Camaraderie. At first, Kris was embarrassed as they pulled up to Adam’s apartment and he noticed the powder blue backpack but when he heard his brother’s friends’ remarks, he became angry. He immediately got out of the car to show support for the man he invited. Kris’ anger faded when he saw Adam’s bright smile and heard his rich laughter. Adam gave him the passenger seat and climbed in the back with his guitarist and drummer. Kris made quick introduction and then everyone but Jake took a nap. Kris woke up to hear Adam and Jake chatting about Europe. Adam was a good conversationalist and seemed to hang on everyone’s word. Kris relaxed more knowing Adam was probably charismatic enough to win over his staunchest enemies.
They arrived at San Jacinto and drove up to the base which was at about 7,000 feet and they would be climbing to a camp site at about 12,000. They got out of the vehicles. Kris introduced Adam to Daniel and his friends. Of course Daniel’s military buddy, Johnny looked Adam up and down,
“Are you sure you can make this hike? It is pretty rigorous and treacherous. Do you have cold weather gear?”
Jake looked at Kris, “You did tell him the hike was at altitude, didn’t you?”
“I told him where we going.” Kris answered defensively. Hopefully, Adam had looked it up online. Jake shook his head and just went to sign them in.
Adam looked Johnny in the eye, “I brought supplies and I will be fine, thanks for asking,” Adam smiled. They began their ascent. They were moving fast so Kris was quiet. He heard Adam chatting nonstop with his band. Two hours later the temperature had dropped significantly. Kris noticed Adam was in just a T-shirt and went near him.
“Do you have anything warmer in your pack?”
“I have a sweatshirt but I don’t want to get it wet. I’m OK.”
“I have an extra thermal shirt I usually sleep in but I won’t need it.”
Adam looked at him gratefully, “OK, if you don’t need it.” They stopped and Adam put on Kris’ polypropylene top and smiled, “You have made my day, Kris.”
“Sorry, I didn’t give you more details about the hike.”
“It’s OK. I am having a great time.”
Three hours later tempers were rising and people were getting snippy. Adam seemed unfazed and just seemed to soak up the natural beauty around them. Kris just focused on the trail. Daniel fell into step behind him,
“Your stalker is not very scary. He may look intimidating but he’s really a sweet guy.”
“I know. He is not the stalking type. Did Katy tell you I lied?”
Daniel laughed, “No, she just said the media misread the situation. What really happened? Are you gay now?”
“No!” Kris could only get to a place where he accepted he was attracted to Adam but believed it was the exception to the rule. “I don’t like men but I guess I like Adam.”
Daniel shook his head, “Adam is definitely a man. I mean he does wear makeup and has a girlie pack but I wouldn’t quite classify him as feminine. Is he a cross dresser? Was he dressed as a girl when you met him? Is this like Madame Butterfly and you fell in love before you knew”
Kris just looked at Daniel, “Shut the fuck up. I am not gay, ok.”
Daniel laughed and then got serious, “I think everyone likes Adam and I told my friends his stalking was a publicity stunt. That is the latest rumor, by the way, so you two might want to stay discreet. Adam is masculine enough to keep them guessing and I think its best.”
“Why are you friends with such close minded people?”
“Bro, your friends aren’t so different.”
Kris grudgingly agreed. They had been hiking for nearly seven hours and decided to take a food break. Kris had peanut butter and jelly while he saw Adam breakout a turkey and gouda sandwhich. Adam smiled,
“You want half? I see you eyeing my grub.”
Kris smiled back and happily took half of Adam’s sandwich. After one bite he was glad he had taken Adam. Kris looked at Adam concerned,
“How are you doing?”
“Good. I think I definitely should have dressed differently and I wish I had those hiking poles you guys are using but Johnny made me a walking stick which helps.” Adam showed Kris the makeshift walking stick that had been cut and cleaned from a thick branch. Kris laughed at Adam’s ability to bring people to his side. Adam shrugged,
“I think Johnny thought I was pathetic enough to help or he was tired of looking at me on my ass all the time. Are you sorry you invited me?”
Kris smiled, “No, because you are making this a lot more fun. I would have taken you for a whiner.”
“I never whine, I sometimes beg but never whine.” Adam winked.
They finally made it to the camp site. The temperature was about twenty degrees and the wind was kicking. To everyone’s dismay, Jake announced it was too windy for a fire and they should just set up the tents and wait it out. They dug out a circle in the snow before setting up the tents. Kris saw Adam take out a silver item from his back pack which looked like duck tape. Kris went over,
“What are you doing?”
“Making gloves. I am going to wrap tape around a pair of socks and make snow proof mittens. I am impressed Brad was right about taking duck tape.” Kris helped him and they all got to work. Jake came over,
“Adam is staying in your tent, right?”
“Er, yeah. Were you expecting to stay in my tent?”
“No, I just want to make sure I know where everyone is.”
Once their tents were up it started to flurry so everyone went inside to wait out the weather. The tent was small. Kris laid out their sleeping bags with Adam’s spread out on the bottom and his on the top. Kris laughed at seeing his smurf sleeping bag. He was cold and noticed Adam was shivering uncontrollably,
“Adam, we need to get warm and dry. Get undressed and get in the sleeping bags. We can use our body heat.”
Adam smirked, “W-we ar-are ge-get-ti-ting na-naked? I li-like th-that.”
Kris quickly stripped and climbed in the cocoon he built. He watched as Adam struggled with his clothes but couldn’t seem to get his fingers to work. Kris laughed,
“Come here and let me help you.” Adam came over and Kris sat up and quickly helped him unzip everything and pull off his clothes. Kris guided him under the sleeping bag and let Adam pull him against his body so they were spooning.
“You are like an ice cube.” Kris started rubbing Adam’s arms that were around him and using his body heat to warm him up. Adam put his hands between Kris’ thighs and smiled innocently,
“I am avoiding frostbite.”
Kris could feel Adam start to warm up and then felt Adam become aroused. He became very aware that they were naked and Adam’s growing erection was right up against his ass. Kris was nervous and it felt uncomfortably intimate. Adam moved one of his hands to Kris stomach and began running his fingers across Kris’ stomach. Kris flinched and giggled.
“I forgot how ticklish you are,” Adam ran his tongue around his ear. “Laying here like this with you made the whole day worthwhile.” Adam kissed Kris’ neck. Kris pressed back into Adam which caused Adam to moan. Adam moved the hand still on Kris thigh up to his manhood and started lightly stroking Kris. It felt great and Kris could not stop himself from thrusting into Adam’s hand.
“You are so hot. I hope this storm lasts all night,” Adam whispered in his ear.
“Me too.” Kris pressed back again and could feel the moisture of Adam’s pre-cum dripping near is entrance. Kris stiffened. Adam noticed,
“What’s wrong, baby?”
“I -I don’t want you to…”
“Ssh. I’m not going to do anything you don’t want. Besides, I don’t think it’s a good idea to have your first time while hiking up a fucking mountain. Relax and just let me make you feel good.”
Kris listened and Adam started making him feel really good his hands. Kris came with a loud moan and Adam kissed him and pulled him in close. Between, the rigorous workout, the warmth of their cocoon and Kris’ post-orgasmic relaxation, Kris fell asleep minutes later. He never heard Adam get up a couple hours later.

Adam had never heard of San Jacinto but just assumed it would be like hiking in the Santa Monica hills. He realized his mistake as they drove up to the base of a snow capped mountain. Shit. I really am not packed right. All well, I am not going to be the Debbie-downer of the group. Adam kept his mouth shut as they headed up the mountain. At first Adam was concerned that he was not going to get along with the group, but as the morning wore on he found common ground with them all. Even the military guy had been nice enough to carve Adam a walking stick.
Adam was cold and struggling but he stayed positive and thought it was pretty cool to be climbing up a mountain. It was also great spending time with Kris in such a surreal setting. By the time they made camp, the weather had become significantly worse. He was a little worried but no one seemed too concerned so he just focused on trying to help Kris set up the tent.
“Adam, we need to get warm and dry. Get undressed and get in the sleeping bags. We can use our body heat.”
Adam smirked, “W-we ar-are ge-get-ti-ting na-naked? I li-like th-that.” Not the smoothest voice and the shivering probably wasn’t sexy but regardless they were getting naked. Yeah!
Adam watched Kris strip down and became immediately aroused. Frustratingly, his fingers were too frozen to operate properly and he could not get his clothes off. He was eternally grateful when Kris helped. He climbed in behind Kris and pulled him in close. It was a perfect fit. Having Kris come apart in his hands was just icing on the cake. After his orgasm, Kris immediately fell asleep and Adam soon followed. Adam awoke disoriented and smiled as he realized the warmth next to him was Kris. Unfortunately he really had to take a piss so he reluctantly got up, got dressed and quietly left the tent.
The storm had died down and Jake had made a fire. He saw Daniel’s friends, Kris’ drummer and Jake sitting by the fire.
Jake noticed Adam first, “Hey Adam, Kris out cold?”
“Yeah, he seems pretty beat.”
Johnny looked over, “Did you bring any alcohol?”
Adam was hoping to horde his stash but then again Johnny had carved him a walking stick, “I have vodka martinis.”
“You are a gift from the heavens. Break it out.”
Adam grabbed his pack and gave it to Johnny, “It is in the flask.” Adam quickly went to the tree line and relieved himself. He went back over and Johnny was taking very healthy gulps. Adam was sad to see his alcohol going somewhere other than down his own throat. Johnny passed it to Peter and Scott who also took healthy sips. Luckily when it got to Jake, he gave it back to Adam before heading to his tent. Adam grimaced when he realize there was barely a sip left. Peter produced another flask and said it was peppermint schnapps. Adam decided to pass on the substandard booze deciding a hangover would not help his hiking abilities.
“So Sparkles, how long have you been corrupting good, god-fearing men?” slurred Johnny.
Adam stiffened, “I don’t corrupt people.” Adam wished Jake was back.
“Really because before you came on the scene, Kris Allen was happily married. You see Adam you are the worst kind of Sodomite because you come in a pretty shell acting all sweet and innocent. But really you are just working for the devil and leading good souls astray. I like you Adam but you need to be stopped.” Johnny still had Adam’s pack and started going through it.
“Give me back my pack, Johnny.”
“Come get it, Sparkles.” Johnny pulled out the duck tape, “Is this for some kinky faggot sex?”
Adam was getting really nervous. A drunk Johnny did not appear to be a good Johnny and the other two men seemed on board with Johnny. Adam tried to grab his bag but Peter tripped him and he fell toward Johnny. Adam went to yell but Johnny taped his mouth and then his wrists. Adam was helpless and panicking. Adam also cursed Brad for his stupid idea of bringing duck tape.
“You must be something else to convert someone as straight as Kris Allen. Maybe I should try you out before I beat the shit out of you. Would you get off on that? I bet you like it rough, like an animal.”
Adam tried to pull away and then felt cold steel at his neck. FUCK! Things had just gone from really bad to deadly. Adam was freaked out and realized he was probably going to be raped and cut. He looked up and saw Jake come out of his tent. Adam had never been so happy to see anyone. Johnny looked at Jake,
“I am going to teach this sodomite a life altering lesson by fucking him and then carving the shit out of him.”
Jake looked at Adam and said coldly, “I’ll hold him down while you fuck him and then take my turn.”
Adam’s stomach turned as he realized there was no one coming to his aid. Maybe this was a set up, maybe Kris even knows what is happening. Maybe, I am never leaving this mountain alive.
Johnny seemed to think about it and then nodded. He pulled Adam up with the knife pressing into his throat and spoke to Jake, “Pull down his pants first, I bet he is aroused. Fags love being promiscuous; we will all take turns and maybe if we are rough enough we can fuck the gay out of him.”
Adam looked at the four eager men and could feel tears rolling down his cheeks. Jake just maintained a cold expression as he pulled Adam’s pants down. Jake grabbed Adam’s arms and Johnny lowered the knife. Once the knife was down Jake threw Adam aside and launched at Johnny. Adam watched as Jake launched into some impressive martial arts moves rendering the other helpless. He picked up Johnny’s knife and cut Adam loose. Adam quickly pulled up his pants just as Kris came out of his tent and looked at the scene,
“What is going on?”
Adam looked at Jake pleadingly to not say anything. Jake shrugged, “Johnny drank too much and we were trying to get him to his tent.”
Johnny seemed to wake up, “Fucking fag-“ Jake kicked him in the head pretending he had stumbled.
Kris grimaced at the impact, “Careful, Jake. That was his head.”
“Hmm. I guess I am more tired than I thought and it’s making me a bit clumsy. Well, I think we should all go to bed since we are going to start early in the morning.” Jake grabbed Adam’s pack and handed it to him, “Thanks for sharing your supplies.”
“Thanks for being a good man.”
Jake’s expression softened, “Get a good night sleep, tomorrow will be a long day.”
Adam followed Kris into the tent. He was freaked out but did not want to tell Kris. Kris undressed and climbed back into the cocoon and held the sleeping bag up as an invitation for Adam to join him. Adam reluctantly undressed and climbed in next to Kris. Kris pulled the cover over them and kissed Adam. Adam pulled away because he could not stand the thought of being touched, “I have a bad headache, is it OK if we just sleep?”
“Sure, make sure you drink water you may be dehydrated.”
“OK, goodnight.” Adam rolled over and couldn’t help but stiffen when Kris tried to snuggle. Kris seemed to get the hint and just turned over. He laid awake all night just feeling numb. The next day everyone was subdued and Adam just kept to himself. Kris had tried to engage him in conversation in the morning but quickly gave up when Adam was unresponsive. Adam knew Kris interpreted it as a blow-off but he needed to focus all his energy on not breaking down. They finally finished the hike and arrived back in LA at 7. Adam avoided Johnny and his cohorts. He did notice their bruises and Johnny’s black eye. Jake had tried to talk to him but Adam just brushed him off saying he was fine and it was no big deal. Once at his apartment Adam got out of the car and watched them drive away before falling apart. He collapsed inside his apartment and immediately dialed,
“Brad, I need you to come over. You were right,” Adam said desperately.
“Adam? I’ll be right there, baby. Are you OK?
“No, come fast.” Adam hung up and just sat on his floor letting all the pent up fear and rage well up. Brad arrived 15 minutes later and just held Adam for a while letting him cry. Adam hated being weak and feeling like the unloved, fat, pimply, outsider again. Brad could be an ass but a caring and loving ass.
“What happened? I knew that fucking douche bag was going to get you in trouble.”
“They attacked me. A couple of his brother’s friends and one of his band mates tried to hurt me. I was so scared and then I didn’t want anyone to know so only Kris’ bodyguard knows.”
“Good because either that asshole was in on it or he would have pushed you off a cliff to avoid the scandal of a hate crime. You should totally press charges. Are you hurt anywhere? You certainly smell pretty bad.”
“No,” Adam was having a hard time breathing, “The one guy held a knife to my throat and was going to rape me.”
Brad looked at Adam, “They held you had knife point? Baby, you have to go to the police.”
Adam shook his head, “The label would drop me. You can’t say anything.”
Brad helped Adam up, “OK. You are smelly, dirty and cold. Let’s get you in a warm bath. I’ll even come in there with you and help you scrub.”
Brad went in the bathroom and ran the water. Adam was exhausted from not sleeping, hiking 30 miles in two days and crying. He let Brad undress him and guide him in the bathtub. Brad climbed in behind him and wrapped his arms and legs around him. Brad’s familiar touch was relaxing and did not make him flinch like he had with Kris. In fact, he wanted more as Brad was washed his chest.
“Spend the night with me.”
“I won’t leave, babe. I’ll stay here as long as you need.”
“Not just stay over.” Adam turned his head and kissed Brad long and deep. Brad kissed him back and continued to wash him more intimately. The water was cooling so they decided to get out and head to the bedroom. Brad heard a knock and the door,
“I’ll get that, babe, it’s probably Cassidy. He wanted to stay at my place tonight so I told him to come here to pick up the key. You get in bed and I will be back in a minute to let you ravage me.”
Adam went in the bedroom and tried to wait patiently. After a few minutes, he decided Brad and Cassidy were gossiping and could take all night. Better to drop an obvious hint and move Cassidy along. Adam went out to say hello to Cassidy still with just a towel on. Hoping to drive the point home, he came up behind a similarly clad Brad standing at the door. Adam wrapped his arms around Brad and kissed his neck before looking up to greet Cassidy. Adam froze as he looked into hurt brown eyes.
“Kris?”
