"Jay what the crap are you doin down there?" Adam yelled from the top of the stairs leading to the basement of the home he shared in North Carolina with his long time lover and friend Jay. "We were fuckin supposed to leave 15 minutes ago!"

Down in the far corner of their damp, unfurnished basement, Jay's head whipped around and angrily he glared in the direction of the stairs. "YOU AIN'T FUCKIN' SUPPOSED TO BE DOWN HERE JACKASS! YOU'RE GONNA RUIN YOUR PRESENT!" Quickly he hurried over to the spout and turned off the water to the hose he had hooked up. Then reaching down he shut off the generator throwing the basement into silence except for the Britney Spears CD that had been playing non-stop for the last week. Hurrying up the stairs Jay pushed Adam back and locked the basement door putting the chain with the only key back around his neck.

"Gimmie like 5 minutes to change and I'll be ready," Jay said hurrying off to their bedroom to change ignoring Adam's growl of frustration. Irritated Adam stomped through the house following Jay and plopped down on the bed to watch him change. "Jeff called today," Adam said absentmindedly having almost forgotten that their friend had called.

"Anyone found Matt yet?" Jay asked concerned as he stripped off his clothes and hurried into the bathroom to run a damp washcloth over his sweaty body. "No," Adam replied smiling as he watched his naked lover. They had been together since before they were even considered adults, but somehow Adam never got tired of looking at Jay's beautiful body. "Maybe we should just call and say we can't come."

Shaking his head Jay pulled a brush quickly through his tangled golden locks. Then deciding he wasn't doing much good just pulled it all up on top of his head on a ponytail smirking because he knew it would annoy Adam. Sure enough when he walked out Adam growled with annoyance, but Jay just ignored him as he went to their closet to select an outfit. "Adam we have to go. Shannon and Shane have had this planned forever remember? Joey and Christian are gonna be there. Raven and PJ are flying in… We have to go!"

Sighing Adam knew Jay was right, but somehow at that moment all he wanted was to stay there on the bed with Jay for the rest of the night. Turning his head Jay looked at Adam and seeing the familiar look in his eye walked over and lingered over a kiss before walking back to the closet. "Later Am, I swear." Again Adam sighed knowing that Jay was right, but wished that for once he wasn't. "So what about Matt?" Jay asked again and Adam shook his head. "You known no one has heard from him yet. I always said I wished that Matt would just fall off the face of the earth, but I never actually thought he would."

Jay nodded understanding completely. Matt's disappearance had come as a surprise to them all. "How's Jeffy taking it?" Jay asked softly trying to sound nonchalant, but Adam smiled. He was well aware of the growing attraction his lover had for the Carolina daredevil. He knew that he should be upset or feel threatened, but he and Jay had been together and weathered too much for that. If there was one constant in his life that Adam trusted it was Jay and besides that Adam liked Jeff a lot too and wouldn't mind having him share their bed occasionally.

"Jeffy is… well you know," Adam said rubbing a hand over his face. "Him and Matt have always had this strange love hate relationship. I mean granted it has been mostly hate lately, but… he's still his brother ya know."

"He must be devastated," Jay murmured and Adam snorted. "According to Shannon Jeff is having a harder time with the fact that he doesn't miss Matt than the fact that Matt is missing."

Jay smiled and pulled on a pair of worn jeans and an old E and C T-shirt before grabbing a pair of rubber soled boots. Stopping at the dresser he grabbed a pair of heavy socks then sat on the bed next to Adam as he finished dressing. "Well I am glad Jeff is taking this so well, but Am I've been thinking… you know maybe we should invite Jeff to stay with us for awhile."

Adam arched an eyebrow wondering what justification Jay was going to come up with. "I mean, Shannon and Shane are practically attached at the hip since Shane confessed his love and Joey and Christian are forever off at some Indy show and well we are his friends. He needs us."

"You just want in his pants and are using Matt's disappearance as your ticket," Adam snickered and Jay pouted unhappily. "Is that what you think? That all I want is to be FUCKED by Jeff Hardy?" Adam frowned as Jay got up and began pacing furiously around the room.

"WHAT THE FUCK!?" Jay shouted. "After all these goddamn years you don't know me better than THAT?! I mean yeah I want him but…" Disgusted Jay threw up his hands and marched out of the room with Adam running behind him. "Jay come on," Adam whined.

Turning Jay shot Adam a hot glare and removed the key from around his neck before marching to the basement door. "You know Adam, I get tired of taking crap from you. Despite what you think I am not some motherfucking shallow bitch who thinks of nothing but his own self interests! I will admit that I want Jeff, but I ain't attracted to him because of the hole in his ass! And if that is all you think of me well… maybe you should go to Shann's alone!" Jay walked into the basement and slammed the door shut, locking it behind him.

Adam stood looking at the door dumbfounded then, running a hand through his hair, went to the phone and called Shane. When his friend answered Adam whiningly told him what had happened. "What the crap?" Adam said. "What do I do now! I mean I wanna come. It ain't my fault that Jay is being a baby."

On the other end of the phone Shane rolled his eyes and wondered for the millionth time why Jay put up with Adam's crap. "Look man if ya wanna come then do it." Nodding Adam smiled and assured Shane he would be there soon before slamming down the phone and running out of the house. Wincing Shane hung up the phone on his end and turning, saw Jeff watching him. "Jay ain't coming. Adam screwed up again."

Sighing Jeff tried to hide his disappointment and turning headed into the kitchen with some vaguely thought up excuse of dinner preparations. Jeff knew that it was wrong but Jay was the one he wanted to see. Adam was.. alright in little bits, but Jay was… Standing across the room Shane, who had followed Jeff into the room, shook his head seeing the smile on Jeff's face and knew he was thinking of Jay. It seemed that it was the only time he was happy these days. Hopefully Jay would get over it and join them later.

Down in the basement of his home Jay shut off the Britney Spears CD he'd been blaring for the last week and, selecting a nice Biohazard CD he'd borrowed from Jeffy, put it in and turned towards his surprise. In the dark damp corner of the basement between Adam's workbench and the shelves was Matt Hardy. Tied up, wet, and slightly fried. Jay's eyes glittered angrily as he stared at the worthless waste of humanity that was his prisoner. He had run a garden hose from the sink they had down there and hung it over Matt's head so that the water would soak him when it was turned on.

He's stood Matt in a laundry basket with a hold cut out and a small pipe put into the bottom connecting to the drain in the basement floor. Then next to the work bench he'd put a heavy duty generator and hooked up a couple of jumper cables to it. Matt's eyes followed him around the room as Jay turned the water back on and started the generator. Helpless, as Jay had him safely secured so that he couldn't go anywhere, he was forced to watch and wait for whatever Jay had planned now.

"You know Matty," Jay sneered, "You just ain't very bright."

"If you are gonna fuck a man who is in a relationship maybe you should pick one that isn't with someone he's known most of his life! You know I can tell you the day of each time you have fucked Adam. Wanna know how?"

Turning Jay put on a pair of long heavy welding gloves and picked up the jumper cables. Grinning Jay actually chuckled making the hair stand up on the back of Matt's neck. He'd always thought Jay was somewhat of a freak, but somehow he suddenly realized that he had majorly underestimated the blonde that he'd labeled as a brainless twink. "Adam has been fucking around on me for YEARS. He has less sense of fidelity and commitment than you do, but see I don't care because he gives me anything I want and in a couple months… I'll be able to ditch his worthless ass."

"I found someone else Matty. Which is really bad news for you because for one you are standing in my way, and two well… you hurt him. Jeffy is… well simply amazing. I know you all think I am just a fuck toy, but believe it or not I do have feelings and right now they are centered around YOUR brother. BAD break Matty since you're the major source of the most of his pain and angst. THEN when I figured out WHO Adam was fucking around with well… SHIT that was the icing on the cake!"

"I see confusion in your eyes Matty," Jay giggled touching the jumper cables to Matt's chest laughing as his body jerked. "You wanna know how I figured you out right?" As far as Matt was concerned there should be nothing but panic in his eyes but the rag in his mouth prevented him from uttering his denial. "See Adam is nothing if not predictable. He starts one of these fucking affairs every couple of months. He thinks I don't know… riiiiiiiiiight. The sudden increase in worry about my feelings and the sweet attitude I get from him isn't any kind of a tip off considering that the rest of the time he is an egotistical asshole."

Again Jay touched the metal to Matty's skin bouncing with excitement as Matt's body jerked and his eyes began to roll back in his head. "No, no, no, no Matty not just yet. This is not your time to die." Matt would have pleaded, screamed, anything if he could, but slowly his brain was shutting down. Already it was hard to follow Jay's ramblings. He could feel something running down his leg and tried to tell himself that it was just water from the hose even though it was warm in contrast to the coldness of the water over his head. His vision was blurry and he couldn't tell anymore if it was from tears or if his sight was going. It was getting hard to breathe and he was getting weak fast.

Smiling Jay stepped back and surveyed his work. Matt had angry burn marks all over his chest and face from various sessions in the last week. Feeling extremely better Jay decided that maybe he could forgive Adam… after all he'd been going to see Jeff. Leaving the generator on Jay set the cables aside and bounced up the stairs totally forgetting Matt's existence.

Quickly he sped to Shannon's house stopping only to get flowers for his beloved Jeffy. He was upset about Matty after all and Jay wanted to do something to cheer him up. Walking on cloud nine, once he reached the house Jay bounced right in without even knocking and smiled as he heard the noises in the house. From the sounds coming from the family room someone was playing video games, but smelling the food Jay knew exactly where he'd find Jeffy. Happily he bounced to the kitchen only to get the shock of his life. There standing with his arms over his head was Adam securing Jeff's hands while they kissed as if the were the last two people on earth.

Jay's world suddenly shrunk as the flowers slipped out of his hand and fell to the ground. He didn't see the pots on the stove or Sugar's hand placed on his shoulder. He didn't hear the shouts coming from Christian behind them or the whimper that came from his own shocked throat. All that existed was his beloved in the arms of Adam. Hearing the others Adam broke the kiss and quickly turned with a guilty look on his face only to feel like he'd been punched at the sight of Jay.

"Jay Jay," Adam whispered and reached for him only to get punched by Shane who had secretly been hoping that Jay would leave Adam and make Jeff happy finally. Jeff on the other hand was in total shock. Feeling as if time was stopping Jeff saw everything. He saw Shane fighting with Adam. He heard Christian and Joey cussing. He saw the flowers scattered on the floor and because he knew his friend knew they'd been meant for him. But it was the hurt and betrayal on Jay's face that did him in. He hadn't meant to do it. Hell didn't even know how it had happened.

He'd gone over to the cabinet to get a spice for the pasta sauce and when he turned Adam attacked before Jeff could even think. Jeff opened his mouth to speak but no words came and his jaw shut. He held out a hand again trying to do… something, but all that happened is Jay turned and ran shoving his way past the others. The loss of Jay's presence snapped him back to reality and forgetting everything but his heart's desire Jeff ran after him grabbing Shane's car keys off the peg by the front door.

He vaguely heard the others following but didn't think about waiting as he raced after Jay praying he could get his brain to function enough to find a way to make it up when he caught him. Jeff didn't even realize he was going to Jay and Adam's house 'til he got there, the others right behind him. Sugar's bumper slammed into Jay's, but Jeff didn't even notice as he leapt from the car and ran into the house with Adam running after him. Entering through the kitchen Jeff saw the basement door open and heard Jay's voice screaming at someone… something and without thinking followed, not hearing Adam's shouted warning of, "We're NOT ALLOWED DOWN THERE!" Reaching the bottom of the steps Jeff finally stopped running shocked at what he saw.

"YOU GODDAMN MOTHERFUCKING SON OF A BITCH!" Jay raged almost insanely at this point. "I WON'T LET YOU HAVE HIM!" Pushed beyond all reason Jay grabbed one of the jumper cables and attached it to Matt's cock yanking the gag out of his mouth. "SCREAM MOTHERFUCKER SCREAM!" When Matt opened his mouth to do so Jay shoved the other cable into his mouth watching the captive fry.

"NEVER AGAIN YOU WORTHLESS MOTHERFUCKER! Never again will I let you hurt MY JEFF! MINE DO YOU HEAR ME MINE! I LOVE HIM! You… you and that godforsaken worthless maggot of mine have no concept of that word. BUT HE DOES AND I WILL MAKE SURE HE GETS WHAT HE DESERVES!"

Growling softly Jay spotted a large claw hammer on the wall and grabbed it turning it so that the claw was facing forward. "Just like you Matty," Jay whispered as Matt's fried before his eyes. "I'm gonna make sure you get what you deserve too. This is for Jeffy you worthless son of a bitch!" Screaming at the top of his lungs Jay swung the hammer and hit Matt with the claw as hard as he could. Seeing the large gash it put in Matt's chest Jay tore the claw out and swung again, screaming rambling rants as he beat Matt over and over until his chest was a crushed mess and Jay was covered in splattered blood.

His chest heaving Jay dropped the hammer and put his hands on his knees hanging his head. Startled when he heard the water stop Jay stood and twirled locking eyes with a grinning Sugar standing at the sink. "Damn you Canadians are pissy ain't ya?"

Jay fought a grin as he slowly turned seeing Christian, Joey, even Adam before braving a look at the sprite next to him. Turning his eyes on Jeff he didn't miss the splatters of blood on him or the tears running down his face… instinctively Jay knew they weren't tears of pain. "I did it for you Jeffy," Jay whispered. "HE ain't gonna make you miserable no more."

A sweet smile slowly crossed Jeff's face as he looked from his brother's charred and bloody body to his new beloved. "Ah… Ah'm sorra. Ah didn' mean ta kiss… I didn' even mean ta…" Jay smiled and put a finger over Jeff's lips. "It's ok Jeffy. I know who's responsible for that kiss." Walking over to Matt's body Jay turned off the generator and pulled the cable off Matt's cock then tore the charred organ from the dead man's body. Turning he took Jeff's hand and led him towards the stairs. Spotting Shane again he giggled and said, "Hey I uhh worked up an appetite. YA think you still got dinner left?"

Shane smiled big and hurried up the stairs with everyone but Adam going up with him. Adam stood at the bottom watching Jay sadly. "Baby," he started but Jay just smiled sweetly and shushed him. "Don't Am it's ok."

Walking over Jay held out the cock until Adam finally took it. Grinning Jay said, "You wanted him? He's all yours!" Then Jay and Jeff walked up the stairs laughing as Adam gaped at his dead boyfriend. Falling to his knees Adam's eyes roamed around the room as he tried to decide what to do now. His gaze landed on Matt and as if hypnotized he got up and walked to the sink turning the water back on. After turning the generator back on he stepped into the tub pressing his clothed body against Matt's corpse.

Reaching down he took the cable from the tub and removed the other from Matt's mouth. "You said forever," he whispered before grabbing the metal ends as the water sprayed over him. From the top of the stairs Jay and Jeff watched smiling. "It worked out better than you planned," Jeff said smiling and Jay led Jeff up the final step where he locked the door and pulled his beloved into his arms. "Yes it did."

The End!
