Adam put his hand on the bottle.

"Someone remind me why we're playing this trivial game again?" He said to his best friends.

"Because it's fun…?" Fulton said, but the statement came out more like a question.

Adam sighed and spun the bottle. It was no surprise that it landed on Charlie.

Both boys looked at each other in shock.

This cannot be happening! Adam thought.

Oh. My. God! Why?! Charlie thought.

The rest of their friends smiled.

"Well, this is certainly unexpected," Connie observed with a grin.

"That was a practice spin," Adam retorted. He didn't see the pain projected on Charlie's face when Adam said that. His friends did, but the love of his life didn't.

Does he not want to kiss me? Charlie asked himself. Why not?

"Nope. You gotta kiss. Those are the rules," Goldberg said, giving his friends sly smiles.

Adam and Charlie both looked at each other. They wanted to go into that closet at the prospect that they could kiss one another, but at the same time, they were like Mrs. Averman and Julie, not wanting to kiss or get together while they were in a closet with their best friends pushing at them to go in because of a silly little middle school game.

"Uh…I guess we have to go in Averman's closet now, huh?" Charlie asked, trying to stall. Adam knew what his best friend was doing and continued the little charade.

"I, uh, guess we do…" Adam continued.

"We know you're stalling," Ken said.

"Get in the closet before we push you in there," Guy demanded.

Adam and Charlie stood up and turned around. Adam opened the closet and made the "After you" signal to Charlie. Charlie went in and Adam followed. The Ducks leaned their ears again the door almost immediately after the door shut.

"Okay, the clock starts…now!" Lester yelled.

In the closet, the two boys, whom were extremely oblivious that they loved each other, looked at each other awkwardly.

"So, uh…" Adam started. "We're in a closet…and we're supposed to kiss."

"Yeah." Charlie scratched his head, even though the spot wasn't itchy. "This is kind of awkward, isn't it? I mean, I'm sure you like somebody and I'm sure he likes you back, so how about you imagine I'm him."

The words Charlie said hurt himself almost as bad as it hurt Adam to hear them.

"He doesn't," Adam mumbled.

"Huh?"

"The guy I'm in love with. He, uh, told me one day that he love somebody."

"Did you ever ask if that somebody was you?" Charlie inquired.

"No."

"Then how do you know it's not you?"

"WE HEAR A LOT OF TALKING IN THERE!" Dean yelled. "YOU GUYS KEEP TALKING AND WE ARE KEEPING YOU IN THERE LONGER!"

Adam and Charlie looked at each other in shock.

"Just imagine I'm the boy you love when we kiss. I'm sure he loves you back," Adam told Charlie.

"If he loved me he wouldn't be making plans with other guys," Captain Duck responded.

"Isn't he allowed to have friends?"

"Not friends that he was previously in a certain situation with."

Charlie immediately shut up and looked at Adam, hoping he couldn't figure it out.

"Like…a date perhaps?" Adam guessed.

"Yeah, exactly like a date," Charlie said, knowing there was no use in denying it. He hung his head.

"Well, maybe he does love you back, he's just afraid you don't love him."

Charlie's head snapped up and looked straight into Adam's eyes.

"Does this guy love me back?" Charlie asked.

The gang outside the door was getting angsty. The conversation inside the lightened closet was getting too much to handle. Connie and Julie were trying hard not to jump up and down and squeal. The other side of the Ducks' morals thought they shouldn't invade on a private moment. They simultaneously backed up and went upstairs, leaving the couple to talk.

Back in the closet, the two boys looked at each other.

"This guy has loved you since September," Adam said. "How long do you think this guy has loved me?"

"Not as long. A month," Charlie replied. "So now that we know the guy we each love loves us back, what do we do?"

Adam slid down the wall and sat on the ground. Charlie sat down in front of him. They knew their seven minutes were almost up. That didn't matter though, because the Ducks heard talking, and no doubt they would be keeping the boys in their for longer than seven minutes.

They had time to discuss and work this all out.

"This could ruin everything," Charlie observed.

Adam looked up from where his head hung, not looking at his hands anymore.

"You think I don't know that?" He basically bit off Charlie's head. "Do you think that that didn't keep me up all night some nights thinking that evne if you did break up with Linda and had even the slightest feelings for me that even if we did get together and break up it could ruin everything? Our friendship, our playing on the ice, the team? What would Coach even think about two of his members dating? It'd be different with us, we're two guys versus Connie and Guy."

And suddenly, they were talking in first person. They weren't talking hypothetical, they weren't talking third person, but they were talking first. It scared the crap out of both of them. Charlie huffed.

"It could either be the best decision or the worst decision we've ever made," he told Adam. "Personally, I'm hoping it's the former."

Adam continued to stare at the love of his life.

"I've wanted this for so long and suddenly…suddenly…"

"It gets complicated," Charlie finished for him. "I know. What are we supposed to do? Go on being friends and pretending we're not in love? I don't think I could handle that if we both know that the other is in love with them."

"Charlie, I don't know about this," Adam said.

Charlie grabbed Adam's hands, making the hockey player look up and lock eyes with his Captain. The gaze held for several moments, each trying to read what the other was thinking.

"You want to be with me like I want to be with you…right?" Number 96 asked.

Adam nodded.

"Since September," Adam answered.

"I know it's scary," Charlie said. "I'm scared too. I've only ever been with Linda and now…loving a boy, especially my best friend and teammate? That's scary to me." Charlie moved and sat next to Adam. Adam looked ahead, but Charlie looked at Adam, turning to his right. "Look, if we have a problem, we'll get through it together. We always do. You know, except for the Varsity/JV thing."

Adam turned and looked to Charlie. There were tears in the blonde's eyes.

"I know we'll get through it," Adam agreed. "It's scary to me, though. I've never been in a relationship before, even with a girl. It's frightening, especially that it's going to be with a boy."

Charlie brought Adam into a hug. He held the boy.

"So what happens now?" Charlie asked.

"I want to be with you," Adam said.

Adam looked up and Charlie looked down. Slowly, they brought their heads together and their lips met.

Fireworks appeared behind both boys' eyelids. Charlie pulled Adam closer to remove as much space as they could between their bodies, and Adam moved into a sitting position.

"I love you," Adam said as the two pulled away (although reluctantly thanks to the need to breathe).

"I love you, too," Charlie said, grinning as he gave Adam a quick peck on the lips. "So, what happens now?"

"Well, I ask you to be my boyfriend, we go out there, find our friends and quickly decide whether to be angry that they did the cliché push-in-the-closet thing or be happy that they got us to admit our feelings for one another."

Charlie nodded and smiled.

"So," he started, "ask the question."

Charlie stood up and Adam got down on one knee, taking Charlie right hand in his. He tried to be serious, both boys did, but it ended up cracking them up.

"Charlie Conway, will you be my boyfriend?" Adam asked.

"Yes, I will be your boyfriend," Charlie said. Adam got up and he pulled Charlie into another kiss. "Come on, let's get out of this closet. I'm sure our friends will be very happy to learn we're together now."

So when they went upstairs, finding no one outside the closet, they found their teammates laughing and talking while eating some nachos.

"Wanna save some for us?" Adam asked, making his presence known.

Their teammates turned around, shocked at the sound of his voice. They looked at their clasped hands.

"FINALLY!" Fulton yelled.

"Yes, it finally happened," Adam said, smiling at Charlie.

"After so long!" Julie said.

"After so much sexual tension between you two!" Ken continued.

"It's finally happened," Charlie agreed. "After a month."

"More like several months," Averman commented.

"Okay, okay, we get it," Adam said, smiling. "You've been waiting for this a long time."

"We've been waiting for Charlie to admit he loved you and then we were waiting for you bozos to admit you're in love with each other," Julie said.

Adam and Charlie smiled at each other.

"I think we agree with them that we've been bozos for the last month, right?" Charlie asked his boyfriend.

"I think you're right," Adam said.

"Okay, enough with the mushy mushy. Let's get back to the party!" Goldberg said.

They went back to the party and had a blast all night.

Oh my gosh they finally got together! Yay for them! Okay, I probably won't update this for a few weeks (at most) because school is really piling it on and it's only the second week! Also, I have to keep updating my GMW mult-chap story, too!

See ya later!
