Chapter Four…
“Honey, I’m home” Adam cried out as he let himself into Brad’s apartment with the key he had never given back even after their breakup many years ago. “Kris? Brad?” He yelled even louder when he didn’t get a response from either of them dropping his bags on the floor and walking deeper into the apartment. “Where the hell could they be?” He spoke to himself as he removed his phone from out of his pocket and called Kris’s number. “Where the hell are you?” He asked annoyed when he only got his voicemail, his aggravation growing even more when he called Brad’s phone and got the same thing.
“I can’t believe you actually bought those pants” Kris laughed as he and fumbled with the door to Brad’s apartment, laughing even louder at the pouty look he got in return. “Don’t give me that look they are so damn bright that when you go to the club there going to light up”
“Which means all the attention will be focused on me as it should be” Brad grinned at Kris, pushing him out of the way once the door was opened.
“Jerk” Kris cried out after him with a laugh, it coming up short as he looked up and found his boyfriend standing across the room from them. “Adam…oh my god” He cried out, dropping the bags in his hands to the ground as he ran towards the man that he had missed with a passion. “I can’t believe that you’re here” He didn’t give Adam a chance to speak as he jumped up and wrapped his arms around his neck, stepping back with a look of hurt on his face when Adam didn’t return the gesture. “Is something wrong?” He asked, fearful of the answer as Adam just stared between him and Brad.
“Where have you been?” Adam asked, not even trying to hide the annoyance on his face or in his voice. He knew he probably didn’t have any right to be pissed off at Kris since he didn’t even know that he was coming home early, but he was exhausted from the non-stop flights, starving since he hadn’t eaten all day and more then a little upset that the man that he had rushed back and endured it all for hadn’t been anywhere to be seen when he had finally arrived.
“I went shopping with Brad” Kris replied, feeling himself get defensive at the accusing look and tone Adam was sharing with the two of them.
“You went shopping with Brad. I can’t even get you to come shopping with me, but you can go shopping with him” He grumbled, his irritation and anger growing with each second that Kris didn’t respond.
“That’s because he loves me more” Brad grinned, placing his arm around Kris’s taunt shoulders and giving him a wet kiss on the cheek.
“You’re not helping Brad” Kris mumbled towards his new found friend, wiping the wetness from his cheek before turning his attention back towards Adam. “I’m sorry that I wasn’t here when you got here, but you never said anything and Brad decided that it would be a good idea to go clothes shopping and…” He didn’t finish his sentence at the highly pissed off glare he got at that.
“I hire a private plane and fly straight through from fucking Japan so I can spend time with the man that I thought was waiting for me and instead I come back and its like some alternate universe. Who the hell are you people and what have you done with my boyfriend and my best friend?”
“So what you just expected me to wait by the door for your return like a good wife or something?” Kris belted out, more irritated and pissed off at Adam then he had felt in a long time. “I’m sorry that you had to endure such hard ships to come home to me, but I’m not fucking psychic and I’ve had other things to worry about other then you coming home two days early and being all pissy because I wasn’t here to kiss your feet when you walked in the door. Thanks for lunch today” He turned to face Brad rushing over and picking up his dropped bags before storming into his bedroom, slamming the door loudly behind him.
“What?” Adam cried out when he looked over and found Brad glaring at him.
“You know Adam sometimes you are the biggest douche bag there is” He squinted his eyes, glaring even bigger daggers at the stupid man in front of him. “While you’ve been off gallivanting all over Japan, he’s been here dealing with the harsh reality of real life. He’s been through hell after having every record label tell him that they wouldn’t work with him and yet he kept it from you because he didn’t want to worry or upset you while you were on your precious tour. You weren’t here and he needed someone to make him see that he wasn’t the biggest piece of shit on the planet and yet all you can do is yell at him like he’s some bitch that didn’t attend to your every need” He started to walk away only to turn back and glare once more at the man behind him. “Oh and by the way fucktard, the shopping that he did was all for you because he wanted to make your homecoming special” With that said he tossed his head to the side, glaring at Adam one more time for good measure before sauntering off into his own bedroom, slamming the door loudly behind him as well.
Adam didn’t know what to think as he turned and looked at both closed doors, the guilt setting in rather quickly as he vowed to apologize to Brad later, knowing that he had some serious sucking up to do to his boyfriend first. “Kris…baby…can I come in?” He knocked softly, waiting a moment for a reply, opening the door slowly when he didn’t get one.
“Come to yell at me some more?” Kris asked as he stood off in the far corner of the room, shooting Adam dirty looks with his arms across his chest.
“No…I came to apologize. I didn’t have any reason to be mad at you when you didn’t even know that I was coming back early. I just missed you so much and I couldn’t wait two more days to see you” Adam replied, watching as some of the anger began to disappear from Kris’s face. “I’m really sorry baby. I didn’t mean to hurt you like that and I’ll do anything that you want in order to make it up to you” He was being serious, but could tell that Kris had already forgiven him at the playful glint he saw in his lover’s eyes.
“Anything?” Kris asked, trying to keep his angry face on, but failing as he knew he would as Adam continued to stand by the door with a sexy pout on his face.
“Anything” Adam repeated, waiting to see what Kris had in store for him next.
“Suck me off “Kris returned immediately loosening his belt buckle, his dick growing hard just thinking about Adam on his knees.
“Is that really my punishment?” Adam asked with a seductive smile, falling to his knees and crawling towards him.
“Be quiet or I’ll make you fuck me too” Kris chuckled softly, it turning into a full fledged groan as the man that he loved nuzzled his nose against his jean covered crotch.
“Oh my and that would just be so torturous He pushed his face even deeper into Kris’s groin area, tugging the zipper down with one quick tug before jerking the hindering material downwards until it was pooling at his feet.
“I really missed you baby” Adam yawned over an hour later, holding his lover tightly after fucking him like crazy.
“I missed you too and I’m sorry that I wasn’t here to greet you when you got home” Kris replied as he snuggled deeper into Adam’s arms.
“You have no reason to be sorry. I was just being a grouchy bitch because I was tired and maybe just a little bit jealous that you and Brad seemed to have gotten so close” He decided to be truthful because he was determined to not ever keep anything from Kris ever again.
“You have nothing to be jealous about” Kris returned as he nuzzled Adam’s sweaty neck, placing a loving kiss there.
“Does that mean that you’ll go shopping with me now?” He asked, biting his lip to keep from laughing at the small groan he heard in response.
“What is it with you two and shopping?” Kris asked, pulling back so he could look down at his boyfriend. “I mean, I’m into men and I don’t have the urge to walk from store to store for hours and hours, buying massive amounts of clothing that I don’t need”
“It is much to late to have that conversation my dear” Adam yawned again through his grin, his eyes drifting shut only to fly open a second later as earlier words from Brad crossed his mind. “What was Brad talking about when he said you felt like the biggest piece of shit earlier?”
“It’s much too late to have that conversation” He repeated Adam’s words, kissing him sweetly and feeling like anything but as he settled down upon his chest. “We’ll talk about it tomorrow” He promised when Adam looked at him with an arched eyebrow. “Tomorrow…now get some sleep” Leaning upwards he kissed his lover once again, a smile crossing his face at the short press of lips and mumbled reply he received.
“What the hell did you tell him that for?” Kris growled at Brad under his breath so he wouldn’t wake Adam several hours later as the two of them sat in the kitchen drinking coffee.
“He needed to know and besides I was over his little diva rant and he needed to be put in his place” Brad smirked, blowing Kris a coffee scented kiss across the table before taking another sip from his cup.
“You’re one to talk about diva rants” Kris chuckled despite himself.
“Who do you think taught him all that he knows” He returned quickly, winking at Kris instead that time.
“I still feel like I am in some alternate universe” They both heard Adam speak from the doorway of the kitchen, eyeing the two cups of coffee on the table. “It’s just odd seeing you two actually getting along” He growled lowly when he reached for the first cup nearest him, Brad jerking it away and holding it against his chest.
“Get your own bitch” He squawked, pulling back even further when Adam tried to swipe it again.
“Here baby” Kris said as he got up and handed his half full cup to Adam. “Morning…” He leaned up for a kiss reaching for the coffee pot on the counter behind him before refilling Adam’s cup. “Get your own bitch” He laughed at Brad when he held his cup out for a refill as well, laughing even harder at the wide eyed look of shock he got in return.
“Oh girl…it is time for you to go” Brad retorted, sliding the chair back and grabbing Adam’s full cup from him as he glided out of the kitchen.
“Hey…” Adam cried out after Brad, sharing a smile full of love towards Kris when another full cup was held in front of him. “I love you” He sighed, enjoying the first taste of caffeine into his still exhausted system.
“I know” Kris smiled back, sharing another coffee flavored kiss.
“So tell me about what Brad said last night” Adam spoke after his second cup of coffee. “Thank you” He smiled when the man that he loved with his entire heart and soul placed a plate of toast and some cut up fruit in front of him.
“It’s nothing” Kris tried to sidestep the dreaded conversation. “So I was thinking that if you really wanted to go shopping today and you’re up to it…”
“Kris…please talk to me. This isn’t going to work if we’re not honest with each other” Adam pleaded, reaching forward and taking Kris’s hands into his own.
The shorter mans sighed before telling Adam the truth. “It seems that I’ve gotten somewhat of a reputation since…you know” He didn’t want to say the words to bring up a part of their past that was still painful to the both of them. “I’ve been to every record company large and small and they all think that I am too much of a liability to sign me and…”
“And…” Adam urged, giving the hands still held within his a gentle squeeze.
“They don’t want to represent the man who tried to destroy the biggest act of the century” Kris repeated one of the record executive’s exact words.
“That’s bullshit” Adam cried out, jerking his hands away from Kris as he got up and started pacing the kitchen. “You made a mistake and you’ve gotten help and I’ve forgiven you for what happened and I love you and…”
“And they don’t know any of that except that I’ve been to rehab. I don’t get it actually because most celebrities go to rehab and they come back as a success story. I come back and I’m nothing but a piece of shit” Kris sighed, his entire body feeling weighted and tired as he hung his head staring at the floor.
“Don’t you EVER say anything like that again” Adam roared, jerking Kris out of his seat and forcing him to stand in front of him. “You are not a piece of shit. You are a talented and beautiful man and if those fucks can’t see that then they don’t deserve you”
“You have to say that because you love me” Kris choked out when he was crushed to Adam’s hard chest, trying to be playful but it coming out all sad and even a bit frightened.
“I do love you, but I mean ever word of it as well Kristopher” Adam smiled sadly down at his lover as he pushed him back a little in order to look at his face. “You have an amazing singing voice and if they can’t see that then they don’t deserve to sign you”
“It doesn’t really matter since none of them want me anyway” Kris replied, his eyes downcast because it was just too humiliation to look in Adam’s eyes.
“I can fix that” Adam laughed all of a sudden, grabbing Kris on the side of the face before kissing him happily.
“Fix it…how?” Kris asked, rushing after Adam when he practically ran for the bedroom. “Adam…what are you doing?” He cried out, giving Brad a look of pleading when he popped out of his own room.
“Sam…get my manger and the label on the phone” He yelled into his cell phone at his assistant, wrapping his arm around Kris’s shoulder and kissing his forehead as he hung up the phone in order to wait for the call back. “I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before” He grinned ever wider, looking between a confused looking Brad and Kris. “My contract is up for renewal soon and I’ll just tell them that if they want to keep me that they have to resign you as well” He explained, eyebrows knitting together when Brad grabbed the phone out of his hand and Kris moved away from him. “What?” He asked, confused as Kris found fascination with the floor again and Brad shot him a look so nasty that he swore he could feel heat from it.
“Brilliant plan asshole but did you ever stop to think how that might affect Kris?” Brad asked fighting the urge to reach forward and claw Adam’s beautiful face for being so stupid and uncaring.
“I’m trying to help Kris” He rushed out, eyes darting between the two. “You do get that I am trying to help you right?” He asked his lover, shooting his own heated glare when his ex-boyfriend wrapped an arm around Kris’s neck and pulled him into his side. “You know I fucking hate that the two of you have bonded and seem to share a brain now” He grumbled, noticing that those words seemed to jerk Kris out of his fascination with the floor. However at the smoldering look of anger now staring directly at him, he kind of wished he hadn’t.
“I’m a grown man Adam and I don’t need you fucking pulling strings and threatening people on my behalf”
“You tell him baby boy” Brad winked at Kris, causing Adam’s frustration and more then a little bit of jealously to flair up even more.
“Do you think that we can have two fucking minutes alone?” He snipped at Brad, not fazed in the least when Brad shot him an even nastier look. “Kris…please can you call off your little dog?” He asked, his words laced with full sarcasm.
“I may be little diva, but trust me when I say that I am all bite and no fucking bark”
“That doesn’t even make sense?” Adam yelled, throwing his hands up in frustration and wondering how the morning had just started and it was already going to be a shitty day.
“Like treating Kris like a piece of shit makes any fucking sense. He’s been through a rough time and he needs your support, not you going all macho on him and trying to dominate his life” Brad returned with a sneer, knowing that he had finally gotten through to Adam at the look of shock upon his face. “Just whistle if you need anything” He said to Kris, wrinkling his nose and barking at Adam before strutting out the bedroom door.
“Is that what you think I’m doing?” Adam questioned once they were alone, hurt that Kris wasn’t seeing that he was only trying to help.
“Yes…no…yes” The brown haired man stammered, sitting down on the bed behind him, still staring at the floor.
“Jesus Kris…I’m only trying to help because I have the leverage to help you” Adam ran his hand through his hair roughly, hating that he had been home less them twenty-four hours and he and Kris had already fought twice.
“I know you are” Kris sounded tired and resigned as he sat forward, grabbing onto the other mans hand and tugging him until he sat down beside him. “I know you are” He repeated again, turning to look Adam in the eyes finally. “But I have to do this on my own. I love you Adam and I love that you want to take care of me, but I have my pride. Besides, I’m the one that got myself into this situation and I need to be the one to get myself out even though I’m sure you don’t understand….”
“Hey…” Adam cut him off, reaching forward and cupping his face tenderly in his hand. “I get it. I don’t like it, but I get it. I just love you so much and I just want to take care of you, but I get it” He smiled softly, leaning forward and kissing Kris quickly before pulling back. “So what are you going to do?” He asked, wrapping his arm loosely around Kris’s neck before lying them backwards.
“I’m not really sure, but Brad thinks that I should sell my story to the highest bidder and see where it goes from there” Kris replied, thankful that Adam seemed to understand where he was coming from.
“And you think that listening to Brad is the best idea?” Adam asked, trying to keep his face neutral as the jealously began to creep forward again.
“Not normally, but I think that he might be right this time”
“I’m always right bitches, you should be listening to me more because that was a fucking brilliant idea” They heard Brad holler from somewhere, causing Adam to groan and Kris to giggle.
“Does he have this place wired or something?” Kris continued to giggle, shifting closer towards Adam.
“You’ll never know” They heard him reply, both of them laughing before they starting kissing, forgetting and not caring about that possibility as they made loud and filthy love to each other.

Chapter Four…
“Honey, I’m home” Adam cried out as he let himself into Brad’s apartment with the key he had never given back even after their breakup many years ago. “Kris?

“I can’t believe you actually bought those pants” Kris laughed as he and fumbled with the door to Brad’s apartment, laughing even louder at the pouty look he got in return. “Don’t give me that look they are so damn bright that when you go to the club there going to light up”
“Which means all the attention will be focused on me as it should be” Brad grinned at Kris, pushing him out of the way once the door was opened.
“Jerk” Kris cried out after him with a laugh, it coming up short as he looked up and found his boyfriend standing across the room from them. “Adam…oh my god” He cried out, dropping the bags in his hands to the ground as he ran towards the man that he had missed with a passion. “I can’t believe that you’re here” He didn’t give Adam a chance to speak as he jumped up and wrapped his arms around his neck, stepping back with a look of hurt on his face when Adam didn’t return the gesture. “Is something wrong?” He asked, fearful of the answer as Adam just stared between him and Brad.

“Kris…please talk to me. This isn’t going to work if we’re not honest with each other” Adam pleaded, reaching forward and taking Kris’s hands into his own.
The shorter mans sighed before telling Adam the truth. “It seems that I’ve gotten somewhat of a reputation since…you know” He didn’t want to say the words to bring up a part of their past that was still painful to the both of them. “I’ve been to every record company large and small and they all think that I am too much of a liability to sign me and…”
“And…” Adam urged, giving the hands still held within his a gentle squeeze.
“They don’t want to represent the man who tried to destroy the biggest act of the century” Kris repeated one of the record executive’s exact words.
“That’s bullshit” Adam cried out, jerking his hands away from Kris as he got up and started pacing the kitchen. “You made a mistake and you’ve gotten help and I’ve forgiven you for what happened and I love you and…”
“And they don’t know any of that except that I’ve been to rehab. I don’t get it actually because most celebrities go to rehab and they come back as a success story. I come back and I’m nothing but a piece of shit” Kris sighed, his entire body feeling weighted and tired as he hung his head staring at the floor.
“Don’t you EVER say anything like that again” Adam roared, jerking Kris out of his seat and forcing him to stand in front of him. “You are not a piece of shit. You are a talented and beautiful man and if those fucks can’t see that then they don’t deserve you”
“You have to say that because you love me” Kris choked out when he was crushed to Adam’s hard chest, trying to be playful but it coming out all sad and even a bit frightened.
“I do love you, but I mean ever word of it as well Kristopher” Adam smiled sadly down at his lover as he pushed him back a little in order to look at his face. “You have an amazing singing voice and if they can’t see that then they don’t deserve to sign you”
“It doesn’t really matter since none of them want me anyway” Kris replied, his eyes downcast because it was just too humiliation to look in Adam’s eyes.
“I can fix that” Adam laughed all of a sudden, grabbing Kris on the side of the face before kissing him happily.
“Fix it…how?” Kris asked, rushing after Adam when he practically ran for the bedroom. “Adam…what are you doing?” He cried out, giving Brad a look of pleading when he popped out of his own room.
“Sam…get my manger and the label on the phone” He yelled into his cell phone at his assistant, wrapping his arm around Kris’s shoulder and kissing his forehead as he hung up the phone in order to wait for the call back. “I don’t know why I didn’t think of this before” He grinned ever wider, looking between a confused looking Brad and Kris. “My contract is up for renewal soon and I’ll just tell them that if they want to keep me that they have to resign you as well” He explained, eyebrows knitting together when Brad grabbed the phone out of his hand and Kris moved away from him. “What?” He asked, confused as Kris found fascination with the floor again and Brad shot him a look so nasty that he swore he could feel heat from it.
“Brilliant plan asshole but did you ever stop to think how that might affect Kris?” Brad asked fighting the urge to reach forward and claw Adam’s beautiful face for being so stupid and uncaring.
“I’m trying to help Kris” He rushed out, eyes darting between the two. “You do get that I am trying to help you right?” He asked his lover, shooting his own heated glare when his ex-boyfriend wrapped an arm around Kris’s neck and pulled him into his side. “You know I fucking hate that the two of you have bonded and seem to share a brain now” He grumbled, noticing that those words seemed to jerk Kris out of his fascination with the floor. However at the smoldering look of anger now staring directly at him, he kind of wished he hadn’t.
“I’m a grown man Adam and I don’t need you fucking pulling strings and threatening people on my behalf”
“You tell him baby boy” Brad winked at Kris, causing Adam’s frustration and more then a little bit of jealously to flair up even more.
“Do you think that we can have two fucking minutes alone?” He snipped at Brad, not fazed in the least when Brad shot him an even nastier look. “Kris…please can you call off your little dog?” He asked, his words laced with full sarcasm.
“I may be little diva, but trust me when I say that I am all bite and no fucking bark”
“That doesn’t even make sense?” Adam yelled, throwing his hands up in frustration and wondering how the morning had just started and it was already going to be a shitty day.
“Like treating Kris like a piece of shit makes any fucking sense. He’s been through a rough time and he needs your support, not you going all macho on him and trying to dominate his life” Brad returned with a sneer, knowing that he had finally gotten through to Adam at the look of shock upon his face. “Just whistle if you need anything” He said to Kris, wrinkling his nose and barking at Adam before strutting out the bedroom door.
“Is that what you think I’m doing?” Adam questioned once they were alone, hurt that Kris wasn’t seeing that he was only trying to help.
“Yes…no…yes” The brown haired man stammered, sitting down on the bed behind him, still staring at the floor.
“Jesus Kris…I’m only trying to help because I have the leverage to help you” Adam ran his hand through his hair roughly, hating that he had been home less them twenty-four hours and he and Kris had already fought twice.
“I know you are” Kris sounded tired and resigned as he sat forward, grabbing onto the other mans hand and tugging him until he sat down beside him. “I know you are” He repeated again, turning to look Adam in the eyes finally. “But I have to do this on my own. I love you Adam and I love that you want to take care of me, but I have my pride. Besides, I’m the one that got myself into this situation and I need to be the one to get myself out even though I’m sure you don’t understand….”
“Hey…” Adam cut him off, reaching forward and cupping his face tenderly in his hand. “I get it. I don’t like it, but I get it. I just love you so much and I just want to take care of you, but I get it” He smiled softly, leaning forward and kissing Kris quickly before pulling back. “So what are you going to do?” He asked, wrapping his arm loosely around Kris’s neck before lying them backwards.
“I’m not really sure, but Brad thinks that I should sell my story to the highest bidder and see where it goes from there” Kris replied, thankful that Adam seemed to understand where he was coming from.
“And you think that listening to Brad is the best idea?” Adam asked, trying to keep his face neutral as the jealously began to creep forward again.
“Not normally, but I think that he might be right this time”
“I’m always right bitches, you should be listening to me more because that was a fucking brilliant idea” They heard Brad holler from somewhere, causing Adam to groan and Kris to giggle.
“Does he have this place wired or something?” Kris continued to giggle, shifting closer towards Adam.
“You’ll never know” They heard him reply, both of them laughing before they starting kissing, forgetting and not caring about that possibility as they made loud and filthy love to each other.
