OOOO

See, I've been waiting all day,

For you to call me baby.

So, let's get up, let's get on it,

Don't you leave me brokenhearted, tonight.

OOOO

"Why don't you just do us all a favor and kiss him already, idiot?" Heath looked at his old mentor, a look of confusion on his face. It would seem that Heath hadn't learned the art of subtlety from Jay.

"I don't like him like that. We're best friends. That's all." Jay denied. Heath continued to stare at him in disbelief. Did he really mean to continue to deny it like this? "Is it really that obvious?"

"About as obvious as the fact that Randy and John have been having sex since their feud started at SummerSlam. So, yeah, incredibly obvious." Heath rolled his eyes.

Jay looked over at Adam sadly. "I just… what if he doesn't feel the same way? I don't want to be an idiot and make a move when he's not interested. I don't want to ruin our friendship."

Heath shook his head. "It's obvious that he feels the same way, man. Don't worry about it."

"How would you know?" Jay asked. "You still can't even get up the courage to ask out Justin."

Heath looked at him indignantly. "That's an entirely different story and you know it. Justin just came out of a bad break-up. Adam's been single for three months. If you don't act, someone else will."

Jay's eyes darkened at the very idea of someone else touching his Adam. "You're right. I can't take a chance like that. Thank you." Jay said, before he wandered over to Adam.

Adam sat with a few of his other friends, most of which Jay wasn't well acquainted with. However, when Adam saw him, he excused himself and made his way over to his best friend. He was more than a little drunk, but he wasn't so far down that road that he lost his common sense. He knew better than to allow the men who flirted with him take him back to their hotel rooms. And if he did, Jay would be there to save him. He always was.

Jay led Adam out to the backyard of the hotel, where there was a little pond and several benches that sat around with torches around them. It was truly beautiful. Jay led Adam over to one of the benches and they both made themselves comfortable. Adam looked at him, totally confused. He batted his long, charcoal lashes at him sweetly. He looked gorgeous with the light of the moon on his face and the torchlight reflecting in his hair.

"Adam, I have something to tell you. I just… I need you to promise me that you won't be mad at me. Can you do that? No matter what, we'll still be friends?" Jay asked.

"Of course, Jay-Jay. No matter what, we'll always be best friends." Adam was quick to assure him.

Reassured by this fact, Jay let it all go. He told Adam about everything that he had felt for him over the years, from the lust to the love. He told him that he wanted them to be able to have a relationship, but he would never want to do anything that would hurt their friendship. And if Adam only wanted to be friends, then he could live with that. But he finished by taking Adam by the hands and looking him in the eyes, a small smile on his face.

"I love you, Adam. It may have taken me a little while to see that, but I do love you." Jay assured him.

Adam was silent for several minutes. It worried Jay terribly. But then, Adam smiled and leaned in and kissed him. "What took you so long?" Adam chuckled. "I love you too."

OOOO
