*Adam P.O.V.*

I smiled and shook my head. ''Okay so your turn, how's life treating you?'' I asked him.

''Pretty great actually. I just got an offer for a spot as the host of a new talk show. The best part is it's back in Finland; I haven't been back there in a while so I'm really excited.'' He gushed.

He talked a little more about the job offer and how happy he was to finally leave the U.S., then -of course- after he said that he apologized and said he didn't mean it like that, he just missed his country. We both shared a laugh at that.

''I'm happy for you, really Sauli I am.'' I told him honestly. He smiled at me, his light blue eyes glowing as he stood up to give me a hug.

''Thank you, Adam. I appreciate it.'' He said once he was seated again. ''There's just one more thing about the job offer,'' He paused for a minute then sighed. ''I have to leave for it tomorrow, and I may be gone for more than a year and a half.'' He looked up at me and sadness over took his perfect facial features. ''I'm going to miss you,'' He said so low that I almost didn't hear him. ''I-I want you to know that I don't care about your personal life -that's your business now- but whether we're together or not I'm still going to miss you like that.''

I wanted to say something, anything really but I was momentarily speechless. He took over again quickly before the silence consumed us. ''At the end of the day Adam, I'm just really glad we're still friends.'' He said and his eyes became glassy. I reached over subconsciously, wiping the tear away before it could even fall.

''More than anything I'm grateful that your allowing me the chance to still be in your life, Sauli.'' I said to him. He smiled at me, a toothy grin showing off his brilliant white teeth.

We talked for a bit more, after a while -and quite frankly I'm a bit surprised we had this much time undisturbed- a few people came up to us and asked for pictures. When the bill came we sort of got into a 'let me pay because I want to' argument.

''Sauli, I'm paying for this. End of discussion.'' I told him, placing my hand over the bill.

''No ladies, bills on me. I feel like being a good person today.'' Isaacs voice flooded my ears before I could register that he had seated himself right next to Sauli and was staring angrily at me.

Fuck.

*Isaac P.O.V.*

I shoved my lackey as he continued to get lost in his phone. ''Dude, if I'm taking you on a pity date the least you could do is shower me with attention.'' I said annoyed. I wasn't exactly annoyed at him but just the fact that I knew he was on his phone checking to see if he had any messages from Adam.

''Okay this isn't a pity date, this is torture. Tell me again why we had to walk nearly a mile from the hotel to get food.'' He complained. I scoffed rolling my eyes.

''Don't try to change the subject.'' I warned. ''And besides, this restaurant has the best food in the city.'' I looked over to him and he had his phone to his ear. The little bastard wasn't even listening to me. I tried to smack his face but he blocked my hand skillfully as a frustrated sigh left his lips and he pulled the phone from his ear.

''Shit!'' He muttered shoving the phone into his pocket. I wiped the sympathetic look from my face before he turned to me. I knew he hated it when people felt sorry for him. ''Don't ask, please Isaac. I just want to go get food and crash back at the hotel.''

I nodded my head in understanding although it's not like I wasn't going to ask. I mean who would I be if I didn't? ''What'd he do? C'mon dude you know I'm going to be pissed at him if he hurts you. Just tell me TJ, I can see the sadness on your face.'' I stopped and stood in front him since the restaurant was literally right around the corner. I'd rather talk to him on the street so he'd feel less restricted to tell me everything.

''Um,'' He sighed running his hand through his hair before turning to me. ''It's not exactly- well he didn't...dammit Isaac I don't know!'' He yelled in frustration. I gave him a minute to calm down before I asked again more subtle this time. ''He-We were suppose to hangout tonight, and it wouldn't have been a big deal if he would have told me that he didn't want to.

But when we got to the hotel I couldn't find him, and he hasn't been answering my text or calls. Don't look at me like that Isaac, I'm not a chick. I'm just confused and worried. I'm starting to think this was a mistake.'' He whispered the last part. I let a huff of air leave my lips before I pulled him into a hug.

''You totally sound like a chick.'' I laughed. ''But I get it, dude. It sucks to be stood up. Don't worry though, he's probably at the studio. You already know how Adam is, he likes to seclude himself sometimes.'' I assured him. Even though I didn't believe a word that left my lips.

Even if he was at the studio if TJ had called he would've answered. I released him from the hug and lightly smacked his face a few times. ''Now c'mon pretty boy, I'm starving.''

We walked into the restaurant and I went to get us a table. ''Can we just get a booth?'' I asked the hostess. As she started to scribble something in the check-in book, I glanced back at TJ to find him still staring worriedly at the screen of his phone. I sighed taking my eyes off him to let them roam my surroundings.

My breath got caught in my throat as I noticed two people at a table in the far back. That fucking asshole! I turned around to face TJ immediately, trying my best to block the view. ''You know what, I don't really have that much of an appetite for this anymore.

We can just go crash at the hotel and order pizza or get take-out.'' I suggested trying to discretely push him out of the door.

He pushed me off of him and smacked me in the back of the head. ''As if. I just walked my legs off for you, we're gonna stay here and eat.'' He turned to the waitress who had just walked up to us.

''This way, please.'' She said kindly gesturing her hand out in the direction we needed to walk. TJ grabbed hold of my arm and pulled me along. With every step we took we got closer to them and I kept trying to pry from his grip from my arm or get him to change his mind but he wouldn't go for it.

His hand fell from mine and I bumped into him as I failed to stop on time, feeling his entire body go placid as he took in the scene. ''Shit.'' I muttered quietly. He turned to me, his features completely stoic as he nodded his head towards the door.

''Your right, take out sounds perfect.'' He said with a toneless voice. I sighed bringing my hand up to run over my face as anger suddenly filled me.

''I'll meet you outside, just give me a minute.'' I told him. I tried to turn away but his hand caught my wrist pulling me back.

''Isaac please don't--''

''I won't. I'm not going to do anything stupid except go over there and tell my boss how much of an asshole he is. Now go.'' I said. Reluctantly he released my wrist from his grip and turned to leave.

I headed over to their table, trying to remind myself to control my anger a bit because he was my boss. Not that I cared much right now; TJ is like a brother to me, and boss or not I'll never let Adam fuck over him.

''Sauli, I'm paying for this. End of discussion.'' Adam said. I swiftly took a seat and pull it to the table as I sat down on it resting my arms on the chair.

''No ladies, bills on me. I feel like being a good person today.'' I said, catching both Sauli and Adam by surprise as he looked up at me in such shock that I couldn't help but let the anger flood my features.

''Uh-''

''Your the drummer right? Isaac Carpenter?'' Sauli asked in confusion. He held his hand out for me to shake. Now for a moment of honesty, I'd like to admit that I have nothing against him. Aye, before Adam started to date TJ he was my favorite one of Adam's boyfriends. But right now, at this very moment I wasn't liking him too much.

''Yeah, blondie. I'm Isaac.'' I responded, turning my full attention to Adam. ''Hey, Adam aren't you suppose to be somewhere else right now?'' I asked with false curiosity in my voice.

''Did you cancel something to come here for me? Adam, I told you it would've been okay if you couldn't make it.'' Sauli said. He turned to me, giving a small smile. ''I'm sorry it's my fault if he missed a band meeting or something.'' He apologized. I smiled back glancing at Adam.

''Oh no it wasn't anything like that. This was something much more important.'' I looked at Adam seriously. ''Something personal.''

Everyone was quiet for a minute. ''Sauli, I told you that it wasn't a problem for me to meet you. I owed you that- I owe you more than that actually and I was already a bad boyfriend, I'm not going to be a shitty friend to you. It was nice to see you again, and I hope you have a great adventure with your career.'' Adam took his wallet out, placing money on the table before he and Sauli both stood up.

He walked over to him, embracing blondie in a tight hug before he placed a kiss to his temple. ''Thank you, Adam. All the best to you as well.'' Sauli said, before he walked away. Adam looked at me and shook his head.

''Where's Tommy?'' He asked me, concern lacing his voice in everyway. I scoffed at him.

''Probably regretting the day he ever auditioned for you.'' I muttered under my breath. I could see the flashes of anger and hurt that crossed his face.

''Control yourself.'' He said sternly. ''I know what this must have looked like to you, but it was only diner with a friend. Nothing more, Isaac. I'd never hurt Tommy like that.''

I knew he was telling the truth but it didn't change the fact that he stood TJ up. I don't care if TJ forgives him for this but I never will. It was wrong; the whole entire scene was wrong.

''I don't think you really understand the full effect of what this looks like, Adam. Standing up your boyfriend to have diner with your ex-boyfriend, I'm pretty sure that'd look a bit sketchy to anyone.'' I told him. He looked at me confused for a moment, before the realization and guilt spread across his face.

''I didn't mean to stand Tommy up. I-I forgot about our plans.'' He said the last part to his self rather than me. I laughed, getting up from the chair.

''You know what? I don't really care. I just want you to know that if you ever make TJ feel the way he does tonight, he's not going to be yours anymore Adam. I mean that. There's no use in you liking him and him liking you if your just going to end up hurting him. And I don't like it when my lackeys hurt.''

*Tommy P.O.V.*

I shouldn't have let Isaac go over there. I should've just forced him to leave with me then we'd both be back at the hotel right now and the images of what I had just seen wouldn't be sending my brain into over drive.

He wasn't cheating on me. I knew that before the thought even entered my mind. Adam is to good of a person to do that to anyone. But seeing him there with Sauli... it made me feel bad, I mean they looked so perfect and happy together.

It doesn't matter if they're not together; the chemistry is still there. And it doesn't matter if Adam doesn't want to be with him like that anymore; the chemistry is still there.

They have two years of memories and all we have is a month of cautious affection. Him fearing he's going to push me to far and me hoping he feels for me what I'm starting to feel for him.

''Tommy?'' An unmistakable accented voice called, pulling me from my thoughts. I turned to see Sauli leaving the restaurant, he came up to me and for some reason I immediately took a step back.

I mean he didn't have a bucket of ice in his hands this time, but after feeling your entire body go numb with coldness you learn to be alert. ''I've been meaning to apologize to you. The way I acted, how I treated you the last time we saw each other was unnecessary and cruel. Please forgive me.''

''It's okay. I never blamed you anyway. I know I'd probably raise hell too if Adam kissed another guy.'' I didn't mean for that to come out the way it did. I already felt like crap that my kiss with Adam broke them up but I know it might be even worse for Sauli if he know we're dating so soon.

''He would never do that to you.'' Sauli said sincerely before I could try to fix my words. ''I know he cares about you too much to ever hurt you. And if we're being completely honest, I'm happy that you and Adam are together. As long as he's happy. Besides, you two make a cute couple.'' Sauli admitted, smiling at me.

''When did you find out?'' I asked surprised.

''A few weeks ago, I actually have to go. My flight is due in an hour, but were okay, right?'' He asked looking worried.

''If your okay with me, I'm okay with you.'' I offered. He smiled nodding his head as I met him halfway for a hug. He left and I leaned my shoulder against the bricks of the wall waiting on Isaac.

By the time that the realization that Adam would be coming out as well dawned on me I was being enveloped in strong arms and pulled into a familiar chest from behind. ''Adam.'' I breath out his name.

''I screwed up.'' He whispered into my ear. ''I'm sorry.'' He said releasing me from his hold. I turned to face him. I saw everything I wanted to see in his beautiful hazel blue eyes. But there was just one problem...I didn't understand.

I didn't understand why he didn't tell me. I didn't understand why I was feeling like I wasn't good enough for him; like if I was good enough then he wouldn't have hesitated to just tell me.

I don't understand.

''I'm not mad at you for not telling me, Adam.'' I admitted after a while of silence. ''I mean I can never be mad at you.'' I added quickly. I felt his hand gently brush over my cheek. I couldn't help but lean into his comforting touch.

I forced myself to take a step back and stay focused. ''I just wish you would have trusted me to trust you. Because I do trust you, Adam.'' I sighed as I avoided making eye contact with him. I didn't want to see the look in his eyes. I already felt bad enough.

''I just think-Maybe-maybe it would be better if we don't talk for a few days. Just until I- I just need to figure out how I feel. Adam I can't handle my feelings-Its so confusi--'' At this point I was stumbling over my words and sobs were slipping free every other second as tears flowed from my eyes. Adam pulled me into his arms, enveloping me in a tight caring hug.

''It's okay, I understand baby. I'm sorry.'' He said to me. I hugged onto him so tightly I'm surprised he was able to breath. I felt a hand on my shoulder.

''C'mon, TJ. We're leaving, now.'' Isaac said, dropping his hand from my shoulder. I pulled back a bit and stared into Adams eyes. I could see the tears in them threatening to pool over.

I leaned up and kissed his soft waiting lips before leaving his embrace. Isaac draped his arm over my shoulder sending Adam a weird glance before pulling me close to him as we walked away.

I just need time to think. I've never felt like this in a relationship before. I feel so vulnerable. I feel like my emotions are all jumbled up in a bag. I can barely even talk when I need to explain my thoughts. I feel so lost but at the same time I know I'm safe. I feel--

''Oh my god.'' I whispered lowly to myself.

I feel like I'm in love.
