Warnings: underage sex, m/m sex, mention of underage prostitution and child abuse/neglect, homophobia.
Summary:
Kris has been in the same foster family since he was three. He's a very happy, well adjusted child, but beginning to feel different. Adam is a troubled teen, in and out of group and foster homes and on the street, forced to do things, no child should ever have to go through.
This is the story of them. A Kradam Love Story.
A/N:
This is a lot different that anything else I've written, there will be some angst. It will break your heart at times, it did mine, but bear with me, it definitely get's better and happier and eventually sexier. I have no idea how long it will be, around 100 chapters. I'll try an update once or twice a week. I hope you enjoy it, please comment, it makes me happy.
Master List
Brotherly Love - Chapter 87
Kris drove to school and picked up Ethan on the way. “Hey man”, he said as he got into the car. “So I can’t wait for practice, today.”
“Yeah, me either”, Kris really meant that. He was ready to just get on with his life.
School was going pretty well, he saw Allison and Lucy throughout the day and at lunch. The class that was the hardest for him now, used to be his favorite. Jazz Band. He was the only electric guitar now and although he liked that he got more solos, he missed having his friend there. He was never your friend, he had to remind himself.
After school was over, Kris met Ethan and they changed into their uniforms, grabbed their gear and headed out to the baseball field. Today was tryouts.
He and Ethan were expected to make the varsity team, but everyone ‘tried out’. That way they could see how the new kids played with the rest of the teams.
There was a new guy, also an eleventh grader that Kris didn’t know, but thought he'd seen him in the hallways. “Who’s that?” He asked Ethan.
He just shrugged, “No idea.”
He was a catcher, and had a pretty good arm. He came up to Kris during a break. “Hey, I’m Donald, nice to meet you”, he held his hand out to Kris.
Kris just looked at it; frozen on the spot. Fortunately, Ethan saw the exchange and came over to bail Kris out.
“Hey, I’m Ethan and this is Kris.” He shook the extended hand for his friend.
“Nice to meet you. I’m Donald. I just moved here from Louisville.”
“Are you being paid or blackmailed to be my friend?” Kris accused the poor guy.
“What?”
Ethan shot Kris a concerned look and tried to cover, “Um, nothing. So, you’re a really good catcher.”
“Thanks”, Donald was still staring at Kris, wondering what was wrong with him.
“Do you have parents?”
“Uh yeah…” Donald was totally confused.
“Yeah, Kris doesn’t like new people right now”, Ethan said, guiding Donald away from Kris who was in an utter panic.
“Uh, ok.”
“He’s a great guy once you get to know him. Best second baseman I’ve ever known.”
“That’s good.”
Kris just stood there and waited for Ethan to get back. He did, a few minutes later. “You ok, buddy?”
“No, who is that guy? Another ‘friend’?” He made his fingers into ‘quotes’.
“Well, he has two parents and played varsity for Centennial High School in Louisville, Kentucky. They just moved here because his dad got a new job. I didn’t get the rest of his resume, but I think he’s on the level”, Ethan said, slightly sarcastically.
“Oh my God, what did I just do?” Kris covered his face with his hand, eyes welling up.
Ethan put his arm around his friend. “It’s ok, buddy. I got your back, alright?”
“Yeah, I’m so sorry. I better apologize.”
“That might be a good idea.”
Ethan walked Kris over to Donald, who was putting on his catcher’s gear.
“So, hey there”, Kris began.
“Uh hey there”, Donald repeated.
“So, can we please forget everything that I just said back there?” Kris asked, guiltily.
“Yeah, if you’ll tell me what that was all about”, he answered, concerned.
“Um, I was attacked a couple of months ago, well drugged and kidnapped actually.”
“Oh shit, really dude?”
“Yeah, I don’t want to get into that, but I thought this new kid was my friend and it turned out that he wasn’t.”
Donald held his hand up, “Enough said, man. Really sorry that happened to you. So, do you want to start over?” He held out his hand again.
“Yeah, I’d really like that”, Kris shook his hand. “I’m Kris, Kris Allen.”
“Nice to meet you, Kris”, Donald chuckled. “I’m Donald Worth.”
The rest of practice went well. Try-outs would continue tomorrow and then the coach said he’d post the two teams by Wednesday afternoon before the first official practice.
Ethan and Kris liked what they saw in the freshmen and both hoped that Donald would make varsity even though it was his first year with the team.
Ethan suggested that he drive them home and Kris agreed, but he thought Ethan would drive to his home, not the Martin’s. Then he realized that he also wanted to come inside. “So, you’re mom home?” Ethan asked looking around.
“You’re not going to tell her, are you?”
“I think we should, Kris”, he said, gently.
“Ok”, Kris relented, opening the door to the kitchen. Ethan entered first, “Hey Mrs. M”, he said.
“Oh, hi Ethan.”
Kris excused himself and went upstairs to get cleaned up while Ethan offered to help Pam in the kitchen.
“Everything alright, Ethan?”
“Yeah, um Kris sort of freaked out at practice today.”
“What do you mean?” She asked, hesitantly.
“Well, this new kid came out for try-outs and he tried to make friends with Kris, and…”
“Oh God, what did he do?”
“Asked him some strange questions, like ‘Do you have parents?’”
“He didn’t.”
“He worked it out though”, Ethan smiled, reassuringly at Mrs. Martin.
“Thanks, Ethan. I’m glad Kris has you as a friend.”
Kris came back downstairs a few minutes later. “So, did Ethan tell you how stupid I was today?” He was totally humiliated at the way he’d acted. Mom just gave him a hug.
Ethan stayed for dinner and then Kris drove him home afterwards. “Thanks for today, man.”
“Don’t mention it. See you tomorrow?”
Kris drove back home and slumped at the kitchen table. "Mom, I’m becoming a freak."
"No you're not, Kris. It's just going to take a while for you to trust people you don’t know, that’s all." She gave him another hug and then they talked about the rest of his day.
~~~~
Kris called Adam that night to tell him about practice. He thought about not mentioning what happened, but nothing good ever came out of keeping things from each other.
“Kris, that’s almost to be expected. He’s the first stranger that wanted to be your friend. I’m sure he understands.”
“So, how was rehearsal?” Kris wanted to change the subject.
“Great! I met the cast and got the script. Angel has some great lines.”
They talked for several minutes. Adam told him about the guy playing Mark and his comment to Adam about being a freshman.
“You’ll make him eat those words, Adam.”
“I hope so. Oh, and I forgot to tell you, Tommy’s in the pit.”
“Really, playing guitar?”
“Yeah, it’s good having him there.”
Kris had practice the rest of the week, so they made plans for him to come over on Friday and they'd have dinner with Tommy. Then he was going home for the weekend anyway, so Kris could spend the weekend with Adam.
“Really? I can’t wait to see you. I feel like it’s been forever.”
“Me too. But this week should go fast, I have rehearsal every day.”
“So do I; practice, I mean. I better go, Adam. I love you.”
“I love you too, baby. See you on Friday.”
They hung up and then Kris got ready for bed. Kris thought back to the first time that he met Desmond. It wasn’t random. He tried almost too hard to be his friend. Looking back, it was kind of obvious, he just didn’t know it. He even thought at the time that the guy was kind of strange. He could trust his feelings; he just chose to ignore them at the time. Donald wasn’t like that. He was just being friendly. Kris would just have to be more careful.
He finished brushing his teeth and climbed into bed. He reached for his phone and texted Adam, ‘Goodnight, baby. I love you.’
A few seconds later, his phone buzzed. ‘I love you too. <3’
Kris smiled and closed his eyes, snuggling into his covers and wishing that Adam were lying next to him.
~~~~
The next day, Kris saw Donald in the hallway between classes a couple of times. He was talking to some other kids and when he saw Kris, he just nodded in recognition and went back to his new friends. Kris smiled in relief. Its ok, Kris, he told himself.
“You alright, buddy”, Ethan came up behind him, patting him on the back.
“Yeah, I’m good. Thanks.”
“Anytime, man.”
Their second day of try-outs went well. Donald was a really good catcher, which was good, because their old catcher graduated last spring and the guy filling in during the off season was really a center fielder.
After practice, Ethan and Kris invited Donald to hang out with their friends at the diner. They were celebrating. “Hey, I haven’t made the team yet”, Donald argued.
“Oh, you will”, Ethan promised.
Allison and Lucy arrived shortly after the boys. “Hey guys. So, Kris; how’s Adam?” Lucy asked him with a twinkle in her eye.
“You still have a crush on my boyfriend, Lucy?” He teased.
“Boyfriend?” Donald questioned.
“Yeah", Kris answered while the rest of the table just glared at Donald.
He just shrugged.
"You don’t have a problem with that, do you?” Kris asked, afraid of the answer.
“No, of course not. I'm just surprised, that's all. I’ve never met anyone that’s…”
“Well, Kris is just like everyone else”, Ethan said in defense.
“Yeah, except that he has a really hot boyfriend”, Lucy giggled.
Kris nodded. It was true.
Everyone laughed at that, easing the tension.
The next day after school, Ethan and Kris ran to the board to see the team roster. As expected, he and Kris were both made varsity. And… “Donald”, Ethan squealed, “You made the team.”
“Awesome, man.” They all high-fived each other and got dressed for practice.
The new varsity baseball team was made up of six returning seniors and most of the rising juniors from last year and now their new catcher. They were looking forward to a great season.

Friday afternoon couldn’t get her fast enough for Kris. All day, he kept looking at his watch. When the final bell rang, he practically ran out of the school to his car. He was going straight to the campus. Over the past few months, he'd gathered a small collection of his own clothes and other amenities in Adam’s room so he wouldn't need to go home first.
He texted Adam from the parking lot. 'I'm here'. He waited a few minutes before his phone buzzed. "Cool. I'll be there in about twenty mins".
Kris put his phone away and walked towards Adam's dormitory. He waited outside on the grass for Adam. He'd have to ask him about getting a key.
While he was waiting, one of Adam's drama class friends walked by. "Hey Kris", she greeted him.
"Oh hey..."
"Darla", she smiled.
"Darla, nice to see you again."
She sat down next to him and chatted until Adam arrived with Tommy about fifteen minutes later.
Adam came running over when he spotted Kris. "Hey baby", he said, pulling him up and kissing the breath out of him. "Missed you."
"Mm, missed you too."
"Well, I'll leave you too alone", Darla giggled, standing up.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, we just came from rehearsal."
"That's ok, you're friends are really nice."
"So, dinner?" Tommy spoke up, reminding them that he was right here.
They wanted to drop off their stuff first. Kris jumped on the bed, while Adam got ready to go to dinner.
"So, how was rehearsal?" Kris asked as they walked to the cafeteria.
Adam shot Tommy a look before answering, "It's ok."
"OK?"
"There's this guy, Kenny."
"Yeah, you told me about him the other night."
"Right, he's kind of a jerk."
Tommy rolled his eyes, "He's a total jerk. He thinks he's this great actor and bosses the other cast around."
"Well, he can act", Adam defended.
"More like over-act", Tommy snickered.
Adam got quiet for a second.
"Did he do or say something to you, Adam?"
Adam sighed, "I overheard him tell one of the other guys that he's glad he got the part of Mark, because he could never play a 'fag'.
Tommy nodded, "Can you believe that? I was so ready to punch him out."
"Wow, that's pretty shitty."
Adam just shrugged, "Whatever."
"I'm sorry, baby."
"I just thought that in a theatre department, there wouldn't be assholes like that.”
"So, is the rest of it going well?"
"Yeah", Adam changed his tone, "I love Angel. I have some great lines, but I wish I had more singing." He didn't tell Kris that he was totally having second thoughts about the whole college thing. That would just scare Kris right now, thinking that he'd leave him.
"I know, but you're going to kill it on stage. Everyone will know that Angel is the real star."
"Thanks, baby."
They finished dinner and then walked back to the dorm. Tommy gathered his things for the weekend and said goodbye to his friends.
"Tell Dani we said hi".
"I will. Have fun, you two", he winked.
When Tommy shut the door behind him, Adam accosted Kris on the bed. "Finally, we're alone."
"Adam?" Kris barely whispered.
"Huh, baby?
"I want you, right now."
"You, naked, now", Adam grunted as he began to tear the clothes right off of Kris. "God, I missed you."
