Tom could not understand why someone would write him off like that. He always saw Doug as his best friend and thought that Doug felt the same towards him. Oh how he was wrong. He was so angry, that Doug would betray him like that by writing that letter to the Big Brother program, they ended up in a huge argument at the centre of Doug's lounge room.

"I only did it because I care for you!" Doug stated quite loudly, "I know you. You always have to care for people all the time. Why can't you just see that I was trying to look out for you?"

"Care for me?!?" Tom spat out furious at what Doug was trying to convince him with. "That's your excuse? Nice try Doug, but your not gonna be easily forgiven this time." He had enough of this bullcrap Doug was trying the crawl himself out with "people who care for you don't write letters, bitching and complaining about how much a failure you are."

"You don't get it do you? I don't hate you, I really do care about what you are trying to do, none of that stuff that I wrote in the letter is true, I just said it so you wouldn't be rejected from the Big Brother project."

"Yeah well that's what you say now! Your just trying to drive me away, so I'll leave jumpstreet."

"God Tom!" Doug started to get just as fired up, he had such a wrong idea about what Doug's action's were for. Why can't he see that not everyone is out to get him?

"Look I'm not lying, you're the best partner I have ever had! I feel safe when I know you've got my back, you're a great guy and I think I'm in love with you!" He grabbed Tom's face and pulled him into a kiss. Tom did not automatically pull away like Doug anticipated he would, they stayed there for a while; locked in a kiss that neither could end.

Doug always had a habit of doing things he almost always regrets later, this was defiantly one of those times, but the adrenaline he was feeling, he just couldn't help but let those words come out and once he did, his brain stopped co-operating with his mouth.

After a short while Tom pulled out of the kiss if only for the need of oxygen. He stared at Doug amazed. That was the last thing he expected Doug to do at that moment.

"Oh… uh…" Doug was at a loss for words, for what just happened "I… uh…"

"You kissed me." Tom finished, still trying to get over the shock of what just happened.

"Yeah… I kinda did."

It was quite for a moment, both of them not knowing what to say, and then Tom couldn't handle it anymore and looked around. They were still in Doug's lounge room, which was where the whole argument took place.

All he could do was run, he did not say a word but jut ran through to hallway and through the door slamming it shut.

Doug remained in his lounge area, staring at where tom was standing a minute ago. Did that just happen? He thought to himself. What the hell did I just do? He'll never forgive me for this. First I betray him, and then I kiss him. He's going to hate me forever for this.

He sat down on his couch, which was where he was sitting right before Tom had stormed into his house. He had some explaining to do and a lot of thinking as well.

Tom was never much of a runner. He got halfway down the stairs and ran out of breath. He looked back, towards where Penhall's apartment was and he had not followed him out, which was a relief cause Tom was sightly freaked out.

Why did I run? Tom thought to himself He kissed me. I have fantasised about kissing Doug for so long that I don't even know what's reality anymore. He didn't catch a cab home like he normally would have; he walked the distance the whole mile going over in his head what everything that happened tonight meant.

The next day, Both Doug and Tom had lot's of paperwork to fill out so they would both be at work at the same time. Doug decided that he needed to talk to Tom and clear things with what happened. He had a plan of what to say. But then he walked in and saw him and al his coherent speaking went at the window.

He stood at Tom's desk a while before Tom looked up. "Uh hi." Was all Tom said then stood up, walking towards the basement where he hoped that he could have some privacy while he talked to his partner. Doug followed and as soon as they got down there, Doug lost control and blurted "I'm sorry!" then as Tom didn't answer or speak he continued "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry what I did, I just… it was a spare of the moment thing! I didn't mean anything by it just a way of shutting you up." He chuckled and before Tom could put in a word he continued "I really hope this doesn't do anything to our friendship, 'cause I really like you… as a friend… of course… and I don't want to loose it because you're my partner and a great friend and-"

"Doug!" Tom finally broke through Doug's non-stop rant, Doug looked up from the spot that he was staring at on his shoes and finally looked at Tom "Your blabbering."

The both chuckled, then Tom continued, "listen, I have been thinking about it all night, and the reason I ran out was not because I was scared, it just shocked me, because I didn't know you had feelings for me the same as I do for you."

Doug smiled "I'm sorry… it wont hap-" then realisation fell on Doug at what Tom had just said "Wait… did you just say 'the same as I do for you'?"

Tom smiled and replied, "yes. I did." He took a step closer, "Doug. Ever since that day that I first came to jump street, I had always felt something for you." He confessed, "But until now I had never said anything, because I never thought that you felt the same way."

Then he leaned forward, and placed a gentle kiss on Doug's cheek and then looked deep into his eyes, searching for what he hoped would be recuperated feelings.

Doug let a smile fall on his face, "Wow… this is a shock. I never realised that you felt the same way if I did I would have…" he stoped then looked away, slightly embarrassed at what he wanted to say.

"You would have what?" Tom inquired a little smile appeared on his mouth rather like the man that was standing opposite him.

"Doug...?"

Doug still didn't know how to ask, even though it was clear to both of them that they were feeling the same way, he didn't want to push it. So he just simply said "uh… do you want to come over after the paperwork's done and uh… I dunno drink… or something?"

It was clear to Tom what Doug was directly and indirectly asking him to do.

"I would love to." He said, now with a huge grin on his face, pulling Doug into a hug, then taking him silently upstairs to which they retreated to their appropriate work desk's, for the rest of the day.
