Kris sighed happily as he woke, the soft feeling of someone stroking his face pulling him from his dreams. But just before opening his eyes it hit him that something didn't feel right, the hand stroking his cheek just didn't..... “Cheek.” Kris yelled scrambling to sit up.
“Morning sunshine.” Cheeks smiled throwing himself down on Adam's side of the bed.
“Adam?” Kris called out. “Adam.”
“Oh honey you can scream and scream all you want. No ones going to come to you rescue you.” Cheeks rolled onto his side to face Kris.
“Where the hell is my boyfriend?”
Cheeks pulled a folded note from his back pocket waving it in front of Kris's face. “I forgot how good he was with words. This is enough to make a grown men cry.”
“Give me that.” Kris snapped almost taking Cheeks arm off as he pulled the note from his hand.
(Do you know how good you look snuggled under my covers all cute and warm? I just want to lock the doors, turn off our cells and stay in bed with you forever but work needs to be done. My day is full of interviews and photo shoots but I'll try to call you when I can. Enjoy your day off and if you can please be in this bed when I get back tonight, I might need a little loving after all those horrible interviews. Love you baby.)
“Why didn't he wake me?” Kris asked folding the note and placing it in his night stand.
“Something about heartbreaking smile and not wanting to end whatever dream you were having.” Cheeks said in his half mocking way. “Anyway now he's gone we can finally start the arrangements.”
“Arrangements?” Kris asked as he watched Cheeks climb off the bed and walk towards Adam's closet.
“It's Adam's birthday soon.” Cheeks announced. “We need to make plans.”
Kris's heart skipped a beat at the thought of Cheeks planned birthday party. “I think he might be busy on his birthday.” Kris lied causing Cheeks to spin around and look at him. “I...I think he might.”
“And that's where you come in.” Cheeks said pulling out a black shirt from Adam's closet. “The dress sense has slipped since I dated him.” He sighed throwing the shirt on the floor.
“What do you want me to do?” Kris asked from the bed.
“You make sure he's free the night of his birthday and leave the rest to me.” Cheeks said throwing another shirt on the floor.
“What are you going to do.” Kris asked a little scared.
“Oh don't you worry about that pretty boy. It will be a night to remember.” Cheeks turned back to the closet. “Now you go and get the coffee started. I have my work cut out for me.” He sighed shaking his head at the closet.
…..................................
Adam walked through the door to his home to be met with darkness. Switching on the light he kicked his boots off hearing the low rumbling of music coming from the living room. “Baby?” Adam asked as he walked into the living room to find Kris sitting in his lazy boy chair holding a bottle of beer.
“I'm here.” Kris held up his hand the bottle swinging in the air.
“Why are you in the dark?” Adam asked as he turned on the small lamp at Kris's side. “Are you drunk?” Adam looked down at his boyfriend.
“Yep.” Kris answered taking another drink of beer.
“And can I ask why?” Adam asked taking the beer from Kris's hand.
“It's been a really long day.” Kris sighed. “A really long day.”
“Why what........”
“Oh my lord why the hell would you wear this Kris?”
Adam pointed towards the door. “Is that Brad?”
“Yep.”
“Is he in our bedroom.”
“Yep. He's been here since this morning.” Kris looked up to his boyfriend. “It's been a long day Adam.”
“Are you sure you have enough plaid.” Came Cheeks voice. “Does the plaid have anything to do with the hill-billy town you're from?”
“That's it.” Kris said jumping up from his chair. “I'm going to kill him.”
“Hey. Hey.” Adam said grabbing Kris by the waist as he tried to pass. “Don't let him get to you.” He whispered into Kris's ear before leaving a kiss on the side of his head.
“All day Adam. He's been here all day.” Kris sighed resting his head on Adam's chest. “Just let me hit him a little.”
“Kris.”
“And the things Adam has been buying. Is he trying to be a drag queen. A really bad drag queen.”
“Hit him hard baby.” Adam said pushing Kris towards the bedroom.

“So I just said to Ben, I don’t know where this is coming from, but when you’re ready to say sorry, I will be at Adam and Kris’s,” Brad ranted. “And do you know what he said?”
“Not a clue,” Kris said not looking up from his newspaper.
“He said I’m too invested in other people’s lives when I should be worrying about my own family,” Brad ranted.
“That’s shocking,” Kris mumbled.
“And I just told him that you guys were my family,” Brad added. “And he told me I was crazy.”
“Imagine that,” Kris said as he turned the page of the newspaper.
“I know right,” Brad nodded. “Anyway that was a great talk, thanks.”
“That’s what I’m here for,” Kris shrugged.
“You’re a good friend,” Brad smiled before walking out of the living room.
“Any time,” Kris called out.
“He’s right you know,” Adam smiled causing Kris to look up.
“Did you say something?”
“Just what Brad said,” Adam smiled. “You are a good friend.”
“Brad was here?” Kris asked looking around. “When?”
“Seriously?” Adam asked with a raised eyebrow. “You can block him out that much?”
“Only when I try,” Kris shrugged.
“Well haven’t you came a long way,” Adam laughed.
“It was either adjust or kill him,” Kris shrugged. “And prison wouldn’t have suited me.”
“Anyway never mind that,” Adam said as he took a seat next to Kris. “Where were we In the trip down memory lane?”
“You were about to tell me about the first time you wanted to stand up in front of the whole world and tell them you loved me,” Adam answered.
“Ah yes,” Kris smiled. “Truth or dare night.”

The bus pulled to a stop outside yet another venue for the night causing Adam to sigh heavily into his pillow. He loved touring, loved performing to screaming fans every night but after eight weeks of it things were beginning to get a little boring. Sharing a bus with seven other men, six straight and another who didn't want to be labelled was getting to Adam. He was set in his ways after years of living alone spending his time with other gay men just like him had given Adam a very sheltered view on the world. It sometimes shocked him that the other Idol men didn't share his views. He thought back on the night before's game of truth or dare as he shook his head, he learnt a great lesson. Never play a game of truth or dare with a bunch of straight men if you didn't want to spend the night getting funny looks.
“Isn't it a little third grade?” Adam complained climbing out his bunk to follow Kris towards the front of the bus.
“Least your stories will be worth telling.” Kris moaned shuffling his feet. “The rest of us are going to look like losers next to you.”
“Please.” Adam rolled his eyes. “My friends in middle school were all Mormons. My life wasn't that exciting.”
“Least your Mama didn't cut your sandwiches into dinosaur shapes until you were sixteen.” Kris complained sitting himself down in the empty sitting area to wait for everyone else to arrive. “I was such a loser back then.”
“I bet I would have had a crush on you back then.” Adam smiled sitting down next to Kris.
“You wouldn't have noticed me.” Kris said looking down at his hands. “I was so small and sick all the time. I was weak.”
Adam leaned in kissing the side of Kris's head causing Kris to look around for any prying eyes. That was another reason Adam hated the bus so much, he could not be openly affectionate with Kris without the others finding out. “I like you small.” Adam whispered kissing the side of his head again. “Anyway you know I would have been crushing on you in high school. It would you not noticing me. Bad skin red hair and 250lbs.” Adam sighed shaking his head. “Actually you would have noticed me. You just wouldn't have cared.”
Kris opened his mouth to answer but stopped at hearing Danny approach. “Ready for embarrassment.” Danny asked smiling. Kris only nodded his eyes focused on Adam as the older men looked down at his hands with a worried look on his face.
…....................................................
“Alright Adam truth or dare.” Danny quizzed in his natural annoying way.
“Truth.” Adam said sending Kris a wink.
Kris tried not to blush as he watched Adam wiggle around on the floor at his feet as he waited for Danny. “Okay got it.” Danny sent Adam a look that Kris knew Danny was trying to be smart ass. “How far have you gone with a woman.”
Adam gave the room a small smile before sticking out his tongue and wiggling it around. “Just a little oral.”
“You went down on a girl?” Matt asked in shock. “Like properly?”
“I was pretty drunk but yea I made her cum.”
The bus fell into a stunned silence as everyone stole quick glances at Adam. “So.” Adam mused. “Who's next.”
“Me.” Kris blurted out as he tried to stop the awkwardness that had filled the bus.
“Okay.” Danny said still looking at Adam. “Truth or dare?”
“Dare.” Kris answered causing everyone to whistle and laugh.
“Oh I've got one.” Anoop said getting all excited. “Kris I dare you to kiss.” Kris's eyes shot to Adam. “Matt.” Anoop finished earning a round of cheers from everyone but Adam. He sat on the floor by Kris's feet picking at Kris's shoes pretending the didn't hear a word any of them were saying.
“That's a little too far.” Danny said. “I mean that......”
“Part of the game.” Anoop interrupted. “It's either doing the dare of stripping off naked and running to the girls bus. That's the truth or dare rules.”
“Okay that's just gay.” Danny said turning to Adam quickly. “I mean no offence bro.”
“It does sound pretty gay.” Adam said smiling softly.
“Let's get this over with Idol boy.” Matt said standing up and walking towards Kris. “No hands.” He said pointing at Kris.
Kris looked down at Adam but Adam looked away quickly. “Fine.” Kris sighed standing up so he was in front of Matt.
“Al right ten seconds guys. And I want tongue.” Anoop announced clapping his hands with excitement.
Kris had kissed an number of three people in his whole life. The girl at summer camp when he was thirteen who cornered at the end of summer disco. Katy who he had been with for seven years and Adam, who he had just started kissing but already knew he wouldn't be getting bored of it. Now as he stood on the Idol bus with Matt's tongue almost choking him and the other Idols laughing as the counted to ten out loud. He wished he would have took the forfeit and began running around naked. He knew it had to have been less embarrassing than this. The moment he heard Anoop shout ten he pushed away from Matt wiping his mouth with the back of his hand.
“Yea that was pretty gay.” Matt said laughing nervously.
Kris scrambled to his seat noticing Adam was still looking down at the floor. Nudging him with his knee Kris gave Adam a little look like he wanted him to know he hadn't enjoyed what had just happened. Adam gave Kris a small smile as he pressed his cheek on the outside of his thigh for a split second before turning back to the other Idols.
