I dont own degrassi or the characters. :C

Sorry for the delay. School, fatigue, mass homework, problems/chores at home. Oh and I had to rememberize the Preamble! But im finally posting chapter nine! Here it goes...

Drew opened his eye's, what seemed to be a ten minute nap had somehow stretched itself to a few hours. Eli was not laying next to him as he had expected. He hastily lifted out of bed and flew into Adam's room. There was no one. "Mom!" Drew shouted.

"Yes?" She yelled from down stairs.

"Where's Adam?"

"Sh- He went with Eli to the book store down the street. He said they'll be back in about a half hour or so!"

"Kay." Drew sighed and ran a hand through his spiky hair. How could he be out shopping after that! He thought to himself. Jesus! That wore me out! And he's awake shopping! I wonder if he's been awake the whole time I slept? "Mom?"

"Yes?"

"When did they leave?"

"A couple hours ago. Why?"

"No reason." Jesus! That means we would have only been able to have a half hour of sleep or less! He's a strong boy I guess. Drew strolled back into his room and began trying to finish homework, but he couldn't keep Eli off of his mind. He decided to run down the street to see his lover.

Drew got dressed and took off, "Where are you going?" His mom yelled.

"To see Adam!" he yelled as his voice became fainter and fainter. Drew's ears were flooded with the sound of the wind and he sound of his shoes clunking onto the ground one by one. As soon as the comic store, and Eli's hearse, were in sight, Drew felt like he was flying. The wind blew through his shirt, and filled up his ears with an invigorating swooping noise. He slowed his pace at the end of the street and stopped right in front of the book store. There was obviously some kind of 'Big special' going on. Geek's, nerds, his brother, and Eli were all gathered in the store, stopped at specific genre's of comic.

As Drew walked in, some of the girls in the store eyed him and giggled, all he did was smile about it. He strolled up to Adam and Eli, who were looking at the action comics. "Hey." He smiled at the two boys.

"Drew! My bro! What are you doing here?" Adam grabbed Drew's hand and bumped into him with his side.

"I got bored. Figured I would visit my two favorite boys." He smiled and patted each of the guys backs.

"Worn out eh?" Eli smirked and that angelically-devilish look came back to him as his cheeks flushed with a little red.

"A little, I thought I would hurry and get here before you guys were through. Also, I gotta keep in shape." He smiled.

"Oh. I can help you with that." Eli bit his lips a little.

"Enough you guys! I'm okay with you being.." He looked around and whispered,"Together~ But could you please refrain from flirting when your around me." He laughed at them.

"Fine." Eli smiled and hugged his friend.

"Okay." Drew smiled at Eli and patted his brother's back.

"Lady nerds at your six o'clock!" Eli huffed quietly. Drew turned around to see three moderately attractive girls in venom, batman, and the joker shirts.

"Hey girls." Drew flicked his head up a little in an acknowledging nod.

"Hey," A blonde girl giggled, "Do you come here often?" She looked back at her friends who were checking out the other two boys behind the handsome jock, and giggling.

"Uh. No. Actually, I'm just here to see my brother and his friend." He smiled charmingly.

"You guys got cell phones? So we could maybe... Keep in touch?" All of there faces had a hint of red lustered onto them, and they were all giggling.

Drew looked back at Adam and Eli wiggling his eyebrows. "Hold on." He turned around, wrote down each of the three guys numbers, and wrote their names next to them, and handed them back to the blonde girl.

"Kay. We'll text you guys!" They all giggled as they left the book store.

"You have a girlfriend." Eli said.

"And a secret lover." Adam added, "How selfish can you get." He crossed his arms and turned around.

"Dude. I gave them our numbers for you guys. The girl in the batman shirt was totally into you Adam. And Eli, that girl with the shirt with Venom on it, she was totally checking you out." Drew smirked.

"I don't want her..." Eli's eye's grew innocently big as he whispered, "I want you."

"Hey I thought that batman shirt girl was pretty cute." Adam gave drew a high five, "Thanks bro."

"Drew! You should have known I would only want you." Eli smiled up at him.

"Eli!" Adam yelped. "what did I say about your love life?"
"Not to talk about it?"

"Good Eli!" Adam patted Eli's head like he was a dog. Eli growled at him playfully.

"So. Drew?" Eli smirked up at the handsome jock, "Do you like any comics?"

"Uhh," he scratched at his brown hair nervously, "I don't know. I don't read them much."

"Maybe you should?" Eli suggested.

"Okay?"

"We've got some at home for starters." Adam smiled.

"Perfect! He can read those while we read our new ones!" Eli proposed.

"Awesome dude." Eli and Adam high-fived each other.

"..." Drew stood there awkwardly smiling at the two boys.

"Okay, well, let's get these and head home." Adam sighed.

"Alright." Eli picked up a mini-stack of comic's as did Adam. They strolled up to the counter, got there comics checked out and payed for them. Drew wondered where Eli got his money from. "Lets head out." Eli yelped enthusiastically as he shifted the bag of comics over his shoulder. The three had a great time on there walk home, talking about whatever, feeling the nice fall breeze in there hair, and staring at the color's of fall breaking itself in.

"Nice day huh?" Adam pointed out as they neared there house.

"Yeah." Eli calmly agreed.

"Mhm." Drew stared at the pink-ish horizon. Once they got to the house the boys decided to stay out for a little and soak up a little fresh air.

"Can't you just feel that fall love in the air?" Eli breathed in slowly.

"That's kind of corny, dude. But, actually..." He took in a breath, "I can." He nodded his head.

"Yeah." Drew blushed a little as he looked at Eli who was sitting, his arms hanging off his knees in front of him, staring up into the sky. Drew's heart melted as Eli looked up at him, his eye's, calm, and full of love, gently shifting from side to side as they often do.

"Alright." Adam broke into the peaceful sounds of nature and the loving gaze between his emo best friend and his jock brother. "I think we have had enough of this loving fall air. Don'tcha think guys?"

Eli smirked up at him and said, "Sure." Ever so calmly. As Eli stood he pulled at the top of his skinny jean's, since sitting had pulled them down a little. After entering the house each one had marched up the stairs, open after another, and straight into Adam's room to read and discuss comic's. Oh yay comics! Was the sarcastic phrase stuck in Drew's mind. He couldn't help it if he would rather sleep with Eli than read some beginners comics. I mean, hell, is that a hard choice for anyone?

They all embarked on there own little journeys into the comic world, Drew wouldn't admit, but, he actually enjoyed spending time pretending to read a comic but actually watching Eli's concentrated facial expressions. One every one was through, for the day, with reading comics, or staring at Eli's beautiful face, they each retired to there bedrooms, and guest bed, and each one of them, actually fell asleep right away, now being pretty content with there lives.

Don't be scared. Im still making more!

Review please!
