Charlie watched Adam throughout the beginning of the movie. He looked to see the expression on Adam's face, because it was either funny, or something that made you want to hug him.

He looked towards the Bash Brothers. Not only were they holding hands, Portman had his arm wrapped around Fulton, and Fulton was leaning into him. Well, unlike that couple, Charlie and Adam weren't ready to come out yet.

"What are you looking at?" Adam turned to face Charlie.

"You," he said softly, linking his fingers with Adam's. He felt Adam squeeze his hands when he smiled. "You're gorgeous, you know that?" He asked Adam.

"That's only because I'm sitting next to you." Adam said. Charlie turned back to watching the movie, but not before picking up their clasped hands and kissing the top of Adam's.

Adam turned to look at Charlie after that gesture was made, and he couldn't explain the feeling that overwhelmed him. He felt love swarm around him, happiness, but yet, he felt sad. They had only been together a day, not even and yet he wanted to shout out to the world that he loved Charlie Conway. That way he'd have a weight lifted off his chest and he could talk to the Ducks without being afraid of slipping up.

The movie ending almost an hour later, and the two couples decided to still go get some food. "So, how long have you two been together?" Fulton asked licking his chocolate ice cream cone.

"16 hours." Adam answered before Charlie could. He surprised all three of the boys by knowing the amount of hours. "Well, there's a half in there but I'm only counting full hours." He said to their shocked stares.

"That's how I was when we first got together. I couldn't stop counting the hours until a week in. I got lost somewhere in between it all." Portman put on a confused look and the four boys laughed.

"You guys have been together for how long now?" Charlie asked. The four went to the back of the mall and sat down on the ground, now able to share all the information on their love lives.

"Yeah, what like, a year?" Adam asked dipping his spoon into his chocolate, vanilla swirl ice cream.

"Try two." Fulton said.

"Two years? God, I'd be happy if I had an on again off again boyfriend for two years. But you two haven't ever broken up? Not once?" Charlie's ice cream cone stared to melt onto his hand.

"Charlie." Adam said, just as Charlie turned to look at him, Adam licked the ice cream off his hand before Charlie even saw it.

"Adam." Charlie said sternly.

"What? It's not like anyone can see us." He said innocently.

"Only us." Portman said.

"Yeah, only them. No need to worry." They sat there and chatted for an hour more before Adam started pulling at Charlie's shirt. "Come on, Charlie. I want to go." He whined.

"I thought you were having fun." Charlie wrapped his arm around Adam's shoulder and pulled him closer to himself. "You're frozen." Charlie said wrapping both his arms around his boyfriend.

"I know. That's why we need to go back to the dorms so I can change, then I have a surprise for you." Adam whined.

"Alright. Up." He commanded his body. "It ain't working. I think my legs are asleep." Charlie laughed. "Alright, one more time. Here we go." He said and this time made it to his feet. "It was fun hanging out tonight, guys. But as you can see, my boyfriend and I have to leave." Charlie dusted off the back of his pants while Adam spoke.

"It feels really weird to have you call me your boyfriend." Adam said.

"You'll get used to it." Fulton laughed standing up as well. "It was nice hanging with you guys, too. I never knew you weren't a perky little shit, Adam."

"Sorry to disappoint you, but that's my brother." Adam laughed.

"Bye." Charlie called walking away with Adam. "Now, are you going to tell me about my surprise?" Charlie asked as they made their way to the car.

"Nope. You'll just have to wait. Oh, and change out of that. Something nice." Adam opened his door and got in.

"Okay." Charlie sighed. He hated having to get "dressed" up. "But I'm wearing sneakers." He warned getting into the car.

"Fine by me." Adam backed out of the parking lot.

Soon they were back at the dorms and went their separate ways, after agreeing to meet in Charlie's room because Luis wouldn't be there. Adam walked into his room, humming a song on his way. "La, la, la, hum, hum." He sang. He walked to his closet and opened the door, pulling out a pair of khaki pants and a light green shirt. He stripped to his boxers (A.N. Yummy!) and put on his pants and shirt. He walked into the bathroom and brushed his teeth and hair once more before agreeing with the way he looked. He walked out the door being sure to grab a light jacket this time.

---------*********

Charlie heard knocking on the door and went to answer it. "Hey." He spoke softly to his love on the other side. "I'm ready for my surprise." He grabbed his jacket noticing Adam had one on and they walked out of the room. "Where is it?" He asked grabbing Adam's hand in the dark parking lot.

"Jump in and you'll see soon enough." He spoke motioning to his Porsche.

"I'm scared." Charlie said jokingly. He sat in the passenger seat and turned to face Adam.

"There's no reason to be." He said calmly, leaning in towards Charlie. Charlie caved in a little and moved forward. Soon their lips met with a strong force. Adam wrapped his arms around Charlie's waist and Charlie pushed his fingers through Adam's soft hair.

"What do you say we screw the surprise and stay in your car for a while?" Charlie questioned breathlessly.

"As much as I would love to do that, and I really would, I still have the surprise. And a lot of people came together to do it for me, so we're going. We can do this later, tonight." Adam said turning on the car and backing out.

Charlie turned on the radio, managing to not get yelled at by Adam. The newest song by Daniel Benningfield was on. He started to sing. "If you're not the one than why does my soul feel grand, today? If you're not the one than why does my hand fit yours this way? If you're not for me than why am I crying on my bed?" He was looking at Adam.

Softly, Adam started to sing the song, managing to turn and look at Charlie every so often. He brought his hand up to caress Charlie's cheek. "You're beautiful, you know that?" He looked straight into Charlie's eyes.

"You told me earlier." Charlie side, pressing his face into Adam's hand.

"We're here." He said softly. He opened his door after telling Charlie to wait. He walked around to the other side of the car. Being that it was night and no one was around, they were able to act like the couple they were. Adam opened the door for Charlie to get out. "I would like to say, welcome to your surprise, but this isn't it yet." He said giving his hand to Charlie, which he helped pull him out with.

"I get full treatment, but I don't understand why we're at the peewees rink…" Charlie's voice faded out when Adam opened the door to the rink. In the middle of the ice, he saw a piece of wood with a table set for two on top and candles burning in their holders on the ice. He looked to where Adam walked to and found him standing in a walking isle. He looked at his sides, the seats closest to him were covered with roses, and Adam held a single one.

"He loves me, he loves me not." He started picking the petals. "He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me." Adam picked the last one. "Do you love me?" He asked looking up at Charlie.

"With all my heart. Now, come on, let's go eat." Charlie dragged Adam down to the ice and walked out on it. "Who will be our server this evening?" He asked Adam.

"Turn to your right." Adam sat pulling Charlie's chair out and waiting for him to sit before going to his own.

Charlie turned and looked out at the seats and saw Guy, Fulton and Portman. "That's why they left when we did." It finally dawned on Charlie. "But, Adam, you really didn't have to do all this for me." Charlie said.

"I know I didn't have to, but I wanted to. I love you, Charlie Daniel Conway." Adam raised his glass full of apple juice.


Charlie clicked his glass into Adam's. "And I love you, Adam Matthew Banks."

A.N. Sorry it's short, but I have to go baby-sitting. As you've all noticed, I'm writing this story like they were seniors now, so I don't have to think back to what was "in" then. Hope you all liked this chapter. Bye!
