Darkness in the daylight

The past will haunt you

Adam's P.O.V (I'm just gunna say it now. If you don't like anything remotely related to gay people then skip this chapter. It won't affect anything with the rest of the story, some people just wanted to know what happened between Adam and Jackson so that's what this is about!)                                                           

~flashback to a few years after Layla and Alex got married~

"I hate you, you good for nothing cheater!" I screamed at Jackson, he had the biggest smirk on that stupidly handsome face of his. "I told you, Mario always beats Yoshi." He said shrugging and hitting the restart button on his Wii controller, I just huffed and tried for the fifth time to beat him at mariocart. This was his idea of a stay at home date night, I honestly loved the idea since it was different from the stereotypical movie and popcorn. I screamed and threw my remote at Jackson when Mario threw a green turtle shell at Yoshi and came in first place, "that was low and mean!" I hissed at him before falling back into my beanbag and glaring at the TV screen. Jackson just laughed at my pity party and pulled me into his lap, "sorry sweetie but you know that I'm the reigning champion at this game." He cooed hugging me with one arm and starting a one player game with his free hand. "How about you play something I can watch you lose at?" I huffed snuggling deeper into his chest and pulling out my phone. "How does CoD sound?" He asked turning off the Wii and powering up the Xbox, I quickly texted a few of Jackson's friends that he was about to play and most of them replied that they would play against him.

~Language warning!~

"You motherfuckers are working against me?!" Jackson screamed into his headset causing an eruption of laughter from all of his friends and myself. His character had just been sniped six times in a row, and he was beyond pissed. "Maybe you should give your boyfriend a break in Mariocart then." Nathan choked out between laughs. Jackson's eyes widened in realization of my trechery, I tried to escape his arms and make a run for it but I was too late. "So was you that put them up to this!" He yelled tossing aside his controller and starting to viciously tickle my sides, I was in tears and about to pee myself when he finally stopped with the tickle torture. "You sore loser" he huffed smiling before going back to his game and letting me catch my breath. "I hate you" I mumbled feeling my stomach muscles scream in pain, "sure you do" he said opening up his arms long enough for me to crawl back into them and lean against his chest. A few minutes later I was drifting into a sleeping state.

When I woke up I was laying on a warm chest with a blanket over me. Smiling I buried my nose in the crook of Jacksons neck and pulled the blanket more securely around us. "You awake now babe?" Jacksons sexy freakin morning voice rumbled from underneath me, his voice is thick and gravely in the morning and I love it. "Yeah, now I am..." He shifted causing me to roll off onto the bed at his side, his crazy bed hair and smiling face was the best thing I've ever seen. He pulled me close to his side and buried his face in my hair taking a deep breath. "I have a meeting Alex and the Russians later, you want to come?" I wrapped my arms around him " will Layla and Felipe be there?" He sat up and picked me up with him, "Layla will be there but Felipe is staying home with a couple of Alex's men." Jackson carried me to the bathroom and set me on my feet, we both went through the usual morning routines and quickly got dressed. We got to the garage and Jackson handed me into his new grey Porsche, it was his Christmas gift from Alex. When we arrived to the building where the meeting was supposed to happen it looked eerily empty.

"Are you sure we're not early?" I asked as he held the door for me, "don't worry sweetheart we're right on time~" he cooed making me a little more on edge. We walked into a darkened room and my adrenaline kicked in. "SURPRISE!!!!" The lights kicked on and all of our friends and family jumped out. "Happy Birthday baby!" Jackson yelled picking me up and spinning me around. It took me a moment to realize that today was in fact my birthday, I smiled and ran around giving everyone hugs. We talked, laughed, and played games. It was getting late when I heard Jackson's voice over the speaker system. "I have a speech I've prepared this evening for my wonderful boyfriend Adam. Adam, we've been together for quite a few years now and I think it's about time I grow a pair and ask you an important question...... Adam... Will you make me the happiest man alive by doing me the honor of being my amazing husband?" He came running up to me and got down on one knee and opened a small black ring box. Inside was a beautiful silver band with a black stone set in the center, it was so gorgeous I started to cry. "YES!!!" I screamed flinging myself at him and engulfed myself in his arms.

Our wedding was amazing, the color theme was white and mint green. Layla was obviously my maid of honor and Alex was Jackson's best man. Our vows were probably my favorite part though.

"I Jackson Pastel promise to you Adam Thomas that I will always comfort you. Never ignore you, always cook your favorite ziti that you adore. * he paused to laugh* And that no matter what.... I will love and protect you with every fiber of my soul, I want to spend every waking moment knowing that I am married to the most wonderful man in the world." There were a few tears that had gathered in his eyes.

*ahem* "Jackson... You came flying into my life and swept me off my feet and over your shoulder." I paused and smirked at the memory, "but even through thick and thin I have trusted you with my life until this point and I plan on trusting you until my last breath. You are my anchor and I will always wake up and know that I married the most amazing man in the world."

Those were the vows we exchanged, and everyone was crying. When it came to our first dance I had the perfect song picked out, as the song started Jackson's eyes lit up. ~I don't dance, but here I am! Spinning you round and round in circles, it ain't my style but here I am!~ and we danced the night away.
