the true mister young

Mr. Details

Still don't own anythin

Halfway through Episode Four Adam remembered he was also Echo's teacher. "What about your parents? WIll they be okay with you dating your teacher? Even if I am the same age as you..." he worried.

"Shouldn't you be worrying more about Tater?" she asked, concerned for his job. "Nah, I can handle him. Now about your parents?" he pushed.

"What do you want to know?" she asked looking slightly exasperated.

"What are they like? Are they strict or laidback? What is your mom's favorite flower and your dad's favorite athletic sports team? Also, Italian, Asian, or Greek?" he asked quickly without even thinking about it.

Echo's eyes widened for a moment but then she had to laugh inside. She should have expected this much from Adam at the first. Clearly he wanted to invite them over for dinner. Lucky him it was a Friday.

" I guess that they're somewhere in the middle really. I can't quite say. They arent strict because they let me keep Mr. Tickleschmootz and ...uh... Frankie. But not laidback either because i can't have a dog.  I don't know my mom's favorite flower, but mine is the iris. Dad doesn't really do sports at all.   My favorite dish is Greek and I guess that its theirs as well since that's what we eat most of the time. My favorite dish is Spanni Coppita and for the record my favoritest movie of all time is STAR WARS." she added in just for kicks.

Adam leaned back against the pillows behind him prscessing what he had learned. He patted the spot beside of him. "The joy of the believer, huh?" he asked as he turned the movie back on. (A/N the joy of the believer is what the iris stands for) Throughout the movie Adam and Echo talked about anything and everything they could think of until Echo got so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. eventually she found a nice niche in the crook of Adam's arm and she fell asleep there. Adam soon noticed and turned off the T.V. and lights. He also wen tto sleep after pressing a feather-light kiss to her forehead.

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

Adam awoke in the morning to the shocking flashes of cameras and cell phones taking pictures of him.

"Awh! Look they're spooning!"  that was Ivy.

"All that hair in my face would make me sneeze." commented Derby.

"HE probably likes it. Sniffs it like a creeper is my bet." offered Slab, the big jerk.

Adam rolled over, his arm still pined under Echo's shoulder.

"Please, don't." he asked groggily. "Echo's still sleeping, I think." he shifted his free hand to block the overhead light that someone had turned on. Ivy, Slab, Derby and even Rachel stood around his bed with cameras and cell phones out and ready to take more pictures if the need or opportunity arose.

"Hmmm? Adam what's going on? OH MY GOD YOUR MOM is in here." She blushed beet red adn relinquished Adam's slightly numb arm back to him.

"What ARE you doing in here?" asked Adam irritatedly.

"Taking pictures and putting them on every social media page I have obviously. OH! Derby you owe me five bucks. She asked him remember? AND another five cuz it isn't Christmas yet!" she explained like it was obvious. "Geez and he's supposed to be a genius" Rachel quipped.

Adam reached an arm under Echo's pillow causing more pictures to be taken. He cast her an apologetic glance and whispered  something in her ear. When he leaned back up he came with a remote with a big red button and no label.

"When I push this button," he announced as he stood up. "All camera and cell phone data will be erased. I've been prepping for this for a week after the last time i had my picture taken when I was asleep, so you can all blame this on Ivy and Derby as usual." he looked to his sister. "Do you really want to have to ask Hutch Anderson for his cell phone number again?" he knew that with that he had his sister trapped. Echo took a deep breath in and forgot almost to let it out. Since when had Adam been this cool? Did this sort of stuff happen to him at home often or did his inventions usually end up left untouched and unused? As usual Echo was curious. This Adam with her now, well, he was actually kind of hot. Adam's mom followed everyone out with a wry wink to Echo for some strange reason.

"Well, now that that crisis has passed I'm going to take a shower. Change while you have the chance."  she kissed his cheek and went into his private bathroom. It was painted dark blue with yellow fish on the walls. All of his toiletries and thing were lined neatly against the mirror. Echo knew how unordinary that was for a guy. She looked out of the window to see her grandma's house but what she saw instead nearly made her pee herself. Heedless that she was still in her p.j.'s and definitely forgetting that Adam was still changing as well she busted into his room. He was only wearing boxer's but she didn't care about that either.

"Adam, he's here." that was all she had to say, but he got the message. He pulled on pants and tosd her his bathrobe and pulled yesterday's shirt over his head and rushed out the door before anyone could have a chance to leave the house with Echo close on his heels. They ran downstairs together, where the others were eating breakfast and chatting.

"Stay in here. Don't move and don't talk loudly enough to be heard outside the door." he commanded

"Want me to come with asked Slab immediately understanding the situation.

"No, I've got it. Echo, no funny business none do not let him see you. Stay away from windows." he kissed her cheek adn stroked her hair, then wento outside, alone, to face down his father once more.
