"Troy?"

"Yeah?" Troy answered, lifting his head as much as he could manage.

"Did you mean what you said? Earlier?"

"About what?" Troy asked.

"Me moving in." Chad shrugged.

"Of course!" Troy sat up, still naked. "I wanna be with you as much as humanly possible."

"Aw." Chad smiled. "Well, in two weeks it will be spring break. How about I wait until then? So I have some time to move and sort things out."

"Spring break, huh?" Troy smiled, searching the floor for his boxers. "You can spend half of spring break moving in with your boyfriend, and the other half staying in your new bed with him."

"Aw, man." Chad sighed, leaning back on the couch, exposing the slight bulge still in his boxers. "Wait, why are you putting your clothes back on?!"

Troy stopped, and laughed.

"As opposed to walking around naked?"

"Yes. What's wrong with that?"

Troy shrugged. He stopped again, shrugged again, and stopped putting his clothes on, and left himself in his boxers.

"Okay, fine, we're even." Troy smiled. "Although, not exactly even…"

"What do you mean?" Chad asked.

"Are you staying tonight?" Troy asked, suddenly changing the subject.

"Do you.. Want me to?"

"I want you to stay forever!" Troy laughed.

"Okay, how about I stay the weekend? And go back on Sunday night?"

"Monday morning?"

"Fine, deal." Chad smiled. "Are we even now?" Chad asked, confused.

"I have something for you upstairs." Troy told him, standing up and walking out of the room. "Come on." He called from the stairs, which he was already half way up.

"I'm coming." Chad grinned, running after Troy as fast as his legs could carry him.

When they got upstairs, Troy led Chad into his bedroom.

"First things first…" Troy smiled, sitting down on his bed. "What you just did, was… amazing. Where did you learn to do THAT so well?"

"I have a dick too." Chad smiled. "I know what feels good."

"Good point." Troy nodded. "Then I guess, so do I."

Troy stood up momentarily, before dropping himself to his knees before Chad. Chad widened his eyes, disbelieving of Troy's sudden display. His knees trembled as, before he knew it, his boxers were around his ankles and Troy's lips were around his shaft.

Chad's erection rapidly formed inside Troy's mouth, causing Troy to let out a giggly groan, and the vibration of Troy's vocality carried through to Chad.

"Oh God…" Chad breathed, trying to focus on not letting go too early. He placed his hands gently on Troy's head and stroked the soft, still slightly matted hair. He gulped, his knees finally giving in and buckling slightly.

Troy stopped still, taking Chad out of his mouth, and standing up. He took Chad's hand. He pulled him to the bed, Chad stepping out of his boxers on the way.

"Lay down." Troy instructed him. "Apparently you're unable to cope with me standing up."

"Hey." Chad laughed, sighing as he lay down on the bed, glancing down at his erection. "You were a quivering wreck downstairs."

"You're right." Troy grinned, climbing on the bed and on top of Chad. "As I said, you're a beast." He wrapped his fingers around Chad's shaft, causing him to gasp. He lowered his face to his hand, and took Chad in his mouth once again.

"So am I gonna have to come up with a catchy sex nickname for you?" Chad asked, slightly laughing through his groans and gasps.

"mmhmm." Troy hummed against Chad, the vibration once again taking him to new heights. He was desperately trying to hold himself in, determined to at least last as long as Troy.

He had no idea how long he had lasted. On the one hand it felt like he'd been holding on forever, but at the same time, it felt like he had got to this point in seconds. Either way, Chad couldn't hold on any longer, and when Troy's hand joined in the stimulation, it pushed Chad over the edge and he released himself in a flurry of relief and ecstasy, into Troy's mouth.

"Oh… my god." Chad let out a big sigh. He watched, with a smile, as Troy swallowed. Troy pulled himself up to lay next to Chad.

"Thanks for staying this weekend." He smiled.

"If I wasn't gonna, I would be now." Chad grinned. "Troy that was amazing."

"Any nicknames spring to mind?" Troy laughed, laying his head on the pillow right next to Chad's. He placed his hand on Chad's chest and stroked with his fingers.

"You know what, Troy, you're just indescribable."

"Aw." Troy laughed. "I can't wait until you move in."

"It's gonna be a blast." Chad smiled.

"Yeah. All the blow jobs."

----------

When Troy awoke the next morning, it took him a second to remember who the lump next to him was, and once he remembered a big grin broke across his face. He was confused for a second when he turned and noticed feet next to his head. He looked down to the other end of the bed.

"Morning." Chad said from the end of the bed. He started to stroke Troy's leg.

"Hey." Troy smiled, bringing a finger up to tickle Chad's foot slightly.

"Ha ha! Stop it." Chad giggled, kicking slightly. "So what do you wanna do today?"

"Oh, well…" Troy shrugged, and got under the covers, shifting himself round and coming out at the other end of the duvet. "All I know is I don't feel like getting out of bed just yet."

Troy pushed his foot underneath his pillow at the other end, and flipped it up, kicking it down towards his head. He caught it, and put it under his head. He scooted himself closer to Chad, so their noses were about an inch apart.

"I so cannot wait for you to move in. We can wake up next to each other everyday."

"Yeah." Chad smiled with a sigh, half closing his eyes. "Except… I'm gonna have to get up early for college everyday. So I'm gonna wake you up every morning…"

"Oh." Troy shrugged. "Never mind. Its worth it."

Chad grinned, and pulled the duvet up to his face. He buried his face in it, and placed his hand on Troy's hip, squeezing flesh.

"We're gonna have to get up sometime."

"I guess." Troy shrugged. "But not yet."

------------------

"This is weird." Chad frowned, as he pushed the shopping cart around the supermarket, a grinning Troy following just behind him.

"You're gonna have to get used to it." Troy told him. "Anyway, don't forget. We're just two friends out grocery shopping. Nothing more."

"Because obviously you can't possibly be gay, being a celebrity and all."

"Shh!" Troy urged, nervously looking around the empty aisles. "Someone might hear."

"I'll be good from now on. I promise."

"Good." Troy said, satisfied, tapping him on the back to move down the aisle.

"Why do we have to shop together?" Chad sighed, looking blankly at the laundry detergents on the shelves. "I don't care what you buy for the house."

"What am I, a woman?" Troy glared at Chad. "I'm not taking responsibility for the grocery shopping."

"One of us has to take the role of the woman." Chad laughed. "And I really think it should be you."

"Shut up." Troy mumbled, unscrewing the top on a bottle of fabric softener, and sniffing the liquid inside. Chad raised his eyebrows. "Why do we have to conform?! Why can't we share the tasks that a woman would usually take on, and not label ourselves?"

"I've never been more convinced that you're the woman."

"You're asking for a slap."

Chad sighed, aimlessly pushing the shopping cart, leaning down on it, and letting his mind wander. He grinned as he remembered the sight of Troy, below him, writhing and panting. He looked up at Troy, concentrating on his purchases, looking innocent and beautiful. His hair was carefully swept into a golden brown fringe across his forehead, unlike the sweaty, matted mess obscuring his eyes the night before.

Chad was snapped out of his daydream when he realised Troy was talking to him.

"What?!" Chad answered, wide eyed. "Sorry. I was day dreaming."

"Oh, about what?" Troy smiled.

"Just something I did last night." Chad nodded innocently. "I had a great night with some girl."

"Okay, okay. Listen, what pasta shape is your favourite? Twirls? Shells?"

"I don't care!!!"

----------------

That night, the boys were well into their weekend, and enjoying every moment. They both saw this as a rehearsal for when they lived together - they'd grown up practically living together anyway, so actually living together wasn't likely to be a problem. In day to day life, though, the prospect of living together as a couple was still something quite new and slightly daunting.

Troy, having just about got used to being gay, was enjoying the experience of having his first gay relationship. After being with Gabriella for such a long time, it was strange but liberating to be in a new relationship, and to make it even better, because it was Chad he was completely comfortable.

Chad, however, was still getting used to his new found feelings. The first he'd known about not being straight was when he was already into Troy too deeply to do anything about it. He was coming to terms with it whilst going through the experience of having a boyfriend. And now he was moving in with him - he felt slightly dizzy, everything was moving so fast. It's not that he minded - at least it was just Troy, who he'd known almost his entire life, and regarding Troy, he just had to get used to their friendship changing to a relationship.

So, supposedly, they were both trying to get used to this new situation, but were both grateful to be going through this together.

The two boys decided on a cosy Saturday night in, watching a movie. After over twenty minutes of discussion on what movie to watch, they finally agreed on watching Shrek. It happened to be in Troy's DVD collection, even though he had no clue how it got there, supposedly. But they both felt like some laughs, so it was a mutual choice.

Chad was sat slouched on the couch, cross-legged, with Troy's head lay on his lap. His hand was absent-mindedly stroking Troy's hair, every so often laughing, which caused his body to vibrate and Troy's head to shake, which in turn would make Troy laugh himself, if he wasn't laughing already.

There was a faint ringing from Troy's pocket, Chad paused the movie as Troy pulled his phone out, and answered it.

"Hey Gab!" He cheerfully said down the phone.

"Hey!"

"How's it going in Cali?!"

"Aw, it's amazing. I am homesick already though."

"Aw, Gab. I'll come and visit you soon." Troy smiled to himself with affection.

"So what's going on?"

"I was just watching a movie." Troy glanced up at Chad, who was smiling down at him. "With Chad."

"Oh, uh huh…" Gabriella audibly smiled down the phone. "How are things going with you guys?"

"Really good." Troy smiled, stroking his free hand on Chad's knee. "In fact… we rethought your plan about Chad moving in."

"Really?! Oh, Troy, that's so awesome!"

"Calm down, sweetie." Troy grinned, finding Chad's hand and linking his own fingers together with Chad's. He planted a kiss on Chad's thumb. "But we're both kinda excited too. He's here for the weekend, then he's gonna move in during spring break."

"That's nice." Gabriella giggled. "I'm so glad everything's going great for you guys."

"Thanks." Troy smiled. "I'm glad you're enjoying Cali. I'll see you soon. I think I'm coming your way in a week or two. I'll call you, and we'll hang out."

"In public?" Gabriella asked, Troy laughing and rolling his eyes.

"Sure."

----------------------

Chad yawned as the movie ended, and looked down to Troy. He was asleep on his lap. Chad smiled to himself, stroking Troy's arm. He sighed, and shook him gently to wake him up.

"Troy!" He said quietly, rolling him slightly to face him.

"Huh?" Troy mumbled, opening his eyes slightly, but clenching them shut as the light hit his eyes.

"C'mon, sweetie, let's go to bed." Chad spoke softly.

Troy opened his eyes, and sat up quickly.

"Sweetie?" He laughed affectionately. "I don't think you can pull that off, man."

"Was trying to be sweet."

"Aww." Troy giggled, stretching. "You're already sweet."

Chad blushed a little, as he pulled his curly hair back and tied it up.

"Let's go to bed." He rolled his eyes, smiling, and taking Troy's hand. Troy wearily led Chad up the stairs.

"Is it even late?" Troy asked, yawning, slightly disbelieving that he fell asleep during the movie.

"11pm." Chad shrugged. "Early for a Saturday night. Clearly you're a party boy."

Troy climbed under the covers, and snuggled down to go back to sleep. He watched Chad get undressed and remembered he should do that too, even though he didn't feel like moving.

"Hey…" Troy wondered, scratching his head. "Is it weird for you that this is the same bed that me and Gabriella… slept in?"

"As long as you've changed the sheets since…" Chad told him, with a smirk. "Then it's okay."

"It's a little weird to me." Troy said quietly, pulling his jeans off.

"What are you saying?" Chad sighed wearily. "You wanna buy a new bed?"

"No…" Troy shrugged. "Just saying."

------------

The next morning, Troy awoke, smiling, observing a still asleep Chad. It quickly dawned on him that in 24 hours time, Chad would be gone. If he was honest, he was dreading it. Being alone in this apartment again? He wasn't sure he'd be able to stand it. Still, only two weeks until he moved in for good.

Troy couldn't help himself; he shuffled in closer to Chad and pressed his own lips against his. He felt a slight pull, and he broke the kiss, thinking he'd woken Chad up. Chad stirred slightly, but stayed asleep. Troy couldn't help but stare at him, he loved how he looked with his hair tied back. Troy ran a finger over the seldom exposed part of Chad's cheek, and hesitated before snuggling his face into Chad's pillow, next to his face.
