in his mouth, "probably talking about you, so be careful not to make yourself known."
Nodding, Kris ran to the office, almost tripping a few times over a few boxes, until finally, he was there, seeing Adam crying on his Mom's shoulder.
"Mom, he wants me to meet Katy! The girl he loved to death in Arkansas! He LOVED her, Mom! Heck, how do I know he's not just going to leave me for her? We haven't been together long at all! What if he runs off with her? What if she decides to move here to L.A. and go to our school? Huh?"
Giggling at her irrational son, Leila patted Adam's back and kissed his forehead.
"You trust each other. Adam, after what you two have been through, I'm pretty sure Kris won't leave you. I mean, yeah, he could leave, but it would not be without a tough choice! It would be super hard to leave you. I mean, if I was him, I wouldn't leave you. You have done nothing but protect him and take care of him! Honey, you have done basically everything you could of done to show you do care. Just.....fight for him. Don't let him go so easily if he does fall for Katy again! You're strong! You can do it! I believe in you, hon. I truly do."
Tears were streaming from Kris's eyes as Adam and Leila hugged. So that's what he means, Kris thought to himself, he doesn't want to loose me to Katy!
"Thanks Mom," Adam said, "I love you so much!"
"I love you too, sweetie. now, go tell Kris you're okay with Katy coming and remember, fight!"
Adam giggled, pulling away from Leila and beginning to walk away. "Got it! Fight!"
Oh crap, Kris thought as he saw Adam begin to leave, he's coming!
As fast as he could, Kris sprinted through the house, running directly to the living room where he quickly plopped down on the couch next to Neil, making Neil's cheese puffs fly in the air and land on the floor soiled.
"DUDE," Neil angrily yelled as he looked down at the ground horrified by the mess, "YOU MADE ME DROP ALL OF MY-"
"SHHHHHH!" Kris instantly threw a pillow at Neil right when Adam walked in, having the room be utterly silent. Neil looked to Adam and rolled his eyes, now knowing what was up with Kris.
"Ohhhh, I see! You-"
"Shut up Neil," Kris growled, threatening Neil with another pillow, "I will hit you again!"
"What the hell is going on here?" Adam asked, looking between the two confused.
"Kris-"
"Nothing," Kris interrupted, "nothing at all. Just watching the Lakers and Celtics together."
"But-"
"Nothing Neil! Nothing!"
Still in confusion, Adam looked to Kris and motioned with his head for Kris to follow him before going to his room. Before following, Kris glared at Neil and stepped on one of the puffs.
"Good luck cleaning that up, Neil!"
"WHAT?"
"Good luck! Bye Neil!!!!!!"
So, Kris left the shocked Neil to clean and ran straight to Adam. Walking in, Kris saw Adam biting his lip and sitting on the bed, looking directly at Kris with a nervous look on his face that screamed "I don't want to do this" and "I love you".
"Come sit, Kris."
Kris sat.
"Kris......I'll meet Katy. I guess I'm just a bit afraid of loosing you to her. I mean.....I love you and I just got you. I don't want you to go. You're mine, and I want it to stay like that forever, if possible. I love you, Kristopher, and as much as it's hard for you to say it to my face, you love me too! I know it for sure!"
"How?" Kris questioned Adam. "How do you know it for sure, Adam?"
Sighing, Adam wrapped his arm around Kris and pulled him close. "You told me."
Kris laughed. "When?"
"Last night."
The room instantly fell silent, only the shaky breaths of the boys filling the room. After a minute of this, Kris broke the silence.
"Adam, I was drunk. There's no way that that was a reliable statement. Seriously." Why must he talk about this? Gosh, I need to get him off this subject.
Nice try pretty boy but I know you do, Adam thought as he looked into Kris's eyes deeply, I can see it in your eyes. Pretty boys never can hide from me.
"I see what you're doin' Kristopher and I promise you it won't work! I can see right through you." Adam poked a finger into Kris's shoulder playfully. "You know yourself that you do in fact love me! Your drunken self just told me the truth because you couldn't! That's all!"
Kris got up and headed for the door, putting on the most mad face Adam had seen in a while. "I'm leaving Adam. Maybe Katy is the best for me." Bwahahaha, this will hopefully change the subject!
"Kris, don't you dare leave this room! Please! I'm sorry....I shouldn't be prodding into this like I am! I'm sorry! Just....don't leave."
Slowly he turned around and faced Adam, actually seeing that his plan to change the subject was working. Yes!
"Why can't I? You really don't care about my feelings anyway. Katy didn't need me to say I loved her. She let me take my time to say it. Unlike you, who is using something I said while I was drunk and unable to control my words to harass me into saying I love you! I have many reasons to leave this room right now and go to Katy!"
"But you have one reason why you should stay."
"Why is that? Give me that one reason if you please!" Kris snapped back. Man, this is working!!!!
Suddenly, Adam's face sunk and became utterly vulnerable, tears in his eyes and a pleading look plastering his face. Kris instantly felt greatly guilty for what he had just done. Oh no, I hurt him! Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!
"Because I love you too much. More than anything. I....I don't want to loose you. I guess in my mind I have to hear you love me so that I feel you won't leave me when Katy comes. I'm s-sorry K-kris....please....just don't leave me for Katy. I'll do anything for you. Anything. I love you Kris.......I do."
Kris was silent, biting his lip and mentally punching himself for doing that to Adam. Nice job jerk! Now he's dying cause of what you did to him! Smart! You're gonna' owe him so much later! Suddenly, Adam began to sing to Kris, tears streaming down his face, ruining his already smeared eyeliner and sending it flying down his face.
"Don't know much about your life. Don't know much about your world, but, don't want to be alone tonight on this planet they call Earth..." Adam got up and took Kris's hands in his, fighting back sobs in his chest.
Kris gulped, in pure awe of Adam. He, until then, never knew Adam could sing. Yes, they had music class, but they never sang in it yet. It was almost stunning to hear Adam sing, the presence he had on you as he sang, and Kris couldn't help but feel guilty and fall even more in love with Adam and his voice. Adam then continued.
"You don't know about my past, and, I don't have a future figured out. And maybe this is going too fast-" Adam gently let out a sob there, deep in his mind knowing that, yes, it seemed like this was going all too fast. They had already been sleeping together for crap sake! Engaged couples don't even usually sleep together in the same bed until they're married! Some don't even do that! Adam quickly shut his eyes tight and then re-opened them to the sight of Kris staring at him in awe. Adam continued. "...and maybe it's not meant to last....but what do you say to takin' chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge? Never knowing if there's solid ground below, or hand to hold, or hell to pay, what do you say?" Adam gulped and kissed Kris's hands softly, treasuring every touch. For the final words he sang, all were spoken, each one filled with his love and his soul, yet in the tone of a whisper.
"What do you say?"
Kris was frozen, holding back tears and staring down at this beautiful man, his eyes captured in his beauty, who just seemed to be his forever. Clearing his throat, Kris began to sing where the song left off, looking directly into Adam's crystal blue eyes with all the love and apologies he could give. Hopefully, Adam felt the love Kris wanted him to.
"I just want to start again, and maybe you could show me how to try, and maybe you could take me in, somewhere underneath your skin?" Kris giggled and placed his hands around Adam's waist. "What do you say to taking chances? What do you say to jumping off the edge? Never knowing if there's solid ground below or hand to hold, or hell to pay, what do you say, what do you say?"
Adam then smiled and let loose with his vocals, realizing Kris was his again and that by the looks of it, the two were going to be together for a long long while.
"And I had my heart beating down, but I always come back for more, yeah! There's nothing like love to pull you up, when you're laying down on the floor there! So talk to me, talk to me, like lovers do. Yeah walk with me, walk with me, like lovers do!"
Kris then joined him, cuddling close to Adam and belting out the words just like Adam had.
"Like lovers do!"
They then sang the chorus again, both intertwined in their arms and looking at each other with all the love in the world. Finally came the end, and Kris knew exactly what he had to do after he sang this last sentence.
"Don't know much about your life.....don't know much about your world..."
Kris immediately crushed his lips on to Adam's, making sure that Adam understood just what he wanted to say. Oh come on Kris, say it! Don't be such a woos and just freakin tell him!
"I love you," he blurted out after the kiss broke. Adam gasped a little, his mind just registering what had just happened. He said it. Kris flippin Allen said I love you to me.......JERK SAY IT BACK ALREADY!
Pulling him in for a kiss, Adam nuzzled Kris's face in his hand and made sure they were as close as possible before he replied.
"I love you too, Kristopher. I truly do. More than anything."
"Forever?" Kris mumbled, placing a tiny insecure kiss to Adam's lips.
"Forever baby. No matter what." Suddenly, it turned into a full make out session, Kris making sure to kiss every square inch of Adam's lips and not leave one freckle behind. Adam made sure that Kris felt his love for him by kissing him as lovingly and gently as possible, yet still passionately.
"Adam," Kris choked out, "should I still call Katy?"
Smirking, Adam nodded and laid Kris down on the bed, laying next to him, smirk still in place.
"Later."
"Adam....what are you doing...."
Adam kissed Kris and giggled, his voice sounding low and scruffy.
"Showing how much I love you, sweet thang."
