Note - Okay…sorry - slow to update again! Argh! Yes, I did just argh…I'm so sorry…updating quickly. Multiple - character…heh.

Dedication - I have to dedicate this one to Star…She's been waiting for this.. and waiting.. and waiting. And one you read the chapter, you'll know what she's been waiting for…Has something to do with A/L. That's all I'll say. Enjoy!

Charlie's POV

I watched him leave and sighed softly. The movie didn't matter to me anymore. What had I just done? Of course Koon wasn't interested in me! How could I have expected him to be?

I sat on the floor, slightly stunned, for a few minutes. After a while I got up, deciding that there was no point in watching the movie while my thoughts were so scattered. I walked out into the lobby and, with my head down, out the door.

I had expected Koon to take his car and leave me stranded, so I planned to catch the bus. But when I walked out into the parking lot, he was waiting for me. I raised an eyebrow and walked towards to where he sat, in his Firebird.

"You waited?"

"I wasn't going to leave you without a ride…" He frowned.

"Oh…right." I stood awkwardly, glancing up at him every-so-often.

"Are you gonna get in?" He eyed me, and his tone was almost sharp. I nodded and opened the car door, slipping gingerly into the cushioned seat.

He changed the gears, and soon enough we were on our way back to the dorms. The silence was strange, but there wasn't much I could do…I'd caused it.

Adam's POV

I leaned forward, even closer to Luis. His eyes flickered with a strange emotion, and I didn't recognize it.

I swallowed slowly, and raised my hand to his cheek. He paused, but lifted his own hand to mine, stroking my fingers gently.

My tongue roved over my lips, they were slightly chapped from the thawing winter, but it didn't matter to me…or, it wouldn't if the time came that I needed to use them. I half-smiled at Luis, and he reciprocated as I shifted forward on the mattress.

I was still across from him, and he leaned forward too. Our faces were close…more close than ever, closer than we were when we were dancing.

I brushed a strand of hair out of my eyes, and we began the slow melting process.

I pulled him forward, so that he was half standing, have kneeling, but hunched over. I pulled him down on me, and he straddled my body, placing his knees on either side of me.

I half-laughed, because the look on his face was of pure terror. He smiled too, and sat down next to me.

"Sorry." He was blushing, and I laughed again.

"Am I really that terrifying?" I poked him playfully in the ribs. He giggled, and shook his head.

Charlie's POV

I was feeling sort of uncomfortable, sitting in the car next to Koon. My conscience was playing games with my mind, and I thought that for sure he was going to drop me off in a secluded area and leave me there for the vultures.

I looked at him tentatively, and half-smiled. He rolled his eyes and kept them on the road.

"Koon?" I started softly.

"What?" He snapped back.

"I'm sorry."

"I don't really care. What you did was not only disgusting, but you betrayed Adam too." He frowned, and I knew that if we weren't driving he'd have given me the dirtiest look.

"I know, I know…but really…I am sorry." I really was, too.

"I bet you are." He sneered, turning into the driveway of Eden Hall.

He parked the car silently, and as he went to get out of the car, I caught him by the shoulder.

"Sit down." It was more demanding that I'd meant it. "Please…we need to talk."

He scowled, and sighed, and sat down reluctantly, folding his arms across his chest.

"Look, I think I read all your signals wrong. I thought you wanted that…I thought you were interested." He cocked his head at me, and I had to look away.

He frowned, but allowed me to continue.

"I'm really sorry…Koon, you have to believe me. If I'd known you weren't -" He cut me off.

"Listen Charlie, you don't need to explain. I know what you're thinking - I know what you were thinking. I've been there…done that…" He was very serious…but I never really thought he was the type to make a move on an unknowing person.

"What do you mean?"

"Well…before I knew that you and Adam were together…-"

Adam's POV

I was ready to try again, and Luis was beaming at me - I couldn't hold back any longer.

We were nestled next to each other, and he was unaware that I wasn't ready to give up on him. I leaned forward, and caught him in a breathlessly passionate kiss. His eyes widened in surprise, but I closed mine before I could see what his expression changed to.

The kiss was unlike any other. When I kissed Charlie, it was obvious that he felt for me, but he didn't give it his all. He always had his mind on something else…something different. With Luis, it was so pure…so…untouched. It was obvious that Luis had never kissed a man before. He held the tender forcefulness that you needed when kissing a young woman, but he was still hesitant, and I adored him for it.

Wrapping my arms over his shoulders, I smiled as we separated tentatively. I knew it was wrong…but it seemed so right.

Had I always imagined it so?

Charlie's POV

"…So, I fought against it - and in the end, it turned out to be that I was wrong…and just had to let everything go. She never spoke to me again." He sighed.

As he'd told his story, we'd begun walking to Adam's room. I wanted to apologize for my behavior that morning, and curfew was nearly upon us, so we'd decided to go inside.

He looked at me expectantly, as we rounded the corner to our dorms.

"I don't know what to say, Koon." And I really didn't!

He smiled, and nodded. His words had greatly affected me. He'd been in almost the same situation, only with a girl. He'd lost her both as a friend, and as his first love. Touching story, really.

I opened the door to Adam's room, and swung it 'round grandly. I was beaming as I stepped into the room, but my expression immediately fell.

Koon followed me in, and I heard him inhale as well. Adam and Luis were together, on Adam's bed, kissing in a most raunchy[1] fashion.

Adam looked up at me, his eyes wide like a frightened puppy. Luis, his face flushed, scurried over to his side of the room. I blinked continuously at them, and Koon cocked his head (typical).

I took Adam by his shirt collar and threw him into the hall, where he stumbled, but regained his balance. I followed him out and slammed the door behind us, leaving a baffled Koon and Luis behind.

I walked towards Adam. I was livid. I was angrier than I'd ever been in my entire life. I knew I shouldn't have been, since I'd done almost the same thing by kissing Koon, but I was the jealous type…this wouldn't go unnoticed.

Okay, This was a long chapter, and a cliffhanger at that! I'm sorry, my friends…you'll just have to wait. I'll try and update sooner, this time…please forgive me.
