Summary: Adam and TommyJoe are eighteen and have just graduated from high school. Their parents force them to go on one last family vacation over the summer and they both thought things couldn’t be worse… that is, until they meet and fall in love.
SUMMER LOVIN’
Adam and TommyJoe were cooped up in Adam’s room in the beach cottage his family was staying at after they’d spent the morning on the beach. Adam’s arms had started to burn and he had complained about all the freckles he was going to get because of it until TommyJoe had rolled his eyes and finally said they could go inside.
Now they were laying on Adam’s bed, TommyJoe nestled into Adam’s side with his head on Adam’s chest. They hadn’t said anything in a while, both of them worrying over the same thing, though neither of them knew it. TommyJoe was the first to speak up. “Adam?”
“Hmm?”
“What’re we gonna do once summer’s over?” TommyJoe asked.
“Probably go back home,” Adam answered.
TommyJoe swatted him in the stomach and said, “No, I mean, what’s going to happen to us?”
Adam chewed on his lower lip in thought. He knew what he wanted to happen, but he wasn’t sure about TommyJoe. This was, after all, the other teen’s first gay relationship. “What do you want to happen?” Adam finally asked.
Tommy sighed heavily. “I just wish the summer wouldn’t end. I like spending time with you.”
Adam ran his fingers through Tommy’s bleached hair, soft and down from its spikes for once since they’d gone in the ocean. “I like spending time with you, too,” he murmured. “But summer’s going to end at some point and we’ll both be going back home.”
TommyJoe turned his face into Adam’s tank top and clung to him. “Don’t wanna,” he muttered like a petulant child.
Adam chuckled lightly and sat up, bringing TommyJoe with him. He framed TommyJoe’s face with his large hands and smiled. “Listen, we may be leaving the beach, but we’re not leaving each other,” he said. “I’m not leaving you. Burbank isn’t that far from San Diego.”
“Two hours,” TommyJoe interjected.
Adam nodded. “Two hours isn’t that bad. We’ll get to visit all the time. I promise.”
Tommy’s brown eyes looked at Adam’s blue ones sadly. “Will you call me every day?”
“That depends.”
“On what?”
“If this is more than a summer fling for you.”
“Of course it is, Adam,” TommyJoe said as he reached up to squeeze one of Adam’s wrists. “I wouldn’t want a summer fling to call me every day after summer was over. Why would you think this is only a fling for me?” Adam let his hands drop from Tommy’s face and wrung them together, his eyes cast downwards. “Adam?” TommyJoe asked quietly, his fingers curling under Adam’s chin to make the older teen look at him.
All Adam could feel was insecurity at this moment. When he’d first fallen for TommyJoe he knew it would be bad when Tommy decided that he wasn’t bi or gay or whatever; that this was just an experiment for him. But now that Adam had realized he was in love with TommyJoe, things seemed so much more complicated. All of his high school insecurities came flooding back. He didn’t want to admit it, but more than once he’d been other guys’ gay guinea pig; there just to experiment with, to see what it was like to kiss and touch another boy. He didn’t want that with TommyJoe. He didn’t want it to end that way.
Apparently he’d gotten lost in his own thoughts by the way TommyJoe gently prodded him in the shoulder. “Penny for your thoughts?” Tommy asked.
Adam sighed and scrubbed his face with both hands. “I just… I’ve been the guinea pig before,” he explained. “And when those boys were done experimenting with their sexuality and decided they were still straight or whatever, I was left heart broken.”
“Damn, Adam. I’m sorry that’s happened to you,” TommyJoe said. “But did you think that was going to happen with me?” Adam looked down at his hands and shrugged. “You listen to me right now, Adam Mitchell Lambert; you are not an experiment to me. I know who I am. Just because I’ve never had a boyfriend doesn’t mean I don’t know my sexual identity.”
Adam looked at TommyJoe through his thick eyelashes. “Then what are you?”
TommyJoe made a face. “I hate labels; absolutely hate them. But I identify as Bisexual. I like tits and I like dick.” Adam laughed quietly making TommyJoe smile. “Are you done freaking out now?” TommyJoe asked gently.
Adam shrugged. “Maybe.”
“Tell me what you need from me,” Tommy pleaded. “I will reassure you to no end if that’s what you need. Just… tell me what you need.”
Adam gnawed on his lower lip a moment before speaking quietly. “I need you to tell me what you want from this relationship. Where you want this to go. Do you want to be exclusive? Do you want a friends with benefits type of deal? What? I just… I need to know.”
TommyJoe sighed and cupped Adam’s face in his hands. “I don’t want you sucking someone else’s cock when I’m not around,” he told Adam. “I don’t want you holding someone else’s hand or cuddling with someone other guy. I want you to save all that for me.”
“You want to be my boyfriend?” Adam asked.
Tommy nodded. “Yes. I just want it to be you and me… am I allowed to have that? Is that what you want?”
Adam looked at TommyJoe shyly. “Yeah, that’s what I want.” TommyJoe grinned and leaned in, pressed his lips to Adam’s in a hungry kiss.
“I want you all the time,” he murmured as he climbed into Adam’s lap. “I don’t want anybody else. Just you,” he said between kisses.
“I can do that,” Adam replied softly.
After a searing kiss that left him breathless, Adam rested his head against TommyJoe’s. “You know I’m going to miss being with you every single day, right?”
Tommy bit his lip. “I don’t know, are you?”
“Of course I am,” Adam told him.
“Good, because I’m gonna miss you so much.”
“I love you, TommyJoe,” Adam whispered.
Tommy’s eyes went wide in surprise then a grin split his face. “I love you, too, Adam.” They kissed softly both secure in the fact that the summer may be ending but this wasn’t going to be just another summer romance for them. This was forever.
