I don't own the Mighty Ducks.

Hey everyone! I'm sorry it's been so long. I went away for a couple of weeks and was having too much fun in the sun to even think about logging on to a computer! Don't hate me too much though, when I got back to good old Massachusetts it was snowing.

Thank you everyone for your wonderful reviews and excitement with this story. I'm sorry you had to wait so long, but wait no more. Here's chapter four.

***WARNING**** This chapter contains slash and mild sexual situations*****

PORTMANS POV

Another horrible day of school is finally over. Have I mentioned yet that I hate this place. Sometimes I wish that I hadn't decided to come back here from Chicago, but Fulton and the Ducks make it worth it.

Yesterday, Adam and I had our meeting with the coach and the teachers. They told us all about the assignments and gave us both copies of the specifics on them. Afterwards, Adam and I made out a schedule for study sessions. We meet about five times a week, usually at his house. It's really going to suck, but it makes me feel a little better that he's helping me.

After we made out the schedule, we talked a little bit about my breakfast outburst.

**FLASHBACK**

"Um, Adam, Uh....."

"Don't worry about this morning. I'm not pissed, but I will be if you tell anyone about my home life."

"I know, uh, I don't know what happened, dude, It just flew out of my mouth. I'll be more careful. I'm sorry I was an ass."

Adam laughed, "It's ok."

**END FLASHBACK**

As I'm going through my locker, I realize that I lost the schedule that Adam and I made yesterday. "Shit!" I'll just got to Adam's house tonight and get another copy of the schedule from him. I'm pretty sure that we have a study session tonight anyway.

I went back to my dorm, grabbed something to eat, and headed over to Adam's house. I rang the doorbell and Rosie answered.

"Hello, Dean right? Come on in."

""Hi, Adam's supposed to be tutoring me tonight."

"Oh, ok, I didn't know that he was tutoring two people tonight. You know where his room is, go on up."

"Thanks."

I walked up the huge staircase, and went up to Adam's door. There was a sign on the door.

STUDY SESSION DO NOT DISTURB THANKS, ADAM

The door was opened a crack. I guess I should just walk right in. I walked in and was completely shocked at what I saw. Adam was heavily making out with Craig Miller, the captain of the basketball team. I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Adam was straddling Craig, and they both were just in boxer shorts. They were kissing madly and it looked to me like Adam was the aggressor. He was holding Craig's hands down and teasing him. I want to walk away. I know I shouldn't be watching this, I can't seem to move. Adam whispered something in Craig's ear and they changed positions. Craig was now straddling Adam. He began kissing down his chest and was playing with the rim of his boxers. It was at that moment that I finally decided that I should leave before I see too much. I start to turn around and I knock over a stack of books on Adam's desk. I froze and the room went quiet. I slowly turned around as I heard Adam's voice.

"Shit.... Didn't you lock the door?" Adam was glaring at Craig, "and you," he turned to look at me, "What the hell are you doing here? You can read, can't you? There was a sign on the door."

"Uh, um, I can go..... I didn't mean to...I'm just gonna get out of here." I started to leave, but was interrupted by Adam.

"No, Portman stay, Craig's leaving." He glared at Craig again. "We need to talk about this," he said looking at me. I nodded.

By this time, Craig was completely dressed, and Adam was sitting on the bed with his head in his hands. He had managed to pull his pants on. I was still sitting in the doorway feeling stupid.

Craig sat on the bed near Adam for a minute.

"I'm sorry," He reached out to take Adam's hand, but Adam stood up and walked to the other side of the room.

"I'll call you later, ok, Just go."

Craig got up looking heartbroken and disheveled. He grabbed his books and left the room.

"Can you lock the door? I don't need Rosie walking in on this conversation."

I locked the door and sat on his desk chair. He was still standing with his back to me. He finally came back over and sat on the bed. He took a deep breathe. I could tell he was really stressed out about all of this.

"So, you're full of surprises this week, huh?" I said with a half smile.

"This is so not funny," he said trying to hide his own very slight grin. He turned serious again, "Look, I'm gay, and nobody knows. Not my family, my brother, the Ducks, nobody! The only people that know are my small string of ex-boyfriends and Craig. I'd really like to keep it that way."

"Ok, I can understand that. My lips are sealed."

"It must have been weird for you walking in on that. I'm sorry I was such an asshole. Do you think I'm a discusting freak now?"

"No, not at all, don't be an idiot Adam. I don't think less of you now. I was a little shocked at first, but I don't hate you, dude. You must think I'm a pretty shitty person, man.

"Come on Portman, I'm sorry. This is terrifying for me. You're the first straight person that is finding all this out. So, you're ok with all this."

"Yeah, it's cool. Who else have you gone out with."

Adam slightly shoved me, blushed a little and said, "none of your business. So what brings you here, besides trying to yank me out of the closet before I'm ready."

"I never knew you could be so sarcastic." I responded with a laugh. "I lost our study schedule, I knew you'd have a copy and I was pretty sure we were supposed to study tonight."

Adam walked over to his desk and pulled the schedule off his corkboard. "So, what's up with you lately? You and Fulton have any crazy plans this weekend?"

"Nah, he's got plans with Jen. It's their one month anniversary." I tried not to roll my eyes as I told him this.

"Oh, I thought you liked Jen."

"What! I do, she's really cool, it's just..... never mind , it's stupid."

"Come on, I've been gushing all my problems to you over the last couple of days. Let me return the favor."

I looked over at Adam. He looked so sincere. "It's really stupid. Fultons always been there, all the time. You know, Portman and Fulton, The bashes. He just spends so much of his time with his girlfriend now. I don't know....."

"You miss him. You should talk to him. Tell him how you feel. At the same time, Fulton does have to make time for his girl too. You should try hanging out with some new people or find a girlfriend of your own.

"Well preppy, not bad advice for a pretty boy."

Adam smiled, "I aim to please."

"So... How serious are things with you and Craig?"

"Not too serious, we've been together a few months."

"It looked pretty serious to me."

Adam blushed, "It's more a physical relationship. I think it's going to end soon. I can feel it coming, you know."

"I'm sorry"

"Don't be, not your fault."

Adam and I talked the night away that night. We talked all about family, friends, relationships. We had so much in common. I never knew what a great guy he was. I felt like I was getting to know a complete stranger. I feel really lucky that I've been given the chance to get to know the real Adam Banks.

Hey,sSo what do you think? Was it worth waiting for, Let me know!! R&R
