A/N: Takes place during S10E21: Purple Pills. Im rewatching the series and the episode sparked an idea a lot different than things actually turned out!
I obviously don't own Degrassi blah blah legal stuff.
Adam's POV
Adam felt himself get a little upset when Eli canceled their guys night. They had been doing that as their thing for so long and now all of a sudden he cancels. For homework. He knew that wasn't the reason why.
Oh well. He thought to himself. I might as well go to The Dot and get myself a coffee.
As he walked through the door, who did he see there? Eli.
"Hey, I thought you were studying?" He said, taking Eli by surprise.
"Yeah, uh yeah I am," Eli stammered out as Adam looked behind him to see Clare at a table waiting for Eli. "Um we are."
Clare awkwardly smiled and waved to Adam.
"Clare and I just wanted some one on one time...to study."
"So what are you two like in love now or something?"
"Adam, we're just friends."
"Yeah. And you don't want me around because I'm the third wheel."
Eli looked away, feeling a bit guilty.
"Guys don't do this to each other, Eli. But whatever, don't wanna ruin your little date." He said, leaving in a huff.
He couldn't believe his best friend seriously ditched him for a girl. It seemed like everyone was doing that to him lately. He just wanted to be able to have his friend back.
The next day at school he got his lunch and walked into the noisy cafeteria. He scanned the room for his normal table, to see Eli and Clare sitting there together. Still annoyed from the previous day, he just stood there, feeling completely lost and unsure what exactly to do in the situation. As if reading his mind, he hears a voice behind him.
"You look like you're lost."
Adam turned to see that it was Fitz talking to him.
"Just trying to find a new place." Adam replied.
Fitz patted the spot in front of him.
"Seriously?" Adam asked.
"Free country," Fitz said, "I know we got off on the wrong foot, but I'm over it if you are."
Adam slowly sat down in front of Fitz, shocked at his kindness. Fitz looked over at Eli and Clare, smirking slightly.
"What happened? You two get into a lover's quarrel at guy's night?" He asked.
"There was no guy's night. He bailed."
"Probably blinded himself with too much guyliner." Fitz joked.
"Yeah he probably listened to emo and got all emotional." Adam joked back.
Eli had gotten up during their exchange of jabs at his expense and was passing by their table to leave the cafeteria.
"Clever guys, another stunning display of verbal acuity." He said, turning to finish his walk out of the cafeteria.
Adam knew he could push his buttons even more.
"Another stunning display of verbal acuity." He said in a mocking tone, making Fitz and all of his friends laugh.
Eli's POV
Eli looked back and looked away in disbelief, he couldn't believe Adam was actually making fun of him with Fitz.
Maybe I deserve it. He thought to himself. I did lie to him after all.
Over the next week, Adam stayed near Fitz and completely away from Eli. Eli saw them in the hallways laughing, at lunch playfully shoving each other, walking together after school. He had to admit to himself, it was driving him crazy. He hated seeing Adam with Fitz. He didn't know why it made him so angry. He obviously hated Fitz and didn't want his best friend to fall prey to whatever schemes he had planned, if any were planned, but it was something else. He couldn't quite put his finger on it. Eli saw Adam alone finally while he was walking home and ran across the street immediately to talk to him.
"Adam! Hold up!" He said, catching his attention outside of The Dot.
"What do you want?" He said, walking over to Eli.
"Look, I know you were stoked about guy's night. I shouldn't have bailed."
"Thanks. So what are you doing tonight? There's another fight on-"
"Tonight? I'm seeing Clare, but I can call you after."
"I don't want your pity." Adam said, turning to walk away.
"Wait! Don't be such a girl!"
Adam paused, clearly irritated by the use of "girl". He turned to scowl at Eli.
"I-I didn't mean it like that."
"Yeah whatever man, I have other people to hang with."
"Fitz? He's not your friend, dude."
"Really? Yet I don't remember him rejecting me for his girlfriend."
"Because most girls are smart enough to avoid him."
"So you're jealous AND paranoid now?"
Eli looked down, chuckled and looked back up at Adam.
"You know what? I do pity you. You're making a huge mistake." He said, turning and walking away.
Adam's POV
Adam walked into The Dot, clearly upset and trying to hide it. He sat at the bar as Fitz approached him.
"Hey, are you alright?" He asked him, resting a hand on Adam's shoulder.
Adam shook his head, turning to look at him with slight tears in his eyes.
"Whoa what's wrong? Why are you crying?" Fitz asked, setting down his tray with empty mugs from customer's tables.
"It's Eli. He just ditched me again after apologizing and then got mad and said he pitied me for saying I was just going to come hang out with you." He said, wiping his eyes.
"What the fuck? What's his problem? I don't get why he's constantly ditching you now. Isn't he supposed to be your best friend?"
"Well, he's sort of seeing Clare now. So I guess she's more important than me now. It just really hurts. He totally lied to me about guy's night. He said he was going to go do homework but he was really going out on a date with Clare."
Fitz frowned and felt his eyebrows knit together out of sadness for Adam feeling cast aside. He knew all too well what that felt like.
"I'll tell you what. How about after my shift me and you go back to my house and play some video games?" Fitz suggested.
Adam's eyes immediately lit up, a large smile forming across his face.
"Really? It won't be a problem?" He asked, trying to contain his excitement.
"Not at all. Fair warning though, I don't live on the best side of town and I don't have a big fancy house." Fitz said.
"That's...fine, Fitz. I'd never judge somebody for that." Adam said, feeling bad that Fitz felt the need to warn him about a situation he had no control over.
Fitz smiled and took the tray back into the kitchen. Adam felt his heart flutter slightly at the smile. He didn't know why, but the former bully's smile sent a warm sensation throughout his body. It was a genuine smile that seemed to come from a part of Fitz he had never seen before. He almost seemed... handsome to Adam.
Until now the only person I've ever felt remotely close to that way before is Eli. He thought to himself.
Yes, Adam did have a slight crush on Eli. He had never ever told anyone and kept it to himself. He was the reason for Adam figuring out that he was in fact, bisexual instead of straight. This is why Eli ditching him for Clare hurt so bad, not just because they were best friends, but because Adam liked Eli but could never tell him. He pulled himself out of his thoughts as Fitz emerged from the kitchen, now changed out of his uniform.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked, smiling at him.
Adam nodded, getting up and walking with Fitz out of The Dot. They walked together until they reached his house, it wasn't as bad as Fitz made it seem.
"Come on in." He said, opening the door for Adam.
Adam walked in and sat on the couch, looking around at Fitz's house. Fitz took off his jacket and shoes and turned to Adam.
"Did you want anything to drink?" He asked him.
"Uh sure. Anything's fine."
Fitz smiled and went into the kitchen and came back with a couple of sodas for them. He sat down next to Adam on the couch and handed one of the sodas to him.
"Thanks." Adam said, smiling slightly.
"So what games did you want to play? I mainly have a lot of first person shooters if that's okay."
"Are you kidding me? Those are my favorite!"
"Awesome let's get playing. Modern Warfare sound good?"
"Hell yes!"
Fitz put the game into the Xbox and handed Adam a controller. The two started to play the game, making an excellent team. They had the highest kill streaks, almost tying for first. Adam ended up getting the highest kill streak. Fitz found himself rather impressed.
"Damn. You actually beat me." He said, giving Adam a playful shove.
Adam laughed and shoved him back.
"Maybe get better then." He said, playfully sticking his tongue out at him.
Fitz smiled at him, liking how Adam can take a joke and dish it back out. He'd really been enjoying his time with him. As much as he wouldn't want to say it out loud, he found himself thinking that Adam was cute. He wasn't gay, or at least he didn't think this made him gay.
"So what did you want to do now?" Adam asked, interrupting Fitz's thoughts.
"Oh uh, maybe we could watch a movie? I have a lot of horror movies." Fitz suggested.
"Sweet! I'm gonna pick it out then!" Adam said, moving to the floor and crawling to the cabinets at the bottom of the entertainment center.
Fitz looked down at him, his eyes scanning every inch of his body. He admittedly had a nice body, he looked slender, slightly toned with a bit of a soft feminine touch to it. He licked his lips, feeling a sudden hunger for the younger boy. He stopped practically drooling over him when Adam turned back around and held up The Thing.
"Can we watch this?" He asked.
"Yeah of course. Go ahead and put it in."
Adam put in the movie and took his spot back on the couch next to Fitz. He sat closer than before, practically right on top of him. They watched the movie together, Adam absolutely entranced in the film. Fitz slowly decided to make a move on Adam by resting a hand on his thigh. Adam felt himself blush as he turned to look at Fitz.
"Fitz, what are you doing?" Adam asked.
Fitz leaned in and cupped the side of Adam's face, looking into his pretty blue eyes before capturing his lips in a kiss. Adam was initially shocked but returned the kiss, melting into it as their lips collided. Fitz daringly slipped his tongue past Adam's lips, resulting in a soft moan from the other boy. The two were soon laying on the couch making out, Fitz on top of Adam and slowly running his hands through his hair. He broke the kiss and started to kiss down Adam's jawline and to his neck, making the other boy sigh and moan.
"You make such cute noises." Fitz whispered against Adam's ear, nipping at the lobe.
"Nnnh, I can't help it. You're kissing me in sensitive spots." He whined as Fitz kissed back down his neck.
"I didn't know you felt the same way. I've been wanting to kiss you all this week." He groaned, licking his neck.
Adam moaned louder, feeling himself growing more and more aroused. Fitz started kissing him again, biting his lower lip softly, eliciting a gasp from Adam. He started to grind himself into the other boy, Fitz loving how excited he was making him. He kissed back down his neck, starting to bite and leave hickies. Adam moaned more, gripping Fitz's short hair. Fitz growled, liking the hair pulling a lot.
"Don't do that," he chuckled, "That's going to make me even more excited."
"Maybe that's what I want~" Adam purred, kissing Fitz's neck.
Fitz smirked and pinned him down, kissing him much rougher than before, gripping Adam's hair. Adam moaned into the kiss, scratching down his back. Fitz started grinding his hips into Adam's roughly kissing him and pulling his hair.
"Fuck, you're so hot. I never thought you'd be this into it." He said, flipping them over so Adam would be on top. He started to smack and grope his ass.
"Mmh~ I've never done anything with another guy before. Actually I've never done anything like this with anyone." He said, moaning after Fitz started touching his ass.
"Never huh? So I'm your first?" He said, smirking and kissing him all over his neck.
"Nngh~ yes. You are." He said, panting.
"It seems like I'm doing a good job so far judging from those naughty sounds you're making." He teased, gripping his ass, smacking it and rubbing it through his jeans.
Adam blushed, feeling embarrassed but so turned on by what Fitz was saying.
"Fitz... you know I don't have... all of my parts right?" He said, embarrassed.
"Yeah. I know. We can stop if you want." Fitz said, looking up at him.
"I just don't want to be touched.. in the front if you catch my drift. It's just something I've never really thought I'd want touched."
"How about we just take it slow? We can stop here today if you want, so we won't go too fast. I don't want to make you uncomfortable."
"You'd really be okay with that?" Adam asked, his heart skipping a beat. He couldn't believe how nice Fitz was being to him.
"Of course. I may come off as an asshole, but I'm not the kind of guy to force anything on anyone, no matter how bad I want it." He said with a playful wink.
Adam bit his lip and giggled. He leaned down and kissed him, loving the feeling of their lips together.
"Okay. We can stop here today. I have to be getting home anyway. My mom will totally freak out if I'm not home soon."
"I'll walk you outside." Fitz said, getting up off the couch with Adam.
He walked Adam outside and to the end of the driveway, holding his hand the whole way. Adam turned to Fitz and looked at him, taking his other hand.
"I had a really good time today. Thanks for hanging out with me." He said, smiling.
"It's no problem. I've been having a good time with you. Especially today." He said, pulling him closer and kissing him.
They stood there kissing, just forgetting the world around them. They were so into their kiss goodbye, that they didn't notice a familiar hearse driving by. Eli saw the two of them, driving away quickly. They ended the kiss shortly after, Adam smiling and stealing one more quick one on Fitz's lips.
"I'll see you later." He said, turning to walk home.
"Let me know when you get home!" He yelled after him.
"Okay!" Adam yelled back.
He felt like he was floating. He was so happy that he was able to feel so comfortable with someone.
