Summary: This is a based on a prompt for harlequinkradam round 4.  37. Adam Lambert’s a little tipsy when he mistakes Kris Allen for a fan and takes him home for the night [or blows him off, author choice]. Things are a bit awkward when Adam realizes that the Kris he met the night before is the same Kris Allen his band is supposed to be opening for on their upcoming tour. Can Adam convince Kris that he’s not quite the player [or jerk] he appears to be, and show him that they’re perfect for each other?

Master List

Back Door Chapter 3/8

It was one week before the tour.  This afternoon was the first dress rehearsal.  It was being held at Capital Records, in Hollywood.  Kris Allen was stewing all day.  He would be seeing Adam again.  What was he supposed to say to him?  He really had fucked it all up.  Adam was such a cool guy, from what he knew of him before he accused him of being some sort of trollop.  Does anyone even say that word?  He chuckled to himself.  Kris decided to make peace with Adam and tell him how he feels.  How did he feel?  Well, I felt great when you were kissing me and touching me and… fucking me.

Kris had dreamed of Adam many times in the past couple of weeks.  The dream was always the same.  Adam making love to him and just before he came, he’d call Adam a slut.  Adam would jump up and then stomp off yelling at Kris.  He woke up sweating every time.

“‘Back Door’ just arrived”, Kris’s manager was telling them.  They showed the intimidated rock band the practice room they’d be using. 

“Shit, this place is amazing”, Isaac said, as they walked through the famous hallways of Capitol Records.  “Do you know how many famous musicians and rock stars have been here?”

“It’s incredible”, Tommy reiterated.

“Hey guys”, Kris Allen met them at the entrance of their practice room.  “So, we’re going to run through the entire program.  Starting with the sound checks, alright?”

“Yeah, sounds good”, Adam spoke up, taking a good look at Kris Allen.  Kris, he thought.  He’s just Kris.  Then his mind came back to earth.  Yeah, Kris, who thinks you sleep around.  All of these thoughts showed clearly through the changing expressions on Adam’s face.

“Adam”, Kris walked towards him.  “Can I talk to you for a minute?”

“Now, Kris?  You think that’s a good idea?”  He deadpanned.  Not wanting Kris to notice his stomach doing flip flops, he stood just looking at him.

“Yeah, now.”  Kris pulled him to the side.  “I really messed the other night.”

“You mean when you went home with me?” 

“No, God.  Adam, I mean when you came to my hotel room.  I wasn’t very nice and everything I meant to say came out wrong.  I’m sorry.”

Adam looked him up and down.  He sounded sincere and looked, well he looked sweet and honest and Adam just wanted to eat him up.  “Ok, Allen.  I’m sorry too.”

“For what?” 

“For not letting you explain and running out.”

Kris held his hand out for Adam to shake it.  “Truce?”

Adam smiled.  “Truce.”

Then he quietly said, “Thank you”, and walked back to the group.  Well, it was something.

Kris and his band ran through sound check like they would at the show, and then ‘Back Door’ did the same.  Afterwards, they took a break.  Capitol provided a catered spread for them.

“Wow, man”, Tommy commented.  “Nice”, he said grabbing some finger food.

Then they ran through the entire set again, this time just how it would be for real.  Kris couldn’t take his eyes off of Adam.  Man, he was gorgeous.  He thought back to the other night, all those ladies and boys fawning over him.  “I’m sure he get’s a lot of action.”

“What, Kris?” Cale questioned him.

“Oh, nothing.”  He blushed, realizing that he’d just said that out loud.

A couple of days later it was time for their final dress rehearsal.  They were going to be at the Kodak Theatre in West Hollywood, same venue as the first show in a couple of days.

They did the same run through; sound check and then performance.  This time, they practiced all of the lighting, props, sound, everything.  They wanted it to feel just like opening night.  And make sure that all of the equipment was operating properly.

It was really exciting for ‘Back Door’.  They’d never had a lighting show before.  Adam wanted lasers and Allen’s people readily agreed.

After the rehearsal, Kris Allen announced to everyone that he was taking them out to dinner to celebrate.

“That’s nice of you, Kris.”  Adam said to him.

“I’m a nice guy”, he smirked.

Kris took them to a celebrity hangout in Hollywood that most ‘normal’ people couldn’t get into.  “Wow, impressive Allen”, Isaac patted him on the back, while Adam just snorted.

He just shrugged off the remark.  He wasn’t trying to impress them.  Then he thought about it.  He was trying to impress Adam.  What was it about the guy?  He knew that he had to let all that go.  It wouldn’t be appropriate to have a relationship with him now.  Would it?

The next day was ‘move into the bus’ day.  That night they were staying in a hotel to rest up, and then back at the Kodak for sound check and the official start of the tour.

‘Back Door’ was really looking forward to the hotel stay.  They all lived in crappy apartments in and around Hollywood.  This was definitely a step up.

They and their equipment were picked up by car and they were taken to the busses.  ‘Back Door’ had one bus for the whole band and Neal, of course.  It was like an apartment.  There were several ‘sleep’ compartments with an area for each of their clothes, living area, kitchenette and bathroom with a shower.

“Man, we can actually live here.”  Isaac pondered.

“Man, we will be living here, dude”, Tommy laughed.

The girls had a separate sleeping area on the other end of the bus.  Adam giggled, most likely Tommy and Ashley would take that side and Cam would bunk with the boys.

“So, I wonder what Allen’s will be like?” They all wondered.

Adam shrugged, “I’m sure his living space with be a lot bigger”.

Just then, Kris came onto the bus, to make sure the guys were getting settled.  “Is everything alright here?”

“Yeah, it’s fantastic.”

“Good.  Let me or my crew know if you need anything at all.”

“Sure, Mr. Allen”, one of the girls piped up.

“It’s Kris”, he corrected.

That immediately reminded Adam of when Kris said that to him, in bed, just before he came for him.  He felt his cock jerk.  He turned and walked away, not wanting Kris to see his face right now.

  “Everything ok, Adam?”  Tommy asked.

“Yeah man, its fine”, Adam went back to his bunk to think.  This tour just may kill him.

Kris noticed the exchanged, but ignored it.  “Alright then.  Get acquainted with your new home and in about thirty minutes, the cars will take us to the hotel to check in.”

“Cool, Mr. A, uh Kris.”

Kris nodded and waved, walked outside of the bus.  He checked on the second bus which was his crew and management team.  It was identical to ‘Back Door’s’ bus, which made him think of Adam.

“You guys alright?”  He asked the crew.

“Yeah man.  This bus is smoking.”

“Ok, well, I’ll see you outside in a bit, and then we’ll head over to the hotel.”

“Ok, Mr. Allen.”

Finally Kris went to his own bus that he was sharing with his band.  They were back in their quarters, getting settled in, giving Kris time to be alone for a while.  He walked through the bus, beginning with the front lounge with a large television TV and DVD player so they could watch movies and chill.  Further on in was the band’s sleeping quarters, three bunks on either side.  It looked comfortable.  “Hey guys”, he said, passing through.

From his bunk, Cale looked down at Kris and just mentally checked him over.  Kris just tipped his head that everything was fine.  They didn’t really need words.

Next was the kitchen.  There was a refrigerator stocked with juices and snack food and a small stove and cooking area with a table in the middle.

Next he came to the night lounge with long couches and space to hang out in the evenings.  The band could jam in here as well, acoustically, of course.

The last door was his sleeping quarters.  He stepped inside and did a double take.  “Wow”, he said under his breath, feeling just a little bad after seeing everyone else’s areas.  The he reminded himself that it was his tour.

There was an actual double bed and sitting area just for him, with closet space and a private bathroom.  He sat on the bed and thought about everything that was going on.  He was about to start a nation-wide tour that would lead into a world-wide tour in a few months.  His second album had gone platinum.  He should be on top of the world.  Just one thing missing, he thought sadly.  He thought back to his ex-wife, Katy.  They were still friends.  She knew their marriage was a sham, but went through with it anyway, to get Kris through American Idol.  He loved her, but not the way she needed.  And she couldn’t love him the way he needed.  “Adam”, the name formed on his lips and then he touched his finger to the spot.  He could give me what I needed, he thought.  Then he remembered the way he met him in the bar.  No, Adam’s a player.  Adam should be a player, he’s so hot.  Why would he settle for one boring guy like me?

Cale notice the blaring quiet coming from Kris’s lair and knocked on the door.  “You ok, man?”

“Yeah, come on in.”

“You made the right decision, Kris.”

“Did I?”

“What if it ended badly and we’re still on tour?”

Kris just shook his head.

“Come on, man.  Let’s meet everyone outside.”

“Ok, coming in a minute.”

Cale left, and gathered the band and crew.  They were standing around talking to the guys in ‘Back Door’, minus Adam.

“So, you guys ready for this shit?”  Cale asked the newbie’s.

“Oh man, this is so cool.”  Tommy and Isaac were practically bouncing.  Ashley and Cam were talking to some of the crew.  Cam was asking about her keys and how they were being transported.  She was very concerned about her baby.  The crew happily showed her the equipment trucks and how everyone was packed up and kept safe during their travels.  She was satisfied and thanked them, the pair walking back to their band mates.

Adam was just coming out of the bus and joined the group as Kris came out of his bus.

“Everyone ready to head over?”

~~~~

They had accommodations at a hotel near the Kodak theatre, the same one that Kris Allen and entourage had been staying at for the past couple of weeks.

 Ashley and Cam had a room, Tommy and Adam were down the hall, and that left Isaac with Neal.

After they were settled, everyone met down in the lobby for lunch.  They were being catered in one of the small conference rooms at the hotel.

They entered the room and Tommy’s mouth was watering.  “Jeez, do you guys always eat like this?”

Kris laughed, “Not always.  Wait until we’re on the road and you’re eating cereal and Slim Jims.”

They enjoyed the spread and ate like there was no tomorrow.

“Free time till dinner”, Kris’s PA announced, dismissing the group.

Everyone was talking about what they wanted to do on their last few hours of freedom.

“I wanna sleep”, a couple of them said, mostly the crew.  Tommy and Isaac were too wound up.

“Shopping”, Adam and the girls shouted together.

Kris secretly wanted to go shopping, or where ever, with Adam, but…

“Hey Allen”, Adam had come right up to him with out Kris even noticing.

“Adam.”

“Do you want to come with us?”  He asked, pointing to the girls.

“You’re going shopping?”

“Yeah man.  Have you ever been to Melrose?”

“No.”

“Best shopping in Hollywood”, Cam said, convincingly.

“Alright”, he decided.  “If you’re sure it’s ok.”

“Absolutely”, Adam winked at him, putting his arm around him, casually.  “We’re gonna have some fun.”  He said, mischievously.

Kris just groaned, but followed them outside for a cab.

“So Kris, none of these stores carry plaid, but I’m sure we can find you something hot to wear.”  Adam teased.

“Plaid?  Hey, I don’t only wear plaid.”  They all looked at Kris’s shirt, plaid, and started laughing.  Even Kris found that funny.

“Alright, but don’t make me look ridiculous”, he warned.

“Do you think I look ridiculous, Kris?”  Adam asked.

“No, of course not, you’re…” He almost said ‘hot’, but stopped himself. “You look good in leather.”

“Don’t you know it!” Adam exclaimed.

Yup, that’s the Adam I know he is; self assured, cocky and a player.

“Kris”, Adam realizing his face had fallen a little, “I was just joking with you.”

Kris smiled that small crooked smile that Adam found ‘sexy as hell’.  “Come on, I’ll show you the best, most trendy stores in all of Hollywood.”

~~~~

Kris loved the stores that Adam took him in to.  The girls had wandered off after a bit, going into girl shops, leaving the boys to their ‘leather’, Cam had said.   He was having such a great time just hanging out with Adam.  He didn’t even realize the time.  Soon, they met up with the girls and the foursome cabbed their way back to the hotel several hours later, several bags in each of their hands. 

“Ok Adam, I have to admit.  That was a lot fun.”

“I knew you’d enjoy yourself”, they chatted through the lobby and back to their rooms; Kris saying goodbye when they reached Adam and the girl’s floor, leaving him alone with his thoughts.  Kris reached his room and opened the door with his keycard, placing his purchases on the chair and lay back on the bed.  He’d had an amazing day.
