Summary: Kris got a surprise from Katy
Notes: Takes place about three years after Idol. Just something that pop's into my head. It's unbetaed, so please excuse the grammar mistake. Comments are greatly appreciated, thank you.
Kris Allen, former American Idol winner with 2 Grammy awards, and 2 platinum albums is dead tired. He just arrived in New York four hours ago from London, only to be dragged by his lawyer for a discussion of his newest album, then trapped by the paparazzi, then an impromptu hugs, photos, and autograph session with his fans that suddenly knows that he had arrived in New York, by the time he enters the hotel lobby his head is spinning more than a wheel can spin and all he wants right now is a bed to sleep and maybe someone to snuggle with. He really wants to have both of that, but one can’t be too greedy, at least a bed is easy to obtain.
He walks to the reception counter to ask for his key room, the receptionist gave him the key and an envelope.
“A message from Mrs. Allen sir”
He nods his head as a thank you gesture, grabs his bag, guitar case and dragged himself to the elevator. He presses the up button and waited. He can feel his stomach growling for some substance, he probably needs a shower too, but he just want some sleep right now, food and shower can wait. He closes his eyes waiting for the elevator, and almost fell asleep standing.
The ding from the arrival of the elevator surprises him, he enters and press the floor number, 28, even inside the hotel he still have to defy gravity first before getting some rest. As the elevator ascends, he remembers the envelope, the message from Katy.
My dearest Kristopher,
First of all let me make it clear that I’m still in Conway and not in New York, and I know you must be dead tired right now. I can imagine you dragging that guitar of yours, just managing not to fall asleep as you walk. I know you’re hungry and bit smelly, but you’ll just crash into your bed without any food or shower, that is why I have arranged a surprise for you in your room just to make sure that you are taken care of, you can call me to say thank you in the morning.
Love,
Katy
Kris can not help but grin as he reads his wife words from that piece of paper, she knows him to darn well. Another ding announce his arrival to his floor, although he still dragged his guitar case and he still want nothing but sleep, he also can’t wait to see the surprise Katy has prepared for him.
He arrives in front of his room, 2810, unlock the door, step in and as the door closes he was assaulted by the smell of another person very dear to him, the smell of nail polish remover, hairspray, and eye cream. He closes his eyes thinking there is no way that person is here, the last time he texted him, he’s in L.A adding a finishing touch for his next album, so there’s no way he’s in New York inside his hotel room. Eyes still closed, Kris took another breath; still that specific combinations of smell assaulted him.
“Surprise” a soft and very familiar voice in front of him made him opened his eyes.
“Adam” he said the man’s name as he exhale the breath he was holding, as if Adam is a balm for his weary body.
Adam open his arms, in a matter of seconds Kris was hugging him, guitar and bags dropped carelessly in front of the doorway. He buries his head into the older man’s shoulder, trying to breath in the scent, taking it all in, while the other just hold him in place.
“Oh baby, you’re too tense and tired, you haven’t taken care of your self have you?” Adam’s question is answered only by a shake of brown hair on his shoulder.
“Come one, shower first, Katy send me some of your clothes, there are all in the bed room”
Another shake and a mumbled “Sleep” is the only answer he gets.
“Nu’uh, Katy sends me here so that you’ll get taken care of. Now get into the shower, I’ve already order some food from the room service, then after you can get your sleep” all this he said while rubbing soothing circles on Kris’s back, only making him more sleepy as he snuggled deeper into Adam’s shoulder.
“Come on, Krissy. Let’s get you cleaned up first” Adam said as he tried to peel the younger man off of his shoulder.
“Okay, but you owe me a hug and a cuddle” Kris said as he released his hold from the older man. A chuckle and a kiss to the head is the answer as Adam usher Kris to the bathroom.
“I’ll wait in the sitting room with the food, okay”
“Hm” An agreement answers from the smaller man.
-00-
The shower helps, not a lot, but Kris feels more human after that. Maybe Katy and Adam was right, he hadn’t taken good care of himself. He picks a pair of boxer shorts and a white T-shirt to sleep in; the bed is very inviting but the smell of food wafting from the sitting room already causing a loud stomach grumble.
“Kris, have you finished showering?”
“Yeah, I’m coming”
He made his way to the sitting room, to find Adam eating a slice of pizza, his face devoid of make up, nails un-polished, he wore a pajama pants and a black T-shirt with pink skull printed on it, sequined eyes adorned the skull.
“Pizza?”
“Easy to eat by hand, and fast” Adam explained, “Here’s your plate, do you want some wine with the pizza? Or just water?”
“Water please” he stuffed himself a slice of pizza.
“Eat here or in the bedroom?” as Adam gave him a glass of water.
“Bedroom” Kris’s feet already making its way to the bedroom, a plate of pizza slices in one hand and a glass of water in the other.
They sat on top of the bed, enjoying the silence and the pizza, by the time Kris finishes his last pizza slice his eyes are already drooped in half. Adam took the plate to the sitting room, while Kris just slips inside the cover and lean on the headboard. All he wants now is to just fell asleep, but his curiosity just bugging him right now.
“How come you’re in New York?” He asked when Adam comes back from the sitting room.
“Because I’m your surprise from Katy”
“Seriously Adam” Kris asked again as Adam slips inside beside him.
“I’m serious, Katy called two days ago. She said to me that you’ve been on the road non-stop since the last time we’ve met and you haven’t taken care of yourself, you’ve exhausted yourself and still managed to manipulate your care taker in thinking that you’re okay”
“I didn’t manipulate them, I just don’t want them to be bothered by me” Kris replied as he slides closer to Adam.
“Anyway, since I’ve been nagging her about how I miss her and you, and I guess you’ve been nagging her about how you miss her and me, she managed to make me your homecoming surprise. She’s in the middle of a final test so she can’t come; she gave me permission to manhandle you into taking a proper rest and this is her words ‘as long as you tell me all the details or there is a video evidence you can manhandle him into every position you want’” Adam ends it with a chuckle as Kris thrown his hand across Adam’s waist and pulled the larger man closer to him.
“I really do love your wife” Adam continued
“Yeah, I love her too, and I also love you Adam Lambert” he kiss the shoulder where he snuggled into and started drifting into sleep. He can hear Adam’s heartbeat lulled him, the steady intake and outtake of Adam’s breathing comforting him as nothing else can. There are only two people who can make him feel as safe and as comfortable as he feels right now. One is far away in Arkansas, but the other one is here, sleeping beside him.
A soft kiss landed on top of Kris’s head, a whispered “I love you to Kristopher Allen” was the last sentence he heard before sleep took him away.
