Tree Hill was a safe quiet town. People rarely locked their doors and because of that, Lucas got an eyeful when he showed up at Nathan’s apartment on Saturday morning, wanting to clear the air about his almost gay confession last night. It was a little after ten and Lucas could hear music playing as he approached his brother’s apartment. He knocked once, but when Nathan didn’t answer, he just assumed his brother couldn’t hear him over the music.
He turned the knob and entered the untidy apartment. Lucas looked around and smiled. He decided if things went well, he’d stick around and help his messy brother clean up. Nathan wasn’t in the living room. The music was coming from somewhere else. Lucas walked down the short corridor to the bedroom and nearly came close to being hospitalized again. Nathan was standing in front of his full length mirror, in his birthday suit, gyrating to Shakira’s The Hips Don’t Lie.
Lucas knew he should back away, head for the front door, do a full out run back to his home. He knew he should do anything but what he was currently doing, which was staring at his brother’s lean frame as he wiggled to the beat. Nathan was so busy watching himself in the mirror that he didn’t notice Lucas standing there with his tongue dragging the floor.
Nathan did a little spin and came face to face with his older sibling. Startled he let out a shriek and then instinctively covered his dick. His face was beet red. Lucas was pretty sure his own face was equally flushed, having witnessed moves that would put Shakira herself to shame.
“Sorry,” Lucas held his hands up and backed away. He headed down the hall humiliated.
“Luke,” Nathan called after him.
Lucas stopped in his tracks but didn’t dare turn around. He was pretty sure Nathan hadn’t had enough time to actually put clothes on.
“Nate, I’m sorry. I should have knocked.”
“How long have you been standing there?”
Lucas couldn’t tell if his brother was angry by the tone of his voice but he figured he’d go for the honesty approach anyway.
“A few minutes,” he answered, still afraid to turn around.
“What did you think?”
Of all the things Lucas was expecting to come out of his brother’s mouth, this was not even close to being one of them.
“Um…you were…the dance was…it was hot.” Lucas hung his head down, groaning internally. He prayed to floor would open up and swallow him whole.
There was silence and Lucas thought it best to face his pummeling head on. He turned around slowly and was overjoyed to see that Nathan had managed to pull on a pair of boxers and he was smiling.
“Hot huh,” he smirked.
“I mean…if you’re into that sort of thing,” Lucas shrugged.
“Are you?”
Lucas was momentarily lost. “Am I what?” He asked squinting.
“Into that sort of thing?”
“Look Nate, about last night…”
“You know, whenever someone tells me those words, it usually means I’m about to get dumped.”
“I’m not dumping you,” Lucas insisted before really thinking about what he’d just said. “I mean, if we were…what I’m trying to say is…”
“It’s cool Luke. I mean if you’re into guys, it’s cool.” Nathan said seriously.
“I’m not,” Lucas defended. “I mean, I never really thought about it.”
“Tim thought about it.” Nathan blurted out.
“Are you trying to put me back in the hospital?” Lucas joked, clutching his heart.
Nathan grinned. “I just mean it didn’t bother me. You know his parents sent him to one of those gay reeducation schools. They’re trying to scare him straight I think.“
“And it doesn’t bother you that people might find out your best friend is gay?“ Lucas couldn’t believe they were having this conversation.
“Actually, you should be the one concerned.“ Nathan flashed a mischievous smile but Lucas took the bait and asked why anyway,
“I’ll bite. Why would Tim being gay concern me?“
Nathan slithered past Lucas whispering in his ear as he passed. “Because he was so into you.“
Lucas wasn’t sure what his body was responding to; the fact that Tim was gay and liked him or the sexy way Nathan had delivered the news.
“So you two spent your evenings sipping tea and discussing how hot I am,“ Lucas joked nervously.
“It was beer actually,“ Nathan said, putting on water for coffee. “Did you eat yet?“
Lucas furrowed his brow. He wanted to ask a dozen questions, but each one he thought of lead down a path he didn’t dare tread.
“No,“ he said, moving to the other side of the counter and sitting on one of the stools.
“Bacon, eggs and toast?“ Nathan asked, as if he hadn’t just practically admitted he and Tim were gay.
“Sounds great,“ Lucas said hurriedly, not wanting true confessions time to end.
“So were you and Tim…“
“Just friends Luke,“ Nathan said firmly.
“Oh..”
“He talked about you all the time. Sometimes I wanted to smack him.”
“To protect my virtue?”
Nathan blushed and Lucas saw a flash of something in his brother’s eyes.
“Something like that.” Nathan conceded.
“Like you did last night,” Lucas added. His brother bristled a second before stopping what he was doing and giving Lucas his undivided attention.
“We’re brothers,” Nathan said firmly. “It’s only natural I’d try to protect you.”
“I can take care of myself. I don’t need your protection; I need your trust.”
“I do trust you,” Nathan insisted.
“Then why didn’t you come to me about Dante,” Lucas demanded.
“I…I was trying to protect you. Look Lucas,” Nathan said, moving closer to his brother, “Dante threatened to hurt you, I couldn’t let that happen.”
When his hands reached up and clutched Lucas’s shoulders, the blond teen willed himself not to shiver from the touch.
“I’m the older brother, remember? I’m supposed to look after you. I mean, if you were having trouble with money and bills, I would have…”
“What? Robbed a bank for me?”
“Moved in with you, shared expenses.”
“You’d live with me?”
Lucas resisted the urge to tell him other things he’d do with him and simply nodded.
“What about Karen?”
“I think she’s happy living where she is,” Lucas said straight faced before cracking a smile.
“Cute,” Nathan smirked.
“I get that a lot,” Lucas shot back cheekily.
“I bet you do.”
Nathan’s face flushed and he dropped his hands instantly. “What I meant…”
“It’s okay Nate. Now I don’t feel so bad for calling your dance hot.”
Both boys smiled at each other awkwardly before trying to find a way to change the subject quickly. Nathan spoke first.
“I better get cracking on this breakfast.”
Lucas watched contentedly as Nathan moved around the small kitchenette. He imagined what it would be like to wake up every morning and find his brother preparing their morning meal. He imagined what it would be like to wake up every morning next to Nathan.
