Adam sighed as he picked at his breakfast. He wasn't really in the mood to socialize but Charlie asked for everyone to join him at the diner for breakfast. He could never say no to Charlie. He glanced across the table at Charlie. The other boy was talking animatedly with Bombay and Orion. He wasn't even sure why Bombay was in town. Probably to visit. Not that he didn't miss having his former coach around. Sighing again, Adam decided to attempt to eat something.
"Hey Adam."
Adam was surprised to find his former team mate standing across of him. "Larson."
"Your mom said I could find you here." Larson said with a nervous grin. He glanced at the Ducks, who were glowering at him. He cleared his throat then looked back at Adam. He tossed him a small wrapped box. "Happy birthday. See yah."
Adam caught the box and stared curiously at it. He opened it and stared at the miniature hawk in it with the words, 'I love you' stitched on it's side. He blinked then shook his head. "Excuse me." He said as he got up. He quickly followed after Larson. He hadn't gone far. "Larson Reeves you're a brat." He said with a huff.
Larson grinned as he stopped. "No. I just love you."
"But I don't love you." Adam looked so apologetic. "Not like that."
"I know." Larson said. "And a part of me hates him for taking your heart."
Adam looked so damn guilty.
"Hey now, don't give me that look." Larson said. "I just want you to be happy. And if it means pinning away for that jack ass then I'll stand back. I just wish you would give me a chance."
The Ducks watched as the two talked. The two seriously hadn't moved far. They were actually in front of the diner's large window. Charlie glared at Larson when he saw Adam's face drop. He looked so devastated. He was going to kill Larson for putting that look on his Adam's face. He was so pissed with the Hawk that he hadn't even noticed that he had mentally put a claim on Adam.
"Who is that?"
"Larson Reeves. Adam's former team mate." Fulton answered Portman's question.
"Didn't know today was his birthday." Julie said. "How come I didn't know?" She demanded while looking at the other Ducks. "Why didn't you guys say anything?"
"I didn't know either" Connie admitted. "I never bothered to ask."
"Did anyone?"
Before anyone could answer Goldberg's question, Averman gave a shout of surprise.
"What?" As one, they turned towards the two boys outside. Their eyes bugged out when they saw Larson kissing a shocked Adam.
That was all it took for Charlie to snap. With a growl, he got up and stomped outside of the diner.
The others watched with wide eyes as Charlie yanked Adam away from Larson. He was glaring at Larson while he wiped at Adam's lips.
"What's going on?"
"I think Captain Duck is claiming his mate?" Russ said, or more like asked. His jaw wasn't the only one to drop. Right there in front of them was their Captain Duck kissing the daylights out of Adam.
No one said anything for a long while. They could only stare at the kissing boys. It was Dwayne who spoke up. "So, does that mean Adam's the mama duck now?"
