Title: The Man of The House
Author: Jaxson K.
Pairing: Don/Adam, Adam/Hawkes
Disclaimer: 'I own nothing, just visiting friends'

Here Don was once again alone. He knew Adam was out on the town again, but there wasn't a damn thing he could do about it. Tonight was going to be different because Don was considering doing wrong himself. And it was all because Adam couldn't find his way home anymore.

Don took particular care with his appearance tonight. He was wearing one of the tightest pairs of jeans he owned coupled with a very nice blue cashmere sweater that complimented his eyes. He knew he looked hot, and that's what he was aiming for. Adam wasn't the only heartthrob in the house.

Don decided to go to some of the clubs he used to go to before he settled down with Adam, just to get a feel of what was going on. When he got to Rush, he stopped and went in. It was just as he remembered and that made him feel a bit more at ease.

The ease turned into anger and hurt when Don realized what he was seeing. Right there in front of him was Adam sharing a very intimate moment with none other than Sheldon Hawkes!

When Adam looked up and saw Don, he felt his heart skip a beat. He knew Don would find out, but he didn't want it to be like this. Don never said a word to the pair. He just nodded his head, turned, and walked away. He was on his way out when he felt a hand on his arm. He turned, looked at Adam, shook his head no, pulled his arm free and left the club.

Don went home, packed a bag, and left Adam a note on the table by the front door. When Adam staggered in around dawn, he saw the note and opened it.

Adam,

          This is what happens when you don't take care of what you have at home. When you stagger in tonight and find me gone, it's because the man of the house was never home.
