Adam rolls over in their small cot to slide his arm around his lover but finds him gone. Rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he raises up and looks at the wind-up clock sitting on their dresser. The time read two-thirty in the morning.

He sees his fiance standing at the door of their cell, staring out at the other dark cells. His mind seemed to be a million miles away as he slowly smokes a cigarette.

Adam quietly gets out of bed and walks up behind Tim and slowly slides his arms around his waist. Softly kissing him on the shoulder.

"Penny for your thoughts." Adam whispers.

Tim only shakes his head as he continues to stare out into the darkness.

"Listen, Hot Rod, you are going to be my husband in a couple of days. Don't start keeping secrets from me now." Adam says as he lays his chin on Tim's shoulder.

"I'm so sorry that I can't give you more." Tim says softly.

"What?" Adam asks. "What are you talking about?"

"I'm sorry that I can't give you a nice home, a normal life. You deserve so much more than what I can give you." Tim says.

"Whoa. Stop right there, Timothy." Adam says as he turns his lover around to face him. "I don't need a nice home and I've never had a 'normal' life so I don't care about that. All I need in my life is you. You've given me so much and you don't even realize it. You gave me the courage to stand up for myself. You've given me your love, your body and soon, your last name. And only the good Lord knows just how many times you've saved my life. Sure, I had a chance to get out of here but I would have been leaving the most precious thing in my life. I couldn't deal with that. No amount of money or even a fine house was worth losing you. I'm right where I want to be. With you. I have never been happier."

"You're crazy." Tim smiles as he blinks back the tears that were burning his eyes.

"Crazy in love with you." Adam smiles as he rubs his thumb across Tim's cheek. "I have all I'll ever need. I have a roof over my head, a bed to sleep in, food in my stomach, the best friends that I could ever hope for, I have my brother but most of all, I have you. I am so blessed."

Tim leans in and tenderly kisses his fiance.

"I love you so much, Bonnie." He whispers into the kiss.

"I love you too, Clyde." Adam smiles. "Let's get some sleep."

Mornings in the shower room is usually the busiest time of the day. So it's not uncommon to walk in to find couples making out, fights, or even interrupt someone being gangbanged. 

But all the prisoners know that when Foust and Rupp are in the shower that they very much want their space. Their space just happens to be the very last shower in the corner of the room. A little bit more privacy. Just in case things heat up during their shower. Not many prisoners shower in that area in fear of getting cornered but it never seems to bother Foust.

"Good morning, Foust." An old black prisoner smiles and nods as he sees the couple walk into the shower room. No one knew his actual name. He'd only introduce himself as 'Red'. 

Red was spending a life sentence for a bank robbery gone bad when he was only twenty-one. He and a friend thought the small bank in their hometown would be an easy target. The robbery doesn't go as plan. A bank security guard shoots and kills his friend. Red panics, shooting and killing the guard and a female teller. No one knew his exact age, only that he was in his seventies. 

Tim had gotten to know Red through Old Jack, Tim's cellmate. Everyone showed Red nothing but respect. He caused no trouble but gained respect for all the years that he had survived inside the cold prison walls.

"Morning, Red." Tim smiles.

"Ready for the big day?" Red asks.

"A little nervous. But excited." Tim answers.

"I remember my big day." Red says as he thinks back. "I married my sweet Rosalee when I turned nineteen. She was so beautiful. An angel in white."

"Forgive me for asking, but is she still living?" Adam asks.

"No, she passed away fifteen years ago in a house fire." Red answers.

"I'm so sorry." Adam says as he hangs his head. He used to enjoy setting things on fire. He could have been the reason that someone like Red lost the love of his life.

Tim seems to read Adam's thoughts and comfortingly rubs his lover on the back.

"Let's go get our shower so we can get something to eat." Tim says softly. "Red, we'll talk to you later."

"Am I invited to the wedding?" Red asks with a smile.

"Well, of course, you are, my friend." Tim smiles and pats Red on the shoulder. 

Red smiles as he watches the couple walk away. His mind goes back to the time when they first brought Foust in. He was scared, literally shaking. Old Jack took a liking to the newcomer immediately. Maybe he had seen himself in the kid, who knows. He took Foust up under his wing, protecting him and teaching him the ways of life within these cold walls.

Red could see a lot of Jack's teachings in Foust. The way he took Rupp up under his wing just as Jack did him. Teaching him how to survive. Through the years, Foust had gained the reputation of a dangerous man. One that was not to be messed with. Rupp was quickly gaining a reputation of his own. A crazy man that wouldn't think twice in slitting someone's throat if you messed with what belongs to him. Foust was his.

Red chuckles quietly and continues his shower. He was proud to call them his friends.

As Tim and Adam walk around the corner, a prisoner that had been showering in 'their spot', quickly grabs his supplies and hurries to the other side of the shower room.

They undress and throw their uniforms in the dirty clothes hamper. Stepping under the warm shower, they immediately shut the world outside. It was only the two of them. Kissing each other softly as they bath one another. Caressing each other's body tenderly as if it were a fragile porcelain doll.

"You are my everything." Adam whispers as he places his hands on each side of Tim's face and gently kisses his lips.

"And you are mine." Tim says softly into the kiss as his hands slide down his lover's back until they reach his butt, pressing their bodies together.

SMACK!!

"SON OF A B*TCH!!" Tim yells out as he grabs his stinging butt cheek. A victim of a towel slap.

Avi was bent over, laughing uncontrollably.

"What the hell was that for?!" Tim asks as he rubs his aching butt cheek.

"Save it for the honeymoon." Avi laughs as he hangs his towel up and steps under the shower next to them. "Hell, you're getting married tomorrow, can't you wait."

"No." The couple answers and then begins to laugh.

"So, do you know what this surprise is that Chance has for us?" Adam asks.

"Yep, I do." Avi answers as he washes his chest.

"You are going to tell us right? You know I don't like surprises." Tim says.

"Pfff, is that suppose to scare me?" Avi chuckles. "I'm not losing Chance's trust."

"Well, I do have to respect you for that." Tim nods as he hands Adam a towel.

"D*mn, Rupp!!" Avi laughs as he notices Adam's semi-erection.

"What?" Adam asks as he dries off.

"Are you part horse? Cause you're definitely hung like one." Avi chuckles.

Tim and Adam look at each other before both glances down at Adam's prick.

"And you're able to take all of that?" Avi asks.

"Every inch of it." Tim answers with a smirk.

"Like a pro." Adam chuckles as he takes Tim by the hand as they walk to wear their clean clothes were hanging.

~~

As the couple walks into the cafeteria, Tim sees Chance, Rob, Ian and Bruce sitting at a table. They were deep in conversation. 

"I'll be right back." Tim tells Adam as they set their trays on their table.

As he walks toward the table where the warden, the Governor and guards were sitting, he notices they suddenly stop talking. 

"Hey, guys. Sorry to interrupt." Tim says.

"That's quite alright. You need something?" Warden Willis asks with a smile.

"As a matter of fact, yeah." Tim nods. "I'd like for Red to be able to come to the wedding if at all possible."

"I don't see any problem with that." The governor answers as he looks around the table. "Do you guys?"

"No, Rob and I can get him when we go to get Avi, Samuel and Hunter." Chance says.

"Great. Thanks." Tim says before turning and heading back over to his table. Glancing over his shoulder, he sees the four men resume talking once he was out of hearing range.

"God, I hate not knowing what they're planning." Tim mumbles as he sits down next to Adam.

"Well, what's the fun in knowing?" Samuel asks as he sips his coffee.

"Do you know?" Adam asks.

"Parts but not all." Samuel smiles. "But don't try to get anything out of me cause it ain't gonna work."

"What about Hunter?" Tim asks.

"Are you kidding? Hunter is the mouth of the south. No one tells him anything." Samuel laughs.

"Sh*t." Tim grumbles as he shovels a fork full of eggs into his mouth.

~~

The couple relaxes in their cell. Adam leaned against the wall as he read a book that he had gotten from the library. Unbeknownst to him, he was being sketched by his fiance who was leaning against the opposite wall. Both were a bit nervous about their wedding tomorrow and were doing anything they could to relax.

Before coming to the prison, Adam was never a huge fan of reading. It was just something that he thought was boring. But due to the time spent with Tim and his love for reading, he too became hooked. 

Adam and Tim looked up from what they were doing as they hear the cell door open. Chance walks in with a smirk on his face followed by Warden Willis, Rob and Avi.

Without saying a word, Chance walks over and calmly takes the book from Adam. He picks up the bookmark and places it inside the book before closing it and laying it aside.

Both Tim and Adam watches with curiosity. Neither has spoken a word.

Chance reaches down and takes hold of one of the blond's arms as Rob takes the other. They pull him up from the bed.

"Care to tell us what is going on?" Tim asks calmly as Adam gives him a puzzled look. 

"It's the night before your wedding." Bruce states.

"Yeah, so?" Tim asks, still holding his tablet and drawing pencil in his hands.

"Tradition is, the night before the wedding the bride and groom or in your case the grooms are supposed to be apart and not see each other until the wedding." Bruce says with a smirk.

"That's bullsh*t." Tim says as he lays down his tablet and begins to stand.

"Wait. Where are you taking me?" Adam says as he begins to resist the guards.

"Relax." Rob says. "We're just taking you over to Avi's cell."

"But where is Avi going?" Adam asks as they lead him from the cell.

Avi grins as he looks around at Foust. "Hi, roomie."

"Oh, hell no!!" Tim says as he starts toward the cell door but it's closed in his face. "CHANCE!!!" Tim yells as he shakes the cell door.

"Good night, Tim." Chance chuckles after locking Adam inside Avi's cell.

"I HATE YOU GUYS!!" Tim yells at the three laughing men as they walk away.

Tim sighs and leans his forehead on the cell door, knowing he had been defeated.

"Wanna play checkers?" Avi asks with a huge grin.
