Adam's POV
Charlie had a fantastic body, not overly muscular but firm and toned in all the right places and there was no other way I'd rather spend my time then cuddling into him.
"Have I ever told you, I love your chest?" I asked running my middle finger between his pecks.
"Not that I can remember no. But I always wanted to be built more like Portman." He admitted folding his arms under his head.
"Nah, he's got too many muscles, he's all lumpy." Of course in my opinion no one looked as good as my Charlie anyway. Can you believe he actually laughed at me?
"You know sometimes you sound like such a chick."
So I rolled over and kept my back to him for a good ten minutes. Charlie was getting all worked up because he thought I was really sulking. If he could've seen my face he would've know otherwise but that would've ruined the fun.
"I'm sorry you're not chicky. Come on Adam look at me, look at me. I'll make it up to you. What do you want?" Still I said nothing.
"Let's go to the rink from the peewees." As soon as he said that I was all over him like cheese on a Big Mac.
"Are you serious? Because if you just said that so I wouldn't be mad it backfired cause I wasn't mad before but I would be if we don't go."
He looked at me strangely and chuckled again, "No I wasn't joking, we haven't been there for years let's go."
I shot out of bed like a rocket, promptly realizing I wasn't wearing any pants. I swiftly leaned over and pulled my jeans from the floor beside the bed and yanked them up as Charlie scowled, "I liked the blue silk boxers better."
"I know, unfortunately that may frighten any children that may be at the rink." I tugged my shirt over my head "Now get up, let's go."
"I'm getting up see, I'm moving. We need to stop and get something to eat first."
"Hungry?"
"Starving, I worked up quite the appetite, keeping up with you in strenuous activity. With your stamina I'm surprised I'm not dying of hunger."
"You're a pig. Pants on now."
"I may be a pig but you're a nag."
"You love me anyway."
"Only sometimes."
I raised my eyebrows at him in a 'this whole thing started with a dumb comment you made fifteen minutes ago' look, so quickly he remarked. "On the days that end in y."
We stopped at Mickey's on the way to the rink and Mrs. Conway grinned from ear to ear when we entered. It was funny we never officially told her about us, she'd never even seen us together as a couple before that day. But somehow she knew, when Charlie returned home when they let me out of the hospital she had asked him if we were seeing each other.
"How are my boys?"
Charlie hugged his mother while answering, "Good mom, great since Banks got here."
It made me feel so good to hear him say that.
"It's nice to see you again Mrs. Conway." I hugged her too.
"Adam you're all grown up now, call me Casey." I think that's when in actually hit her I was standing there. "Wait, what are you doing here? I thought you were going to school in New England?"
"I was, but I realized there's no place like home. Plus but everyone there knows about my wrist is all over campus. I feel like everyone was always looking at me. 'That's the fag that tried to kill himself.' And all the important people in my life are here." I looked at Charlie and our eyes met and my spine tingled. We deposited ourselves at a booth and a few minutes late we were eating cheeseburgers splitting a plate of onion rings and a coke. I couldn't wait to get on with the rest of our date.
After we finished eating we loaded back into my Porsche and drove toward the rink. The lights in the stands were all off, the only light at all was the one that hung from the ceiling above the ice. It was an almost romantic atmosphere, the only thing ruining it was the single skater already on the ice.
"How long do you think he's been here?" I asked lacing my skates
"I'd say from the way he's moving, hours." Charlie answered getting up but waiting for me before going onto the ice.
"Hi Fulton, what's up?" We skated out to the dark haired boy trying not to stand to close together. We knew the reason he was upset, he missed Portman, even if he wouldn't admit it. We also knew he wouldn't.
"Hey guys, when did you get here?" Fulton stopped and came toward us
"Just a couple minutes ago." I replied skating around him and Charlie
"How's it goin' Fulton?" Charlie eyed him worriedly. I love to see that side of my boyfriend the one that was all about caring and friendship.
"Oh you don't wanna hear about it." The Bash Brother responded looking down at the ice
"Of course we do, that's what friends are for." I pried coming to a stop as I grew dizzy
"It's nothing, I'm gonna get goin'. Lata." We watched as he left and then looked at each other. Charlie came forward and slipped his arms around me encircling my waist. I put arms around his neck and pulled him closer, feeling his heart beat in time with mine.
"Do you think they're as happy as us?"
"I don't think its possible for anyone to be as happy as I am with you, Adam." He really had a way for making me feel like the only person in the world
"You're such a charmer Charlie Conway."
"I try. Come on let's skate." His arms fell from around me and my body cried at the disappearance of his warmth.
"I got a better idea. Catch me." And with that I took off like a shot. I'm not Luis but I've got some speed and while my spins in no way compared to Kenny's, Charlie still couldn't catch me. "You must not want me that bad." I egged him on slowing a bit then speeding up again when he almost had me.
"This isn't fair." He whined
"Oh poor baby."
Suddenly I heard a crash behind me, I turned to find Charlie laying on the ice against the boards. I glided over in his direction more worried then I should've have been.
"Charlie are you okay." When he didn't make a sound I sped up and dropped to my knees beside him. His eyes were closed and I almost panicked "Charlie are you alright? Open your eyes, speak to me."
Instantly his eyes shot up and an evil grin spread across his face as his arm snaked around me again.
"Caught ya." He declared with laughter in his voice
"You're a jerk." I tried to keep in the giggle and pretend to be mad but it didn't work. The next thing I knew I was laying on the frozen water and well let's just say it's a miracle we didn't melt the ice.
