Eli's POV
Eli couldn't believe what he just saw. As he was driving home from Clare's house, he saw a couple kissing on the sidewalk. At first he didn't pay it any mind, but he took a second look and realized it was Adam and Fitz. Adam and Fitz were KISSING. He couldn't believe this. First they were hanging out and now they were swapping spit. Eli felt himself get angry, angrier than he had ever felt. He sped off, just wanting to go home. He didn't know why he was so mad. Maybe he was angry to see Fitz kissing his friend because he was suspicious of him? No. That wasn't it. Maybe he was... jealous? No. No way. Why would he be? He was seeing Clare. There's no reason for him to be mad. He was so confused. He just wanted to be home so he could sleep and not think. He was almost home when he happened to see Adam walking. He wanted to pick him up, but he also was so mad at him for kissing Fitz. He debated for a moment and decided to pick him up. He pulled up closer to him and honked the horn at him.
"Hey. Want a ride?" He asked.
Adam's POV
Adam was shaken from his thoughts by the sound of a car horn honking. He turned to see that it was Eli.
"Hey. Want a ride?" He asked.
"Oh. So you're all done with Clare and now you come after me?" Adam said, still kind of mad at him.
"Come on dude. I'm sorry. Just get in the car."
Adam sighed, opening the door of the vehicle, plopping into the seat, and shutting the door behind him.
"Are you really sorry this time? Or is this another time you're going to bullshit me?"
"Adam, I'm sorry. I haven't been fair to you. Do you want to come over tonight? Pizza and video games?"
Adam tried to be mad and look away, but he couldn't resist the temptation of pizza and video games.
"Fine," He said, "But I swear to god you better not be on the phone with Clare or anything like that PLEASE."
Eli laughed and Adam called his mom to let her know that he was staying at Eli's house. They pulled up and got out of his car. Adam's phone chimed, he looked down to see a text from Fitz.
I hope you got home alright. I can't stop thinking about you ;)
Adam smiled down at his phone and started to respond. Eli noticed this and felt a pang of jealousy surge through him. He shook it off as they entered his house, saying hi to Eli's parents as they walked back to his room. When they got in, Adam took off his shoes and sat on Eli's bed, Eli soon sitting down next to him. They sat there in an awkward silence for a minute or two, Adam glancing around at Eli's room for a bit.
"So, how about that pizza? I'm starving." Eli said, getting his phone out to order.
"Oh yeah me too. I haven't eaten since way earlier." Adam replied, glancing over Eli's shoulder to pick what kind of toppings he wanted on his half.
Eli could feel Adam pressing against him as he picked his toppings. He felt warm and soft against him. He tried to stay focused on what they were doing but he couldn't stop thinking about the small amount of physical contact that was currently happening. He'd just been kissing Clare earlier and didn't even feel anywhere near the way Adam was making him feel by just pressing against him. They finally put the order in and started to pick out movies and games, Eli trying not to make it obvious that he was hiding a slight boner from Adam's touch.
What the hell is wrong with me? I shouldn't feel this way about my best friend. He thought to himself.
They started to play some of Eli's classic video games together, Adam kicking Eli's butt.
"Dammit! When did you get so good?" Eli laughed, playfully punching Adam's shoulder.
"Well I've had time lately since you've been hanging out with your new girlfriend." He teased.
"Look, I'm sorry about that okay? I've been a bad friend and I'll start incorporating more time with you too."
"It's okay Eli. I'm just glad we finally get to have guys night." He said, smiling.
Eli felt his heart skip a beat at Adam's cute smile. He liked seeing him happy again, instead of being angry with him. He heard the doorbell chime and got up.
"It's probably the pizza. I'll be right back." He said, grabbing the money and leaving the room.
Adam checked his phone and saw that he had a couple of texts from Fitz.
I can't wait to hang out again.
Is it gay that I kind of miss you? Lol
Adam laughed and blushed slightly, texting him back. Eli came back in the room with the pizza, noticing Adam's face while he typed on his phone.
"Oh, texting a girl are we?" He asked, sitting back down on the bed.
"No, just someone else." He said, putting his phone back in his pocket and grabbing a slice.
"Oh okay. Is it Fitz?" Eli asked, taking a bite of his slice.
Adam felt his face heat up immediately.
"Uh, y-yeah it was. He was just saying something funny." He said, laughing nervously.
"You know, correct me if I'm wrong, but I could've sworn I saw you and him kissing earlier."
Adam coughed and took a sip of soda, blushing furiously and avoiding eye contact.
"Uh..no! What are you talking about?"
"Earlier today before I offered you a ride, I just so happened to pass his house and I saw the two of you locking lips. Don't deny it. I SAW it."
Adam looked at him, feeling slightly embarrassed.
"Okay yes, we were kissing. Why do you care?"
"So is he your boyfriend now or something? You seemed pretty into it."
"Why do you care? You sound so jealous right now dude."
"No I'm not!"
"Whoa, defensive. What's your deal? You're being weird."
Eli set down the pizza box and pulled Adam to him, firmly kissing him on the lips. Adam's eyes widened, he couldn't believe he was being kissed by his best friend. Eli pulled away, pinning Adam down on the bed and straddling his waist.
"Does that answer your question?"
