wsA/N: I'm going to try to make this as much fluff or smut Nivanfield as possible so R&R and enjoy ^.^ (No Beta so all mistakes are my own .)


Maybe this could be the line

That starts the whole story

Maybe you could be the one

The one who's meant for me

I know that I should wait

But what if you're my soulmate?

I Know You Know by Big Time Rush

Flopping down on his bed, hair still damp from the shower he just got out of and now resting on his pillow in nothing but his dark green briefs. Piers had finally got the peace and quiet his mind has been begging for to sort out today's events. He finally got Chris's number but he wasn't sure exactly sure what to send him.

He sighed, throwing his arm over his eyes when his phone vibrated with a beep making him yelp in surprise. Half expecting it to be Sherry reminding him yet again about her upcoming birthday only having his heart freeze in his chest when he saw it was from Chris.

'Hey' He half snorted at Chris one syllable greeting.

'Itz 10 at nite and thts all u can cum up wit?'

Before he could even sit his phone back down it beeps, 'Thts all I have on a short notice take it or leave it.'

'I guess thts ok 4 nw, so wat r u up 2?'

'Grading sum papers be4 watchin 1 of my favorite movies'

'Wat movie would tht b?'

'Titanic, don't laugh at me. I'm a sucker 4 romance.'

'LOL omg'

'Come on I said don't laugh'

'I'm only laughing becuz tht happens 2 be a movie I liked. Is Claire watchin with u?'

'Nah she went over 2 Sher's place 4 tonite so it's just lil old me'

He tried to remember if Sherry mentioned anything about that, when an idea hit him but he wasn't sure if Chris would be okay with it or not.

'Well I could change tht'

Chris took longer to reply making Piers backtrack with a twist in his stomach, 'Srry tht was dumb I wasn't tryin 2 make uncomfortable I was just goin 2 watch the movie nothing else'

"No no I knew wat u were askin u just surprised me by askin… won't u get in trouble it's pretty late' Piers's stomach loosened with relief that he wouldn't mind them doing something together.

'Who said they have 2 know? ;)'

'Fine but hurry up I don't like having u out there alone'

It didn't surprise him Chris cared about his general safely (even if he barely knew that person) but the show of concern still made him feel a little warmer inside.

'Nothin bad really happens in Shadow Creek, I'll b over in 2 shakes'

He dashed off the bed half remembering he was still in his underwear thinking how embarrassing and maybe a little sexy if he showed up with nothing but them on. He grabbed some jeans, shoes, a sweat shirt and a hoodie before leaving his room and descending silently down the stairs and into the kitchen grabbing a bag of popcorn.

When he reached the door he heard a door upstairs open and he cursed inwardly, he froze but relaxed when he heard another door which might have been the bathroom door he and Nat shared before he slipped out the front door locking it behind him.

He walked down the dark streets slowing when he saw a bulky figure of what could only be another male walking his way a little too fast but before he could panic the man called his name. When he got close he breathes a breath of relief seeing it was Chris.

"Fuck dude don't do that you scared the crap out of me," he hissed pushing Chris in the shoulder.

"I thought you said nothing happens in here?" Chris asked and Piers rolled his eyes at the smirk on his face. "You were taking too long I was just making sure nothing happened," the glint of his eyes with worry.

"No I had to grab a few things, what's a movie without popcorn?"

"I think it would still be a movie."

"That was a rhetorical question." He sighed trying to hide his amusement with Chris grinning at his own joke, "Come on I don't want freeze out here."

Chris led the way back to his, letting the silence fill the air until they were inside the house. "Claire isn't going come back anytime soon right?"

Chris took the popcorn from him moving into the kitchen, "nah she's normally asleep at this time for school days; make yourself at home."

Piers watched him move about in the kitchen while he lounged, "You're such a gent when you want to be."

"Huh?"

"When I had that hangover remember, are you that nice to all of Claire friends?"

"I probably would have helped you even if you weren't her friend," he was smirking with two drinks and a bowl of popcorn. "Let's pretend that didn't sound like something a pedophile would say."

"Well your track record with kids isn't looking too good from where I'm standing." He grinned when Chris' grin turned into a scowl.

"Smartass… If my memory is correct it was your hand on my cock, if anything I'm the victim here." Chris handed him a drink and nodded his head for him to follow.

"It takes two to tango you know?" he asked a step in tow.

He could see Chris's face but if he listened hard enough he could hear Chris sigh, "I'm too much aware of that." Chris led the way to the back room in the hallway which he knew was Chris' room, he only really remembered this room from his dream which didn't help that his palms started to feel slick with sweat.

"The way you say that makes it sound…" he paused. "Was it…you know?" he swallowed passing his tongue over his lips.

Chris didn't seem to catch on till Piers clumsily indicated what he meant with his hands. "Oh… oh! No god no… I mean it was good. I mean better than good...I mean." He watched the color of his neck flush when stop talking abruptly taking slow deep breaths. "It wasn't that it didn't feel good or even wrong," he said each word slowly. "I can't pretend that what…whatever this is isn't a bad idea. This… this could ruin both of us the minute we get caught; I'd lose my job and end up in jail… I can't just leave Claire here by herself; I'm all she has left."

"Then why not turn me away it's not like I'm forcing this on you or anything, I know exactly what could happen. My dad would probably throw me out on my ass and have the rest of my family shun me for the rest of my existence and maybe even longer." He watched Chris fumble over his messy desk where he set the popcorn and his drink.

"Isn't that enough reason for you to want out?" Chris retorted.

"Maybe but someone told me once that if someone didn't love me for who I am then they never did to begin with," Piers smirks as Chris softened remembering the first day the meet.

"Who gave you that awful advice?" He snorted sitting on the bed with his drink in hand.

"Just some hot guy I live by," the room fell quiet for a beat before Piers spoke. "So what exactly is 'this' anyway? Like what… friends with benefits, though I wouldn't mind the benefits."

Chortling as Chris grabbed his drink, "I think if we're going to be doing anything we might want to start over, and I think this movie can be our little first date since I can't do a proper wooing." he patted the spot next to him while Piers fought off the blush creeping up his neck, "I promise to behave if you do the same."

"When do I ever misbehave?"

"What!? No it's not…okay maybe it is a little but I think that's what made this movie so great!" Chris tried to get his agreement across as the last of the movie played.

"Yea but this was only two ratings too high to be a Disney movie, but that might only be because he got some right before the boat ran into the iceberg. I like the movie… I just think it was really cruel to make two people fall in love then kill one off a few days later." Piers grinning around a well place popcorn while Chris stares at him "What?"

"Nothing… Tell me something. Something I don't already know." Chris voice was soft and probably huskier than he was going for.

"What do you want to know?" he popped popcorn into his mouth.

"Hmm, what do you plan on doing when you finish school? Surly someone as smart as you has to be planning for some major colleges."

"I think if I don't my mom would bite my head off but if I'm going to college; I told some friends I wouldn't up and leave for something like Stanford, because I'd really rather not deal with more rich assholes than I need to." Piers looked over when Chris grew quiet; he was staring at the TV with a pondering face.

"Is that your choice or did your 'friends' ask you to do that?" he finally said still not looking at him.

He could hear the quotes around friends, not that he tried to hide it, "No, if you hadn't noticed the only ones who have the grades not to mention the money is the girls. We can't all be trust fund babies like most of us. This is as much for me as it is them, so don't make assumption Chris." Chris turned to meet his glare with honest eyes.

"I'm not trying to pick a fight, sorry." He took one of Piers hands in his, instantly dropping his glare with wide eyes. "Just think of it as me being a little protective over you."

Piers tried to grimace to keep the smile off his face but the blush he couldn't find a handle on. "Well you don't have to worry about my friends."

He felt Chris use his thumb to draw little circles on the back of his hand that Chris captured, "Like I said sorry."

Piers leaned in to the touch, "Your turn to answer a question."

"Sure" he said easily.

"What happen to your parents?" he watched Chris' shoulder tense and look down at his hands. "Sorry I…"

"No its fine, it's still kind of hard to talk about but I want to tell you." He paused inhaling deeply and blew out, "Our dad was a soldier, and that's how he died…a soldier. You never think about anything happening until something does happen; I used to think my father was someone kind, strong, stubborn… un-killable you know? I remember it… the day they came to knock on this very door, I was just 11 and Claire was 1. It killed me to watch my mother cry so much, some days it got so bad she wouldn't get out the bed so I took care of my sister when I had to."

Piers interlock their joined hands and Chris looked up with a grateful smile, "I would say sorry but I'm sure there's nothing I can say that you haven't heard before." He was just impressed at how much Chris was actually letting him know. It explained Claire's avoidance and Chris's defensiveness on the subject.

"What would you be sorry for, you were still a developing fetus across the states when this happened. It got better for a little while; two years after all that my mother found someone. Paul was some gym owner on Parkway Street, I didn't think much of him really, but Claire adored him so I tolerated him. It seem like everything was coming at me from at all ends when I turned 16, I was finding out who I was on top of my mother getting sick from cancer. We went to visit her every day, but…" He broke off with a jagged breath.

Piers could see the hurt in his eyes like retelling the story caused physical pain; he hated seeing the look of defeat that the older man couldn't seem to shake off. He promised himself he'd never let him go through something like that alone, squeezing his hand for to let him know he was there.

"…I told her a week before she left us. You wouldn't believe what she said; she said she already knew that someone like me went years without a one girlfriend to show." He snorted smiling to himself, "Her only regret was that she was sad she wouldn't be here to see the lucky guy who'd make me forget all of this. I got so angry; it was like she was just giving up. I couldn't bear losing both my parents, but it was like I was some sick fucking pun to god punch. In the end I couldn't stay mad or sad; I knew that's not what she would have wanted and I had a sister to look after…She's all I have left."

"Your mother sounds like an all-around good person," Piers concluded. It was like looking at this man in a new light; he wasn't this 28 year old caring for his younger sister, he was still the same 16 year old who lost both his parents.

"Yea…she would have liked you."

"You think?"

"You're both free spirits, never afraid to let people know what they think and feel. I think that's where Claire gets her attitude from." He chuckled letting the silence fill the room as they sat on the bed.

"Is that why you left?" Piers asked quietly.

"Not really… it turns out I was your everyday meathead homophobic. He found out when I was just finishing my senior year at Taylor; said something about not being able to support the fag population." He snorted shaking his head.

"You don't sound that upset about that." Piers summed up looking at the amused glint in his eyes.

"That might be more because Claire ended up kicking him in his family maker, that day I don't think I laughed so hard before in my life." They shared a laugh before Chris looked at the clock (2am) and sighed, "I think you better get home…we're both already going to be tired we don't both want to be the walking dead at school in a few hours."

"Are you walking me back?" he questioned.

"Is that even really a question?" Chris asked. "Just leave everything I'll clean it up later." Piers nodded grabbing his hoodie, following Chris back to the living room and out the door. The walk was quiet, only the sounds of shoes and pavement till they were four houses down from Piers'. Piers opened his mouth to say something when Chris's arms embraced him around the waist, his face on his arm while Chris burrowed his face in neck. It took him a minute to throw his arms around his neck and trying not to feel like the teenage girl in this moment; they just held each other.

"Thanks for today" Piers didn't need to ask to know what he was thanking him for. "You're the first person I've told who didn't already know from being noisy neighbor."

Snorting into his shoulder, "Then I'm glad you could tell. I'm always a phone call away if you ever do need to talk."

He shook both of them with his laughter, "you trying to offer me a shoulder to cry on?" Chris was teasing but Piers could tell it was a real question.

"If you want to put it that way fine…but yea I kind of am." He finishes quietly, Chris pulled back enough with a far off look. "What?"

Instead he freed one arm to bring a hand to cup his cheek, touching the bluff on his cheek. "I know it's kind of meaningless at this point, can I?" he used the thumb on his cheek to brush it against Piers bottom lip.

It was hard to tell how long Piers was just standing there, the blood pumping so hard in his ears. Chris was just staring waiting, before Piers nodded not caring that they were pretty much out in the open and anyone could walk out and see them.

Not that he could think about anything else but the heat from Chris' hand and his lips when he brought their lips together in a passionate slow build kiss, Chris moaned into the kiss when he felt Piers's hands move to his bicep with firm fingers. Before Piers could deepen the kiss Chris pulled back and Piers almost whimpered at the loss, "I did say I was going to behave."

"I don't think I can if you tease me like that," Piers groans hiding his heated face into the older man's shoulder.

"I think we've push our luck for today, besides you look like you could use the rest more than I do." Piers could feel Chris's mouth in his hair when he inhaled. "Your hair smells fruity." He commented.

Piers laughed stepping back out of the embrace, "thanks I guess…I'll see you tomorrow or later which ever gets my point across."Chris nodded with a smile turning back to his house, but he could still feel Piers's eyes on him not looking back until he was in front his yard to see Chris smile before turning around to walk back home.

Piers touched his lip grinning to himself, glad that whatever they have isn't just on the sexual level but he still wasn't sure what he should call Chris yet. His is what… boyfriend? Not that he wouldn't mind staking a claim and it was something he could do if he wanted to…right?

Chris was definitely someone he wouldn't mind trying for if things were a lot simpler…yea he definitely would.
