A Shadow of the Past Part Seven

Disclaimers: I do not own a real life music band. This is fiction, never happened.


The Story:

Jade looked at Davey, then broke out in giggles again. Davey tried to stifle his but succeeded only in a choking snort, making Jade laugh even more.

Blushing furiously, Davey rolled on his back and hid beneath his arms. Jade saw this and stopped laughing. Very solemnly, he crawled across the bed until he straddled Davey�s mid section. He grabbed each wrist and pulled back until he was looking at Davey�s pink face. Jade smiled and wagged his eyebrows up and down. Davey sealed his lips closed but his glittering eyes and twitching smile gave his laughter away.

�Oh,� Jade gave Davey a slanted look, �so I see you need a little persuasion!� He began leaning forward, eyes locked on Davey�s.

Davey saw this and grew still. He had to admit, the look Adam�s friend was giving him was quite a turn on. He was glad he was already blushing because he was definitely heating up.

Jade was closer now, so close he could make out the individual eyelashes of Davey�s eyes. But he didn�t stop. No, not until he felt Davey shift uneasily underneath him. Not until he saw Davey�s thin lips part slightly to suck in a quick breathe. . . Not until then did Jade suddenly stop and quick as lightning, swung back to attack Davey�s exposed abdomen with his mouth.

Davey shrieked and instinctively bucked upward sharply. But none of this deterred Jade who now moved to the other side of his stomach, laughing also.

�Whaa!!� Davey screamed, �Jade! Stop! Ha ha ha! Stop! Aaah! No!�

�Yes!� Jade said, sitting up to gloat down at Davey. �I am the great and powerful, sneaky ninja who has captured you, o� fair maiden!� he paused. �Well. . . dark, goth-boy!�

Davey laughed and tried pulling his hands free with little success. Jade was now moving his roaming mouth up along Davey�s sides, coming so close to his neck. . .

Davey�s laughter and Jade�s movement immediately cut off at the knock on the door. �What?� Jade demanded, somewhat breathlessly.

�Just wondering,� Adam said carefully through his own bedroom door, �if Davey gave any thought to that audition we were supposed to do today.�

Jade looked down to see Davey�s eyes grow slightly wide. Jade smirked at him and answered Adam, �yeah! Don�t worry, Adam! We�re working on it! We�re going over the songs right now!�

�Oh, are you?� Adam sounded curious.

�Yeah, so no sweat, homie.� Jade released Davey only to throw up obscure gang signs at the door, making Davey quietly chuckle behind both hands.

�Oh, well, I guess I shouldn�t worry then, eh?� Adam went on. �For a second there, I thought you two were playing patty-cake or something. But if you�re actually practicing, then that�s great. But I just want to know one thing, Jade.�

Jade, who was now trying to pry Davey�s hands back again, said absentmindedly, �yeah, what�s that?�

�How can you practice,� Adam said slowly, menacingly, �when I�ve got your notebook right here?� At this, both Jade and Davey froze.

Jade gave a low laugh and jumped up. He opened the door and saw Adam glaring at him, holding up the green notebook with the holographic sticker of the hula dancer taped to the corner.

�Gee, thanks, Adam!� Jade gave him a salute with the notebook then closed the door again. He leaned with his back against the door and looked at Davey now sitting up. There was a pause and they both broke out laughing, the tears of mirth escaping from Davey�s eye crinkles.

****************************

Adam let Jade snatch the book away from him and shut the door. He waited and heard their laughter. Hn.

Jade was getting a little too close to his Davey, wasn�t he? Rather than admit that he was jealous, Adam glared once more at the door to his own bedroom and stalked off, unhealthy thoughts formulating in his mind.

**************************************************************

After nearly two hours of simply tickling, wrestling, poking, and caressing absentmindedly, Jade and Davey finally opened Jade�s notebook at the third hour. Davey silently gazed at one page after another.

�You�re the shit, Jade.� Davey said softly, nodding.

Jade smiled and blushed. �Yeah?� they sat side by side, Jade clutching one of Adam�s pillows to him as he watched Davey read.

�Yeah.� Davey gave him an eye roll and stern look. �You�re the shit! You write very well! Almost too well for these songs!�

Jade frowned. �What do you mean?�

Davey flipped back a few pages and displayed them for his new friend. �See these? They�re all about things you did as a teenager. Great. Maybe you even still skate. Heck, if I had my board with me now, I�d definitely scrape some gravel. But. . . I don�t know. Maybe if you. . .�

�No, go on.� Jade urged him, waiting for the response he knew was coming. He wasn�t disappointed.

�Maybe if you matured it a little,� Davey said, pulling his hair back behind his ears. �You know? Like, have more meaning to the story you�re trying to say.�

�You. . .� Jade swallowed hard, �you know what Playa Life is about?� his voice was soft and almost child-like.

Davey smiled assuredly. �It�s so clear, Jade. You have it in the third, fifth, and twelfth lines. ��Goin� red in the night� and �faster, baby, faster�, and �death at the green light�. . . they all spell out one thing.� Davey smirked. �This is about your car.�

Jade light up in a brilliant grin. �Yeah! It is! Damn, you�re freakin� awesome! Hunter and Adam never got it! They thought I was talking about this hooker down near the strip. Shit! That�s freakin� A! Another one! Tell me about another one!�

Davey smiled and nodded absently. He turned a few pages and came across a song called �Misery of the Loner�. He read this and froze. Jade couldn�t see what he was reading but he still had his warm smile.

After a few moments, Davey closed the book and looked up at Jade. �Man, you are so awesome. You are like. . . I love you.� Davey said simply, then hugged Jade.

Caught unprepared, Jade simply sat there a moment, before hugging back. �What. . . what did you read?� Jade asked, speaking into Davey�s black hair.

�Misery of the Loner.� Davey said. Jade couldn�t stop the gasp that escaped his mouth. He pulled back and stared in shock at Davey. �Th-that�s. . .� he looked at Davey questioningly.

Davey nodded and smiled gently. �Yeah, I know. It�s about you loving my Adam. About you two having sex in the back seat of your car. That really happen?�

Jade looked around frantically until he was sure they were still alone. His eyes looked about wide and full of fear. �Shit! God, you. . . oh, god, please don�t tell him! Please don�t tell him! Dammit!� he breathed deeply and clutched his notebook to him. �Shit, Davey, I didn�t mean for you to see that. That�s not part of the line up. I wrote it as a song, but I never shared it with the others.�

�Did it happen?� Davey asked again. Jade looked up in a panic, but what he saw in Davey�s eyes gave his heart a jolt, for the wrong reasons. Davey�s expression was calm and detached, almost expectant. He looked like he was expecting something like this to pop up sooner or later. He was expecting to find Adam romantically involved with someone already, even though he was madly in love with him. He was willing to share his love. . . just so long as he could love him. . .

Jade grew calm like Davey. He cleared his throat, then shook his head. �No, it. . . never happened. It was a dream I had once. It was. . . well, it was vivid. VERY vivid. You know, those type of dreams you have that are just so clear that you�re stuck with them for days after, just thinking them over and over in your head? Well, I had to write that one down so I wouldn�t forget it.�

Davey looked at him carefully and smiled. �Yeah, I write down all of mine, too.�  He paused, then looked at Jade shyly. �You know, if it did happen, or, you know, if you ever wanted to. . . you know, I wouldn�t stop you or anything.�

Jade grabbed his hand in both of his and smiled sadly. �I know. But I won�t. Ever.� Davey looked up in surprise. He saw Jade�s expression and smiled gratefully.

�Thank you.� Davey said quietly. And because Jade always felt uneasy under his steady, soul searching gaze, Jade looked away first.

�Well!� he looked down at his notebook. �You wanna go over some more? I think I could use your advice on some.�

Davey scooted closer to him. �Good. I�ve already got some ideas.� he paused, then took off his shirt. �Sorry. I�m still kind of hot from earlier.�

Jade�s eyes roamed from tattoo to tattoo and across the chest, checking out. . . everything. Davey tinged pink but Jade frowned. �Hey! No fair! I wanna look good naked, too!� Jade then took off his shirt and tossed it across the room. He proceeded to strike muscle-man poses while Davey laughed.

�You dare laugh at my awesome manliness?� Jade asked, voice unusually deep for effect. �Does not my sculpted body make you. . . horny??�

�Ha ha!� Davey pounced on Jade, �yes, it does! I�m a horny beast now that I have seen your sex!�

Jade, not to be out done, tackled Davey backward and tumbled off the bed, their legs getting caught in the blanket and taking it with them. They landed painfully on the floor, tangled in the cover, with Davey beneath Jade. �Then scream my name!�

Davey grinned and moaned seductively, �Oh, Jade!�

Jade immediately froze. He looked down at Davey in surprise. �Wow. That was hot!� he smiled. �Go on! Do it again!�

Davey laughed and blushed, but consented. �Oh, oh, Jade, oh, yeah.� He moaned low and slowly, playfully arching upward. His mistake. Jade caught his breathe. Davey felt it too and smiled.

�Ha!� Davey said. �I think someone�s happy!�

�Can you blame me?� Jade smirked down at him. He contracted his stomach muscles and rubbed against Davey. Now Jade smiled at Davey�s reaction. �Now we�re both even.� Davey looked up into Jade�s mesmerizing eyes but couldn�t say a word.

�No,� a voice answered for them, �you�re not even. You�re dead.� they looked up and saw Adam standing in the door way, arms crossed and glaring.

Jade and Davey looked from him to how they were. The blanket wrapped around them hid their jeans and made it look like they were. . . Damn. Jade grinned and looked up at Adam. �H-hey, Adam. Uh, how�s it going?� Adam didn�t say anything but started forward.

Davey�s eyes went wide as he hurried to unwrap the blanket around them. �Hurry, Jade! Run!� They got Jade free just in time for him to slip free of Adam�s reach.

�Come back here you little shit!� Adam cried out, running after him. Davey sighed and followed as well.

************************************************************

Later that night, ten to be exact, the four of them met in the garage. They were on an unspoken truce only because Jade relented and let Adam punch him once in the face. Adam in turn decided to believe Davey and Jade�s story about the whole incident being innocent.

�Yeah, okay.� Hunter waved their bantering and arguments aside. �Now, what are you going to sing for us?� he asked Davey.

Davey dug into his bag and pulled out a cd case. He flipped through and pulled out a cd. They all recognized it. �The Cure? Bitchin�!� Hunter said. They watched Davey set the stereo up.

As the cd began turning, Davey looked around in embarrassment. �Uhm. . . since this is just the audition, uhm. . .�

But Adam smiled. �Yeah, sure. Go ahead.� Hunter and Jade looked at Adam in confusion but he simply watched Davey. He rummaged in his bag a few minutes. The song began.

Just as the first verse of �Love Song� came on, Davey turned around and began singing higher than the stereo. Both his eyes were shut against everything that might distract him, and in one fist he clutched his hair brush.

Hunter broke out in chuckles but the song and Davey�s voice drowned him out. Even Jade had to grin at the cute vision Davey was invoking. He sang with energy, with force, with drive. This surprised them all since they had heard his normal speaking tone in everyday conversation and it had sounded weak and shy.

As the song ended, Davey opened his eyes and looked at his three judges.  They were already off to the side, heads close in serious conversation. They were too far away for him to hear and Adam�s mind was closed off to him at the moment.

Just as he pressed the stop button on the stereo, the three turned back to Davey. Adam spoke first. �Er, Davey, we�re not too sure. You mind singing one more song?�

Davey quelled his trembling and smiled softly. �Sure. Okay.� He turned the stereo back on.

******************

It turned out he sang a total of six songs before he quit. �Look,� Davey said in the middle of the seventh song, �this is taking freakin� forever! I like The Police, sure, but do I have to keep singing these songs? Can�t you make up your minds?�

At this, Adam, Hunter and Jade looked at each other with straight faces. A second or two passed and they burst out with laughter. Davey looked from one to the other in confusion. �What?� He asked quietly, shutting off the stereo.

Adam, face pink with exertion, smiled up at Davey. �Sorry, man, we already decided you�d be our singer. We knew that since the first song.�

�Yeah?� Davey grinned widely, then paused. He frowned. �Then why the hell did you make me sing all those songs for?�

Jade drew deep breathes while Hunter and Adam started with fresh laughter. �We just wanted to see how much you�d sing for us.� He grinned boyishly. If he hadn�t smiled like this for him, Davey was sure he�d be more pissed than he was now.

Instead of running over to the three and clocking them on their heads with his hair brush, Davey decided to let it pass. He smiled and shook his head. Well, this was what he wanted, right? To be in a band? He�d have to get used to things like this.

He was in a band. Davey thought this again and couldn�t help breaking out in a huge grin and joining in on the laughter. He was in a freakin� band!!!!

***************************************************

They celebrated that night with a case of beer and take-out. Jade left before the drink was even opened, however, stating that he had somewhere to be. Davey felt sad at this, but neither Adam nor Hunter put up any fuss about it.

�He does that,� Adam said when Davey asked him. Jade�s car could be heard tearing down the street. �Doesn�t like to drink, I think. Goes off and does. . . stuff. He�ll be back tomorrow, Dave. Don�t worry about him.�

�Yeah, okay.� Davey nodded but continued to frown thoughtfully. If Jade didn�t drink, he should have told Davey. Then at least he wouldn�t be the only one sober.

�Here you go, Davey.� Hunter told him, handing him an open bottle of bud light.

Davey smiled at him and held up a hand. �Oh, no thank you. I don�t drink.�

Hunter�s eyes went wide in surprise. �You don�t? Shit! You don�t eat meat, you don�t drink. . . what are you torturing yourself for? A man�s gotta live!� he took the open bottle with him as he sat back down.

Davey smiled faintly but his eyes told how seriously pissed he was. �I�m not torturing myself, Hunter. I�m freeing myself.� he picked up his orange juice and took a sip, letting his eyes bore into Hunter.

Hunter felt the power of this gaze and his the tremor running through his body. Wow. Davey was. . . something. Wasn�t he? For the rest of the night, Hunter avoided any chance of catching a glimpse of that gaze again. It was making him feel. . . something. Something so big, he couldn�t exactly put his finger on it. He had this feeling that given enough time, Davey would show him just what that �big thing� was. And he didn�t think it had anything sexual to do with it.

**************************************************************

It was six am and the sun was up and gently pouring in through the blinds. Davey spent most of the night cleaning up the mess from Hunter�s and Adam�s celebration, and then their �games�. How anyone could get peanut butter on the ceiling was beyond him.

He slept for a few hours, then gave in to his restlessness. He had enough of waiting. It was now or never.

He slipped soundlessly into the room and quietly shut the door behind him. He took a few minutes to take in the sight before him. His best friend�s half-naked body lay tangled with the bed sheet, exposing pale, warm flesh every other space. A slow, unconscious grin formed on his thin lips. His lip ring�s cold metal warming to the heat of his mouth. His mouth. Davey was surprised to feel himself salivating as he watched Adam sleep. He was such a pervert! This he teased himself, then started forward.

He was prepared only slightly. His shoes he left outside so as to make less noise as possible. He left his boxers in his bag this morning. He hadn�t been certain this would happen, just hopeful. The only things he brought along with him were the two objects in his jogging pants pocket. He reached in briefly to make sure they were there, then removed his hand. He didn�t want to think about all that just yet. That would come after. Right now was time for the fun. Right now was the foreplay.

Slowly, Davey crawled on hands and knees across the bed to the center where Adam lay sprawled asleep still. His movement went unregistered. As he moved to Adam�s side, Davey took the time to gather his dark tresses and secure them behind his head in a ponytail. This done, he lay his body parallel to Adam�s, making sure not to lean on him. He propped himself up on his right elbow, then reached over with his left hand. His thin fingertips slowly ran across Adam�s back, gently caressing the tan-less flesh. Adam made no reaction until Davey�s fingers tugged slightly at the sheet, exposing more skin. Adam, still deeply asleep, instinctively rolled onto his back, freeing the sheet from it�s insistence. Davey smiled, thinking how cute Adam was when he slept.

Davey let his fingers pull the sheet further away, going as far as Adam�s stomach.

He�s thin, Davey thought to himself as he looked Adam�s nearly naked form over, but not too much. He�s gotten. . . not fat. Adam never gets fat, that lucky bastard. No, he�s. . . full. Thick. Healthy.

Davey remembered the pizza and hot wings he had seen them gobble down and winced. They ate animals! Charred carcasses and OTHER substances secreted from OTHER animals! The gruesomeness of it all!

He�d have some work ahead of him but Davey vowed silently to free Adam from the mindless killing and consumption of animals. Davey took on a happy tone as he thought maybe Adam�s friends could be freed also. Who knows? It was worth a shot.

Adam�s chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm. Davey watched this, hypnotized quickly. His left hand settled on Adam�s stomach, palm down, feeling warmth and the steady heartbeat. Not satisfied, Davey shifted and gently rested his head against Adam�s stomach. He put no pressure and let himself move along with Adam�s movement. He didn�t want his friend waking up so soon, but he DID want to spend as much time close to him as possible.

Bump-bump. Bump-bump. Bump-bump. The beating inside his chest was so soothing, Davey nearly felt like nodding off. He forced his eyes open and was about to rise when he heard Adam make a noise. This noise didn�t come from Adam�s throat, but rather his stomach. Curious, Davey put his ear close and listened closely. There it was again!!

Davey became worried. Was Adam sick? Was he having a stomach ache? The noise was a low rumbling, growling-type of noise. Davey probed Adam�s sleeping mind gently. No, Adam wasn�t in pain. And he wasn�t hungry, either, since that was his second guess. Then what was it?

Davey listened to the noise for several more minutes. It wasn�t constant. It came in low waves, as rhythmic as the heart beat. Davey let his own thoughts run different courses until he came up with the only answer possible. He smiled and peered up at Adam�s closed eyes.

Adam was. . . purring. He was like a great big cat, relaxed and lazily sprawled out. he purred unconsciously, making his happiness known without knowing it. Happiness? Why was he happy? Davey had hope, but he wasn�t stupid. Adam was asleep and had no idea he was even here. So why was he happy?

By chance, Davey�s hand had been running light circling patterns over Adam�s stomach. Now, it slowly went lower. Davey turned his face to watch his own hand push down the sheet and reveal the rest of Adam�s body. Davey froze, then smirked. So his attentions hadn�t gone unnoticed, had they?

As much as he was tempted, Davey did nothing. He wanted to run his fingers on Adam�s. . . skin, but he didn�t. He wanted to grope Adam�s. . . but he didn�t. Hell, he even wanted to put his mouth on, and use his tongue on. . . but he didn�t. It wasn�t right. He couldn�t molest Adam while he slept. Not yet, anyway. Perhaps after the first couple of times they were at it, then maybe he could get that bold.

Bold. Davey tore his eyes away from Adam�s hard-on and realized he had one himself. Damn, Adam always turned him on. Well, it was about time to wake up sleeping beauty. He had enough time to rest, anyway.

Gladly, Davey moved back up to Adam�s face and gently began kissing his lips. There was no response for a good few minutes, but then slowly, achingly slow, Adam�s lips began to twitch and gently kiss back. Davey stroked the side of his powerful jaw and ran his fingers slightly through his messy black hair. He moved his kisses to Adam�s cheek, his warm lips nothing compared to Adam�s soft, yet rough skin. Davey let his lips find the ridge of Adam�s large nose and trail kisses up and down. Davey closed his eyes and mentally sighed. This was heavenly bliss.

Soon, Adam�s hands reached up and held Davey close without bothering to wake up fully. A charge of electricity ran through Davey�s sexual organs as he felt the hands run up and down his back, pausing only to squeeze his buttocks and run back up again. He leaned in and returned to Adam�s mouth, this time deepening the kiss. Is was still closed mouthed, but now Adam was actually beginning to open his mouth slightly. Davey�s tongue slipped in gently, licked the front teeth and escaped back out before Adam�s lips could suck on it absently.

Davey was having fun. It even felt like Adam was having fun, also. But he was taken by surprise when Adam�s arms clutched him closer and his lower body made a slight humping motion. Davey felt this and caught his breath. Damn, that was hot. Still on his side, Davey reached down between Adam�s legs and. . . helped.

Adam finally caught Davey�s lips and hungrily suck then open and made the kiss more open. He also began moving back and forth, himself trapped in Davey�s hands. His movement shook the bed and thrilled Davey so much he gave a sigh into his mouth. Davey knew Adam might not like to be spent this way, so released his hold on Adam�s member. Disappointed, Adam gave a growl-like whimper. Davey moved back to let Adam enough time to calm his body down, but that proved a wrong idea.

Adam, feeling where the body had gone on the bed, quickly went after it. Still with his eyes closed, Adam gave a grunt and moved on top of Davey. �Come here.� Davey was shocked to hear Adam whisper this before crushing his lips to his. Not sure what to do now, Davey�s conscience took the better of him. He pushed Adam back and smiled.

�Wake up Adam.� he said quietly into the room. �You�re dreaming.�

�The hell I am.� He growled and ran his hands up and down Davey�s chest and stomach, making him blush as it went dangerously lower.

�No, Adam,� Davey said as Adam�s lips found his neck and all his weak spots, �wake up. Come on. I was only playing with you. You�ll get mad later when you�ve realized what you�ve done.�

Adam pulled back slightly and rubbed both eyes. He blinked rapidly and looked down at Davey with those two blue ice bergs. He glared. �I�d better not be still dreaming, then. And you�d better be lying when you said you were playing, Davey. I�ve got a mean-ass hard on and I�m not gonna let it just go.� It took Davey a moment to register this, then he smiled.

�Okay, Ad.� he said, then reached back down. Adam swatted his hand away and got off of Davey. He said nothing as he gently pushed Davey to his side. Davey took the cue and wordlessly slipped off his jogging pants. In the heat of the moment, he�d forgotten all about the lube and the condom in his pocket. Instead, he focused on Adam�s attentions and the gentle force as he pushed in.

The only sound through the entire event was the bed springs squeaking and their accelerated breathing. Davey wanted to moan, to shout Adam�s name, but was too caught up in the pleasure and the sensations to make any kind of sound. Adam gripped Davey�s thigh and forced himself to go slower, make a rhythm. He knew if Davey hadn�t forced him awake, he would have fucked his friend senseless and ended it too quickly. Now, his hands stroked up and down Davey�s body, even traveling down briefly. Davey made no sound, but Adam smiled as his friend screamed and moaned in his head.

Feeling his climax coming soon, Adam forced himself on top, making Davey lay on his stomach. He lay his entire weight on him but didn�t start to move again. Instead, with his body aching for release, he reached up and pulled Davey�s hair loose. He ran his fingers through this and held on securely before he began thrusting again.

Now Davey moaned. He arched his back and tilted his head back, strands of black hair falling past his face. He moaned nonsense out his mouth but his thoughts were coherent as they ran through Adam�s mind, making him move even faster.

�God, Davey!� Adam complained in a lust-filled whine, a split second before coming. Davey gave a low shriek, body becoming tight and muscles clenching. He fell back to the bed, too spent to even form another thought. Adam collapsed on top of him, both too tired to move away. Ten minutes later and they were sound asleep, Adam still inside Davey and the sun pouring into the window on their naked forms.
