A/N: While I'm not new to fanfiction itself, I AM new to writing Kradam and slash fanfiction as this is my first. I'll be alternating between Kris's POV and Adam's POV. I'd love comments and any suggestions you may have! :D Enjoy!
FYI: "Aaron" is a made up character. :)

I can do this. It's nothing to be ashamed of.
Kris tried to relax his shoulders as he waited apprehensively while his laptop booted up. He wasn't sure why he was exactly nervous. It was only a chat room after all. For the past two weeks he had seen the same bright pink flyer hanging on the notice board in the book store he worked in. It simply advertised a certain chat room where single men and women could sign in and meet other people and make "friends". He had only been mildly curious when he first spotted it, but as the weeks went on, he was so very tempted to actually sign in.
It wasn't chatting online with other people that weirded him out. It was chatting online with singles. It made him feel a little desperate especially after his most recent break up. Ugh, don't go there. It's been a month! Time to move on. He groaned and pushed the thoughts of Aaron from his mind.
Sitting on his bed, Kris signed on to FlirtyLASingles.com. The layout of the website was anything but flirty; instead it practically screamed online sex. Pictures of women and men in their underwear graced the side of the screen. Kris tensed his shoulders and reminded himself that this wasn't as silly as it looked.
In order to start chatting, he'd have to register. All the information required was easy enough to fill out except for the screenname part. Kris wasn't sure what to choose or whether it had to be sexy or something. He sighed and looked around his bedroom. It wasn't necessarily small, more average-sized for his new apartment, and it still held some of his things in boxes piled by the walls. Finally his eyes landed on his guitar resting against the opposite wall. Smiling, he returned his focus to his laptop screen and finished signing up.
After confirming his registration, he was redirected to a page where he could choose which type of chat room he wanted to enter. He chose the gay male singles one and felt a rush of excitement spread throughout his body. Maybe I'll enjoy this after all.
Right when the chat room loaded up, Kris just waited and read what other people were IMing about which, to no surprise, was about sex. He rolled his eyes and felt a tingly feeling as he sent out his first IM.
guitarkris: hi. :)
Looking at his username, he compared it to the other more provocative ones he saw. Okay, not sexy at all....
Something caught his eye as he looked underneath the chat room box. A notification said that he had two new private IMs. His heart skipped a beat from excitement and opened the first one.
onebigfishh: lookin for a good time?
Kris cocked his eyebrow and debated whether or not to reply before just minimizing it and opened up the second one.
fruitofdaloom: hey.
guitarkris: hi!
fruitofdaloom: like it rough?
Widening his eyes in response, Kris just sat there. Wow. These guys are really straightforward. Not wanting to be rude since he already replied, he IMed back.
guitarkris: maybe.
fruitofdaloom: yea.
Okaaaayyy. Kris closed the IM box. What was he supposed to say to just a one word answer like that?
The rest of the already abundant pile of private IMs were basically the same thing over and over, except for one guy who Kris had actually started casually talking to but then went total MIA. Kris had known that it would basically be like this. Sex, sex, sex. Who actually goes to a singles chat room to just talk? He hadn't known how much he'd end up getting annoyed by it.
I knew I shouldn't have done this. Stupid. Stupid and desperate.
He sighed and as he was about to close the chat room and sign off, he got one more private IM.
"God!" Kris groaned.
Almost tempted to just close the private IM without looking at it, Kris eventually gave in and looked at in annoyance.
glamlicious28: Hey there. :)
Kris pursed his lips and chewed on the inside of his cheek. Should he answer? Probably just another sex-crazed weirdo out there....
Just as he was about to sign off without answering, another IM popped up.
glamlicious28: Hellooo?
Kris let out a reluctant sigh. He hated being rude.
guitarkris: hey.
glamlicious28: Phew! Thought you left!
guitarkris: i was actually about to when you IMed me.
glamlicious28: Oh, well then. Looks like I caught you just in time. ;)
Kris couldn't help the left corner of his mouth when it rose into a half-smile.
guitarkris: i guess you did. :)
glamlicious28: Haha. So you must be new around here.
guitarkris: uh, yeah. this is my first time being on here lol
glamlicious28: Thought so.
guitarkris: how'd you know?
glamlicious28: I've been a member a looong time. I pretty much know everyone that comes here haha
guitarkris: oh cool.
glamlicious28: ;)
Kris smiled. This guy actually wasn't that bad to talk to, especially considering the other ones he had been exposed to.
guitarkris: so are all the guys here total sex maniacs? lol
glamlicious28: Hahahaha! Pretty much, yeah.
guitarkris: lol oh god.
glamlicious28: I should probably warn you. I'm the worst of them...
Kris shifted his position on the bed so that he was sitting cross-legged in front of his computer.
guitarkris: oh rly...?
glamlicious28: Yep. You're lucky I haven't taken advantage of you yet.
guitarkris: lol well i appreciate that then haha
glamlicious28: ;)
For some reason that wink is oddly hot now, Kris thought when he heard a sudden ringing come from the kitchen. "Damn phone," he muttered.
guitarkris: hey brb k?
glamlicious28: Kay. Hurry back! :)
Kris smiled and replied back with a smiley face before quickly hopping off the bed and scurrying into the small kitchen where his phone hung on the wall.
"Hello?" he answered as he looked at the clock hanging next to the refrigerator. It was eleven-thirty at night. Who could be calling?
"Hey!" a peppy voice sounded.
Groaning, Kris said, "Katy, what are you doing calling this late!?"
"Watch your tone, mister. I was only calling to confirm our plans for tomorrow," she retorted.
"And you couldn't just text me?"
Silence.
Kris smirked. "My thoughts exactly."
"Shut up."
"Never."
"Kris, just tell me the time I pick you up from work."
"Demanding, aren't you?"
"Kris!"
"Okay, okay!" he chuckled. Katy had been his best friend since high school and had stuck by him through his bad times and good times. He felt absolutely grateful for everything she had put up with when he had gone through his painful break-ups and all the stress during college.
"Pick me up around...three. I get off early tomorrow," he said. He wasn't really a fan of shopping sprees, but she was and they hadn't really had an opportunity to hang out lately what with her being an interior designer and three months pregnant.
"'Kay, cool. I'll let ya go now. See ya tomorrow!" she squeaked through the phone.
Before Kris could say goodbye, he heard the click of the phone. Rolling his eyes, he hung the phone back up and shuffled back to his bedroom.
Looking at his computer screen, he muttered under his breath, "Shit."
glamlicious28: I'd hate to leave you like this, but I gotta go. :(
glamlicious28: ...but I'll be back tomorrow night....
glamlicious28: ...maybe we can get to know each other then? ;)
glamlicious28: Night, bb. xx
glamlicious28: [offline]
Kris mentally scolded himself for being away from the computer that long, but inwardly he was excited for tomorrow night. All those winks...and just the way he casually flirts...oh..
I think I might be more excited for tomorrow night than my shopping plans with Katy.
