Be mine



The green heart shape candy made a rather satisfying crunch when crushed between Zach s teeth.



My love



Zach gave a little snort and then popped the pink candy into his mouth following it with another resounding crunch.



Soul Mate



Yea right. He growled out tossing the white heart across the room angrily.



See it hadn t been long since Zach had thought all of those things had applied to a certain some one. A certain some one who was unable to keep his dick in his pants while Zach went away to college.



Yea Peachy. At least that s what Zach thought when he d come home for Christmas break only to find his high-school sweetheart shacked up with the red-headed Chess Club President.



Zach had to admit the boy didn t look like any Chess Club President any more.



But that was beside the point!



Eric had been Zach s and Zach s alone. They d discovered their sexuality together they d made love together for the first time they d love each other and they d been inseparable unbreakable!



Or so he d though.



It had been a hard break for Zach to accept but he d had the good fortune to be able to return to his dorm room and his room mate Adrian who had been rather supportive of the whole thing.



Adrian wasn t gay he dated woman hell he flirted with anything that showed a bit of cleavage but when it came to Zach and his sexuality the guy just couldn t be more open and understanding. He d done everything but go beat the hell out of Eric and had Zach allowed it he s certain the other young man would have given Eric a run for his money. But it hadn t been worth Zach s time. Adrian was so supportive he d even made efforts to get him out and about and even trying to set him up with a gay friend of his or two though Zach generally refused.



Both he and Zach had made it into school on sports scholarships and while Adrian was larger then most guys he couldn t compare to Zach in size. They were often teased by other team mates about Adrian being the bitch of their relationship. Both boys took the playful banter in stride.



What made it hard for Zach at least was that while Adrian was just trying to be the good friend his nature demanded Zach s feelings were beginning to get a jumbled around. While he knew logically he hadn t a chance with his best friend his heart was wishing for things he couldn t control. It was difficult but Zach kept his feelings to himself and just smiled at the banter of their teammates gracefully denied the dates Adrian set up and pretended that Adrian was as sexless as he possibly could.



Hey Zach Adrian s voice was deep and rich and there was always the sound of a smile lurking here and there. It made Zach s heart trip. He tried to ignore it. Quit throwing them damn candies at my bed before I beat you. Adrian grumbled closing the front door with his big toe as both his hands were full. Placing the two coffee cups down on the table he gave Zach a stern look. It s been over four months Zach. I know it s hard but you gotta get over this. Because I don t think I can sleep in a candy infested bed any more. His tone was admonishing and playful but he seemed to be a little worried.



Zach glared at his friend then after a moment he sighed. If only Adrian was gay then all would be right with the world. If Zack was being honest with himself he might admit his mooning over his ex was really a distraction from the unattainable love currently in his life. Eh fuck it. He grumbled then picked up his coffee and sort of melted as he took his first sip. Thanks for the coffee Adrian. He murmured his thanks as his friend drop his athletic form into the chair opposite him.



Welcome he said picking up one of the candies so Zach could see it. U R Nice. He read aloud and Zach s scowl deepened. He threw the little heart at Zach s chest and picked up another one. U R # 1 he read out again Jeezus these things get worse every year. Where did you even find these things? Valentine s isn t for two months. Then tossed that one at Zach s chest too picking up the next candy.



A month and a half and a Specialty shop. Zach mumbled. He hated the candies but he found himself morbidly fascinated with them. Zach just couldn t give them up.



Aha your obsession strikes again. Adrian replied. EZ 2 Love he read allowed batting his eyelashes playfully at his depressed friend. That was about all Zack could take and finally he cracked a smile and shook his head kicking Adrian under the table.



Ass.



You love it.



Hrmph.



@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@



Zach paused at the door to his shared room staring at the envelope tapped to his door with the name Zach scrawled out in bold letters. He juggled his books moved his arm and ripped the envelope off the door before pushing it open and dropping all his books on the table.



Whatcha got? Adrian asked from his place on his bed seeing that Zach hadn t put down the letter with the rest of his daily learning equipment.



I dunno some letter or something. Pulling out a chair Zach sat down and turned the envelope in his hands before ripping it open. Inside was a carefully hand written letter.



Zach



I ve been watching you for months now and have been considering how I should approach you how I should let you know I care. I find myself watching you at odd moments I m present at all your games and I can never keep my eyes from you. I know this might sound strange but I m heart pounding blood racing tremble when you re close in love with you.



Love S.A
.



Zach stared at the letter in his hands then read it over and over and over again for about five minutes until a very confused Adrian got up off his bed with a groan and snatched the letter out of Zach s hands. What the fuck does it say? You look like some one shot your puppy! he growled out turning the paper so he could read it. Whoa fuck. Was all he said clearing his throat.



Uh huh. Zach mumbled Who the hell could it be?



Um apparently S.A. Do you think it s a woman? he asked suddenly Oh gods I m gonna laugh my ass off if it s a woman. Adrian s mirth was contagious but still Zach didn t know how to react.



I bet your right I bet you it is a woman but I can hope it s a boy can t I? Adrian chuckled at the wistfulness of his friend s words and then dropped the letter back down to the table.



Hey you can hope anything you want bud. It s a nice letter maybe they ll send you more. I know if I was in you re shoes I d be looking everywhere at our next game.



Yea I will be. I ll be looking but it will be at you. Zach carefully folded up his letter trying to shove that thought out of his mind then pulled a small box out from in his bedside table his special box. Setting the letter inside with his other valuables he closed the lid with a quiet sigh and then turned to his studies while Adrian watched him covertly a smile tugging at his lips.



@@@@@@@@



It went like this for the next few weeks every day a new letter would show up folded with words of how much the person apparently cared for Zach.



Zach



I saw you at practice today and my heart beat so hard I was sure you could hear it over the sounds of the game. Sometimes when you look my direction I imagine that you are looking at me thinking of me but I know that it s just a fantasy. I hope my letters haven t made you uncomfortable but I just cant keep my feelings in any longer I love you I wish I had the courage to tell you who I was but I m afraid you wont care about me like I care about you. It s that fear that keeps me away that fear that has my stomach all tied up in knots.



So I ll content myself to writing you these little notes. I love you Zach I dream of you.



Love S.A.




Fuck another one. Zach flopped down on the couch beside Adrian handing the note over to his friend without looking at him. Burying his hand into Adrian s popcorn he began to munch as his friend read the letter over with a low whistle.



Dreaming of you oh man this person is head over heals for you. Adrian muttered What re you gonna do bud?



Well what can I do? Zach sighed It s not like I can ring em up on the phone and ask him out for dinner. That s assuming he s a man. I mean shit what if it really is a woman? Zach said and then rubbed his eyes with a low groan. Worst thing is I m beginning to feel a little… I don t know I kinda want to meet this person now. The poetry in the letter yesterday honestly it melted my heart I want to know this person one way or another. Since I can t have you Zach finished silently



Adrian chuckled arching an eyebrow as he handed back the letter You re totally into him! I mean in all honesty it probably IS a man you re not exactly in the closet I m guessing it s not a woman. Of course if it is a woman maybe that s why she s afraid that you won t want her if she comes out directly.



Zach made another soft groan his head falling back against the couch with a mumble You re not helping matters Adri! he snapped I feel like I m going nuts half in love with this person and what if I find I can t stand to physically touch them? Jeezus this is awful. Zach turned his head looking at his friend for a moment if only the mystery writer could be half the man his roommate and best friend was but that was far too much to ask for.



Quit mooning over me gonna make my heart go all aflutter. He said coyly eyelashes batting in that playful way of his.



Zach tried to hide a blush.



Eh fuck you bitch. You re not half as perfect as you think. He teased.



You know you want this perfect ass of mine.



You wish. Zach reached out to grab a lock of Adrian s curly blond hair giving it a tug. You re just itching to have my man-meat I can just tell by that hungry look in your eyes.



Oh ICK! You re going to make me sick before my date tonight! Adrian groaned giving a tremble and making an exaggerated look of horror.



Oh wounded my heart! My aching wounded heart! Zach covered his left breast with both hands making calf-eyes at his friend then bust up laughing with a small shake to his head. Go get ready for your date who s this one? he asked with a grin.



Saaandy. Adrian drew her name out with a little grin Hot little number with all that beautiful red hair. Yeesh I ve been trying to get at her for months finally caved to my devilish charm like all females do. Adrian blew on his fingernails then buffed them on his shirt smirking.



Well have fun. Zach grabbed a pillow and lay down on his half of the couch eyes locked on the movie his mind however on his strange mystery lover and Adrian. He fantasized that they were one in the same but reality was far too unkind to him for that.



Will do! Adrian said as he made his way towards the bathroom to get himself all prettied up. He was worse then a queen of that Zach was absolutely certain.



@@@@@@@@@



Zach woke to Adrian gripping his shoulder Bud wake up. He slurred and when Zach s head came up he got a whiff of his friend s tequila laden breath. Zach I have to tell you something. He could barely speak.



Sitting up in bed Zach rubbed his eyes sleepily and gave a good natured grumble What? Need condoms? Christ man its two o clock in the morning.



Adrian looked confused as Zach fumbled in his bedside table for the condoms he kept there. No he slurred one hand coming out to bat away Zach s arm then felt its way up to his shoulder and gave him a little shake. I don t needa condom. She went home hours go. He mumbled.



Man Adri you better keep your breath away from open flames. Zach wheezed his eyes watering at the burning scent of liquor.



I know who it is. Adrian muttered beneath his breath giving a low groan I know who S.A is Zach… he stammered Ya wan me ta tell you?



Zach froze squinting at his friend his insanely drunk friend who was near tumbling from the edge of his bed because he couldn t sit up straight. Adrian s hand still clung to Zach s shoulder and it moved to the back of his neck gripping his nape as he leaned in to press his mouth in a drunken kiss that rocked Zach s world on top of its head. He couldn t believe Adrian was kissing him and after a moment he moaned and slid his hand up to those perfect blonde curls clutching his hair in a loose fistful. The kiss went on for a moment then Zach force himself to break it.



Adri? he asked a little breathless and more then a little stunned. His friend gave him a roguish lopsided grin then his eyes rolled back into his skull and he pitched forward passing out cold in Zach s lap.



Zach didn t move not for a long drawn out moment. He could hear Adrian s breathing loud in the dark silence of the room his heart pounding in his chest and his cock twitching beneath the sheets but he still couldn t believe this was real. Carefully he pulled Adrian more fully into the bed with him drawing the covers up and watching his peacefully sleeping face for a long long time until finally sleep crawled its way through his skull to drag him down into sweet beautiful oblivion.



@@@@@@@@



When Adrian woke the first thing he noticed was a pounding in his skull so awful he groaned. The second thing he noticed was the warm body beside him in bed and the thought that he might have slept with that woman Sandy caused him to groan anew. The body beside him shifted some and Adrian couldn t force himself to open his eyes to see the woman he had undoubtedly fucked into a senseless stupor the night before. Christ his eyes hurt his head hurt his stomach hurt oh hell everything hurt.



Mmm… Good morning sleepyhead. The sound of the voice that greeted his ears was sleep-roughened and husky and it somehow made him even sicker then the idea that Sandy had been in bed with him. Adrian s eyes opened with an almost audible snap and when his eyes confirmed what his ears had heard he felt the blood drain from his face and wondered what he d done.



Did we I mean what the um… why…? Why am I in your bed?! He choked out his stomach knotting and heaving slightly. Oh gods… why am I in your bed? he realized after a moment that his eyes had closed again and his hands were covering his face so he slowly pulled his hands down and peeked over them at Zach then wished he hadn t.



Don t worry I didn t take advantage of your tequila soaked brain. Zach snapped tossing the sheets and covers off of him and getting to his feet without another word. Adrian stared after him mouth agape. The look in his friend s eyes had been horrified it had turned from sexy sleepy to humiliated in a blink of an eye and Adrian wished he could have taken back his words but he couldn t.



Getting out of bed he realized he was still totally and completely dressed which only made him feel worse. He should have thought before speaking but he hadn t and now he didn t know what to do. He walked to the bathroom door and knocked softly Zach? he called out. I didn t mean that how it sounded.



Doesn t matter came the voice from behind the door and when it opened again a fully dressed and put together Zach stepped out his wavy black hair neatly combed and he pushed past his friend. I have to get to class. He said not meeting Adrian s eyes then walked out without another word leaving Adrian confused and uncertain and absolutely distraught.



He couldn t remember what happened the night before he couldn t remember to save his life he remembered going out to dinner drinking wine with Sandy and then taking her to a club and getting shit faced. That s how he could stand to sleep with women. He didn t want anyone knowing he was gay his father was a minister and that would ruin his family absolutely ruin them. He had to keep up a good front. He absolutely had to stay in the closet even if that meant he d never be happy.



But he was in love with Zach. Heartbreakingly in love with the man who was so open about who he was in every single last aspect of his life. Adrian had been in love with him for months but hadn t wanted to infringe on the sacred first-love relationship he and Eric had had. However when that ended he could only take so much of his dearest friend moping about and soon he found himself unable to stop writing the notes the letters. He ll admit freely that at first the secret admirer letters were just a way of making Zach feel better. Zach needed to feel good about himself really he did but if he was being honest with himself Adrian knew that was just an excuse to get his true feelings out.



Sighing Adrian rubbed a hand over his face then rubbed at his aching temples with a soft groan. He couldn t do this he couldn t be in love with a man. He needed to keep up his good name. Turning he picked up the phone punching in the numbers to Sandy s room. It rang three times then she picked up.



Hello? Came her soft voice.



Hey Sandy it s me Adrian. I was wondering if you d like to go out dancing tonight. There s a sweet little club downtown that is having a Salsa night and I d like nothing better then to take such a lovely lady with me.



Sure! That sounds great Adrian! What time you gonna pick me up? she asked sounding happy and pleased. Adrian s stomach roiled.



I ll be there at six take you to dinner and then get to the club early so we can enjoy ourselves. He told her.



Wonderful I ll see you tonight. She said and he could hear her slightly breathless voice. Adrian would bet money she was blushing.



Saying their goodbyes he hung up the phone and groaned inwardly once more before going to take a shower and ready himself for the day.



@@@@@@@@@@



Zach experienced a moment of de-ja-vou as he fought his way out of unconsciousness as a result of some one shaking him. He opened his eyes and groaned seeing Adrian leaning over him smelling like liquor and sex this time. Great. Just fucking great. What do you want Adri? Zack groaned then tried to roll over. Adrian wouldn t let him go though.



I love you. He slurred his words I m S.A. I can t hide it any more I need you. He stammered out one hand cupping Zach s cheek as he gazed down into his beloved face. Zach nearly gagged from the smell of sex and woman all over his fingers and one hand came up to push his arm away. I love you. Tell me you love me. Adrian looked so out of it and clearly he didn t remember the previous evening s admittance which would explain his reaction upon waking.



Zach threw the covers off of him and got to his feet dragging Adrian up with him without a single word. Where are we going? Please tell me you love me I love you so much. Tears streamed down Adrian s face and Zach wanted to smack him for being an angsty drunk but he didn t instead he drew him towards the bathroom pushed him into the shower and turned on the cold water.



A shout tore free of Adrian s throat but it had the desired effect as his eyes almost immediately cleared from the shock. What the fuck was that for!? he screamed up at Zach who stood with arms folded over his bare broad chest gazing down at him. I tell you I fucking love you and you throw me in a cold shower?

You told me you loved me last night too but woke up and demanded to know why you were in my bed. I m not interested in reliving this morning s humiliation so anything you say to me is going to be at least partially sober. He said voice cold.



Adrian felt the blood drain from his face and his eyes filled with tears as he sat beneath the thrumming stream of cold water. I m sorry I just couldn t tell you sober. I went out to dinner with Sandy and I couldn t look at her all I wanted was you. All I kept thinking of was you. He gave a soft groan and pressed his head against the cool tile of shower stall.



You fucked Sandy tonight. Zach replied softly aching to reach out and comfort the man he loved as a friend and the man he wanted as a lover. He d really wanted Adrian for months but hadn t allowed himself to even think about it. It was as if the fact that Adrian liked men suddenly opened a floodgate of emotion Zach hadn t realized he d been holding back and he yearned ached to wrap his arms around the other man and kiss away his tears.



No… I didn t. he whispered I tried to but I just couldn t. I got her off and left. He whispered.



Zach turned off the water slowly then stepped into the stall and leaned down. He was wearing what he slept in every night a pair of comfortable old boxers that felt good against his skin and the cool air of the shower stall hit his flesh and raised goosebumps. Okay he whispered reaching out to stroke Adrian s hair back away from his forehead. Let s get you out of these clothes and into bed. He murmured and Adrian turned his head into the gentle touch opening his eyes to gaze up at the man he was so utterly in love with.



Zach had to help Adrian up and when he finally stood he was a little wobbly but Zach had the feeling it wasn t because of the liquor it was the admission that had him so out of it. His eyes were clear now he wasn t drunk anymore which some how made this whole thing worse. Will you kiss me? Adrian swallowed hard looking up into Zach s beautiful brown eyes and when the other man stepped forward his bare chest brushing against the freezing cold of Adrian s shirt he gave a small whimper deep in the back of his throat tilting his head up so that his friend could easily reach his mouth.



Yes… Zach breathed quietly fitting his mouth over Adrian s in the slowest tantalizing and amazing kiss he d ever experienced. Hands suddenly couldn t get enough of each other Adrian s sliding along the warm skin of Zach s back and Zach s fingers trailing gentle patterns along Adrian s jaw and neck. The kiss seemed to go on forever and by the time it was over neither man could breathe their hearts pounded in their chests and their eyes fluttered nearly to the back of their skulls.



Oh fuck Adrian whispered oh fuck please do it again.



Zach didn t even respond this time their lips met again but this time it wasn t the slow tender and gentle thing it had been before. This time it was out of control maddeningly frantic needy and Adrian moaned against it. His knees went weak all of a sudden yet somehow Zach knew and caught him just in time pressing his back against the cool tile of the shower to help support him.



My clothes Adrian whispered against Zach s mouth I need to get out of them. He moaned quietly his hands sliding down to the small of Zach s back. The kisses had been enough to draw him to full arousal and the tight constriction of his wet jeans over his length was driving him crazy.



Pulling back Zach s hands went to the hem of Adrian s wet shirt peeling it up and over his head. He couldn t help but bend his head down to capture one fully erect nipple in his mouth and draw on it steadily. Most men have some form of reaction to this but Adrian s was far more intense that Zach would have guessed. His hands immediately went to his hair curling in the silky black strands and tugging fitfully as his breath hitched in his throat. Oh my god. He breathed and Zach grinned against his chest moving to the other nipple to do the very same thing.



It was a damn good thing Adrian s back was against the wall because if it hadn t been he d have been a melted puddle of goo on the floor and eventually slid right down the drain itself. It was as though his nipples were a direct link to his cock and each draw and pull and nibble and bite on those sensitive nubs caused him to moan and writhe his cock jumping for attention begging silently for more.



It hurts oh gods Zach it hurts… Adrian gasped out and Zach suddenly jerked his head back looking into his lovers eyes with concern lighting his own.



What hurts? I thought you were enjoying it. He said looking a little upset.



Oh gods not that don t stop that. Adrian said and for a moment he looked into Zach s eyes and suddenly began to laugh quietly at the whole situation. Zach grinned a little his eyes lovingly tracing the lines of Adri s face until he finally calmed enough to tell him what was hurting. My pants they re wet and I m too confined. He whispered and immediately realization dawned on Zach and he gave a little grimace and a small laugh.



I m sorry love he said kissing Adrian s mouth briefly as fingers worked to unbutton and unzip him to free his painfully constricted length. Despite the cold wet clothing Adrian s cock was like molten steal in his hands hot enough to smolder as he gripped him and eased him out of the jeans. Adrian couldn t help but buck his hips forward into Zach s hand moaning and whimpering in response but Zach wasn t willing to give it direct attention yet and released him almost immediately much to Adri s dismay.



Don t stop please! he nearly yelled his throat closing up as Zach hooked his fingers into the waistline of his jeans and boxers pulling them down and carefully taking the time to get his shoes off and remove his pants completely. When he stood again his hand dropped to clench gently around Adrian s hard length giving it a slow stroke.



Let me get you warm he said tugging on his length playfully in an attempt to lead Adri to the bedroom. Shit your knees are going out on you. Zach laughed as he released his loves cock to wrap his arms around him and draw him towards the bed. Adrian was laughing breathlessly too his hands clenching and unclenching through Zach s soft hair and when they literally fell into bed it was with soft moans and gentle laughter as then snuggled under the covers and wrap themselves around each others bodies.



They fit almost perfectly Zach s larger form nestling Adri s right in against his chest and tangling their legs together they found they could slowly grind against each others hips rubbing their cocks together in the most incredibly explosive manner. Zach held Adrian s face in his hands gazing into his eyes as they rubbed together watching the way they dilated with pleasure the way his breath hitched and his lips parted with soft moans. Adrian in turn never took his eyes off his lover his hands sliding along his hips and lower back pulling him forward with each grinding thrust.



Feels so good. Adrian whispered and Zach nodded his head leaning forward to capture his lips his grinding beginning to go a little faster his body aching with need and desire. He wanted this more then anything he wanted to make love to Adrian to hold him while he came to do everything with him. Zach Zach… Adrian gasped out breaking the kiss Slow down slow – oh gods I m so close slow down. He whimpered but Zach didn t slow down instead he held him closer and gazed into his eyes.



There was a split second when Adrian realized there was no turning back and in that simple moment fear desire love and need crossed his features chasing each other around and around and then he exploded. It was amazing his body arched his hips ground hard into Zach s his breath caught and he made the most beautiful music of moans and groans that Zach had ever heard. He held his own orgasm in check so close himself his breath coming quick panting as he began to devour his lover s neck in gentle nips and kisses as he held him through his release.



Adrian clung to Zach pulling him closer holding him and squirming helplessly in his arms. Make love to me. Fuck me please Zach I need it. I need you. Adrian began to babble out in the wave upon wave of pleasure that came as the aftermath of such an intense orgasm. I ve never cum so hard before never never please… please inside of me please! He nearly cried with the emotions coursing through his body and after a moment Zach just looked into his lover s eyes and then wordlessly rolled him onto his back positioning himself between Adri s legs.



I don t want to hurt you I should take days making you ready Adri. He murmured biting his lower lip.



I don t care I don t I don t care if it hurts and I have never needed anything so badly in my entire life. I *need* you. I think I ll go crazy if you don t do it now. I m afraid I ll loose my nerve.



Shhh I ll do whatever you want. Zach whispered smiling a smile that lit up his face with love. It made Adrian s heart hammer in his chest feeling so very safe with the man above him.



I love you Zach. Adrian whispered.



I love you too Adri. I ve loved you so long I just wouldn t let myself think about it because…



I know. He replied quietly his eyes sparkling with emotion. This was the perfect moment. The perfect moment for a first time and Zach wasn t about to back out now oh no!



Zach leaned down over his mate pressing his lips to the other mans only driving his breathing into more erratic passes. Deep soul searing bone trembling kisses that seemed to linger and go on forever by the time that Zach finally pulled himself far enough away to go on trailing his heated mouth down Adrian s chest. Licks nips and bites made their way down all that tawny skin. The taste of Adrian on his tongue was like ambrosia nothing could have been better and with each pass of his tongue over flesh Zach found himself moaning softly.



He nearly came undone when his playfully lapping tongue slide down to Adrian s belly and tasted the evidence of his pleasure cooling their. Slick and salty-sweet Zach began to continue tasting with whimpered moans and when he glanced up he noticed Adrian looking at him curiously.



You taste good. Zach growled and a slow sexy smile spread across Adri s lips.



I do? he whispered.



Yea you taste like salty honey. Zach couldn t help but return the grin knowing he was being all sickeningly poetic in his description and his friend his love would tease him for it.



But Adrian didn t tease him. He just looked at him with this love struck absolutely emotion filled look on his face. It was that look that really hit Zach to the very core right down to his heart and dipping his head down he drew Adrian s flagging shaft into his mouth sucking hard.



Reaching for the bedside table Zach fumbled till he found the lubricant and got his fingers lubed up. He rubbed those fingertips over the tight warm opening again and again. Quick little passes to see how his lover would react to the new sensation. Adrian reacted better then he d expected by far. He arched a bit and gasped wanting more. The lovely eyes that had been staring into his face as if Zach would disappear if Adri closed his eyes for a split second were so hazy they were sightless and his breathing came so fast it was one of the most adorable things Zach had ever seen.



He never let up on his cock his mouth sliding along the slick flesh of that perfect member and all the while he glanced up the long line of his lover s body to watch his face his expressions taking the time to make certain that every action he did was pleasure making certain he wasn t doing any wrong. One finger began to wriggle within that tight ring slowly oh so very slowly and yet it seemed to only send Adrian panting even harder squirming.



If Zach hadn t known any better he might have thought that this was no where near his first time he acted like an old hat at it but Zach did know him and he knew it wasn t the case.



Tell me… Zach whispered finally pulling the sweet head from between his lips looking up at Adrian with emotion filled eyes



Make love to me. Adrian whispered back voice a bare breath of a whisper.



Zach groaned.



Please. He whispered out hoarsely. I m nervous I ve never… he broke off his heart pounding hard.



Its okay Zach whispered leaning over to get a bottle of lubricant laying on the bed and a condom from his bedside drawer. He coated his fingers in the slippery stuff and moved slightly so he could press them against the very core of his lover.



Adrian s eyes glazed fear and anxiety clear on his face but Zach just looked down at him with the tenderest expression. I m scared Zach. He whispered and Zach nodded his head as he stroked his fingers over that tight perfect opening.



I know… if you want me to just touch you tonight then that s okay we have all the time in the world. Zach whispered fingers teasing over his lovers tight opening. I don t want to push you.



Adrian s whole body was limp from the intensity of his previous orgasm his belly still coated in the slick stuff. However when Zach touched his ass his cock throbbed with the pleasure of it. He drew in a sharp sudden breath and then forgot to release it holding it as Zach slowly and gently played those fingers over him. The burning in his lungs however brought him back to the reality that one must breath to continue on living and he let out his air in a rushing whoosh his eyes closing and his head tilting back. It feels so good. He gasped out in a soft whisper.



The first well lubricated finger slipped past the tight ring of muscle Zach gazed down adoringly at his love and lover a small smile touching his lips at the way Adrian squirmed and gasped out his reaction. Like it? Zach whispered softly and Adri nodded his head franticly.



Yea sort of sore but it feels good. He whispered and Zach immediately began to stroke and touch more gently sliding his finger into his tight body very carefully. Yea… that s better. Adrian groaned head falling back and eyes closing as he gave himself into the gentle affection of this man he d been in love with for so very long.



Just tell me if I hurt you. Zach murmured his excitement growing second by second as he slowly worked a second finger into the man beneath him. It took some time but soon he had Adrian writhing beneath him as he worked him with his fingers too the point that he thought he could get inside of him with relative ease.



Adorably Adrian was begging by the time Zach felt he was ready soft pleading words looks and writhing beneath him in ways that made it all the more hard to keep himself from just sliding home but he wasn t willing to hurt his lover the first time out of the gate.



Shhh love shhh. Zach whispered softly his heart thudding and hammering in his breast. It d been so long since the last time he d made love to anyone since the last time he d been touched by anyone and he was as excited as Adrian was especially when you calculate and factor in the amount of raw emotion both men shared for each other.



Looking up Adrian gazed into Zach s eyes all cloudy with need and desire. I can t stand it I need you inside of me please. He pleaded hoarsely I ve never wanted anyone like I want you Zach please.



A groan ripped free of Zach s throat and he closed his eyes nodding very slowly with a softly indrawn breath. Are you sure? he whispered then leaned down so he could cup Adrian s face and gaze into his eyes again searchingly It can hurt the first time Adri. Maybe even the first few times. He admitted softly Whatever you want I ll do whatever you want.



Anxiety and fear rippled across Adrian s face and after a moment one of his hands came up and slowly stroked over Zach s cheek. A small smile crept its way along his lips and his eyes shone with emotion I love you Adrian. I ve been in love with you since the day I met you. He smiled I couldn t think of anyone I d rather be with then you.



Zach smiled tenderly turning his face in against the touch of his lover s hand. I love you too. Is all he said a soft whisper an admission of his love and affection that needed no more explanation then he leaned his head down to brush a tender kiss to his mates mouth nibbling gently on his lower lip.



The kiss lingered for a long long moment then Zach forced himself to draw away with a low groan reaching for the tube of lubricant and condom again. Shaking hands spread the rubber over the head of his cock and down the shaft and while he fumbled with the protection Adrian watched with fascination one hand reaching out to help with the last bit. Zach smiled allowing his love to roll the thing down his shaft but the touch to his throbbing shaft only made him want more making it hard for him to hold back the need he felt boiling over his skin.



Zach handed Adrian the lubricant and with a smile he popped the cap stroking and covering Zach s cock with as much as he possibly could. As he did he took the moment to explore the feeling of that hot turgid flesh in his hands. The sensation was exhilarating and what made it even more so was that each time he stroked his slick lubed hands up and down the shaft Zach bucked and jerked his cock twitching and the most delightful sounds came from the strong chest. Adri had never thought Zach might make helpless sounds but as he fought to remain still he did indeed make helpless sounds feeling overwhelmed and incredibly excited.



You keep doing that and I m going to cum before I ever manage to get inside of you. Zach finally gasped out after one long hard stroke his breath coming in hard pants.



But I like the sounds you make Adrian whispered grinning playfully as he continued to stroke his mate again and again a little quicker.



A moan broke through Zach s throat again a shudder slithering along his spine Oh gods Adri I want to make love to you. He whimpered but couldn t force himself to stop the strokes. It took another moment or so but Adrian finally stopped the teasing an exploratory touches pulling his mate down for another deep lingering kiss.



Make love to me he murmured softly and immediately Zach nodded his head and positioned his cock against that tight opening.



You need to relax and bear down on me. I am gonna go as slow as I can you just tell me if your uncomfortable. He whispered softly Okay?



Okay Adrian whispered against his lover s mouth pulling him closer by wrapping his arms around him and stroking soft trails down his spine.



Zach arched up and whimpered then began to press his firm flesh slowly against that very tight opening. There was a moment when he saw Adrian wince as the head of his cock slipped through that barrier and panting helplessly Zach paused to make certain he was okay.



It feels like so much. Adrian groan goosebumps exploding over every inch of his bared skin. Okay I m ready for more. He finally whispered and Zach nodded his head mutely. His emotions were so thick he could barely breathe past them let alone form words. It was as if his tongue had become thick and swollen and when Adrian lifted his head to begin kissing him again Zack let out a soft inarticulate sound of want so intense it was carnal.



His hips slid slow oh so slow into that tight constricted opening and when he finally felt hilted his breath caught and Adrian broke the kiss that had been lingering in loving passes of lips against lips to gasp as his fingernails dug into Zach s rump. FUCK. Adri whispered more verbal than Zack felt he could even be in this moment.

He d never been quiet before but there was something so precious in this moment – this first time was as special and sweet and tender as the last he d shared. Maybe even more so he was older and wiser now. He cupped Adrian s face and gazed into his eyes his tongue lapped out gently at those sweet lips and he stayed perfectly still waiting for Adrian to grow accustomed to his intrusion.



It didn t take long for him to grow accustomed soon he was arching beneath Zach and whimpering. His hands fluttered over the smooth flesh of Zach s back and then ended gripping his ass once more pulling him closer forcing him to grind against him. Please please… I need you to move. He gasped and Zach grinned down at him.



He began slowly drawing out inch by painfully slow inch before he slid home with just as much tender attention. It was driving Adrian insane and after the first few strokes like this his breath was ragged and his eyes bright and glassy. Fuck! Hard do it hard. He gasped out and Zach hesitated.



He only hesitated a moment because Adrian reached up to grip the back of his neck and looked up at him. I like rough. He whispered cheeks flushing deeply all of a sudden.



Zach was confused for a moment what was his lover saying? It will hurt you re too tight.



I know.



Realization dawned on Zach and he swallowed hard his mouth going dry. You like pain? he whispered to his lover who nodded mutely and then glanced away shyly.



Without another word Zach drew out of him slowly causing a pleasured gasp to come from Adrian and then he slammed home almost as hard as he could. Adrian cried out his eyes closing as he shuddered beneath Zach as he began a series of pounding hard thrusts.



Adrian writhed screamed begged and pleaded.



Zach loved it.



Drawing Adrian s hands up over his head Zach held them pinned there as he gazed down into his face and continued to fuck him with intense stroke after stroke. He was getting close he know he couldn t keep this up forever. Quick hard thrusts were incredible but they made it hard to hold orgasm at bay.



Zach dipped his head down as Adrian arched his head back into the pillow baring the column of his throat. It wasn t that throat that he was aiming for however it was the flat little nipples that begged for attention those nipples he had found were so incredibly sensitive. He caught one between his teeth tugging and he felt Adrian s fingernails biting into his wrists and writhe beneath the warmth of his body.



ZACH! he cried aloud his body coiled ready so incredibly close. Close close… oh gods.



Zach couldn t believe he was about to cum with only limited exposure to direct cock stimulation. His belly brushed that turgid length between the two of them with each stroke but it was hardly enough.



He let go he let go completely. He nipped and bit and tugged at each of those nipples roughly as his body slid home into Adrian s with such force it rocked the bed on its base causing it to clamor against the wall again and again. The harder he fucked Adrian the more he responded. The sounds were incredible moans cries pleading words and begging. Adrian was completely wanton.



Zach loved it.



He was close so so close and after only a couple more of his brutal strokes he felt himself raising up and then crashing down over the edge of orgasm. He came in a rush quick and hard as he devastated Adrian s body. His teeth left red imprints around his sensitive nipple and then he tore his mouth away from those sensitive nubs for fear he might bite too deep. His hands released Adrian as he shuddered through his climax and his fingers slid quickly to Zach s hair tangling in those silken locks to drag his head down for a kiss offering into Zach s mouth the moans and whimpers as he finally toppled into the sweet oblivion of climax joining his beloved lover in a torrential downpour of pleasure and sensation.



They laid together panting softly shuddering weakly in each other arms Zach still imbedded deeply within Adrian who trembled softly beneath him. It took quite some time for them to regain their heads and when they did all they could do was look at one another and grin sleepily.



That was amazing. Adrian whispered then laughed But I won t be able to sit for a weak. He groaned and rolled his eyes.



Mmm I was willing to go gentle you didn t want it. Zach growled gently and Adrian turned his head to gaze back at him again grinning.



It was the best thing I ve ever experienced. He whispered gently Thank you Zach.



I love you Adrian. He whispered.



I love you too.



Stay in this bed. He murmured Sleep with me.



Mmhmm. Adrian mumbled his eyes already drooping.



Sleep well love. Zach watched him as he began to drift his cock slowly flagging and easily slipping free. He removed the condom carefully trying not to jostle Adrian who slept with his head pillowed against Zach s chest.



Zach watched him silently for a while enjoying the peaceful angelic look on his face. But even he couldn t stay up forever to watch his beloved and soon though he fought it off his eyes began to shutter and finally fall shut as sleep rose up to consume him in sweet warmth and comfort.



@@@@@@@@@@@@@ Adrian woke slowly his body aching in the most pleasant manner imaginable. He felt sated and warm. The night rushed back to him and a slow sexy smile touched his lips as he reached out beneath the covers for Zach s warm hard body only to find the bed empty.



Opening his eyes Adrian saw a note on the bedside table with his name printed in bold letters. He reached for it forcing his eyes to focus on the words written on the page:



Adri



I had to go to class but I didn t want to wake you. I hope you wake up feeling good I can t stop thinking about you and last night. Gods I need you. I hope you ll meet me in front of the oak tree for lunch today.



I can t wait to kiss you.



All my love belongs to you



Zach




Adrian smiled at the note then glanced at the clock. He didn t have classes this morning and it was already ten o clock. He knew Zach would get out at eleven thirty and so forcing himself out of bed he kissed the letter childishly before placing it back on the bedside table and rushing to go get ready showering and dressing.



When he was finished he picked up the letter again tucking it into his pocket and headed for the door unable to keep the shit eating grin from his face. He wandered all the way out to the oak tree before he realized he had at least a half an hour to wait. Shrugging his shoulders he dropped himself down to the grass to rest his back against the old burly trunk wincing at the pain in his very very tender backside. Settling more gingerly on his rump his hand dipped into his pocket to pull out the letter.



Carefully he opened it his fingers caressing the sheet of paper as he read it again and again. He had spent so much time composing his own letters and though this one was short and to the point it was precious to him. He thought about the night previous and he ached in places he never thought he d ache before but it was such an incredibly luscious feeling. He d never felt like this after a tumble with the fairer sex not this sweet seductive sated feeling that went bone deep and left him relaxed and pleasantly happy.



From nowhere fingers plucked the letter from his fingers and before he could reach out for the precious piece of paper the thief had danced out of reach. Whatcha got here Adrian? Adrian felt his heart stutter and stop when his eyes met with the captain of the football team his mouth gone dry.



He was already reading.



Adrian couldn t find his voice.



A bark of a laugh escaped Scott s mouth Oh holy shit! You really ARE fucking Zach! he cawed just as Sandy wandered over. This can t get any worse it can t and Scott s father knows mine. God no no! He screamed internally.



He forced himself to snort and laugh Hardly he s got a crush on me and his fantasy world is rich. He heard himself say his heart shattering into a million shards as he stood to try and reclaim the letter.



Yea right lookit this Sandy. He handed the girl over the letter before Adrian could reclaim it and the color drained from her face as she read the words and Adrian felt his whole world crumbling.



He fought it the fading of the light he couldn t go down like this. It would ruin him. He hadn t been thinking he could never have anything with Zach what was he thinking and what was he thinking?



Oh come on Sandy you don t honestly think that holds any merit what so ever? Adrian rolled his eyes and sidled up to her plucking the letter from her hands and then deliberately shredding it into numerous pieces.



His heart broke.



He hid it well.



Adrian wrapped his arms around Sandy letting his seductive smile spread over his lips. And who was I with last night? he purred to her playfully she blushed. He felt like he was going to be sick.



Scott laughed clapping him on the back as he grinned to her. Ooh gonna be his alibi huh? he teased.



He took me Salsa dancing last night. He agreed And then he came in for a while. Her blush deepened and she stood on tip toes to press her mouth against Adrian s in what she must have considered a seductive kiss. Adrian s stomach heaved as he forced himself to draw her in flush with the rest of his body holding her as that kiss lingered.



When finally she drew away he pretended to let her go reluctantly his playful smile plastered to his lips like a plastic expression. He felt so sick he could barely breathe but he grinned despite himself as she fluttered and snuggled into his arms.



That was when he saw him.



@@@@@@@@@@@@



Zach had heard some of the conversation enough to have watched Adrian tear up the note he assumed was the one he d left on the bedside table. With each tearing sound his heart had gone with it. Watched the way Adrian touched Sandy like he would drown without her. He kissed her like he d kissed Zach last night needy and hungry. It looked to real not to be.



Pain lanced through his heart tightening around his chest like bands of steal slowly cutting off his air supply as he watched that kiss unfold and then it ended and his lungs resumed working. He drew in a shuddering breath and Adrian looked up at him. There was a flash of something in his eyes then he hid it and smirked.



Speak of the devil. Adrian waved. They were best friends after all right? He could still act like best friends.



Scott turned around and made a derisive noise God you need to get your dick screwed on straight. Let go of Adrian man seriously. Scott snorted God I hate fags. Zach felt his heart shrivel a little more when Adrian shook his head.



Man if he wasn t my best friend I d know what you meant but as it is he is my best friend watch your mouth. You weren t s post to see that letter leave him alone. Adrian stood up for him but it didn t matter Zach never cared what that little religious bigot had thought about him.



I rather like my dick screwed on the way that it is. And if you don t shut you re mouth you ll be staring at it from your knees cock-sucker. He snarled. He didn t care about Scott he didn t but his heart was dead from what he d witnessed and all he wanted was distract himself from the pain in his heart.



You shouldn t be hanging out with a fag Adrian you re father would have a fucking fit. You know how he feels about their kind . Zach flinched visibly and Scott laughed sharply. What? Don t you know that you re Adrian s little secret? That s right Daddies in the church and a leader in the anti-gay movement in his area. What daddy doesn t know is that Adrian has a soft spot for faggots.



Do you really think that you re bigotry hides the fact you like sucking cock Scott? Yea that s right I know about you and little Alan. Like the twinks huh? Zach smiled a smile that was pure malice and Scott let out an inarticulate scream as he lunched for him.



Zach didn t even think he simply swung out with his book bag catching Scott flat in the face before landing a punch directly to his solar plexus. The other man went down to his knees fighting to take a breath and then he roared as he leaped at Zach grabbing him around the waste to shove him off balance. Zach tumbled down rolling to try and dislodge the other man but it was useless and when it was said and done Scott was on top of him hitting him in the face.



He remembered thinking as his nose broke that this was infinitely less painful then what Adrian had done. He tasted blood and his eyes stung but he didn t lift a hand to protect him. He didn t even move when Scott rose to his feet and began to kick him in the ribs. He gasped for breath groaning but he just couldn t bring himself to fight back anymore. He didn t care.



It went on for a moment and distantly he heard Adrian screaming at Scott to stop Sandy s voice shrill in the background and then there was nothing but pain blackness and a dull roar exploding through his head.



@@@@@@



Adrian had never seen Zach fight not once in all the time he d known his friend. He was generally even mannered even tempered with enough patience that he could rival a saint. Which is why when he tossed his bag at Scott he thought it d end at that but it hadn t.



Adrian stood in shocked disbelief as the two men tumbled and when Scott ended up atop Zach Adrian has though he d fight to get the upper hand again.



But he hadn t.



Never in his life had Adrian seen some one take the type of blows that Scott dealt to him. His face impassive he d taken punches that could have killed him. He didn t even lift a hand. Adrian stood transfixed by the sight stunned into inaction. It was when Scott stood up and began to kick the man he loved in the ribs repeatedly that he was spurned into action.



STOP IT! he screamed launching himself at Scott taking him down in a tumble and landing on top of him. Scott was bigger but he wasn t interested in fighting Aidon. He s my friend damnit!



He s a fucking faggot! Scott said trying to dislodge him. Adrian glanced up as Sandy went to check on Zach she glanced up looking pale and started to say something but rage overtook Adrian the moment he realized Zach was truly hurt and he drew back and smashed his fist into Scott s stunned face as hard as he fucking could.



I love him you son of a whore! he snarled then leapt up to go to Zach who was wheezing pitifully.



He glanced up Sandy call 911. NOW. He snarled to her and she fumbled for her cell phone as Scott stumbled to his feet and others began to circle around them. Hold him there he s going to fucking jail for hate crimes. SOME ONE HOLD HIM! Adrian screamed rage suffusing his face. Three men stepped forward and surrounded Scott glaring at him but Scott was still shaking his head blood pouring from his mouth as he stumbled unsteadily.



Adrian didn t know what was broken but he had a good idea that one of his lungs wasn t working. He heard Sandy on the phone dimly the police were on the way but each breath that Zach took was growing more and shallower.



Tell them to hurry up he s hardly breathing. Adrian said rocking beside his lover his fingers stroking through Adrian s hair. I m sorry I m sorry Zach oh god keep breathing love keep breathing. He didn t want to move his head not sure if anything in his neck had been broken at those brutal punches to his face. Instead he just stroked his face his hair and his shoulders. Shh breath open your eyes love open them. He pleaded tears staining his cheeks and he didn t even care.



You really are in love with him. Sandy said pain in her eyes.



Sirens sounded in the distance.



Yes. Adrian whispered brokenly. I m sorry.



Sandy shrugged her shoulders falling to her knees beside him and rubbing up and down his back. Don t worry about me let s get your man taken care of. She said and the shock in his face made her grin wryly. You should never hide who you are Adrian no matter who doesn t like it. She wiped away his tears and then looked down at Zach who was still unconscious.



Thanks Sandy. He whispered brokenly I did this to him because I was afraid of what my family would do. I did this to him. I was going to tell you before I saw Scott and realized what coming out meant.



Whispers drew his attention and he realized the people gathered around to see what the fuss was about were staring at him in shock some nodding and some smiling some shaking their heads. They all knew by the end of the day everyone in school would know that he was gay.



And he didn t give a flying fuck.



His finger continued to stroke Zach s hair and he murmured words of encouragement while Sandy stroked his back and moments later the police and paramedics arrived muscling him out of the way.



How long has he been out? One of the men asked. Adrian was too numb to answer his hands coated in both Scotts blood and Zach s.



About 7 minutes. Sandy spoke for him as he watched the Paramedics get oxygen over his face.



Stats are dropping. One of the men said.



Adrian watched in horror as the men began to work on Zach it was frenzy and everyone stood by grim faced and pale as they got him on a stretcher and began to take him to the ambulance.



Adrian followed.



One of the men got in front of him a hand on his chest. Sorry man you can t go.



Adrian shoved him I m going don t even begin to tell me that I can go! he snarled.



The paramedic shook his head Friends can t go. He said firmly You can meet him at the hospital.



He s not my friend he s my boyfriend! Adrian screamed at the man and his face softened a little.



Shit alright come on. He said running a hand through his hair as he led Adrian to the back of the ambulance. Sit at the side stay quiet and stay out of our way. There will be an officer at the hospital to take your statement.



Sandy ran up as the doors were being closed I m going to stay and tell the cops what happened. I ll meet you later. She shouted and he nodded mutely as the door shut and the ambulance began to roll.



It was a hellish trip and though he stayed quiet he never took his eyes off of Zach. It was so hard for him to sit by and watch them doing everything they needed to do to keep him alive. A punctured lung they d told him but they still needed X-rays to find out for certain. Surgery they d told him. Adrian thought he was going to be sick.



He d done this. His fear of who he was did this. The fact he was too chicken shit to much a coward to just admit to the love of his life.



He sat holding Zach s hand fingers gently brushing over his knuckles. They d settled him into a room after taking the x-rays expecting to have to wheel him away to surgery any moment. I ll never lie again. I ll never deny you again just survive please please god I love you so much. He whispered hoarsely brokenly as the tears stained his cheeks.



Sandy came into the room worry etching her features. She was followed by a police officer but Adrian wasn t willing to take his attention off his beloved yet so the police officer stood back and waited.



Moments later a group of people came in and as Adrian sobbed the wheeled him to be prepped for surgery a place he couldn t follow. A doctor explained to him and Sandy that he was likely to survive the surgery that it looked positive but Adrian couldn t stop shaking.



Truth was he was so glad that he had Sandy there to hold him and hug him that he could have shot himself for how he d treated her. She truly was the best woman he d ever known.

Son I really need to take your statement. The officer finally said gently as Adrian s tears began to subside.



Yea… that bastard kicked the hell out of him and he wasn t even defending himself. Adrian snarled. I hope you put him in jail. Before he attacked Zach he was calling him a fucking faggot and it s well known that he doesn t like gays.



I heard that Zach accused him of being gay himself? the officer said quietly.



Yea but I don t think Scott s really gay. Zach was hurt oh god I hurt him. Adrian began to cry again and Sandy wrapped her arms around him hugging him tightly.



He is gay. Alan walked through the door with a grim expression.



He was a slip of a man with almost girlish good looks a sweet humorous personality gentle nature and the brightest green eyes he d ever seen on anyone in his life. He was also one of Zach s closest friends.



The officer looked up surprised. He is gay… are you his boyfriend? he asked Alan gently and Alan pursed his lips.



Fuck toy. He corrected. The officer winced but nodded his head writing in his little book carefully.



He s afraid of what he is and he is very violent at times. I m not a very good character witness for him. Alan snorted coming up to wrap an arm around Adrian. He barely came to Adrian s chest but he had a strong soothing presence.



Thanks Alan. Adrian said trying hard to get himself under control. The two of them comforted Adrian as the officer finished taking the statement then told him that they would be holding Scott until Zach decided if he wanted to press charges.



When the officer finally left his friends ushered him over to the chair as they waited for Zach to come out of surgery. Alan went out and got him food while Sandy stayed by his side then Sandy went and got his overnight bag from his dorm room while Alan stayed and made sure he ate.



Tell me what happened. Alan said softly getting a warm wet washcloth as Adrian absently poked at his food with a fork.



I hurt him. Was all Adrian could force himself to say for a moment until Alan came up and began to clean his face gently with the washcloth. The gentle caring action had Adrian sobbing again and Alan just continued cleaning the dried blood from Adrian s hands gently.



We all hurt those we love. He whispered his eyes flashing with a slightly haunted look before he smiled gently. You had a lot to fear it s not really that uncommon what you went through. A lot of guys don t want to admit that they are really gay. It s hard you know? he said and Adrian nodded his head.



I know but he saw me tear up his note he saw me kiss Sandy. Adrian s voice shook. Alan simply stroked his hair back from his forehead.



I know Zach he ll forgive you. Especially when he hears how you proclaimed your love of him in front of everyone. He said smiling a little. You love him that s what counts. Now I want you to eat. I can t have you getting sick on me. He said softly smiling.



And Adrian did as he was told eating methodically but the food turned to ash in his mouth.



Adrian right? The doctor told me to let you know that the surgery was a success. He ll be brought back here after recovery. A pretty blonde nurse said smiling.



Adrian swept Alan into a huge hug and sighed a sigh of relief.



@@@@@@@@@@@



Pain. Zach woke slowly to pain lancing through his chest. Every breath he took came with a price and his head was so fogged he couldn t remember what had happened. He groaned softly one hand coming up to his head rubbing his eyes and when he finally managed to get his eyes open he saw an IV in his hand. Someone moved beside him and he tried to turn his head to look.



Don t move they said you d be hurting but that we needed you to wake up before they could give you any more pain killers. He picked up the hospital bed remote and pressed the call nurse button while Zach tried to gather his thoughts.



Why am I here?



Silence met the question for a moment then Adrian sighed deeply. You remember our night? he whispered and Zach nodded. And then the afternoon when you came to meet me by the oak tree? Sudden pain stuttered through his chest that had nothing to do with the surgery he d had to endure as the memory flooded him.



Please leave. Zach whispered voice broken suddenly. Tears seared his cheeks as he turned his head away.



Please Zach I m sorry. I got frightened and I hurt you and I m so sorry. Zach felt Adrian take his hand stroking his fingers gently and Zach didn t know how to react.



I don t want you anymore. You killed my love. He whispered and the sound Adrian made was like some wounded animal.



I won t leave you. He whispered through a sob.



I wish he d killed me.



Adrian groaned and Alan got up from his seat to rest a hand on his shoulder. He broke your ribs one of them punctured a lung. You could have died. He said gently.



I always told you he was an asshole. Zach said smiling a little as his eyes slid to his friend.



Yea I know. Alan said sighing deeply. He is definitely an asshole but he s an asshole I love. Zach groaned and it wasn t for pain.



Christ Alan he ll just hurt you.



I know. He whispered.



You don t want me to press charges do you?



Alan sighed pain in his eyes. I want you to leave him in Jail as long as you can without giving him years. He said with conviction and Zach nodded his head.



Zach could hear Adrian trying hard to smother his sobs. Tell him to leave Alan. He whispered softly.



I m afraid I can t do that. Alan murmured shaking his head slightly.



Why not? Zach replied as if Adrian wasn t there at all.



Because you belong with him. Alan said simply and Zach frowned. You do and you know it. Once you get over your hurt you ll know I m right.



I m pretty sure right now that you re wrong. He coughed and then groaned as the pain of it sent him clawing at his bed sheets. Adrian was gripping his hand in a moment giving him something to squeeze while the waves of pain coursed over him.



Damnit Alan go get a nurse and drag her in here by the hair if you have too. Adrian growled.



Alan nodded disappearing out of the door with a parting glance. I told you. He said sedately then went in search of a nurse.



Why are you doing this? Zach whispered wheezing a little.



Breath slowly love. Here he drew his hand away for a moment coming back with a small cup and a spoon sticking out. He spooned out some ice chips and put them up to Zach s lips. Open.



Zach was stunned by how incredibly loving Adrian was being how gentle and attentive he was. The ice chips tasted good in his hot mouth the cool liquid sliding down his throat and he found himself opening to another spoonful his eyes closing.



I hurt. He told Adrian who nodded his head and touched his forehead.



Alan s getting the nurse. I m going to make them give you morphine. He said as if he could control what drug they gave him. It almost made Zach smile. Almost.



Just then Alan came in with a nurse trailing behind him. She had a syringe full of some liquid and smiled down at him. You re friends here said you re in some pain. Is that right? she asked and when he nodded his head she patted him on the head. You re lucky to have friends like this who look out for you.



I m not his friend I m his boyfriend. Adrian said his eyes locked on Zach s face as he said it. She depressed the plunger on the syringe emptying the contents into the IV. Zach didn t argue with the words but something lit in his eyes like he might want to.



Aaw that s sweet you two boys experiencing young love. The elderly woman said wistfully And I m sure all of the girl s moon over you like dewy eyed virgins. She grinned going on to take his blood pressure and temperature before writing everything down and taking her leave.



Boyfriend huh? Earlier today you didn t even want to tell your friends. Zach said unable to keep the malice from his voice. Adrian felt so horrible about his behavior he couldn t muster up any words to explain himself.



He s since learned the error of his ways. The feminine voice coming from the doorway was Sandy Adrian s girlfriend and the sight of her alone made him want to cry. But tears would cost too much energy and hurt far too much to be worth it so he kept his agony inside though it showed easily enough on his face.



Don t worry we re not dating any more. She smiled as she came in and touched his hand How you feeling Zach?



Fine. He said warily and she chuckled with a shake of her head.



I want Adrian happy and that s not gonna be me in this lifetime so I am afraid it falls to you to forgive the dumb brute. She grinned and Zach sighed shaking his head.



I hurt I had surgery and you are all pleading his case before I can get up to piss on my own. Zach said gruffly and Adrian sighed his eyes filling with tears. Zach ignored it.



Valentines day is tomorrow Zach. Don t you think that it s a time for new love? Alan chuckled and when Zach glared at him Adrian sobbed and got to his feet shoving the cup of ice chips at Sandy before he fled the room.



He doesn t know what to tell you. She whispered to him He knows he fucked up. He hurt me too I was his shield from what he was Zach but it s you he s in love with. You should have heard him when you passed out. He screamed to everyone that you where his love he punched Scott he nearly killed the paramedic who said he couldn t go with you and when they let him in the ambulance with you he didn t leave your side until they took you to x-ray and surgery right after that. He has not gone home. Alan and I have been bringing him everything he has needed. Sandy said and Alan stood behind her his hands resting on her shoulders in a friendly manner.



Zach was sure they hadn t known one another before this but now they seemed like old friends something peculiar really. He blinked back tears thinking about Adrian admitting in front of everyone what they were together and tears misted his eyes.



So he was an idiot and panicked when he realized he d have to come out as gay. You were an idiot when you let Scott break your ribs. I think the two of you are even. Alan said succinctly arching an eyebrow and grinning.



I m not convinced. Just… I need some space okay? Maybe I could just sleep the night alone okay? Can you convince him to go home for the night? Zach asked.



I ll bring him back to my room. Alan said nodding his head. He needs sleep anyhow. He has been worrying about you none stop. Alan drew Sandy up but she paused.



You sure I couldn t stay with you Zach I really hesitate in leaving you alone at the hospital and I doubt that Adri would leave if he knew you wouldn t be with some one. She said the voice of logic and reason.



He hesitated and then closed his eyed briefly. I don t want to impose on you. He whispered focusing on drawing in a slow breath.



No imposition I have plenty of homework to finish you just go on sleeping and when you wake I ll have ice chips and meds okay? she asked and despite himself Zach found himself not only smiling but genuinely liking her.



Okay. Sandy said nodding her head and taking her seat once more.



I ll get him out of here but just this night Zach. Tomorrows Valentines Day I expect you to make up tomorrow. He growled playfully but Zach was not amused. I ll see you tomorrow Zach. Rest. And with that he disappeared out the door just as the medicine began to draw him into a restless sleep once more.



Rest well Zach. He heard Sandy say before darkness closed around him once more.



@@@@@@@@



The scent of flowers tickled Zach s nose and curiosity drew him out of the comforting embrace of unconsciousness. When he opened his eyes he blinked in utter surprise. Flowers covered every single flat surface of the room roses lilies and tulips – every flower imaginable littered counters and even overflowed onto the floor. He blinked again then noticed little boxes of valentine candies poured overflowing from between the flower vases there must have been a hundred boxes. He glanced around him and when his eyes landed on the figure in the chair beside his bed his heart contracted.



Adrian sat there his eyes shinning with love an oversized card in his hand. It was a huge heart the words Sometimes I m an ass. Written on the front of it. When Zach s lips twitched Adrian wordlessly opened the card exposing the inside which read: But isn t my ass your favorite part of my body? (Besides isn t making up the best part of having ass who loves you?) Be my Valentine being an ass is no fun alone. Then in flowing script he knew to be Adrian s the words I love you more then words could ever express forgive me and give me a chance to make it up to you. Yours always S.A.



Tears pricked at Zach s eyes and he blinked them away as he looked up at Adrian s somber face. He looked like he was getting ready to be rejected and the resigned sadness in his beautiful eyes plucked at Zach s heart.



You bought me all these flowers? He asked swallowing hard. He d never had anyone buy him flowers before. It made a strange warm feeling spread through his chest.



Adrian nodded his head silently his Adams apple bobbing as he swallowed hard.



Can I have a box of Candies? Zach whispered and Adrian reached over handing him one of the tiny boxes. He looked at it and on the box was written: To: Sexiest man alive. From: The Ass. Zach chuckled softly as he read it shaking his head as he opened the box pulling out a pink candy.



U R Cute. He tossed the candy at Adrian whose lips twitched. Zach pulled another candy out My love. He murmured softly then tossed it too at Adrian his eyes locked on the other mans face. He took out another one Soul Mate. He whispered liking his lips before tossing it at his lover hitting him in the chest. Adrian couldn t keep the smile from his face as Zach went about pelting him with cadies. The next Candy was green and when he pulled it out Zach smiled slowly holding it up Be mine? he said making it a question.



Adrian nodded silently trying to hold back the tears that threatened. He put the card down and reached forward to take Zach s hand in his own his fingers shaking as he stroked over the back of his hand.



Get into this bed with me. Zach growled roughly.



I won t fit. Adri blushed.



Yes you will just come over on this side it doesn t hurt as much. Zach told him shifting his larger form just enough so that Adrian was able to slip down onto his side one hand reaching out to adoringly touch Zach s jaw.



I love you. Adri whispered and Zach turned his head to nip Adrian s fingertips.



I love you too Adrian. He replied You re everything to me. He murmured.



Does this mean I m forgiven? Adrian whispered softly tilting his head down so he could gently brush his lips against Zach s.



Mmhmm after you make it up to me. He purred gently against those fluttering kisses Adrian kept bestowing on him.



What should I do then? he murmured then deepened the kiss before Zach had a chance to even respond.



Hold me. Zach whispered between the gentle kisses and the deeper ones. Just hold me.



And that s exactly what Adrian did.
