Fic: Doesn't Anyone Believe in Knocking Anymore?
Author: ScruffyBunny
Pairing: Kradam
Rating: PGish?
Summary: Adam wonders if fate does this to him on purpose, not that he’s ungrateful. What if he’d walked in on Matt or Anoop or (God forbid) Danny? He shudders at the thought, which jars him back to reality. Random bit because I got attacked by a rather forceful plot bunny. My apologies in advance. No, really.
Disclaimer: Didn't happen, as far as I know. Don't own
He knows this has always been an inevitability. He knows it, but that doesn’t make it any less awkward when he walks in on it, and it doesn’t help that it’s Kris, and he’s in his underwear. Adam rolls his eyes at that thought because, really, what else would Kris be wearing? You can’t wear proper clothes for this; it just isn’t how it’s done.
It’s not that he thinks there’s something wrong with what he’d just witnessed. Hell, Adam’s done it himself more times than he cares to count. It’s just a natural thing to do, in his opinion.
But it’s Kris. Kris, for crying out loud!
Adam wonders if fate does this to him on purpose, not that he’s ungrateful. What if he’d walked in on Matt or Anoop or (God forbid) Danny? He shudders at the thought, which jars him back to reality. A reality in which Kris is still staring at him, wide-eyed and obviously flustered.
"I…" he starts to say, but the sentence trails off into silence as Kris struggles for something to say. Adam shuts the door behind him and smiles good-naturedly, deciding that playing it off is probably the best tactic.
"I was really hoping that it would stay sunny today," he comments. He nods out the window, where the rain patters down. "Not much to do on a rainy day." The second bit is out of his mouth before he really thinks about it, but the implications become clear when Kris' cheeks flood with a rosy shade of red. Adam rolls his eyes at himself. So much for playing it off.
"Kris, it's really not a big deal. Your secret is safe with me." There's promise in his tone, and Kris smiles, albeit sheepishly.
"It's kind of addictive," he finally says with a small laugh. Adam shrugs expressively.
"No need to tell me, honey. I know." Kris has an honest laugh at this and excuses himself to the bathroom, grabbing some clothes off of his bed as he goes. Disaster averted, Adam sighs to himself, lying back on his bed. He's just settling in for a quick nap when Matt pokes his head in the door.
"Doesn't anyone believe in knocking anymore?" Adam blurts out theatrically. The irony of it isn't lost on him. Matt ignores the comment and grins.
"We're gonna play Trivial Pursuit, so if you guys want to…" He makes it halfway through the invitation before he notices the open laptop next to Kris' bed. Adam feels his stomach drop. Matt is a bit obtuse, but he isn't stupid. He'll figure it out, and Adam won't be able to keep Kris' secret. He closes his eyes and braces himself for the deluge of questions about the contents of Kris' laptop. Matt isn't one to disappoint.
"Why does Kris have a video tutorial for the Single Ladies dance on his computer?"
