Tonight Is The Night America
By C James
Tonight is the final performance show of what has been one of the most controversial seasons of American Idol since the show hit our screens in 2002. The two male finalists are completely different personalities and artists. The first is early favourite glam rocker and stage veteran Adam Lambert. Adam is known for his unique twists on well-known songs, high notes and unique style. The second is acoustic rocker and college student Kris Allen. Underdog Kris is known for his laid-back attitude and his spin on Kanye West’s Heartless during the top three week.
The talented former roommates have been the subject of numerous rumours about the extent of their relationship. The rumours started after Adam Lambert was mugged and Kris Allen was pictured holding the man’s waist as he walked out of the hospital. Having had fractured ribs before I can say that they hurt a lot if they are knocked.
The pair did an amazing duet of Seether’s featuring Amy Lee’s Broken, skilfully reworking the arrangement. The pair courageously performed a very theatrical performance singing the words of the song to each other as if they were living the song. Some decried the performance as being explicit or homoerotic, something the Fox network venomously denies. This reporter has to admit that Simon was right; it was a performance that people will not forget.
The pair have said that they are not going to think of tonight as a competition against each other because regardless of who is crowned American Idol 2009, they are both winners to get this far. In this reporter’s opinion, regardless of wins, they will both have successful careers. Tomorrow the 2009 American Idol will be announced and it is up to you to decide who will be plucked from obscurity and have their dreams fulfilled.

“Have you seen my belt?” Adam yelled as he searched the bedroom
“You’ve got loads; want to narrow it down for me?” Kris asked with a grin as he continued fixing his hair.
“The silver and red one I had on last night!” Adam said impatiently.
“On the banister, you hurled it there while ripping my clothes off,” Kris said amused.
“Oh yeah,” Adam said with a lustful laugh as he looked in the mirror, finally happy with his appearance.
Walking back into the bedroom Kris said in disbelief, “I can’t believe tonight is our last night of performing on the stage, our last night of getting judged...well that might be a good thing.”
“I'm sure Simon would be only too happy to critique your every performance if you want,” Adam said wryly.
Kris grinned, “Of course he would. Adam, I am terrified about tonight. The theatre is massive compared to the sound stage and the acoustics are different not to mention we will have a massive audience. It’s going to be a disaster when I mess up.”
Adam squeezed his lover’s hand saying, “Kris, you will not mess up and you sounded great in your rehearsals. The size of the audience doesn’t matter, they’re just people coming to hear you sing and that’s all you have to remember.”
“I guess you’re right. I was thinking that tomorrow...” Kris said quietly.
“Yeah?” Adam asked wanting to know what could be so worrying that Kris couldn’t come right out and say it.
Kris licked his lips before saying, “I want to that that last step, I want to feel your cock inside me, possessing me, making me feel amazing and totally yours.”
“Wow. You do realise that I'm not going to be able to think of anything else now,” Adam said with a smirk.
Kris laughed huskily, “You are not the only one, babe.”
Kris stared into Adam’s beautiful, intense, pure, aquamarine eyes and marvelled yet again, at how he had been lucky enough to have such an incredible man fall in love with him. He knew that he would have never been with Adam, if not for sweet, brave, wise, little Alison. She helped him get the one thing he needed more than anything - Adam. Kris knew there was no way he would ever be able to repay Alison for what she did but he would do his best.
“I love you, Adam.” Kris said realising he hadn’t said it that morning.
Adam smiled, “I love you too, baby boy. I don’t know whether to be excited or nervous about our parents meeting each other.”
“Personally, I’d say both but at least its lunch so we can make a quick getaway if needed. Let’s get your belt and go,” Kris said as he led the way upstairs.
Grinning Adam had to admit his partner had made a good reason for making the joint family meal lunch, not that Kris had explained his decision at the time. For Adam this was a monumental event, he had met exes’ parents before but he had never been to a joint meeting the parents event. He knew it had a terrifying potential for disaster. Grabbing his customary sunglasses, Adam followed and quickly put on his belt, smirking when he saw the button from Kris’ jeans by the door.
Pulling Kris into a passionate embrace, Adam shivered at he felt his lover’s hands moving down his back. He loved the voracious sex kitten Kris had become since they had started their physical relationship; it was amazing how responsive Kris was to his touch and how quickly Kris had learnt just what turned him on.
As the couple got into the car Adam explained to Robbie that they were going to a joint family lunch and the most dangerous thing that could happen would be awkward silences and nervous laughs. Robbie reluctantly agreed to let his charges go to lunch without him but he would be nearby just in case.
Kris squeezed Adam’s hand as they pulled out of the driveway, not knowing if he was trying to reassure Adam or himself. Kris desperately wanted needed his parents to at least like Adam and his parents because he couldn’t deal with everyone at war with each other.
*******
Once everyone was sitting comfortably around the rectangular glass topped table, Adam smiled at Kris who was sitting opposite him and decided to get everything started. He knew Kris was worried about the meeting end up a disaster and wanted to get everything off on the right foot.
Adam said brightly, “Mom and dad, I want you to meet Kris’ parents Kimberley and Neil. Kimberley and Neil, these are my parents Leila and Eber.”
“Nice to meet you,” Leila said with a smile, ignoring her son’s worried look.
“You too and feel free to call me Kim. I must say Adam is a very nice and well-mannered boy. I can see he really loves Kris.”
“Mom,” Kris said, his face flushing with embarrassment.
“Hush, I'm only telling the truth.” Kim said with a grin.
Eber smiled at the compliment before saying gently, “We can say the same for Kris. I don’t want to intrude but if you can phone us if need to talk to about everything.”
Neil nodded saying, “Thank you. Now I guess we had better look at the menu so we can get the boys ready to blow America away.”
Kris looked at Adam who gave him a thumbs up and an all-is-right smile. Adam’s stunning smile was one of the first things to catch his attention when they first met. The smile had immediately made him smile back, it didn’t hurt that Adam had an air of serenity that made his fears about getting through the heats disappear.
As they ate, Kris had to admit it was going far better than he had imagined. He wouldn’t say that his and Adam’s parents had become firm friends or anything over the course of one meal but they seemed to at least like each other and that was enough for him. He hoped that since Leila seemed to like his parents, she might end up liking him or at least realising he wasn’t some monster out to break her son’s heart. Kris was relieved that at least Eber was supportive of his relationship with Adam; he just hoped that Leila would grow to like him.
Kris was touched by Eber’s offer to be there for his parents should they need to talk since he knew that his parents may have questions that could only be discussed with other parents who had been in the same position.
Hours later Kris looked at his watch before saying, “Sorry but we need to get going. Rehearsals wait for no one.”
After paying the bill, Adam led the way out of the hotel, grinning widely. The meal had been okay and there were only a few silences. He knew one of the problems was that they were in public and so everyone had to watch what they said. At least it was one less thing for Kris to worry about meaning Kris could give his performances his full attention.
*******
“I can’t believe you did that!” Adam said incredulously.
Kris grinned at the shock in his lover’s voice at his impulsive and risky move. He couldn’t resist calling Adam by his pet name when his lover nuzzled his ear and kissed his head during their filmed three-way hug with Paula. He didn’t know if the microphones had picked up his words but didn’t care since he was tired of hiding. He was disgusted that society was such that people had to hide in the first place simply because they had fallen for someone of their own gender. Even before had had fallen for Adam, he had felt disgusted about how society as a whole treated anyone who was different.
“Love, I'm sick of watching what I say to you or what I do with you in public.” Kris said wearily.
Taking his Kris’ hand and gently caressing it with his thumb Adam said softly, “We don’t have to do this for much longer, love. Just hold on one more day.”
“I can do that,” Kris said honestly.
As they walked out of the studio, Kris put one hand around Adam’s back knowing people wouldn’t find it weird since they had always been very physical with each other. He had noticed in the American Idol scrapbook his mom had been keeping that most of the photographs featuring the two of them had them touching each other in some way. It wasn’t until his mom had said that she had known he and Adam were really close going by her scrapbook that he realised how tactile he and Adam were regardless of being out in public.
Once they were in the car, Kris nestled against Adam feeling all of his anxiety about the finale disappear. He had learnt early on that Adam had an amazing ability for making him feel relaxed and at peace. Kris smiled remembering when everyone had realised that if he was feeling moody the only solution was to get Adam to bring him out of it.
-Flashback-
Kris sighed contentedly feeling all of his tension drain away as Adam massaged his neck. Kris’ day had been horrendous; he couldn’t get the song arrangement right, he had messed up the choreography for the group dance, and he feeling stifled inside the Idol bubble but Adam made it all fade away. With an easy smile, Adam had commented that Kris was looking a little stiff, quickly joking that it wasn’t the good kind of stiff before gently asking him to turn around. Feeling Adam stop the movement of those talented hands, Kris turned back to face the TV, head falling onto Adam’s shoulder. He smiled softly when Adam’s arm fell over his shoulders; Adam always seemed to know how to make everything better.
Hearing people approaching them, Kris looked up to find Michael Sarver, Matt, Megan, Anoop and Alison walking into the lounge. He smiled at them as they sat down, feeling too comfortable to move.
“Don’t you look like that cat that got the cream,” Megan said brightly to Kris.
“You look a lot better. At least we don’t have to walk on eggshells around you,” Alison said with a grin.
“I feel a lot better. You can thank Adam for getting rid of moody Kris,” Kris answered with a quick, affectionate look at Adam.
“You should be careful, Kris.” Michael Sarver said calmly.
Kris narrowed his eyes at the seemingly friendly tone, taking in how the man was looking at Adam with a strange mix of anger and hate. He felt Adam’s body tense, it was only a minuscule change but he was used to reading Adam’s body language.
Making a concerted effort to control himself Kris asked, “Why?”
“Your choice of friends says a lot about you. If you are friends with someone who has made some corrupt choices, people will think you are the same. Sleeping with someone of your own sex is immoral.” Michael replied, pointedly looking at Adam who had announced his sexuality when they all moved into the mansion.
Eyes glinting dangerously Kris snarled, “My choice of friends has nothing do to with you and I don’t care what people think or say about Adam and I. You are nothing compared to Adam, you don’t even deserve to breathe the same air as him. If you ever talk about him like that again, I will make you wish that you had never been born.”
Feeling Adam rubbing his neck softly, Kris felt some of his anger dissipate but he would not forget Sarver’s attitude. Needing to escape before he punched Sarver, Kris stood and looked at Adam surprised at the awe in those expressive eyes.
“Let’s go to our room, Adam. We can get started on your guitar lessons.” Kris said calmly, knowing he couldn’t be in that room any longer or he would punch Sarver.
“Sure, honey.” Adam said with an easy smile, awed that Kris was so passionately protecting him.
Adam and Kris left the room in silence, neither looking back at Sarver. Kris couldn’t believe how Adam was able to just ignore such malicious words; it spoke of a terrible amount of experience with such hatred. Kris couldn’t do anything about the verbal abuse Adam had been subjected to in the past but he could prevent it happening again. No one would talk about Adam like that while he was around.
-End Flashback-
As they walked into the mansion Adam purred, “Go and get changed. I'll meet you in the lounge. I’ve got a surprise for you.”
Seeing the mischievous sparkle in Adam’s eyes, Kris did as requested. Running down to the bedroom, he got a quick wash before changing into his boxers and going back upstairs. Walking into the lounge, he found candles around the room and a selection of strawberries, orange slices, pears and raspberries splayed around a plate in the middle of which was a bowl of melted chocolate.
“Like it, love?” Adam asked huskily as he walked up and hugged Kris from behind.
Turning to face his lover Kris said honestly, “This is amazing. What’s all this for?”
Adam shrugged, “We haven’t had a real movie night date and we need to relax. Now we have two films to watch, Once and August Rush. August Rush is a kinda fairy tale drama about an orphaned musical prodigy who uses his music to help him find his birth parents. The music is good and it’s a great feel good film. I thought we could watch August Rush first, if that’s okay?””
“This is perfect,” Kris said as they sat down on the sofa.
Adam switched on the DVD whilst dipping a orange slice into the chocolate and slowly feeding it to Kris. Kris smirked as he took the offered fruit before grabbing hold of Adam’s hand, sucking the chocolate from Adam’s fingers, delighting in the resulting hiss of pleasure.

“Come on, sleepyhead,” Adam said fondly as he gently stroked Kris’ hair.
Sometime during the second movie, Kris had moved so that he was lying down with his head on Adam’s lap. Adam had simply started carding his hands through the soft, brown hair, smiling widely when he heard Kris start to snore. He was content to just sit there with Kris so he had lowered the television and changed to a news channel. Now it was two a.m. and he had to get to bed or else he would be in a bitchy mood the next day.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing’s wrong, we just need to get to bed. Have you brushed your teeth, love?”
“Yeah,” Kris said as he sleepily stood up.
Adam gently guided Kris down the stairs, thinking how cute and adorable sleepy Kris was. Once in the bedroom, Adam quickly pulled back the covers and gently told Kris to lie down.
“Where...you...going?” Kris asked falteringly.
“I'm just doing my teeth, love. I won’t be a minute,” Adam said sincerely before rushing to the bathroom to do just that.
When Adam got back to the bedroom, Kris patted the empty space on the bed next to him. Adam got into bed and lay down, smiling softly when Kris moved closer.
“I love my Adam,” Kris said with a yawn.
“And I love my Kris,” Adam said honestly before saying, “Go to sleep, baby boy, we’ve got a big day tomorrow.”
Adam was apprehensive about the next day since it promised to be full of drama. First thing, they had an appointment with Kris’ divorce lawyer followed by gruelling rehearsals for that night’s performances. They mostly had to rehearse the group numbers, which would be good on one hand because they got to meet up with everyone.
