Demons of a Different Time (A Beetlejuice Highschool AU)

Chapter 5: Date?

-Adam's PoV-

Adam sat on the bus headed home, Barbara was next to him talking to her friends. He was lost in thought at the moment. And it all revolved around Beetlejuice.

Beetlejuice, it was such a strange name, but Adam supposed it didn't matter since it was his middle name. Ever since Adam had met the boy, he had been flirting with him nonstop. Which really hadn't been too bad...

Damnit, was Adam really falling for the boy who was sexually harrassing- no not harrassing, sexually flirting- no that wasn't right either. It didn't matter. Whatever Lawrence was doing, it was working, somewhat.

Adam massaged his temples. He couldn't stop thinking about him, his piercing brown eyes, his spiked green hair, his sexual advances. Yes, that's what they were. Sexual advances.

Adam sighed, he should tell someone, but who? He couldn't tell Barbara, not yet, and he definitely couldn't tell BJ. The bus stopped at his stop and he got off the vehicle. He walked to his house quietly.

What was he going to do? He had a girlfriend. He shouldn't be feeling attracted to this... This strange boy. But at the moment Adam couldn't stop imagining Lawrence kissing him. He shouldn't be thinking about this but what else could he think about.

He needed to do something, and quick. Find a way to get rid of these feelings... Or do something about them.

-Beetlejuice's PoV-
Lawrence walked with Lydia but his mind was elsewhere... He was thinking about Adam.  What else was there to think about? His lips, his hair, his glasses, his ass.

He was intrigued with the boy, not like the usual flirt with everyone, it was something more. He enjoyed making the boy smile and laugh and especially blush.

Adam was a nerd at school it seemed but BJ didn't mind, this nerd was sexy and cute. He wanted to be close to him and he wanted to be more than a one night stand.

"Beetlejuice?" Lydia's voice made him jump.

"Huh? What?" He said and his best friend chucked.

"Thinking about Adam again?" She teased.

"And so what if I am?" He said in response.

"You meeting him again tonight?"

"Yes," he nodded, "hopefully he'll succumb to my charm today."

"Ask him out," Lydia insisted.

"Where?" He asked.

"The movies! That's always a fun first date!"

"Maybe, but he'll probably say no." He said with a sigh and Lydia laughed. "What?"

"You really are oblivious," she laughed.

"I am not!!" He said.

"Yes you are! Adam likes you too you idiot!"

"No he doesn't," Beetlejuice argued.

"You are so dumb!" She said and stopped as they reached her house, "bye Beej! Ask him out tonight!!"

He watched her walk inside before continuing walking. Maybe she was right. Maybe he should ask Adam out, he really did want to, but he was nervous to be rejected like he was with everyone else.

Maybe Adam did like him...

-Adam's PoV-
Adam knocked on the door of Beetlejuice's house and Lawrence opened the door, grining. "Come on in," he said with an overdramatic bow.  Adam smiled and walked in. Beetlejuice shut the door and lead him to his room.

Adam sat down on the floor and he caught Beetlejuice studying him from the corner of his eye as he turned on his computer. "So uh, how are you?" He asked.

"I'm good. And how's the sexiest man in the world doing?" Lawrence purred and of course, Adam blushed.

"I'm uh, I'm good." He said and scratched the back of his neck, "where's your mom?"

"At work," Beetlejuice said, "I'm sorry if she snapped at you, she hates everyone, especially me."

"I- I'm sorry." Adam said and the boy shrugged, "Hey Lawrence?"

"Yes Adam?" He turned to him and cocked his head curiously. Adam's mouth went dry and he completely forgot about what he was going to say. "Adam?"

"It's n-nothing," he murmured but Beetlejuice stared him down.

"Do you want to go to the movies with me Friday night?" The devilishly handsome boy asked, but this time there was no grin or smirk, just a tiny smile.

"I-" Adam blushed and stammered, "I-I-I'd love to."

"Wait really?" Beetlejuice said, his eyes widening.

"Yes, I- I want to go." He replied and then Lawrence had taken him in his arms in a hug. Adam froze but slowly hugged back.

"So my cheesy pick up lines worked huh?" The older boy said with a smirk. Adam felt himself caught in his stare and he cleared his throat, looking away.

"Maybe..." He said in response. They pulled away and once again Lawrence leaned forward towards him. Adam's leg shook as he prepared for the kiss but Beetlejuice didn't kiss him and instead whispered in his ear.

"Cutie," was all he said before pulling away and walking back to his computer. Adam was left standing there to try and calm himself. He took a deep breath and sat back down, bringing out his own computer and starting to type.

"I'll type up the intro if you start researching stuff," Adam suggested.

"Good idea," Beetlejuice told him and they worked for a while before the older boy stood up and stretched put his arms. Adam glanced over as his shirt lifted and holy shit- he had abs. Beetlejuice had abs.

Shit, Lawrence caught his eye and grinned. "What were you looking at?"

"N-nothing," Adam said.

"Liar," Beetlejuice laughed and sat back down, "I'll have you tell me later." Adam blinked a few times before turning back to his computer, he hoped Friday would either come soon or never.
