Part: 7/? – The Search for Adam

OOOO

"I'm not sure about this, Adam." Once the two men arrived at the actual hotel room, Jeff made his insecurities known. "You made it rather clear where I rate in a contest between me and Jay. I don't want to be second best."

Adam shook his head. A flurry of blond hair fell down onto his shoulders. "You're not second best, Jeff. It was a mistake to think that Jay could ever love me. He's obviously head over heels for Lilly."

Jeff looked at him sadly. "You lied to me, Adam. You said that I wasn't second best, but then you admitted that all I could ever be is a consolation prize. I can't do that to myself, Adam."

"Jeff, I -," Adam was about to retort, when all of a sudden the room lost color and Jeff's body became still and lifeless. What the hell?

Instinctually, Adam turned around to try and discover the cause for this unusual occurrence. But when he turned around, he saw that the far wall of the hotel room had vanished. Instead, he looked off into the forest that Trish had sent him to when he said that he needed a breath of fresh air. He could hear voices in the distance. And then, he saw a collection of shadows start to materialize in the distance. Seconds later, Adam saw Jay. The real Jay. He was still dressed in his suit, a look of worry on his handsome face as he searched for Adam.

Adam's heart started to beat erratically in his chest. Could it be? Slowly, he slid off of the bed and walked over to this new wall. He reached out to touch it, but the wall was like water. When he would touch it, it would tremble and shatter. It was all an illusion. It was what he wanted to see, but it wasn't the truth. The truth still lay on that bed, colorless and immobile. He would be with Jeff because Jeff was the one who loved him, Jeff was the one who cared about him… Jay was in love with Lilly and always would be.

"Adam?" Adam's green eyes followed Jay's body as he moved toward Adam's frozen frame. His eyes were wide open and he was breathing softly, but he didn't respond to the sound of his name. "Adam!"

Suddenly, the wall returned to the wall of the hotel room and all of the color came back. Jeff started to move once more, his arms loosely circled around Adam's lithe waist. Was this true? Was Jay really looking for him, and this world that he was in now was little more than a horrible nightmare? Had Trish sent him to this world because she didn't want him to be with Jay? Did she want him to suffer? Jeff released him and slid off of the bed. He knew what the silence meant and he didn't want to deal with another rejection.

"I can't do this, Adam. You still love Jay and I refuse to be your rebound." Jeff said. "I know that I can never be 'that man' for you, but I can find someone who will accept me for who I am."

All of a sudden, there was a knock on the door. "Adam? Adam, are you in there?" It was Jay.

Jeff's shoulders sagged and he rolled his eyes. "Great."

Quickly, Adam took Jeff by the hand and threw him down on the floor. "Get under the bed!"

Jeff looked at him as if he had grown a third head. "What? Why the hell would I get under the bed?"

"Just do it!" Adam climbed off of the bed and shoved him underneath, before he looked himself over once in the mirror. He looked disheveled and mussed, but he couldn't do much about that.

"Adam? Adam, are you in there? I think that we need to talk." Jay said.

"I'll be there in a minute!" Adam exclaimed.

After several more minutes of deliberation, Adam raced over to the door and answered it seconds before Jay could hit it one more time. The two stared at each other for several minutes. The first thing that Adam noticed was the fact that Jay had the ring box in his hand and Adam was willing to bet that Lilly's ring was still inside. Jay looked scared and uncertain, which were two things that Adam thought that he would never associate with his best friend. The man he loved looked down at the floor, and Adam stepped to the side a little bit so he wouldn't see Jeff under the bed.

"I… I tried to talk to Lilly today. I wanted to ask her to marry me, just like I said I would. But then, I thought more about the way it felt to kiss you and…" Jay trailed off. He honestly didn't know what to say.

"I thought that you said that you were so totally enamored with Lilly and didn't care what it felt like to kiss me. After all, Lilly is the most important person in the world." Adam hissed. He really didn't like that girl.

"I did and… well, the more I thought about it, the more I realized how idiotic that sounded." Jay said.

"What are you trying to say, Jay?" Adam asked.

Jay didn't have any more words to say, so he kissed his blond instead.

OOOO
