** GOVERNOR IAN McKELLEN (pictured above) **

**************

"You wouldn't dare." Clooney says, attempting to call Tim's bluff, hoping that it was a bluff.

"Oh, I wouldn't?" Tim asks, raising a brow. "Just who in the hell do you think you're talking to? I'm not one of your pencil prick bitches that you can push around. I don't owe you a d*mn thing. I'm paying my time to the state, not you. I'm telling you if you know what's good for you, you had best stay away from Adam. You know I don't like people messing with things that belong to me. Understand?"

"Officer Chance? Would you mind escorting inmate Foust back to his cell?" Clooney says as he sits back down in his chair and turns his back to them.

Clooney breathed a sigh of relief as he heard the door close behind him. He turns back around in his chair and begins to drum his fingers on his desk. He had to admit, Foust scared the hell out of him. The man has killed five people and shows no remorse. He wouldn't think twice at killing again if the situation arose. He was sentenced to life without the chance of parole only because the state did not have the death penalty. So, what did he have to lose? A wicked smile came across Clooney's face.

Chance leads Tim back down toward his cell. Adam was waiting impatiently by the door. A few feet before they reach the cell, they are met by Clooney's new 'meat'.

"So we meet again, Gorgeous." Grassi says as he runs a finger along Tim's bearded jaw.

Adam's blue eyes flash with jealousy. Anger gnawed at his stomach as he watches this new inmate throw himself at his boy.... cellmate.

"Grassi get back to your cell." Chance warns.

"I wouldn't mind at all being the b*tch to the baddest man on the cell block." Mitch says as he ignores Chance completely and stares into the brown eyed man before him.

Adam watches with worried eyes to see how Tim would react to the request. But, he smiles as he sees a look of disgust come across Tim's handsome face.

"You disgust me. You worthless piece of trash." Tim growls as he roughly shoves Grassi out of his way.

"Well, this has been an interesting day." Chance chuckles as he starts to remove Tim's shackles. "Never a dull moment."

He thought it would be best to leave the shackles on Tim until he was back at his cell. For Clooney's safety.

"Here ya go, Adam. He's all yours." Chance chuckles as he unlocks the cell door. "See if you can keep him out of trouble."

Tim rubs his wrist as he stares into Adam's beautiful eyes. All the anger that he felt just a few minutes prior was gone. Washed away by those ocean blue eyes.

The second Tim steps inside the cell, Adam throws himself into his arms.

"Did you miss me?" Tim chuckles softly as he holds Adam close.

"Yes, I did. You had me worried." Adam says.

"I just had to go have a little man to man talk with our dear warden." Tim smiles as Adam leads him over to the bunks to sit down.

"Did everything go alright?" Adam asks with concern.

"I think so." Tim smiles as he brushes Adam's hair back behind his ear.

"So, who was the toothpick that offered himself as a sacrifice to you?" Adam asks crossing his arms over his chest.

Tim had to chuckle at the obvious jealousy that Adam was showing.

"Don't worry your pretty head. His name is Grassi. A new inmate that is trying to impress the warden with a blow job." Tim laughs.

"Disgusting." Adam says, wrinkling his nose.

"Mhmm." Tim hums in agreement as he leans in and kisses Adam softly.

They begin to lay slowly down in the bunk as the kiss turns more passionate. Tim's hands roam over Adam's body as Adam works on unbuttoning Tim's shirt.

Soon they had undressed each other down to their boxers. Locking the world outside the steel bars, they ravished each other with kisses and caressed each other's body.

"God, you're killing me." Tim whispers as Adam nibbles on his neck. Accidently (on purpose) leaving a small hickey on his neck, mainly for Mr. Grassi to see.

Tim rolls Adam over on his back, attacking him with a hungry kiss. His hand roaming down to Adam's butt, caressing it through the thin material of his boxers.

Suddenly, he remembers something that had totally slipped his mind.

"Oh, sh*t." Tim groans, rolling over on his back. Leaving Adam shocked.

"What?" Adam says through a heavy breathing.

"I forgot I have a f*cking exam tomorrow." Tim says, running a hand through his hair.

"In what?" Adam asks, raising up on his elbow.

"Algebra." Tim groans, rubbing his forehead. "It's very important that I pass this."

"Well, then. I guess we need to study." Adam smiles as he kisses Tim's cheek.

"I would much rather continue what we were doing but this is crucial." Tim says with an apologetic smile.

"I know. That's why I'm going to help you pass." Adam says before crawling over Tim. "Now, come on."

"You know, it's going to be hard as hell to concentrate with both of us standing at attention." Tim chuckles, referring to their erections.

"Oh, hush." Adam giggles. "Hand me your notebook, I'll write down some problems for you to work."

Tim picks up his notebook and slightly shields it as he finds an empty page.

"What are you hiding in there?" Adam asks with a smile, knowing exactly what he was hiding.

Tim only blushes slightly as he hands the notebook to Adam. The notebook was turned well past the doodling and the drawing.

"You're gonna ace this test." Adam smiles. They had been working on into the night to the point where Tim had caught on to his simple mistakes and was now getting every problem right.

"I just hope I don't forget everything." Tim says, laying back on his bunk, his mind totally exhausted.

"Well, you need to get some sleep so you'll be well rested." Adam says, rubbing Tim on the stomach.

"You sleeping down here?" Tim asks, with a hopeful look in his eyes.

"On one condition." Adam replies.

"And what's that?" Tim says, reaching out and rubbing Adam's back.

"That you go right to sleep. Cause you are gonna need a rested mind for that test." Adam answers.

"I promise, as long as you cuddle with me." Tim smiles.

"It would be my pleasure." Adam smiles.

~~

Adam opens his eyes to see Tim already up and dressed, brushing his hair.

"What time is your test?" Adam yawns and stretches.

"In about twenty minutes." Tim answers, glancing over his shoulder. "I'm so f*cking nervous."

"Don't be. You'll do just fine." Adam says, getting out of bed and wrapping his arms around Tim from the back, kissing him on the shoulder.

"Just wish I had the confidence you do." Tim chuckles as he turns around in Adam's arms and kisses him.

"Tim? You ready?" Chance asks from the cell door, holding the shackles in his hand.

"Ready as I'll ever be, I guess." Tim says holding out his arms to be shackled.

"Good luck." Adam says, kissing him on the cheek.

~~

Chance knows lightly on the warden's door.

"Come in." They hear the warden and Chance opens the door. The warden was sitting in his chair watching the inmates below.

Tim looks around but doesn't see Mr. Dicaprio, the man that has been giving him his exams.

"Where's Mr. Dicaprio?" Tim asks.

Clooney turns around in his chair with a smirk on his face.

"Uh, he won't be coming." Clooney smiles.

"What do you mean, he won't be coming? I have an exam today." Tim states with a confused look.

"Nope, I truly hate to inform you, Mr. Foust, that your testing has been canceled. Permanently." Clooney grins as he leans over on his desk.

"You can't do that." Chance says.

"Oh, but I did, Mr. Chance." Clooney chuckles. "Don't f*ck with me, Foust."

"YOU SON OF A B*TCH!" Tim shouts as he grabs Clooney by the shirt collar. Tim was shackled but Clooney had leaned a bit too close making it possible for Tim to reach him.

"TIM! NO!" Chance yelled as Tim begin to pull Clooney over his desk.

"GET THIS CRAZY *SSHOLE OFF ME, CHANCE!!" Clooney screams.

Chance finally manages to pry the two mean apart and starts to pull Tim toward the door.

"YOU'LL PAY FOR THIS MOTHER F*CKER!!" Tim yells as Chance practically has to drag the fighting inmate from the office.

Clooney sits back down in his chair and raises a shaking hand up to his throat.

Adam jumps up from the bunk and rushes over to the cell door when he hears a huge commotion.

Chance and Rob were pulling a very angry Tim toward the cell.

"What the hell?" Avi questions as he hurries to his cell door.

"I'LL KILL YOU!! YOU COCK SUCKER!!" Tim's voice rang out throughout the cell block.

"SHUT THE HELL UP, TIM!!" Chance says as he tries to unlock the door.

Adam slowly steps back from the cell door in shock.

Rob quickly unshackles Tim and they shove him inside the cell quickly locking the door.

"CALM YOUR ASS DOWN!" Chance yells.

Adam backs as far as he could against the wall. He had seen Tim mad before but nothing like this.

"AaHHHHH!!" Tim screams out in anger as he runs over to the dresser. Swiping his hand across the dresser knocking all his books into the floor.

"Maybe you should get Adam out of there." Avi says as he reaches through the bars and grabs Chance's arm.

"I don't think Adam is in any danger." Chance says, shaking his head.

"YOU B*STARD!!" Tim screams, picking up one of his books and throwing it at the cell door.

Adam takes a hard swallow as he begins to inch toward Tim.

"Tim? Sweetie, you need to calm down, alright?" Adam says in a soft voice. "Please tell me what happened.

"HE CAN'T DO THIS TO ME, ADAM!!" He screams in Adam's face.

"Okay. Okay. But you need to calm down." Adam says reaching slowly out and taking Tim by the wrists.

"TURN LOOSE OF ME, ADAM!" Tim shouts as he tries to jerk his arms out of Adam's grip.

"I SAID! CALM DOWN!" Adam yells, using all his strength to push Tim hard against the wall.

The hard shove against the wall seemed to bring Tim out of his hysteria.

They stood and stared at each other for a few seconds before tears begin to fill Tim's eyes.

"He can't do this to me, Adam." Tim whispers, his voice breaking.

"Tell me. What did he do?" Adam asks softly.

"Clooney canceled my GED testing permanently. After I've studied so hard. I made Jack a promise, Adam. And now I can't do it." Tim whispers as a tear rolls down his cheek.

"Shhhh." Adam says as he gently wipes away the tear. He didn't want any of the other prisoners to know of Tim's breakdown.

Adam pulls him into a hug. Tim buries his face in Adam's neck and sobs quietly.

"We'll fight this, Baby. We'll fight this with everything that we have." Adam whispers as he rubs Tim on the back of the head.

"But how?" Tim asks raising up, quickly wiping his eyes.

"We'll get in touch with the Governor. Clooney can not stop anyone from trying to further his education. He just can't." Adam says as he brushes back Tim's hair.

"Chance is good friends with Governor McKellen. He's like an old family friend." Tim says.

"See? We have an ace up our sleeve." Adam smiles as he kisses Tim softly.

"Knock, knock. Is it safe to come in?" Chance chuckles as he, Avi and Rob stand outside the cell door.

"Yeah, I guess I'm through throwing my tantrum." Tim says.

"Wow, what a mess." Avi says, looking at the books thrown on the floor.

Tim notices that the four was staring at something on the floor.

He looks around, his eyes widening. There laying on the floor was his notebook. The picture that he drew of Adam was facing up for the world to see.

"Oh d*mn." He mumbles. "If my day couldn't get any worse."

Adam bends down and picks up the notebook.

"Tim, this is awesome. I didn't know you could draw." Adam says. "Is there any more?"

"Adam, don't." Tim says reaching for the notebook but it was too late.

Adam stares down at the doodles.

"F*ck." Tim groans, sitting down on his bunk, resting his head in the palms of his hand.

Chance, Avi and Rob looks at each other and smiles.

Adam sits down slowly beside Tim.

"I'm so embarrassed." Tim says into his hands.

"Don't be." Adam smiles.

"It's so childish or something a teenage girl would do." Tim says.

"It shows me that you really care about me." Adam says.

"We'll leave you two lovebirds alone." Chance chuckles.

"Wait, Chance, I need to ask you something." Tim says looking up quickly. "I need your help."

"If I can." Chance says walking over to the bunks.

"You're good friends with Governor McKellen, right?" Tim asks.

"Yeah, he and my dad were best of friends. As a matter of fact, I call him Uncle Ian." Chance smiles.

"Well, you think you might be able to talk to him about my situation. About Clooney stopping my GED course." Tim asks. "Maybe see if he'll meet with me or something?"

"Sure, I'd be more than happy to." Chance says with a smile, patting Tim on the shoulder. "Gotta go make my rounds. See y'all later."

"See ya, guys." Avi waves following Chance out of the cell.

"Guess I need to get busy too." Rob says.

"See. Things are going to work out fine. Don't worry." Adam smiles. "Now, help me clean up YOUR mess."

"Truthfully, I don't even remember doing this." Tim says as he begins to pick the books up from the floor.

"You were blinded by anger." Adam says.

"I know it's early but I'm ready to go to bed. My head is pounding." Tim says, stacking the last of the books on the dresser.

Adam lays down in Tim's bunk and moves over next to the wall.

"Come mere, I know it's been a very rough day for you." Adam says holding out his arms inviting Tim to cuddle.

Tim lays down, resting his head on Adam's chest.

Adam gently massages Tim's temples in an attempt to ease his headache. Within a few minutes Tim was fast asleep.
