Fall

chapter eleven

Adam pulled Samandriel's body onto the shore, clutching him tightly as he searched for a heartbeat. There was nothing...no drumming against his fingers, no beat.

Until he felt it. That faint beat against his fingers. He put his hand on Samandriel's chest, feeling a slight rise and fall of it.

He felt tears of joy invade his blue eyes. He buried his face into Samandriel's neck, hugging him tightly.

"Next time you do that to me, I'll punch you in the face you shit. God, you scared me," he mumbled against Samandriel's wet skin, before picking him up bridal style and putting him inside Adam's car.

He made sure Samandriel was in warm, dry clothes, before laying him on Adam's bed and snuggling up to him. He should wake up soon.

Four hours. It took Samandriel four hours to wake up.

"Adam?" Samandriel mumbled, before turning to look at the boy behind him. Adam smiled brightly, tugging Samandriel tightly to his chest.

"You scared me, you asshole. I thought I'd lost you," Adam mumbled, burying his face into Samandriel's hair.

"Please don't start singing 'I Thought I'd Lost You' from Bolt," Samandriel muttered and Adam found a way to laugh through his tears.

"I love you so much," Adam whispered as he ran his fingers through Samandriel's soft hair.

"I love you too," Samandriel smiled, looking up at Adam.

"Let me show you," Adam said, tangling his fingers with Samandriel's. "Let me show you how much I love you."

"Okay," Samandriel whispered.

"Are you okay with it?"

"I'm more than okay with it," Samandriel agreed, smiling up at Adam. "If you're okay with it..."

"I am."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes. I love you, Sammie..."

"I love you too."

Adam leaned down and softly kissed Samandriel, cradling his face in his hands gently.

"You're gonna have to do a little more than that to get things started," Samandriel mumbled against Adam's lips. Adam smiled, before sitting up, pulling Samandriel into his lap as he began to nibble Samandriel's bottom lip.

Samandriel tangled his fingers in Adam's hair, pulling him as close to him as possible.

Adam pulled his lips from Samandriel's, before slowly kissing up and down Samandriel's neck, seeing if Samandriel was comfortable with it.

"More," Samandriel whimpered and Adam pressed harder kisses, nibbling and nipping at Samandriel's exposed neck.

Adam laid Samandriel back onto the mattress, kissing him deeply.

"I love you," he murmured against Samandriel's lips.

"I love you too," Samandriel moaned, letting the feeling of Adam against him take over.

Samandriel woke up, his back against Adam's chest, Adam's arm draped loosely over his waist.

"We always wake up like this," he mumbled to himself, playing with Adam's hand. He sighed and turned around, seeing Adam's blonde hair sticking up in all different directions, courtesy to Samandriel from last night. "God, I love you so much..." he muttered, running a finger down Adam's jaw line. There were a few hickeys there and Samandriel sighed. "If Ellen sees those, she'll throw a bitchfit."
