Is There Still A We?

(Day Two) The Things Adam Knows

Adam had just woke up from a short two hours of sleep. He just couldn't sleep knowing Lydia was down there with that monster. He also couldn't sleep knowing someone he had loved and cared for became that monster. He hadn't seen him in years and all of a sudden Laurence is urging to kill people? Laurence wasn't a murderer! Laurence was sometimes a little crazy but he was caring, kind and loveable. No one knew that more than Adam did.

Perhaps, this wasn't Laurence anymore.

Now he went by Beetlejuice, the ghost with the most.

But there was no time to think about that right now, he had to focus on Lydia. She was putting her life in danger just being around Beetlejuice! He knew she was responsible not to kill anyone like BJ had wanted, she was a smart girl. But she didn't know Beetlejuice, she had just met the guy so of course she wouldn't realize this. She wouldn't realize that one day Beetlejuice would snap and that would be the end of it. Lydia being forced to obey his every rule or else he'll do something even worse.

Adam hated thinking of this but he knew it was true. Laurence and Beetlejuice were both very unstable, needy people. Adam knew this.

Adam knew a lot of things.

He knew atleast 62 digits of Pi.

He knew everything about certain disorders.

He knew how to juggle.

He knew the basics of having a child.

He knew the life of Julie Andrews like the back of his hand!

And he knew that all of this was going to end in disaster.

But enough about that, he would get his mind clear one way or another. Adam looked to the side to see Barbara snoring softly, he smiled softly before standing up. A walk will have to do, even if he couldn't leave the house.

He left the attic, marching down the ladder, he was now in the dimly lit hall. He never dared to leave it knowing down there lived the demon himself. Barbara did once and she came back happy, but Adam wouldn't take a chance. Up here he would never have to even look Beetlejuice in the eye. He was safe, he was comfortable, and most of all he was completely alone.

"Adam!"

Or so he thought.

"Huh?" Adam mumbled, turning to see BJ smiling at him. Adam's eyes widened as he backed away only to have two arms wrap around him.

"Oh, I missed you buddy!" Beetlejuice exclaimed, squeezing Adam even tigher. Adam was very confused by this behavior, just two days ago he was being screeched at. Now Beetlejuice wanted a hug? What the hell?

"I- uh," Adam sighed. "I thought you were mad at me?" He spoke quietly, looking at BJ.

"Pfft- well yeah! You called me the L Word, A-Dog. I don't go by that anymore, you can't call me the L Word. Don't call me the L word." A flash of red appeared in Beetlejuice's hair as he let go of Adam. Adam felt a shudder crawl down his spine as BJ looked into his eyes.

"O-Okay.."

"But heh, if you want me to be angry. I can be really angry~" BJ cooed, getting closer to Adam as he caressed the taller boy's face.

"Please stop." Adam whispered, pushing away BJ' hand. "I don't want this."

"What are you talking about?" BJ raised an eyebrow. He rested an elbow on top of Adam's shoulder.

"It's not like we've never done this before."

"That was years ago!" Adam raised his voice, furrowing his eyebrows. "You can't just waltz back in my life and expect me to just make out with you!? Do you know how much I've been through all because of you?" Adam questioned, poking Beetlejuice in the chest. The ghost with the most held up his hands in defense.

"Woah, woah! No need to get into detail. Plus, who cares about all those years? I still remember a lot of things about you!" BJ's smiled turned into a sly smirk.

"I even remember your sensitive spot." He chuckled, applying pressure to a certain spot on Adam's neck. Adam froze in shock as he bit his lip, trying not to let anything escape his mouth.

"Beetlejuice." He warned, staring the demon in the eye. BJ's smirk simply grew as he leaned in to whisper in this nerd's ear.

"What are you going to do about it?" BJ sunk his teeth into Adam's neck. Adam gasped, grabbing onto BJ's shoulders. Beetlejuice grabbed onto Adam's waist, you have no idea how much he's wanted to have this sexy man!

"No. This isn't how it works!" He shoved Beetlejuice off of him. "You can't just do what you want with me. I'm a person! I have feelings! You never did this with me before, you were always so caring. Do you even know what the definition of consent is?"

"I bet you know." BJ crossed his arms, rolling his eyes.

"Of course I know. I know a lot when it comes to consent, and I know that you were amazing when it came to the topic of consent." Adam let out a warm smile as he walked towards his old mate.

"I know that you uhm, liked your hair being touched! I know that you were incredibly touched starved. Cuddles for days! I know that you would always ask me if I was comfortable before you tried anything, remember?" Adam beamed with joy as he laughed, BJ was a little nervous but he couldn't help but chuckle.

"Yeah.." Beetlejuice huffed as Adam continued to walk towards him.

"But most of all, I know that you loved me and I loved you." Adam softly grabbed BJ's face, leaning foward.

"A-And I think I still do, Laurence." He hesitated before connecting lips with the smaller man.

Beetlejuice had no idea what the hell was going on with himself. He had never let any kind of feeling in and now that this geek was back it was so complicated to be an ass. Sure, he had of course kissed so many different people but it was never like this. It had never felt like a vanilla sundae covered in chocolate syrup with the most beautiful kind of cherry on top. God that sounded cheesy, this needed to end.

Beetlejuice pulled away.

"I know what you're doing."

"Wha-"

"Don't play dumb! You're playing with my emotions but oh, it's not going to work! And what did I say about calling me Laurence, don't fucking do it! You don't like me at all you just want me to turn all happy so I'll leave and you can throw me back in the Netherworld! So you can go back to your dull life of wasting your time thinking about a dead baby! It's dead Adam, it's gone. Laurence is dead, he's gone. That baby and Laurence are never coming back so you might as well get used to me!"

"What the...hell is wrong with you?!" Adam shouted, tearing up a little bit.

"What the hell is wrong with you?! You've got not life! You've got absolutely nothing but Blondie and your life is so sad, Jesus Christ. Yeah Adam, you know so many things but you don't know jack shit about me." BJ growled as he crossed his arms. He closed his eyes and looked away from Adam.

"So do yourself a favor and fuck off."

Adam stared at the guy standing before him. He just turned away and went back to the attic ladder, beginning to climb it once more. He stopped for a second and looked at back at Beetlejuice.

"I miss Laurence, tell me when he does get the chance to come back."
