I've Missed You (Chapter 26/29)
Kris’s POV
The next month and a half went by quicker than ever. Both boys had been studying their cute little butts of for exams and in their free time, spending every second with each other. Kris could not believe it, today was the day both he and Adam graduated. But not only that, today was the day the boys came out, to the whole school, the whole world. It would happen today, they already had a plan. It was almost to much to take in. No matter how hard Kris tired he couldn’t tame the butterflies in his stomach. But at the same time, he was overjoyed. Finishing grade 12 seemed so crazy, Kris was still a child, no where near an adult.
It was going to be scary to come out. I mean, coming out to your friends and parents? That was easy enough, they already love you. But a whole school? That was different, no matter the age of the kids they never learn to not judge one another, and they will judge. But Kris wont let it get to him, and he definitely wont allow Adam to be hurt if any comments are made. His boy means the world to him, and judgemental people, not to be rude, could go fuck themselves.
Kris needed to look good today, he couldn’t stress more about how big today was, and when he momentarily forgot, his mother would remind him. He thought he was going to puke, his nerves were taking over.
He stood in front of the mirror, staring at himself. He looked silly. Their school, like most schools made it mandatory the graduates wore their cap and gown to the ceremony, with formal attire under, for the small after party. So that’s what Kris was wearing, and he could really curse his small size. The gown was way to big for him and it was a small! He looked like he was over flowing in the black silky material. He would definitely not look good in a dress, that was more Adams department. At least he looked fine in his suit, the suit that was covered up by the ugly ass gown.
Of course he was ready early, as always. He guessed right now Adam would be doing his hair or something. He said something about a pompadour but Kristopher had no idea just what that was. He decided to quickly text Adam something. Big Day Baby, I love you. It was a simple text, but for some reason it eased Kris’s nerves when he got a text back a few moments later I know, I’m ready. Xoxo love you too. It was nice to know he wasn’t going into this alone, he had Adam, and he would always have Adam.
By 1:00 Kris, his mom, dad and younger brother were all piled into the car, ready to go to the graduation ceremony. Kris felt kind of bad for Adam, even though it was sort of embarrassing to have his whole family come to the ceremony, Adam had no one. Well, I guess that’s not totally true. Adam had Kris’s family, they love Adam, almost more than Kris does, and that, is a ton.
The auditorium was packed full of teachers, graduates and their family members, talking, running around or sitting down enjoying refreshments. Tt was sort of scary, there were what seemed like millions of people here. Kris scanned the room for Adam but saw none of him. Instead he saw Allie and Matt, and decided to say hi. He felt very relived when he realized they looked almost as bad as Kris in their grad gowns, actually everyone looked bad.
Adam came 5 minutes later, and Kris immediately erased his previous thought. Everyone looked bad in their gowns, except Adam. He didn’t understand how a boy could be that breath-takingly gorgeous especially when everyone else here looked like idiots.
Kris ran up to Adam, giving him a huge hug. “You look gorgeous. So fucking gorgeous.” He whispered as he hugged him. Adam giggled. “And you look Adorable.” Adam cooed. Kris frowned at Adam’s word choice, and Adam noticed. “And of course very sexy.” he purred. “Good save.” Kris replied, giving him a teasing smile.
“I wish I could kiss you right now.” Adam said seriously. “I’m totally stopping myself from being all over you right now.” Kris admitted. “Soon baby, just a couple more hours and then, we can show all the public displays of affection we want.” Adam giggled. “And that is a LOT.” Kris smiled back. Before changing the subject to university.
Everyone had taken their seats, Kris was in-between Adam and his mom, closer to the front. He was glad his parents had chosen pretty good seats.
“ Welcome Sir Williams High Graduating class of 2011. Today we are gathered here to celebrate this time of joy with our friends and family. You’re finally done high school. First we will start with handing out diplomas and scholar ships. Then we’ll move onto the fun part. The productions. So are you ready? Then lets get started!” Kris heard his principal say. This was definitely going to take a long time.
“ Kris Allen!” He heard his principal cheer. That was his cue. His time to get his diploma. He could see him mom crying, his dad cheering and Adam smiling the hugest smile in the world. He could see his friend giggling, and the strangers politely clapping, and it felt right. Kris couldn’t be more happy.
It took another 30 minutes to get to Adams name and when it did, Adam stood up proudly and got his diploma. “Not only do we have a diploma for this young gentleman, we have a scholarship! Congratulations Adam, for your outstanding achievement!” The principal beamed, shaking Adams hand. He could see the tears well up in Adams eyes as he was smiling, he’s seen it many times before. He couldn’t be more proud of his baby.
Now Kris had to endure the rest of the ceremony alone. You see, Adam, was asked to sing the closing number, and say a few words to end the ceremony so right now, He was backstage getting ready, and all Kris could do was think of him, and the nerves in his stomach as the time was getting closer and closer.
Nearly 20 minutes later, all of the certificates were given out and Adam appeared on stage. Hi, I’m Adam Lambert.” he started, seemingly nervous. “And I have something to tell all of you.” he stuttered out. “There’s someone very important to me in the audience. His names Kris, you all know him right? Kris Allen? Come up here?” He smiled now, as Kris stood and shakily walked back up on stage. “ Kris, is my boyfriend and we’ve been dating for the past 7 months. I’m gay, and I’m in love with him.” Adam grinned. “I love him too.” Kris giggled, grabbing the microphone from Adam, and then kissing him on the cheek. The crowd cheered. Kris could see his mom crying so hard in the audience, it brought tears to his own eyes.
When the cheering had died down and the auditorium was silent, Adam moved the microphone back up to his lips, but before he could speak he heard someone yell from the audience. “FAGGOT.” the jerk had said. But Adam didn’t seem offended, this time he just simply grabbed Kris’s hand and said into the microphone “Well, If that’s what I am, then I am freaking proud!” he laughed, and then turned to kiss Kris, right there. In front of the whole school. All Kris could do was melt into Adam’s touch. He could not be more in love with this boy if he tried.
After the ceremony Adam and Kris had found each other, and we’re being surrounded. Not that Kris really cared. He was very content now, being out in the open, holding his beautiful boyfriends hand. Adam needed to be shown off, to everyone. He was Kris’s and no one else could ever have his heart.
“ I’m so fucking happy.” Kris squealed, once the two boys had gotten away from most of the people. “I could die of happiness Kris. We really did it, we did it together.” Adam smiled, squeezing his boyfriends hips. “Did I mention how hot you would look in a dress? Gowns totally suit you.” He said to Kris, which earned a wholehearted laugh. “I’m being serious, you better let me dress you up like a little dolly one day Kristopher. I’m sure you would love me playing with you.” Adam purred into Kris’s ear before lightly nipping it. “I will let you do anything to me if you just kiss me already.” Kris practically moaned, leaning closer to Adam. “Oh you will be sorry for saying that baby.” Adam smirked, before closing the gap between them, in a long deep kiss. One where their tongues fought for dominance, their hands roamed all over and their love, was shining.
The boys were stopped by someone clearing their throat. Kris looked up to see his mom, and immediately pulled away from Adam, turning bright red. Adam giggled and grabbed Kris’s hand, not showing one ounce of embarrassment. “Hi Mom.” Kris said sheepishly. “Hello Kristopher, Hello Adam. Me, your father and brother were about to leave and I just wanted to tell you how proud of you we are. How proud we are of both of you. Adam, you and my son are born to be together, I can see it in your eyes. Never forget that boys. We love you both. “ Kim smiled. “Thanks Kim.” Adam blushed. “Yeah, thank you mom.” Kris said too. He had the best family.
Kris Allen and Adam were radiating, it would take all day to explain their joy. School was almost over, and that just meant millions of more experiences together and they couldn’t wait.
