Adam snuck up behind Tommy and grabbed his waist, making the smaller

man jump and gasp. The redhead chuckled and kissed the blonds' neck;

holding him close to his chest. The blond fit perfectly there. It was

like they were two puzzle pieces that were made specifically to fit

one another and never be taken apart.

"Shit, Adam! You scared the fuck out of me!" Tommy exclaimed,

smiling and reaching his hand back and running his fingers through his

boyfriend's hair.

"I love scaring you, my darling. You're so cute…" Adam mused

back, kissing Tommy's cheek, not giving a shit about all the weird

looks and whispers of the students that passed them. They weren't

very accepting of their 'lifestyle' and thought it was immoral, but

whatever. That didn't matter at all. This couple was the top of their

game at this point.

This is Tommy Joe Ratliff and Adam Mitchel Lambert. They've been

boyfriends since they started high school, and now they're in the

12th grade, and couldn't be happier with each other. Sure, they

weren't the most popular couple (and most certainly wouldn't win

Prom king and queen), but they could care less about the opinions of

their ignorant classmates and peers because they had each other and

that was good enough for them. And to be honest, and trying not to

sound cliché, this wasn't just a petty little relationship that

would end after six months, it was true love. How many gay males find

their soul mate in high school? Not many.

Tommy rolled his eyes and kissed Adam's cheek, leaning into his chest

and sipping his vanilla milkshake. "You're such a loser,

ginger…" Tommy said, glancing up at Adam that had a few freckles

gracing his nose and bright red hair. The redhead growled, biting his

bottom lip as to not insult his boyfriend. He hated being called

ginger so much, and Adam wasn't one for violence, but if anyone -

other then Tommy- were to call him that, he would sucker punch the

sorry bastard. So he just shrugged and leaned over, taking the straw

within his mouth and sucking on it. The sweet taste of sugar dripped

down his throat.

"Whatever, elf boy. Now where do you want to go for lunch?" Adam

asked, smirking as he heard Tommy sigh angrily. Well, whatever,

payback's a bitch. And besides, he was Adam's little elf. It was

utterly stunning.

"I wanna go to…That sandwich place. You know that one with the

vegan burger you like so much," Tommy smiled and took Adam's hand

within his own and began walking to said diner. He threw the empty cup

in a trash can and leaned his head on his taller boyfriend's

shoulder. They didn't talk; they didn't need too. That was the

great thing about their relationship. They didn't need to talk in

order to communicate. It was amazing the way they read each other's

eyes.

Sure, they were polar opposites:

Adam was a straight A student who participated in theater and after

school activities. His parents were proud and accepting of who he was

with Tommy. And Adam was a happy teenager, loving every minute of his

life (except for the occasionally and random jock that would pester

him about being a faggot), and loved Tommy to the fullest.

Tommy on the other hand was a rebel; achieving straight C's and hated

everything about school and what it had to offer. His parents hated

him for being gay and shunned him for all he was worth, but they never

kicked him out. It was just extremely awkward. He didn't speak unless

spoken too, and they didn't talk to him. Normally he would just stay

in his room-which was completely alright for him. He would just text

Adam all the time.

But this is why they loved each other so much. They balanced each

other out which was perfect. But Tommy was about to tell Adam

something that would make their perfect relationship shatter before

their very eyes.

Adam sat down at a booth and ordered his vegan burger. Tommy ordered

the taco salad and stared at his chipped black nails, fiddling with

his fingers. He was gnawing on his bottom lip and Adam glanced at his

distressed boyfriend, laying a hand on his back.

"Boo, what's wrong?" the redhead asked, hating to see his

boyfriend in an uncomfortable position. If anything was out of order,

he would want to know and try to make his baby feel better. That was

at the top of his to-do list.

"N-Nothing…Just Adam, I have to tell you something…" he

whispered, looking away.

Adam froze, thinking the worst. Tommy was going to break up with him.

He knew it. Tommy was just too good for him and he wanted to break up.

He knew that if the blond didn't love him anymore, Adam wouldn't be

able to survive. Oh, shit-

"I'm moving to Florida…My parents think it'll be best if I move

away from you. They're hoping my grades will rise and maybe, by some

impossible miracle, I'll turn straight. I'm so sorry, baby,"

Tommy said, tears rising to his eyes, but he blinked them away, not

wanting to seem weak. Adam on the other hand pulled Tommy out of his

seat and into his lap, burying his head into Tommy's hair.

"Baby, I'm so sorry, I…" He was at a loss for words. His baby,

soul mate, sweetheart, was going to be taken away from him. The very

thought ripped his heart to shreds.

"No, don't apologize…" Tommy murmured, taking Adam's face

within his hand and looking at him hard. "I don't know when we'll

see each other again, but baby, we'll meet up, I promise…" he

mused, smiling.

He just hoped his promise wouldn't be broken.
