When Sauli woke up next morning his head was banging. He had way to much to drink last night.

He carefully sat up and a sharp pain. He grabbed his head and rubbed it. It only made the pain sharper. He made his way to the bathroom to look for some painkillers. Aspirin would do fine. he thought.

He went back down to the kitchen to call Todd. If he even remembered him though.

He dialed Todd's number and waited kind of nervous if he'd answer or not. He'd gone trough the same thing with Adam. No! stop thinking about Adam!

"Hello?" He heard from his phone. Sauli jerked in his chair.

"Hey, it's me Sauli...from last night." He said nervously.

"Oh hey Sauli. I've been waiting for you to call!"

"Really? Well I was just wondering if you wanted to go for a coffee or something?"

"Yeah, what about I'll meet you on Starbucks in twenty minutes?" Todd suggested.

"Yeah, I'll be there!" Sauli said overly excited.

He went up to the bathroom to freshen up a bit. He took a quick shower and styled his hair. While picking out his jeans, he felt two arms sneak around his waist.

"Hey there." Adam whispered.

"Hi." Sauli said back trying to but his jeans on.

"Why don't you come back to bed?" Adam said holding tighter around Sauli's waist.

"I'm sorry, I'm busy." Sauli replied.

"What are you up to?" Adam asked letting go of his waist.

"Adam...sit down." Sauli said and pointed at the bed.

"Has someone died or something?" Adam asked in a serious voice.

"No, I..I think I'm ready to date again...I met a guy named Todd when I was out with my friends yesterday and I'm supposed to meet him in 10 minutes, I'm kind of in a hurry." Sauli exclaimed quickly.

A smile appeared on Adam's lips "That's great! I'm so happy for you!" He said and hugged him.

"That means our little thing has to stop though..." Sauli replied seriously.

"Sauli, I don't care..I-I mean it was really much fun, but I just want you to be happy."

"Thanks Adam, it means alot to me." Sauli said and stood up. "I need to go now."

"Wait..I know this is a little weird, but one last kiss, since you're probably marrying that guy?" Adam laughed.

"Okay, one last, but just one!" Sauli said and kissed Adam on the lips passionately. "I really got to go now, bye!" Sauli said and rushed out the door.

"Give me every little detail!" Adam shouted after him. Sauli laughed.

Actually Adam was kind of sad Sauli had met someone. He wanted him to be happy of course, but they had broken up two days ago and Sauli was already moving on. Maybe their relationship wasn't that special to him...

This feeling he knew way to well...Heartache, the worst feeling in the world. He sat in the couch with his head in his hands. This felt terrible. Well, there was only way to cure it: Ice cream and Californication!

He watched it almost the whole day until he fell asleep.

He woke up by his phone ringing. He jerked his head upward and answered cleaning his voice."Hello?"

"Hey, Adam...It's Sauli." Sauli whispered.

"Why are you whispering?" Adam asked.

"I don't want to wake Todd..."

"No! you did not! Oh my god, you just met him!"

"I know but one thing led to another and..." Sauli giggled.

"What is it?" Adam asked curiously.

"His hair is tickling me." Sauli giggled."Adam, I think I'm moving out sooner...cause yeah, I think you understand." He whispered.

"Yeah, I do...You can come pick up your stuff tomorrow? Bring Todd if you want to.." Adam said and hung up. He didn't know what to do, his world was crashing. He screamed and fell to the floor crying. He just laid there crying until he couldn't and realised it was dark outside. He went to the bathroom and took a long, warm shower before going to bed.

2 months later....

"What?...Sauli that's great!" Adam exclaimed hugging him.

"Yeah...I know it's a bit early, but I really have a good feeling." Sauli replied. "I'm really happy at the moment, and I'm so glad that I have you here to support me...Adam, you're my bestfriend." Sauli said smiling.

"And you're mine too, I'll always be here for you, you'll always be a big part of my life." Adam said back. It felt good to say that. Get it out of the system.

"Same with you, Adam. But I got to go...Todd and I are looking at houses." Sauli said and stood up.

"See you soon." Adam replied.

He was happy for Sauli, but he felt like he was this single, lonely guy and Sauli was moving on.
