Dynamic Duets

"Tada!" Jeremy looked up from the paperwork that he was supposed to be doing and watched as his best friend stepped out in a very flamboyant suit. Jeremy raised an eyebrow as Elliott gave him a smile. "I know it's not done, but since you're here, I thought I would show you. I think I'm getting a lot better at making my own clothes," he told him.

"It's... There are honestly no words that can do it justice," Jeremy replied.

"So... Does that mean you like it?" Elliott asked, pressing for an answer. Jeremy rolled his eyes. Ever since he had met Elliott, they had been close friends. When they had first met, Elliott was dressed in normal, civilized clothing, but as they got closer, his outfits got wilder and wilder. Of course, that was only when they hung out. Any other time, Elliott liked to play the nerdy look.

"It's really nice. But are you actually going to wear that out in public?" Jeremy asked. Elliott laughed.

"I'm saving it for a special occasion. Besides, it's nice to be Starchild and not Elliott Gilbert sometimes," he replied. Starchild was his stage name, Jeremy remembered. Most times, that wasn't brought up, but he still liked to refer to himself as Starchild on occasion. Jeremy only nodded at Elliott's remark and listened as his friend went back into his room to change. When he came back out, he looked remotely normal and sat down beside Jeremy on the couch.

"Would you like to help on paperwork?" Jeremy asked, looking over at him.

"No. I'll probably study while you do that. But why couldn't you do that at work? I mean, don't you like own the place. You can work as much as you want to," Elliott told him, pulling out a book.

"Because it's kind of depressing to be in the beauty shop after it's closed. Would you want to be there?" Jeremy shot back. Elliott raised his hands up and Jeremy felt his phone vibrate in his pocket.

Are we still on for tonight? Jeremy jumped up at Kurt's text and looked at the time. He had completely forgotten about going out to dinner with him and he only had thirty minutes to get ready and be there.

"I don't think I've ever seen you move that fast. What's going on?" Elliott asked, giving him a knowing smile.

"I have dinner with someone tonight that I forgot about. I need to hurry and get ready," Jeremy replied.

"Is it a date?" Elliott asked.

"No. It's more of a 'getting to know you' dinner," Jeremy replied.

"Then why does it matter what you go looking like. Unless you actually like the guy and want to impress him," Elliott stated.

"I never said it was with a guy," Jeremy replied, pulling off his shirt. Elliott covered his eyes and continued on.

"Yeah, but you only really try to look nice and care about what you wear when it's a guy. I know you too well," he replied. Jeremy pulled on a different, nicer shirt and started looking for his shoes.

"Yeah, yeah. You can open your eyes now. I'm covered," he replied. Elliott uncovered his eyes and laughed at Jeremy pulling on one of his boots.

"Wow. This has to be a date. Are you sure you got your facts straight?" he asked. Jeremy shot him a glare.

"He just got out of a relationship, so no. It's not a date. He's one of Sasha's friends that he so graciously introduced me to. You know, someone other than Jazz," he said. Elliott smiled at the mention of Jeremy's younger brother.

"And you like this friend. Is this the guy that you said it felt like love at first site?" he asked. Jeremy tossed a book at him and walked over to the door.

"The key is where is always is if you decided to leave. I'll be back later," he said and then left, leaving Elliott with his smart comment unsaid.

So Elliott/Starchild is basically Jeremy's best friend. I love Adam Lambert and Starchild, so I had to include him. I haven't seen enough of Elliott to actually get his personality down yet, so I think I made him more like Adam. But oh well. I've also forgot to mention last chapter, that there's an M rating just to be safe. I won't have a full blown sex scene or anything, it's just a precaution. You'll see later on what I mean. (P.S. I do ship Kelliott/Starkurt, but that's not what this story is. Sorry.)
