Chapter four: I love you

Chase's P.O.V.

"Morning," Mr. Davenport smiles with a mug in hand.

I momentarily glance up from the cartoons playing on the flat screen TV in the living room and mumble a quick, "G'morning."

"Well since today is Saturday and next week will be Christmas there will be no school for about a week!" He exclaims excitedly.

"Hmm," I say, inside though, I'm eternally grateful I won't go back to those halls of hell.

I don't mention it out loud though.

Adam and Bree enter the room with sleepy hazes in their tired eyes but nonetheless smiling like a bunch of kids. I begin to squirm in my seat after seeing Adam, suddenly feeling a bit self-conscious. The tension in the room rises as time ticks and for a moment it gets awkward. After last night I've been thinking, as always, on how to face Adam and now that we're here I don't know, especially since we're in the same room with everyone else. One wrong move and everybody is on you like a hawk. I gulp and give them a small wave for acknowledgment, it's the least I can do.

"Good morning my lovely family!" Tasha smiles from ear to ear like the Cheshire cat as she strides in.

"Okay people, today we have a packed schedule. Emphases on packed," Leo yawns still in his PJs with a clipboard in hand.

Both seemingly not sensing or choosing to avoid the tension and silence. It's like a relief to at least have it broken no matter how much I desire to just be anywhere but there.

"What?" Bree groans displeased.

"Well yeah you still have to train for missions," Mr. Davenport replies trying to refrain himself from adding a 'duh' and rolling his eyes.

"But-"

"No buts."

Tasha's P.O.V.

I enter the living room to find my family only seconds before Leo does.

"Good morning my lovely family!" I exclaim happily.

They, mostly Leo, begins rambling about schedules and whatnot but I zone out from their conversation and decide to focus on two members who are oddly quiet.

Chase is adamantly avoiding Adam's eyes and Adam looks like he's about to grovel and beg Chase. Whatever is going on they're acting like little kids with a huge crush but can't admit it. It's cute though. I may not always be there with them but I know when they may like someone or in this case each other. I just hope Donald will take it lightly when he finds out both his sons are into each other, much less that they're homosexual. I just know that I'm already on their side whatever may com.

Adam's P.O.V.

I desperately try to catch Chase's gaze but he's avoiding me at all costs and I don't know why...Okay maybe I do know.

I really screwed up last night, maybe that's the reason or maybe it's 'cause I finished the cereal?

"But-"

"No buts," Big D says sternly.

I immediately burst out into fits of laughter while wiggling my behind. I know I'm an idiot but where's the fun in living if we always have to be serious right?

"Butts!" I choke out.

Leo joins in my laughter party, tears forming in the corners if his eyes.

Big D rolls his eyes and chuckles, "Adam... not those kinds of buts."

"You said it though!" I accuse, pointing at him and trying to catch my breath.

"Yes, my fault, blame it on me," he grins once settled.

My gaze catches Chase smiling at me, those big hazel eyes sparkling with life looking my way. Finally that beautiful smile appears. And then I suddenly become hard from just that gesture. 'Damn it!'

I try to walk out the room slowly as to not get any unnecessary attention from anyone. When I think no one is looking and I'm closer to the hall, I rush out and don't notice the figure that follows me from behind.

Chase's P.O.V.

I see Adam walk away, his lightened face turning a bit serious for my liking; he's never had such an expression unless he's concentrating which only happens during math. I don't know what's bothering him and I hope it isn't something bad. Instead I decide to reluctantly follow behind him. This could also be an opportunity to apologize for claiming 'weird' things that are possibly not true and only in my head. I can't help but shudder.

I stop shortly as Adam abruptly halts in front of the bathroom door. If I hadn't noticed I would've continued walking and collided with him.

"Adam?" I call carefully not wanting to startle him in case he might be glitching.

He turns around and faces me but his body remains immobile, still turned away from mine. At least I'm reassured he's okay, physically.

"You okay?" I question concerned.

"Just fine," he laughs nervously apparently lying.

He's never good at lying.

"Want me to get Davenport?" I ask as I turn to leave and get him.

"Chase, no!" He launches himself straight at me.

We tumble to the floor falling, Adam on top of me. His legs straddle my thigh and a hand beside my head holds his body from crushing me. I gasp in surprise and shock at the sudden motion. Adam's breathing inadvertently becomes into ragged pants. Then, only then, do I notice the bulge pressed on my thigh.

"A-Adam?" My voice hitches uncontrollably.

I can feel my face heat up and become flustered. His head is in the crook of my neck trying to breathe normally but his attempts are failing. His warm breath hits my cool skin sending a spark throughout my body. I shiver slightly in response.

"Adam?" I whisper flushed.

"Sorry Chase," he moans.

"F-for w-what?" I stutter.

Adam raises a bit, enough to have his face mere centimeters away from mine. And then little by little the gap closes. His eyes are lustful as he kisses me deeply. My own eyes flutter close at the feel of soft warm lips against mine. Another moan escapes his mouth pressed against mine.
My arms unconsciously wrap around his neck, fingers threading through his soft dark hair, deepening the kiss even further.

We only break a part gasping for much needed air. But we still don't move from our place on the ground.

"Chase, next time just let me finish," Adam begins.

"Hm?" I wonder confused.

"I do love you Chasey," he whispers in my ear.

"Really?" I question.

"Yes Chase, I love you and you have no idea how much," he replies so sincere.

I initiate the kiss this time to show that I love him too, that I've always loved him. I open my mouth just a bit and Adam takes the chance to slip his tongue inside. We both battle for dominance but we both know who will win. His hold on my small framed body tightens as he presses harder yet. I let a soft moan finally escape. I'm so relieved and actually happy. And then...

"Davenport alert!" Eddy shouts.

I pull back eyes wide as I breathe hard.

"Davenport ALERT!"
