Notes: There's a part in the Before They Were Superstars video where Adam talks about the hardships he and Jay went through getting started. He mentioned a particular time where they were sleeping in a gym in Canada during the winter and the power went out and how they all had to cuddle together, ya know- for "warmth". *chokes* These guys are so inspirational...
Disclaimers: Standard stuff- not making any claims about their true sexuality, none of this ever happened- I have no money, please don't sue...


The early morning sun crept over the horizon, spilling its weak dawn light through the windows. Adam opened his eyes and regarded the slumbering form of his best friend still curled in his arms. He watched the sun catch its light in Jay's hair, turning it into strands of spun gold that sparkled brilliantly in the gray morning light.

Jay had chosen this lonely corner of the room last night because of its bank of tall windows- he had wanted to look out at the stars as he drifted to sleep. Adam had been only too happy to agree when he saw the rest of the wrestlers avoiding the colder area of the room. When the power- along with the heat- had gone out later that night, Jay had simply climbed into Adam's sleeping bag and into his arms as if it were the most natural thing in the world. And Adam had scarcely been able to breathe, afraid he was dreaming and would wake himself up. His heart had fluttered at the merest touch of his friend's soft skin against his own. Later, when Jay had fallen asleep, he had pulled Jay tightly to him and buried his head into the smaller man's golden hair, breathing deeply and imagining what it would be like if he could do this every night. He knew he was only kidding himself, but it felt good to pretend like Jay was his as he held him in his arms through the cold winter night, never letting him go, even when the power finally came back on.

The rest of the room was still filled with the snores and deep breathing of the other wrestlers. Adam smiled to himself, glad for the moment at least, to have Jay to himself in the early morning hours. Jay sighed in his sleep and turned over on his side, snuggling deeper into his friend's arms. Adam felt his breath catch in his throat as he felt Jay's warm body press itself tightly against his morning erection. He looked down at Jay's face, only inches from his own, the lips parted slightly as Jay breathed deeply in his sleep. Adam reached over slowly so he wouldn't wake Jay, and gently smoothed his friend's tousled hair, pulling a strawberry-blonde strand away from his face and out of the sleeping man's eyes. Jay murmured softly, but didn't wake up. Adam froze, looking down at the soft inviting mouth, wondering... what would it hurt? Just a quick kiss- Jay would never need to know.

He lowered his mouth slowly to Jay's, brushing their lips together and thrilling at the sweet shiver the touch sent down his spine. Before he knew what he was doing he had pulled Jay tighter into his arms and deepened the kiss, running his tongue along the swollen, pouty lips and tangling his fingers in the long, golden hair. His brain was frantically trying to tell him to stop, but his body wasn't listening. His hand slid from the silky hair and down Jay's back to the tight ass he could never seem to stop himself from looking at, squeezing the firm cheeks while his lips roamed down to find the soft skin of Jay's neck. He sucked and nipped greedily, feeling his erection harden even more when Jay's body began to respond in his sleep. Adam murmured, rubbing their erections together and groaning softly at the pleasure. He heard Jay groan and pulled away fearfully in time to see the smaller man's eyes opening. Heart hammering furiously, Adam watched with apprehensive eyes as Jay regarded him silently for a moment. Jay's lips turned up into the quirky little smile that always made Adam want to kiss him silly, and for a moment his heart soared and he dared to hope...

"A fine sight your ugly mug is to wake up to," Jay complained teasingly, in a croaky morning voice. "I was having the most incredible dream about this hot blonde chick..."

Adam's heart sank again, but he fixed his face with what he hoped was a believable smile and playfully swatted his friend upside the head. The two of them scuffled light-heartedly for a few minutes, and Adam could almost forget his disappointment while they joked around with each other. Then Jay yawned hugely, and stretched, sinking back against Adam's body. He looked up at the taller man and gave another silly grin.

"I could stay like this forever," Jay said, giving a huge sigh of contentment. He closed his eyes, not seeing the laughter fading from Adam's eyes, although the smile stayed determinedly fixed into place.

"So could I," Adam answered softly. "So could I."
