Diamonds and Hats.

Elusive and AJ sat in the closet waiting. This escapade would be something they would never live down. To pass the time AJ would say things like, "How ya doin'" or the occasional sigh. Elusive was more concerned with the smallness of there confinement. The closet was in the shape of a tiny hallway, being long enough to lay down in, but only stout enough to give them two inches of space. There was a clock hanging over the door in the closet, so they could keep track of time, but AJ said that they would begin to investigate their disappearances at some point tomorrow, so they were able to ration the granola bars and water in Elusive's bag till then. He glanced at the clock; half 7. Elusive yawned, breaking the silence.

"Tired?" asked AJ. Elusive nodded.

"I normally don't get tired this early, but seeing as how we're playing the waiting game, I can't really see a reason why not to sleep." He yawned once more. Elusive adjusted himself on his back, using his arm as a pillow. He mumbled a good night to AJ and began to let sleep overtake him. He was out in less than 6 minutes.

Elusive felt dreadfully groggy. He was conscious, but his body refused to move. He was just so comfortable. He smelt cinnamon and was the perfect temperature. Wait wasn't he supposed to be in a closet, filled with chemicals, and on a cold floor? He opened his, albeit a bit faster than he wanted to admit, and noticed something that made him blush a deep shade of red.

He was smuggled with AJ, limbs intertwined. One of AJ's arms was around his waist with another against his back pulling him very close. One of Elusive's legs was pressed up against the cowboy's groin, which had grown to glory from what Elusive deduced was morning wood. There faces were so close, there was less then a centimeter left to close the gap between them, and Elusive was smelling AJ's cinnamon breath. His stomach was doing flips. AJ's eyes soon fluttered open, revealing the emerald orbs. Now it was AJ's turn to do the blushing, as they both jumped backing into a wall.

"I AM SO SORRY, AJ!!! OH MY GOSH IT IS ALL MY FAULT!!!"

"AH SHOULD BE THE ONE APOLOGIZING!!! JUST BECAUSE YA ACT GIRLY DOESN'T MEAN AH SHOULD HAVE JUST ASSUMED!!!"

Elusive's mind was still trying to process this whole situation, when he finally realized the last words to escape AJ's lips. Did he just admit to doing that on purpose? Elusive was playing the words back in his mind, each time adding a new butterfly into his stomach. "Wait, you said that you shouldn't have assumed. Did you do this on purpose?"

AJ's face went pale. He had just revealed his secret to Elusive. This was definitely going to make things awkward. He was cursing his honesty. Why did he have to blurt out the truth like that?! "Yes..." AJ answered, his voice getting really quiet after that. "Sorry if ah scared you. I really hope that this doesn't make things awkward for us," AJ said feeling ready to cry at the inevitable rejection. Instead, different words graced his ears.

"Well I would most definitely be lying if I said I hadn't enjoyed it. I have to admit, I don't really care that much about who's dating who, but with you I do tend to pay more attention when your grandfather sets you up on dates with the girls at the school. I guess you could call it a sort envy I guess," he rattled off. He couldn't believe what he had just said. He just, although somewhat vaguely, just admitted his crush, to his crush!

"So would ya mind maybe going to a movie with me some time. Y'know, if ya wanna, that is." AJ was clearly nervous. He was biting his lip, and twiddling his thumbs in the hopes to maybe go on a date with somebody he chose for once.

"I think that that's a wonderful idea. When we get out of here of course." Elusive was jumping for joy in his head! He finally was going to go on a date with somebody he had been crushing on for the longest time! Although, as if on queue, the door opened, and the police, along with the worried guardians of the boys, had finally rescued them.
