Adam parked his car in the school park loft and looked at this watch. It was almost an hour until the meeting started. He was never on time, always way too early. He would rather be early than late, he hated being late.
He was thinking about staying in the car, maybe reading some of the papers he wanted to read at home. But he remembered that there was coffee inside the building and he needed one so bad. It was a long day full of meetings and so much talking.
He got out of his car and walked to the school building. Once he was in he walked to the cafeteria. There was a coffee dispenser and he pushed the button for a huge espresso after inserting some coins. He took the first sip out of the paper cup and had to grimace at the bitter taste. It was just awful, but there was caffeine in it. It would have to do until he could get something better later.
He turned around to walk over to the room the meeting should be at. He was sure he could wait there for the other parents to arrive.
While he turned around the corner he collided with someone smaller coming his way. The rest of his coffee spilled over his hand and the sudden heat made him hiss and drop the cup.
“Fuck, I mean… sorry, I didn’t see you.”
The man who ran into him was looking down while the cup was falling to the floor. Obviously he wanted to pick the cup up and Adam had the same idea. They both bent down at the same time and promptly collided heads.
“Ow! Ok I'll get the cup, please stay up.” Adam said with a small laugh and got down on his knee to get the cup.
He also took a tissue out of his pocket to wipe the remains of his coffee from the floor. He was getting up and while doing so he looked up and saw the face of the man he collided with for the first time. And when he finally met the other man’s eyes he let go of the cup for the second time. They were both staring at each other for a few minutes.
Then Adam found his voice again and whispered: “What took you so long TJ?”
Wow that was so not what he wanted to say out loud.
He cleared his throat and tried again.
“Sorry, I’m confused. You just look like somebody I used to know.”
He could feel a blush creeping up his face while he rubbed his hand over his neck.
Damn, when did he turn into a teenager again?
“I’m Adam Lambert, by the way. Sorry for running into you and all…”
He couldn’t take his eyes of those eyes. He could really swear it was TJ. And then the man in front of him smiled just a little - and that was so familiar too - and stretched his hand towards Adam.
“Hey! Once it was TJ, now I prefer Mr. Ratliff at school and Tommy in private.”
When Adam took his hand, his smile grew deeper.
“And believe me I was trying really hard to find you sooner.”
Adam gaped at him with an opened mouth. He couldn’t believe it: Mr. Ratliff was his TJ, his daughter’s first crush was also his first crush. He blushed even more when he realized that he was still holding TJ’s… no, Tommy’s hand.
“Wow… this is… wow.”
He didn’t know what to say. Tommy smiled sheepishly.
“Yeah, I know, I know…”
And then out of nowhere there were other parents in the hall. Adam almost let out a frustrated groan as they finally let go and Tommy mouthed “later”.
-----
Tommy watched his face in the mirror.
What does Adam see when he looks at him after all those years?
He was not a kid anymore and time didn’t stop. He washed his face with some cold water avoiding his eyes. He didn’t want eyeliner running down his face while he talked to Adam. When he looked up in the mirror again he saw his face like it was 20 years ago. A shy kid looked back with a small smile. And the memories flooded his brain.
He was suddenly back in the camp. He was lying with Adam on the dock. Their heads were side by side, their legs in the cool water. Everything was quiet, just some kids playing in the water in the distance. Tommy turned his face towards Adam. He was sleeping, his breath ghosting over Tommy’s cheek. Tommy took his time to watch Adam. He was so beautiful it almost hurt to look at him. His lips were parted and Tommy wished he would be bold enough to kiss the small freckles above them. He imagined how it would be to kiss Adam. His lips looked so soft, like they were made to be kissed.
Tommy shook his head while his mind drifted back to the small bathroom behind the music room. He should get out, Adam was waiting for him.
All the parents were waiting for him.
He excused himself the second they all walked in the room to have a few minutes to get a grip and to be able to talk about school issues. Because he might have been a shy teenager but he was sure as hell not so shy anymore. And his mind was working through images of himself pressed against a wall while Adam was kissing and groping him…
He shook his head again. He needed to calm down. Adam was now a parent and he should be able to handle this professionally. One more deep breath and he felt ready enough to face the world outside again.
He came out in the room and tried very hard not to look at Adam the whole time.
How was it even possible that he was still so magical? He was cute as hell 20 years ago and now he was hot as hell!
Tommy focused his eyes on one of the mothers to be able to get through the meeting. Finally his nerves were settling and he went over the ideas he had for the music class. Talking about music was always a good distraction.
An hour later he felt almost normal, maybe also because he avoided looking at Adam. The other parents left after taking their turns to talk to him personally for a few minutes. He was amazed that they didn’t have any problems with his look. He was not a typical teacher after all. But they were all very friendly and excited for the show they wanted to prepare together. He couldn’t stop himself from smiling.
He was still smiling when Adam was standing in front of him. And they were alone. All his thoughts and feelings suddenly stopped and his body was only filled with burning desire. And that was so good and so, so bad!
Somewhere in the back of his mind he knew that he should say something. But his body didn’t function at all. All he wanted was to touch and kiss. He knew that this was wrong. They haven’t seen each other in nearly twenty years. Maybe Adam wasn’t a nice person now and maybe it was not such a good idea to have something with a parent while he was a teacher here. But all those thoughts went to hell the second Adam moved closer and cupped his face. His eyes mirrored all the feelings Tommy had. He was lost and he didn’t complain at all when Adam pulled him closer. And then they were kissing; hungry, wet and completely out of control.
After a few minutes Adam pulled away just enough to be able to talk.
“Tommy, maybe we should slow down…” he managed to get out between kisses.
Tommy knew they should. There was not the place for this to go on.
“Yeah, we should. Just… one more kiss…”
It was addicting to kiss Adam. They snapped out of the kiss when they heard a door being slammed somewhere down the hall. They were both breathing hard, eyes wide open. Tommy touched Adam’s cheek softly.
“Let's get out of here.”
Adam nodded, completely flustered.
“I live only five minutes from here. Can you follow me with your car?”
Adam nodded again. Tommy made sure to turn off all lights and to lock the door. Adam was right beside him the whole time. They didn’t talk. There was just action.
Then Tommy was in his car and Adam was driving behind him. And finally Tommy had some time on his own without the intoxicant presence of Adam.
What was he even thinking?
He didn’t know Adam and yet he kissed him and he was about to get him in his apartment. That was so crazy and so good!
After all those years there was still this connection between them. They didn’t act on it then. There were many reasons. But Tommy could remember how it felt to touch Adam’s skin the evening he gave him the necklace. He could feel Adam trembling under the touch. The connection, the desire was there; just as powerful as he felt that night.
But they should talk first, they should get to know each other, they should date. It could end so badly.
Tommy remembered how brokenhearted he was when he couldn’t get in contact with Adam. The number Adam gave him didn’t work when he tried to call a month after they parted. There was no other way to get a hold of Adam. The phone number was the last string between them and then it was broken. Even if it was just a crush, something that didn’t get him anywhere, his heart was really broken.
He kept looking for Adam over the years. He didn’t even admit it to himself, but every time he heard the name Adam his heart skipped a bit. It was stupid to hang on that first crush, he knew that. But he just wished he would know what it was to kiss Adam. Maybe then he would have been able to let it go all those years ago.
Tommy sighed. Now that he knew how it was to kiss Adam he knew that he would have been craving even more. Because he didn’t know how he would be able to let Adam go now.
---
Adam was trying to calm down.
What did just happen?
He kissed a man in a classroom, in his daughter’s school! He kissed her teacher! He kissed her first crush!
He groaned. That was so out of touch, so not the reasonable Adam he was the last few years. And still, he wanted it so much. Just this one time he wanted to be Adam, a boy who wants to kiss and touch his first crush. He didn’t want to be sane tonight. He just wanted to get Tommy naked and get nasty.
The small voice in the back of his mind, telling him that maybe that could be a mistake just needed to shut up. He wanted to take a risk and do what he wanted to do all those years ago when he was young and free. He could pretend for just one night that he was free and that life was easy.
He sighed. Tommy could easily turn into an addiction for him. The kisses were so amazing. He just wanted to kiss Tommy all night.
----
Tommy stopped his car in front of an apartment house. Adam parked behind him and took a deep breath before he climbed out of his car.
Tommy was standing there, waiting. And he was so hot; Adam had problems to even breathe. He walked closer and Tommy smiled. He didn’t even know how much he missed that smile.
“Do you want a coffee?” Tommy smirked.
“Or do you need to go back home?” The smirk disappeared.
“No, Sarah is staying with my mother tonight. I’m free.”
Tommy smiled again and walked over to the building and Adam was right behind him. Tonight he ignored the angel on his shoulder and high fived the devil.
Or was it the other way around?
He walked behind Tommy in the building and stepped with him in the elevator.
____
There were still freckles all over Adam’s face. He was fascinated by them then and he was still now. They seemed to cover Adam like glitter or small stars. He had to grin about how sappy he was.
Tommy shook his head trying to clear his mind. He had to bite away laugh thinking about last night. After they stumbled into his apartment there were more kisses and hungry hands and then out of nowhere they were laughing like maniacs.
They ended up on Tommy’s bed and talked for hours, about everything and nothing. It seemed like they never did part. Like they were still the same boys they were all those years ago.
Maybe they really were still like then.
Tommy smiled while he let his eyes wonder over Adam’s beautiful face. He couldn’t bring himself to think it might be creepy to watch Adam while he was asleep. There were a few lines on Adam’s face too, but they made him even more beautiful, more interesting. Tommy wanted to know who or what put which of them on Adam’s face.
He was still smiling when he got up to make that coffee they talked about to have together last night.
While the coffee was running through the machine Tommy tried to calm down.
It was crazy to think that this could be something he wanted, he needed, something he craved for years. But still it was like that: he was searching for Adam for years. He hoped even if his head told him to forget about that crush, to forget about Adam, that somewhere Adam was thinking about him too.
But what now?
He never thought about what would happen when he would see Adam again. His thoughts always ending when they met again, just like in a romance movie. No one wants to see what it’s like after the couple gets together. No one wants to see the everyday life.
But Tommy wanted it. He was surprised that he was able to actually think about having that with Adam. But he needed to calm down before he'd get his hopes up. Still…
No he should stop imagine how it would be to have Adam every day in his bed, preferably naked. He really wanted to get Adam naked. No! He needed to get Adam naked. Just to see if there are parts of his body where he didn’t have any freckles.
Tommy decided that it was time to bring Adam some coffee. Just to see his eyes again, because beside the freckles those eyes had haunted him for years.
_____
Coffee… He could smell coffee. But why did he smell coffee? Nobody has made him coffee for years. But yeah this was coffee.
Adam moaned even before he opened his eyes. He heard a chuckle and his eyes flew open. Right in front of him was TJ, or better known as Tommy Joe Ratliff. And Tommy had a mug of coffee in his hand and it was obviously meant for Adam. Adam wanted to marry him right away.
He took the mug and closed his eyes while he let the scent wake him up. Then he decided that maybe it would be easier to wake up when he’d drink some of that wonderful coffee. As soon as the coffee started to work he remembered falling asleep before anything happened between him and Tommy.
Oh, damn!
He growled.
“I fell asleep on you, didn’t I?”
Tommy chuckled again. “Yup, you did.”
Adam covered his face in his hands and murmured an apology behind his fingers. Tommy took one of his hands.
“Hey, we had a nice night talk last night. And who knows maybe it was better that way.”
Adam smiled at that.
“I still can’t believe that you're you. I mean that you're the teacher my daughter has been talking about for weeks. Ok, she stopped recently, because now she's talking about Justin or Jason or Trevor, I don’t even know. Oh my, I probably shouldn’t tell you that. She'll kill me.”
Adam put his face back in his hands and Tommy was laughing.
“I won’t tell her anything, I promise.”
They giggled both at that.
Suddenly there was silence between them and it started to get awkward. When Adam looked up, Tommy’s face was serious.
“What is wrong?” Adam was curious.
Tommy shrugged and took a sip out of his cup. He sighed.
“I called you, you know. But the number didn’t work.”
Adam was confused. “I gave you my number? I can’t remember. I was thinking about the reason why we didn’t exchange any contact possibilities. I gave you my number?”
Tommy nodded. He took another sip.
“Yeah, you gave me a piece of paper with your number and I promised you to call you when I would be back at home. So I tried it out a month later, after I finally got home. But it didn’t work.”
Tommy’s voice was suddenly small and shy. Adam was trying to think about what happened and then he finally remembered. Yeah, he came back from the camp to find out that his parents decided to get divorced and he moved to another house with his mother. They changed the phone number then.
Fuck!
“Tommy, I’m sorry. My parents, they got divorced after I got back and then we moved and changed the number. It must have been right at that time.”
Adam took Tommy’s hand.
“I’m sorry, Tommy. All the time we lost!”
Tommy shook his head. “It was a just unfortunate bit of circumstance, that’s all.”
They looked in each other eyes and put their foreheads together.
“I just should have given you my number. But I thought it was pointless since I was about to go to my grandparents and I didn’t know when I would be back at home.”
Tommy let his fingers trace over Adam’s face down to his lips. Adam could feel his heart in his throat. Tommy still had this effect on him. He wanted to melt into Tommy’s touch. But then a part of him remembered that unlike twenty years ago he had a kid now and he had to make sure she was fine. He pulled away from Tommy’s touch and took his hand to put a kiss in the palm. Tommy shivered.
“I need to make a call. Sarah is with my mother today, but I need to talk to her. Can you give me five minutes? I’ll be right back.”
Tommy nodded smiling at Adam.
Adam got up and made the call.
“Morning, mom, is Sarah already up?”
She was still sleeping.
“Can you tell her I'll come to get her tonight? Is that still ok with you?”
His mother agreed and Adam hung up. He walked to the bathroom to take a leak and to wash his face. He felt so surreal being here with Tommy. He wanted to stay and spend the day with Tommy. He hoped Tommy had time.
When he got back to Tommy’s bedroom, Tommy was sitting on his bed and waiting for him.
“I have time until tonight, if you want…” Adam was getting nervous.
Tommy got up so he was kneeling on the bed in front of Adam.
“I want, whatever you want to give me, I want it.”
He pulled Adam closer so he had no other choice than kneeling in front of Tommy on the bed. Tommy let his hands travel under Adam’s shirt, pulling it up.
“I’ve always had a weak spot for your freckles. I always wanted to know, if they are everywhere.”
Adam snorted. “Yeah, they are everywhere.”
Tommy smirked. “I need to see.”
He pulled Adam’s shirt over his head and exposed Adam’s freckly chest.
When he looked back at Adam after throwing the shirt to the ground he had to smile. He held his hand out to trace over the necklace Adam was wearing.
“You kept it?”
Adam blushed when he realized he was still wearing Tommy’s necklace.
“Um… I.”
Tommy sat back and reached down under the bed. When he got up again he was holding a shirt in his hands.
“If it makes you feel better: I kept the shirt you gave me that summer. You remember it?”
He straightened the shirt in front of Adam’s face. It was his old Queen-Shirt.
Adam had to laugh about that. Tommy put the shirt away.
“Hey at least I wasn’t wearing it. That would have been pathetic.”
Adam laughed and Tommy added. “I would have but I didn’t want it to wash out.”
He put his face in his hands and mumbled through his fingers. “I can’t believe I actually told you that.”
Adam pulled Tommy’s hands away from his face and cupped his face in his palms.
“How can you still be so magical?”
His thumbs stroked over Tommy’s lips and Tommy’s breath caught in his throat. Adam leaned down and kissed him gentle while his fingers traveled down Tommy’s back and drew him closer to Adam’s body. Tommy pulled away and panted against Adam’s lips.
“God, I want you! So much!”
Tommy pushed Adam down on his back and climbed on top of him. He let his hands wander over Adam’s chest while his eyes were counting the freckles there. Adam sighed softly while he let his body burrow further into the mattress. Tommy leaned down and let his tongue flick over Adam’s nipple. Adam grabbed Tommy’s ass and dug his fingers into the cheeks. This brought their cocks together and both hissed at the contact.
Tommy started to move his hips against Adam’s and Adam thrust up. They kept rubbing against each other until Tommy stilled. Adam looked up and whined.
“I need to feel skin, your skin. Please, Adam.”
Adam nodded. “Yeah, let’s get naked.”
Pants were pulled down quickly, underwear following in a rush. So quickly in fact it seemed as if they were charmed off until their naked groins were rubbing against each other. And that was so much better: hot, slick with pre-come and so, so good. They couldn’t seem to stop moving against each other and Adam parted Tommy’s cheeks with his hands and let his thumb stroke over Tommy’s hole. Then he put his thumb in Tommy’s mouth and let him suck on it. He put it back against Tommy’s hole and let the tip slide in while he was still thrusting against Tommy. It was all that Tommy needed and he was coming, spreading hot come over Adam’s cock.
The friction become delicious for Adam and his cock was sliding through the mess they made. All it took to throw Adam over the edge was a soft touch of Tommy’s finger against his cock head. He came with a groan and let his head fall back against the pillows.
“Wow, I haven’t come like that since I was twenty or something.” Adam was laughing between harsh pants.
Tommy grinned and bit in Adam’s jaw. “Yeah, I guess we traveled back in time to have together what we missed then?”
They smiled at each other and shared lazy kisses.
___
Adam couldn’t stop grinning while he was on his way to get Sarah from his mother. It was like Tommy and he were never apart. Tommy was still totally easy to be around. Adam hoped they could see each other soon. They haven’t exactly talked about what would happen between them.
Adam had to bite another smile away remembering how much fun he had just making out with Tommy. It was really like they were teenagers again, back on the dock at the lake.
He got out of his car and rang the bell. His mother opened the door. She looked at him, smiled, looked away and then back at him with wide eyes.
“What?”
He was getting annoyed while she smirked.
“It just makes me smile to see you with a hickey. I don’t even remember when I saw something like that on you the last time.”
Now it was his turn to look at her with wide eyes.
“Oh, my! Where is it? I need to…”
But he was interrupted when Sarah came out to him.
“Dad, you won’t believe what happened. Claire, this stupid cow, she kissed Jason. I hate her! She was supposed to be my friend and she knew I liked him.”
And Adam was trying to think about the new names, because wasn’t Jessica Sarah’s best friend and who was Jason?
“Oh my God! Dad, is this a hickey?”
Sarah moved closer to take a better look at Adam’s neck.
“It is! You have a hickey! I can’t believe that.”
She was laughing so hard right in his face and he wished she was still five years old. She looked up and down his neck as if she tried to find more hickeys and he felt himself blushing under her stare. That was so humiliating!
He looked over at his mother but judging on her expression she was not about to help him out here.
“Dad, are you seeing someone? Who is it? Is he cute?”
Sarah jumped excited in front of him. He rolled his eyes and pushed past her to be able to close the door behind them.
“Dad?”
Fuck, she was really nosy!
He closed his eyes and asked himself silently why she made him feel like a teenager again, like he did something wrong and had to apologize. That was crazy! When he looked at her again, she was standing in front of him, her arms crossed in front of her and her foot was tipping against the floor. Adam rolled his eyes at that.
“I met someone. I just don’t know where this will end up, it’s kinda fresh now?”
Sarah nodded. “Do you like him? Is he cute?”
Adam smiled at that. “Yes and yes. Very cute actually.”
Sarah giggled. “When will you introduce me to him?”
Adam sighed. “Sarah, I don’t know.”
Her expression changed and she was actually pouting.
“Please?”
Adam sighed loudly. “When the time is right, I'll bring him home, ok?”
Sarah nodded. “Okay, for now.”
Adam sighed in relief and was about to walk to his mother’s kitchen when Sarah called him back. He turned around and she looked at him with a serious expression.
“Just promise me to be safe. You know, use condoms.”
Adam let his face fall in his hands, while his mother laughed.
How was this even his life?

But he just wished he would know what it was to kiss Adam. Maybe then he would have been able to let it go all those years ago.
Tommy sighed. Now that he knew how it was to kiss Adam he knew that he would have been craving even more. Because he didn’t know how he would be able to let Adam go now.
---
Adam was trying to calm down.
What did just happen?
He kissed a man in a classroom, in his daughter’s school! He kissed her teacher! He kissed her first crush!
He groaned. That was so out of touch, so not the reasonable Adam he was the last few years. And still, he wanted it so much. Just this one time he wanted to be Adam, a boy who wants to kiss and touch his first crush. He didn’t want to be sane tonight. He just wanted to get Tommy naked and get nasty.
The small voice in the back of his mind, telling him that maybe that could be a mistake just needed to shut up. He wanted to take a risk and do what he wanted to do all those years ago when he was young and free. He could pretend for just one night that he was free and that life was easy.
He sighed. Tommy could easily turn into an addiction for him. The kisses were so amazing. He just wanted to kiss Tommy all night.
----
Tommy stopped his car in front of an apartment house. Adam parked behind him and took a deep breath before he climbed out of his car.
Tommy was standing there, waiting. And he was so hot; Adam had problems to even breathe. He walked closer and Tommy smiled. He didn’t even know how much he missed that smile.
“Do you want a coffee?” Tommy smirked.
“Or do you need to go back home?” The smirk disappeared.
“No, Sarah is staying with my mother tonight. I’m free.”
Tommy smiled again and walked over to the building and Adam was right behind him. Tonight he ignored the angel on his shoulder and high fived the devil.
Or was it the other way around?
He walked behind Tommy in the building and stepped with him in the elevator.
____
There were still freckles all over Adam’s face. He was fascinated by them then and he was still now. They seemed to cover Adam like glitter or small stars. He had to grin about how sappy he was.
Tommy shook his head trying to clear his mind. He had to bite away laugh thinking about last night. After they stumbled into his apartment there were more kisses and hungry hands and then out of nowhere they were laughing like maniacs.
They ended up on Tommy’s bed and talked for hours, about everything and nothing. It seemed like they never did part. Like they were still the same boys they were all those years ago.
Maybe they really were still like then.
Tommy smiled while he let his eyes wonder over Adam’s beautiful face. He couldn’t bring himself to think it might be creepy to watch Adam while he was asleep. There were a few lines on Adam’s face too, but they made him even more beautiful, more interesting. Tommy wanted to know who or what put which of them on Adam’s face.
He was still smiling when he got up to make that coffee they talked about to have together last night.
While the coffee was running through the machine Tommy tried to calm down.
It was crazy to think that this could be something he wanted, he needed, something he craved for years. But still it was like that: he was searching for Adam for years. He hoped even if his head told him to forget about that crush, to forget about Adam, that somewhere Adam was thinking about him too.
But what now?
He never thought about what would happen when he would see Adam again. His thoughts always ending when they met again, just like in a romance movie. No one wants to see what it’s like after the couple gets together. No one wants to see the everyday life.
But Tommy wanted it. He was surprised that he was able to actually think about having that with Adam. But he needed to calm down before he'd get his hopes up. Still…
No he should stop imagine how it would be to have Adam every day in his bed, preferably naked. He really wanted to get Adam naked. No! He needed to get Adam naked. Just to see if there are parts of his body where he didn’t have any freckles.
Tommy decided that it was time to bring Adam some coffee. Just to see his eyes again, because beside the freckles those eyes had haunted him for years.
_____
Coffee… He could smell coffee. But why did he smell coffee? Nobody has made him coffee for years. But yeah this was coffee.
Adam moaned even before he opened his eyes. He heard a chuckle and his eyes flew open. Right in front of him was TJ, or better known as Tommy Joe Ratliff. And Tommy had a mug of coffee in his hand and it was obviously meant for Adam. Adam wanted to marry him right away.
He took the mug and closed his eyes while he let the scent wake him up. Then he decided that maybe it would be easier to wake up when he’d drink some of that wonderful coffee. As soon as the coffee started to work he remembered falling asleep before anything happened between him and Tommy.
Oh, damn!
He growled.
“I fell asleep on you, didn’t I?”
Tommy chuckled again. “Yup, you did.”
Adam covered his face in his hands and murmured an apology behind his fingers. Tommy took one of his hands.
“Hey, we had a nice night talk last night. And who knows maybe it was better that way.”
Adam smiled at that.
“I still can’t believe that you're you. I mean that you're the teacher my daughter has been talking about for weeks. Ok, she stopped recently, because now she's talking about Justin or Jason or Trevor, I don’t even know. Oh my, I probably shouldn’t tell you that. She'll kill me.”
Adam put his face back in his hands and Tommy was laughing.
“I won’t tell her anything, I promise.”
They giggled both at that.
Suddenly there was silence between them and it started to get awkward. When Adam looked up, Tommy’s face was serious.
“What is wrong?” Adam was curious.
Tommy shrugged and took a sip out of his cup. He sighed.
“I called you, you know. But the number didn’t work.”
Adam was confused. “I gave you my number? I can’t remember. I was thinking about the reason why we didn’t exchange any contact possibilities. I gave you my number?”
Tommy nodded. He took another sip.
“Yeah, you gave me a piece of paper with your number and I promised you to call you when I would be back at home. So I tried it out a month later, after I finally got home. But it didn’t work.”
Tommy’s voice was suddenly small and shy. Adam was trying to think about what happened and then he finally remembered. Yeah, he came back from the camp to find out that his parents decided to get divorced and he moved to another house with his mother. They changed the phone number then.
Fuck!
“Tommy, I’m sorry. My parents, they got divorced after I got back and then we moved and changed the number. It must have been right at that time.”
Adam took Tommy’s hand.
“I’m sorry, Tommy. All the time we lost!”
Tommy shook his head. “It was a just unfortunate bit of circumstance, that’s all.”
They looked in each other eyes and put their foreheads together.
“I just should have given you my number. But I thought it was pointless since I was about to go to my grandparents and I didn’t know when I would be back at home.”
Tommy let his fingers trace over Adam’s face down to his lips. Adam could feel his heart in his throat. Tommy still had this effect on him. He wanted to melt into Tommy’s touch. But then a part of him remembered that unlike twenty years ago he had a kid now and he had to make sure she was fine. He pulled away from Tommy’s touch and took his hand to put a kiss in the palm. Tommy shivered.
“I need to make a call. Sarah is with my mother today, but I need to talk to her. Can you give me five minutes? I’ll be right back.”
Tommy nodded smiling at Adam.
Adam got up and made the call.
“Morning, mom, is Sarah already up?”
She was still sleeping.
“Can you tell her I'll come to get her tonight? Is that still ok with you?”
His mother agreed and Adam hung up. He walked to the bathroom to take a leak and to wash his face. He felt so surreal being here with Tommy. He wanted to stay and spend the day with Tommy. He hoped Tommy had time.
When he got back to Tommy’s bedroom, Tommy was sitting on his bed and waiting for him.
“I have time until tonight, if you want…” Adam was getting nervous.
Tommy got up so he was kneeling on the bed in front of Adam.
“I want, whatever you want to give me, I want it.”
He pulled Adam closer so he had no other choice than kneeling in front of Tommy on the bed. Tommy let his hands travel under Adam’s shirt, pulling it up.
“I’ve always had a weak spot for your freckles. I always wanted to know, if they are everywhere.”
Adam snorted. “Yeah, they are everywhere.”
Tommy smirked. “I need to see.”
He pulled Adam’s shirt over his head and exposed Adam’s freckly chest.
When he looked back at Adam after throwing the shirt to the ground he had to smile. He held his hand out to trace over the necklace Adam was wearing.
“You kept it?”
Adam blushed when he realized he was still wearing Tommy’s necklace.
“Um… I.”
Tommy sat back and reached down under the bed. When he got up again he was holding a shirt in his hands.
“If it makes you feel better: I kept the shirt you gave me that summer. You remember it?”
He straightened the shirt in front of Adam’s face. It was his old Queen-Shirt.
Adam had to laugh about that. Tommy put the shirt away.
“Hey at least I wasn’t wearing it. That would have been pathetic.”
Adam laughed and Tommy added. “I would have but I didn’t want it to wash out.”
He put his face in his hands and mumbled through his fingers. “I can’t believe I actually told you that.”
Adam pulled Tommy’s hands away from his face and cupped his face in his palms.
“How can you still be so magical?”
His thumbs stroked over Tommy’s lips and Tommy’s breath caught in his throat. Adam leaned down and kissed him gentle while his fingers traveled down Tommy’s back and drew him closer to Adam’s body. Tommy pulled away and panted against Adam’s lips.
“God, I want you! So much!”
Tommy pushed Adam down on his back and climbed on top of him. He let his hands wander over Adam’s chest while his eyes were counting the freckles there. Adam sighed softly while he let his body burrow further into the mattress. Tommy leaned down and let his tongue flick over Adam’s nipple. Adam grabbed Tommy’s ass and dug his fingers into the cheeks. This brought their cocks together and both hissed at the contact.
Tommy started to move his hips against Adam’s and Adam thrust up. They kept rubbing against each other until Tommy stilled. Adam looked up and whined.
“I need to feel skin, your skin. Please, Adam.”
Adam nodded. “Yeah, let’s get naked.”
Pants were pulled down quickly, underwear following in a rush. So quickly in fact it seemed as if they were charmed off until their naked groins were rubbing against each other. And that was so much better: hot, slick with pre-come and so, so good. They couldn’t seem to stop moving against each other and Adam parted Tommy’s cheeks with his hands and let his thumb stroke over Tommy’s hole. Then he put his thumb in Tommy’s mouth and let him suck on it. He put it back against Tommy’s hole and let the tip slide in while he was still thrusting against Tommy. It was all that Tommy needed and he was coming, spreading hot come over Adam’s cock.
The friction become delicious for Adam and his cock was sliding through the mess they made. All it took to throw Adam over the edge was a soft touch of Tommy’s finger against his cock head. He came with a groan and let his head fall back against the pillows.
“Wow, I haven’t come like that since I was twenty or something.” Adam was laughing between harsh pants.
Tommy grinned and bit in Adam’s jaw. “Yeah, I guess we traveled back in time to have together what we missed then?”
They smiled at each other and shared lazy kisses.
___
Adam couldn’t stop grinning while he was on his way to get Sarah from his mother. It was like Tommy and he were never apart. Tommy was still totally easy to be around. Adam hoped they could see each other soon. They haven’t exactly talked about what would happen between them.
Adam had to bite another smile away remembering how much fun he had just making out with Tommy. It was really like they were teenagers again, back on the dock at the lake.
He got out of his car and rang the bell. His mother opened the door. She looked at him, smiled, looked away and then back at him with wide eyes.
“What?”
He was getting annoyed while she smirked.
“It just makes me smile to see you with a hickey. I don’t even remember when I saw something like that on you the last time.”
Now it was his turn to look at her with wide eyes.
“Oh, my! Where is it? I need to…”
But he was interrupted when Sarah came out to him.
“Dad, you won’t believe what happened. Claire, this stupid cow, she kissed Jason. I hate her! She was supposed to be my friend and she knew I liked him.”
And Adam was trying to think about the new names, because wasn’t Jessica Sarah’s best friend and who was Jason?
“Oh my God! Dad, is this a hickey?”
Sarah moved closer to take a better look at Adam’s neck.
“It is! You have a hickey! I can’t believe that.”
She was laughing so hard right in his face and he wished she was still five years old. She looked up and down his neck as if she tried to find more hickeys and he felt himself blushing under her stare. That was so humiliating!
He looked over at his mother but judging on her expression she was not about to help him out here.
“Dad, are you seeing someone? Who is it? Is he cute?”
Sarah jumped excited in front of him. He rolled his eyes and pushed past her to be able to close the door behind them.
“Dad?”
Fuck, she was really nosy!
He closed his eyes and asked himself silently why she made him feel like a teenager again, like he did something wrong and had to apologize. That was crazy! When he looked at her again, she was standing in front of him, her arms crossed in front of her and her foot was tipping against the floor. Adam rolled his eyes at that.
“I met someone. I just don’t know where this will end up, it’s kinda fresh now?”
Sarah nodded. “Do you like him? Is he cute?”
Adam smiled at that. “Yes and yes. Very cute actually.”
Sarah giggled. “When will you introduce me to him?”
Adam sighed. “Sarah, I don’t know.”
Her expression changed and she was actually pouting.
“Please?”
Adam sighed loudly. “When the time is right, I'll bring him home, ok?”
Sarah nodded. “Okay, for now.”
Adam sighed in relief and was about to walk to his mother’s kitchen when Sarah called him back. He turned around and she looked at him with a serious expression.
“Just promise me to be safe. You know, use condoms.”
Adam let his face fall in his hands, while his mother laughed.
How was this even his life?
