"Thank you and goodnight!" Kris called to the screaming crown in San Diego. The top 10 idols all exited the stage. Kris leaned against the wall as soon as they got backstage. He wiped the sweat from his forehead. One of the bad things about winning idol was that after his five song set they went right into the group number with no break. Kris got up and went over to Adam who was giving Allison one his huge hugs.

"Good job, sweetie" Kris heard Adam say to Allison.

"Hey," Kris called to Adam and Allison, "Is there a group hug going on without me over here?"

"Sorry," Allison called to Kris, sticking her tongue out, "Only people whose name begins with A in the group hug!"

"Sweet!" Anoop yelled running over and wrapping his arms around Adam and Allison. Kris laughed and joined in on the hug.

"Kris you are breaking our rule!" Adam laughed, but wrapped an arm around Kris.

"Okay," Matt called walking over, "Enough lovey-dovey hugging. Let's go to my room! We don't have a show tomorrow so we can hang out!" All the idols agreed and they made their way to Matt's room.

3 hours later the top 10 idols were still lounging in Matt's room. They almost never got to do this because of their hectic schedule.

"I've got a game!" Matt announced. All the idols groaned. Matt's games were never good.

"No, really!" Matt insisted, "This one is funny! I'm gonna pretend to be one of us and you guys guess who it is! Ready? CAW CAW!" Megan rolled her eyes and said "Huh, I wonder who that could be!" All the idols started laughing.

"My turn!" Allison yelled and jumped up from Adam's lap, "Here we go. DREAM ON DREAM ON DREAAMMMM" Allison screamed at the top of her lungs which caused all the idols to flinch and cover their ears.

"Well it was better than the original version!" Anoop joked and Danny punched him lightly on the arm.

"Hardy har har you guys are sooo funny" Danny said, rolling his eyes.

"Now Gokey, come on. Who says hardy har har?" Adam said, laughing.

"Okay," Lil said adapting a motherly tone, "I think its time for us to go to bed."

"Fine Mom," Allison said pretending to stomp over to the door.

"Night everyone!" Adam called, nudging Kris to go and following Allison to the door. Once they stepped in the hallway Adam wrapped Allison in a huge hug.

"Night Allie, see you tomorrow!" Adam said squeezing Allison tightly

"Night Adam! Love you!" Allison said

"Love you too sweetie" Adam responded kissing the top of her red hair.

"Night Krissy!" Allison called. Kris rolled his eyes at her nickname

"Allie what did I say about calling me Krissy? It's KRIS just Kris."

"Whatever you say Krissy" Allison said sticking her tongue out as she ran into her room. Adam chuckled at his little sister and led the way to his and Kris' room. The tour managers had said that people didn't need to share rooms but it would save them money if they did. Immediately Adam and Kris volunteered to share. Adam unlocked the door to their room and collapsed on his bed.

"I'm so glad they booked a hotel tonight!" Adam sighed, "I'm sick of that tiny bunk on the bus!"

"Yeah," Kris agreed softly. He was feeling something weird. It had suddenly come up when Adam had kissed Allison.

"So," Kris said, "You and Allison have been hanging out a lot lately" Adam raised his eyebrows at the question and his eyes filled with confusion.

"Yes…?" Adam answered sounding completely confused.

"Just noticing" Kris replied nonchalantly. Kris had no idea where he was going with this but he just felt the need to ask.

"Is there a problem with that?" Adam asked, sitting up.

"No, of course not" Kris said, too quickly. Adam wasn't fooled in the slightest.

"Seriously Kris. What? You like Allison, right?" Adam said scratching his head.

"Of course!" Kris assured Adam honestly, "I love Allie!" Adam looked even more confused.

"Okay? Then why does it matter that I'm hanging out with her?" Adam pressed.

"It doesn't!" Kris tried to assure Adam. Kris still had the strange feeling hanging over him. It felt sort of like annoyance but not exactly. It felt familiar but new. He couldn't put a finger on it.

"Kris seriously, what?" Adam said beginning to sound annoyed.

"Well," Kris started realizing he had no idea what was going to come out of his mouth, "It's just…she is young. You really need to be careful. With the press and everything. You can't let anything get out or the paparazzi will have a field day. You just haven't been very careful lately." Adam's expression looked completely perplexed. Suddenly humor filled Adam's eyes and he broke out in hysterical laughter.

"You…think…I'm…dating…Allie?" Adam said between hysterics. Kris turned bright red and stuttered

"What…n-no! That's dumb!" Adam continued to howl with laughter. Kris scowled. After about 5 minutes Adam began to breathe again. He wiped some tears away from eyes and turned to look straight at Kris. Kris turned even redder but could not break away from Adam's gaze. His bright blue seemed to hold him.

"Kristopher Neil Allen that was the dumbest accusation I have ever heard," Adam said letting out a chuckle, "Why on Earth would you think I was dating Allison?" Kris finally broke away from Adam's gaze and hid his face in his hands.

"I don't know" he mumbled into his hands, "It just sort of seemed like it" Kris heard Adam's bed's springs creek and he felt Adam's big hand on his shoulder.

"Aw come on Kris don't be embarrassed! It was funny!" Adam laughed. Kris felt shivers when Adam laughed his perfect laugh. Suddenly Kris realized where he had felt that feeling before. In 12th grade he and Katy had broken up for about a month after an argument. In that month Katy had gone a few dates with the school's quarterback. Kris vaguely remembered feeling a burning feeling inside his gut, jealousy. Kris was jealous that Adam had kissed Allison! Kris felt his face light on fire. What did this mean? As quickly as it had turned red his face paled.

"Kris?" Adam asked, sounding worried. "Kris, are you okay? You like you're going to be sick!"

"I think I'm gonna be!" Kris mumbled. A wave of nausea hit him and he ran to the bathroom.

"Kris!" Adam yelled running in after him, "What happened?"

"I don't know," Kris lied. Kris knew exactly what happened. Kris had finally realized how he felt about Adam. He loved Adam, and not as a friend. Kris slowly got up, grabbed a washcloth and wiped his mouth. After rinsing his mouth out with mouthwash he laid down on his bed. Adam followed him. Adam placed his hand on Kris' forehead sending shivers down Kris' body.

"You're not hot" Adam said worriedly.

"Yeah well you are" Kris said quietly but confidently.

"Kris? Wha-?" But Adam was cut off by Kris' lips pressed firmly against his. Adam stiffened. Kris pressed harder. He ran his tongue along the firm line between Adam's closed lips trying to get a response. Kris felt Adam's hands pushing against his chest.

"Kris," Adam gasped, "What the hell are you doing?"

"Kissing you?" Kris said innocently

"Damn it!" Adam yelled kicking the bed so hard it almost collapsed. Kris shrunk down into his blanket. He had never seen so much rage those beautiful blue eyes.

"Kris" Adam said coldly, "I'm going to go stay with Allison tonight. I will tell her you are sick and I don't want to catch it. Good night." And Adam stalked out of the door, slamming it behind him. Kris felt tears well up in his eyes. What had he done? He just ruined his relationship with his best friend! With that thought in mind, Kris cried himself to sleep.
