Flash Forward 2039
“Still not talking to me I see,” Adam remarked as Kris walked past him.
“Is that what you see?” Kris quizzed.
“So you are talking to me?” Adam smiled.
“No I am not,” Kris answered as he poured himself a cup of coffee.
“But it sounds like you’re talking to me,” Adam frowned. “You’re answering me.”
“Because I’m not a rude evil person,” Kris pointed out. “Like you.”
“You’re calling me evil?” Adam asked surprised.
“Exactly right,” Kris nodded.
“That’s a little much,” Adam frowned. “I’d hardly say what I did was evil. Hell I’m not even sure I did anything.”
“You let me…” Kris paused shaking his head. “I’m not talking to you.”
“I let you what?” Adam asked. “Talk to Brad? Is that what I did?”
“You knew I was under the influence of something,” Kris frowned. “You know what happens to me when I go to the dentist. You know I can’t handle drugs. And you let me just… carry on. Making a foll of myself. And in front of Brad.”
“You don’t even remember what you did around Brad,” Adam sighed. “You’re just imagining what you did. You haven’t even asked me what you did.”
“I don’t want to know,” Kris sighed holding up his hand to stop Adam from talking. “I just know for a fact that I would never do that to you. I’d never let you make a fool of yourself in front of people like that.”
“Excuse me?” Adam asked. “Seriously?”
“I’m being very serious,” Kris nodded.
“Okay,” Adam nodded. “Well lets you and me take a walk down memory lane.”
“But I’m not talking to you,” Kris frowned.
“Then let me talk then,” Adam said. “Lets go all the way back to 2009. To a time when things were simple. There was two young people in love. Two crazy kids in love, but there was a problem. It was a secret. You see these two crazy kids weren’t exactly out. Well one was, he was a handsome sexy man. We’ll call him the handsome Prince, and the other was… you.”
“What the hell are you going on about?”
“Shhh,” Adam smiled. “I’m doing the talking now. So these two crazy kids were in love and they wanted to tell the world, but before they could tell the world, they had to tell the people around them. And that started in Conway. As weird little place far far away. The handsome Prince had been through a hard time. You see he had just admitted to the crazy Allen’s that he had been having sex with their son.”
“Hey coming out to my parents was a lot harder for me than it was for you,” Kris frowned.
“The handsome Prince had a hard time too,” Adam frowned. “And it was about to get a lot harder. Because the handsome Prince was about to meet his man’s friends. And it turned into a weird, weird night.”

Flashback 2009
With the hard task of telling Kris's parents about them over with Adam and Kris decided to hang out with a few of Kris's friends in town. After a pain staking long time rooting around his case for something appropriate to wear Adam made his choice. A plain white t-shirt and dark jeans were the only things Adam had with him that didn't draw any attention to himself. Adam made his way down the Allen's staircase to find Kris standing at the front door waiting for him.
“Finally.” Kris said throwing his hands up in the air. “I thought you were up there designing the damn clothes.”
“I wanted to look nice.” Adam complained.
“And you do. You always look nice.” Kris answered as he pulled Adam to him by his t-shirt. “No make up?” Kris remarked as he looked at Adam's clear face.
“Thought I would give my face the night off.” Kris ran his hands up Adam's chest to wrap them around the back of his neck. “And I'm guessing you approve.”
Kris slipped his bottom lip between his teeth as he looked his boyfriend up and down. “Very much so.”
“Prove it.” Kris urged reaching up on his tip toes to run his tongue over Adam's lips.
Adam took the opportunity to pull Kris's body into his own as he opened his mouth to allow him access he was demanding with his tongue. Just as their make out session began to pick up steam the front door opened causing the singers to pull apart abruptly.
“Mama. Dad.” Wiped at his mouth thankful that Adam wasn't wearing any make up for once. “We were just....” Kris turned to Adam for help but all Adam could do was look at his shoes with great interest leaving Kris to cope with his parents alone.
“Going out?” Neil asked.
“Exactly. We were just going out.” Kris let out a nervous breath. “I was going to take Adam into town.”
Kris's mother smiled brightly at both men. “Well have fun.”
“And don't drink too much.” Neil Allen added. “And you can look up now Adam. The embarrassment is over.”
Adam's head shot up at the mention of his name to look at Kris's smiling parents. “We're going out.” He breathed out. “Into town. Kris is taking me into town.”
“I just said that.” Kris whispered.
“And we won't get drunk.” Adam leaned into Kris. “Did you tell them that?”
Kris shook his head slowly in a mixture of amusement and confusion at his boyfriend. “Nope. No I didn't tell them that.”
“Just saying.” Adam shrugged.
…..............................................
Adam looked out of the window of the car as Kris pulled to a stop.
“Here we are.” Kris said cheerfully.
“And here is?” Adam quizzed looking at the dinky old building.
“This is the club.” Kris answered unbuckling his seat belt to turn to his boyfriend. “Why? What's wrong?”
Adam looked from the club to his boyfriend. “What? Oh nothing. Nothing wrong lets go inside.”
“You hate it don't you?” Kris said. “I knew I should have taken you on a date to a fancy place or something outside of town.” Kris grabbed at his belt. “Lets just go.”
“Hey. No I want to see inside.” Pulling at Kris's hand Adam opened his door. “I want to see it from the inside.”
Kris climbed out walking around to meet Adam at his side of the car. “Are you sure. I know it's not your kind of place.”
“I'm sure I'll love it. I love you. That's all that matters.”
Kris slipped his hand into Adam's as they walked towards the entrance. “I hope so.” Kris said as he turned to see Adam smiling brightly at him. “What?”
“You're holding my hand.” Adam pointed out. “You've never done that in public before.”
Kris looked down and smiled at their entwined hands. “Come on.” He said pulling Adam inside.
The club wasn't to bad once they got inside. Adam found that if he just focused all his attention onto Kris then he wouldn't notice the bad fashion and horrible music that was surrounding him. Kris lead them both past the bar to the back of the club where a group of Kris's friends sat loudly laughing. Hugs and kisses were given all round to which Adam accepted fully. Any friendly gestures from Kris's friends were a good thing in Adam's eyes.
“So you look happier.” One of Kris's friends that Adam hadn't met yet pointed out.
“I am.” Kris smiled shyly at his boyfriend. “I've got a lot to be thankful for.”
“You've got the look of a man that's getting some hot sex lately.” Charlie pointed out causing Kris to choke on his drink. “And I take that as a yes.” Charlie smugly laughed.
“Oh my god you're seeing Katy again?” Another friend asked causing Adam to turn away and look around him.
“No.” Kris half laughed half gasped. “No I'm not seeing Katy.”
“But your seeing someone.” The pretty girl in the corner shouted across the table at Kris. “Come on Adam you must know.”
“Adam gave a shy smile. “Kris is a pretty secretive guy.”
The whole table turned towards Kris for his reaction. “Can't I just look happy? Does it have to be about sex?” They all gave him a look causing him to laugh. “Fine I'm seeing someone.” He answered gaining a loud cheer from his friends. Adam was the only one who stayed surprisingly quiet during it all.
“And who is she?” Another one of his friends asked.
“Just know that this relationship is very important to me.”
“We talking love?” Charlie asked.
“Big time.” Kris smiled slipping his hand under the table to grip Adam's knee. “It's love.” Another round of cheers came from the friends. “And I'm very happy.” Kris finished taking a sip of his beer.
Adam placed his hand over Kris's under the table and waited. He knew the group of friends wouldn't leave it there. They would want more details.
“And who is she?” One asked.
“Is she famous?” Asked another.
“Hot?”
“Good in bed?”
“Okay Okay” Kris held up his hands in front of him to stop any more questions being thrown at him. “It's someone very special. Yes they are famous. Yes they are very hot and yes the sex is amazing.” Kris finished Adam tried his best not to smirk but it wasn't working he was allowed to be smug at hearing that.
“We're going to need a name.” One friend pushed.
Kris breathed in deep gripping Adam's hand tight under the table. “His names Adam.”
Adam watched as all eyes landed on him. “Hi.” He smiled trying to break the silence that now surrounded the table. “My turn to get the drinks in I think.” Standing up from the table Adam leaned down to kiss Kris fully on the lips. “Back in a minute baby.” Adam walked to the bar leaving Kris to answer the next round of questions.
…..................................................................
It was a heavy pressure on Adam's back that caused him to open his eyes. The first thing he saw was a poster of some sort of football team that Adam couldn't name if he had a gun pointed to his head. The dull throbbing in his head proved that he had broken his promise Mr Allen of not getting drunk. Lifting his head off the pillow Adam tried to get up but found himself pressed against the mattress.
“Kris?” Adam crocked out wincing at the shooting pain in his throat. “Kris you need to get off my back.” Adam tried to move. “Kris.”
“What?” Kris mumbled.
“You're laying on my back. I need to pee.”
“I'm not on your back.” Kris moaned into his pillow.
Adam lifted his head from the pillow to turn. “Kris.... Oh crap.” Adam kicked at Kris's legs.
“Adam please I need to.....” Kris opened his eyes to find Adam laying beside him with Charlie laying between them with his head resting on Adam's back. “Adam what the hell did we do?”

“And that was the first time I ever met your friend,” Adam pointed out. “You’ve known Brad for thirty years.”
“I… I don’t have time to stand around here talking to you,” Kris said as he put his coffee cup down. “I’ve got places to me,” he added before walking out of the kitchen.
“And I believe I won that fight,” Adam smirked before picking up Kris’s coffee cup and taking a drink.
