Demons of a Different Time (A Beetlejuice Highschool AU)

Chapter 10: You and I

-Adam's PoV-

Adam walked off the bus with his new... What was Beetlejuice to him? His friend? His boyfriend? His crush? Adam didn't know. And if he was being honest with himself he didn't really care.

He pushed the key into the lock and unlocked the door, as soon as the door shut behind him he turned towards Beetlejuice.

"So what-" his back bit the wood of the door as the older boy pinned him to it, his lips moving against Adam's. He was shocked but kissed back, going with it. He closed his eyes and his hands wrapped around the back of his lover's neck.

When Beetlejuice finally pulled away, Adam was out of breath. He watched Lawrence back off and smile at him. "Soooooo..." He hummed.

"I um-" Adam cut himself off, "so what do y-you want to do?"

"I have a few ideas," the other boy said with a wink but Adam cleared his throat and indicated for Lawrence to follow him to the living room. He walked over to his crib and grabbed a small towel, dusting it off.

"This is the crib I was telling you about," he smiled, "you can touch it, just be careful." Beetlejuice carefully laid a hand on top of it

"Looks nice," he commented and Adam's smile brightened.

"Thanks!" He chirped and grabbed the remote, turning on the tv, "now, about that dancing?"

"You were serious? Adam, I don't dance anymore."

"C'mon, you have to remember something!"

"I'll do it, but it'll cost you something."

"W-what do you mean?"

"If I dance for you, you have to let me try and teach you a few moves as well." Beetlejuice said with a smirk and Adam sighed.

"Fine," he said, "but I can't dance."

"Everyone can dance, you just need practice. Now help me move the crib and coffee table, I need room to work my magic." The two very carefully moved the furniture and Adam sat down on the couch.

"Nuh uh, you're stretching with me!"

"Stretching?" He questioned, getting up.

"Yes, before you dance you should always stretch! First we're just going to roll our shoulders. After that we'll touch out toes-"

"Is all this really necessary?" Adam interrupted and Beetlejuice turned to face him, hands on his hips.

"Who's the professional dancer?"

"I wouldn't say-"

"That's right! Me! So shut your pie hole and let me show you how to stretch!" Beetlejuice was acting like such a diva that Adam couldn't help but giggle. "Something funny Mr. Maitland?"

"You're acting like an actual dance teacher!" He laughed and Lawrence walked over and grasped his chin. He prepared for the kiss but nothing happened. He opened his eyes, confused and looked at BJ.

"You think this is funny?" Beetlejuice asked, "how'd you like to end up with a sprained ankle, because I can make that happen. Or even worse..."

"What?"

"Be tickled to death," Beetlejuice said and reached his hands towards him.

"You wouldn't dare!" Adam glared at him, taking a step away.

"Try me Maitland," BJ gave him a dangerous look. Adam considered his options.

"Uh huh, sure, I-" he was cut off by strong hands pushing him back against the couch and then Beetlejuice was on his lap and those hands were skimming under his shirt and very lightly grazing over his skin. He burst out laughing and started kicking his legs like he was a toddler.

"I wouldn't dare huh?" Beetlejuice teased and Adam pushed at his chest.

"S-s-stop!" He laughed, "s-stop! S-s-seriously Lawrence!"

"What? I can't hear you!"

"Q-quit it L-Lawrence!"

"Huh?"

"S-seriously!! L-Lawrence!"

Beetlejuice chuckled and got off, "are going to listen to my orders now?"

"You're not my master!" Adam laughed.

"What was that? Do you need another tickle session?"

"No Lawrence! Don't!"

"What's my name?"

"I'm not calling you daddy!"

"Why not?"

"It's weird!"

"You're weird!!"

"No! You're the weird one!" Adam giggled.

"Fine, I'm the weird one, you're the adorable one!" Beetlejuice told him and Adam blushed, crossing his arms.

"I'm not adorable!" He protested.

"You are too!"

"W-whatever! Just dance!" Adam insisted and turned on some random musical theatre music, he glanced at the title of the song, it was 'The Negative'.

"I can't just dance to any random song, play Sincerely Me!"

"What kind of song is that?"

"Just play it!"

Dear Evan Hansen, we've been way too out of touch!

Beetlejuice started dancing, his moves matched the music almost perfectly and Adam watched with a smile.

Things have been crazy and it sucks that we don't talk that much!

But I should tell you that I think of you each night!

I rub my nipples and start moaning with delight!

"What kind of music are you listening to??" Adam laughed and Beetlejuice glared at him.

"Oh, just shut up and watch!!" He exclaimed and continued dancing, soon the song was over and Beetlejuice was panting and sweating. Adam chuckled and smiled, "need some water?"

"Yes please," the other boy replied and slumped down on the couch. Adam walked to the kitchen and poured two glasses of water for them. He walked back to the living area and handed one to BJ. Adam chuckled as he drank 3/4 of the glass.

"Shut your mouth or I'll make you pant."

"I'd like to see you try," Adam teased but swallowed nervously as Beetlejuice raised an eyebrow.

"Is that a challenge?" He said.

"N-no," he answered and tried to look away but Beetlejuice grabbed his chin and kissed him. Adam sighed happily and kissed back. Beetlejuice pulled away with a smirk.

"Love you Adam," he said and pressed a kiss to his nose, making Adam blush deeply.

"I uh, I love you too Lawrence."
