Chris Keller Scores Again

When Lucas appears at Chris’ door the next day, the older man has not long woken up. He lets Lucas in, yawning. “Morning beautiful.”

“It’s afternoon actually.” Lucas points out. “Do you remember what you said last night?”

Chris laughs and collapses on his sofa. “Yeah, I got a bit carried away.”

“Starting to regret it maybe?” Lucas has to test the water…he really doesn’t want to fall for drunken ramblings just to be disappointed the next day.

Chris stretches and pats the sofa, waiting for Lucas to join him. “Chris Keller never regrets what he says, only who he does.”

“That’s inspiring.” Lucas raises an eyebrow.

“Only want you.” Chris tells him, leaning over to kiss him, softly. “If you still want me?”

Lucas smiles and kisses him back. “That a good enough answer?”

“No, I’m definitely gonna need more.” Chris tells him. “I wanna fuck you so bad.”

Before Chris can lean over and start ravaging him, Lucas presses his hand against his lover’s chest, holding him back. “I’m telling everyone I’m gay. Some of them know about you. That’s okay, right?”

“Baby, I don’t give a shit if you tell my grandmother, I’m so horny my dick’s gonna explode.” Chris warns him.

“Well, if you put it like that…” Lucas smirks, pulling his t-shirt over his head and tossing it aside.

Chris moans as he pushes Lucas down onto the sofa, climbing over him to plant kisses on those beautiful lips. “I’m so hard for you right now.” His hands work furiously on releasing Lucas from his pants, which are soon pulled away and forgotten about as Chris takes Lucas’ semi-erect cock into his mouth.

“Fuck.” Lucas mutters as the sensation hits him off guard. Chris is good in bed, Lucas knows that for a fact, but he had no idea the man’s talents included an incredible tongue. “God, that feels so good!” Lucas whines encouragingly. Lucas can feel his orgasm building already, but before he can get anywhere near coming, Chris stops what he’s doing and climbs off the sofa, leaving Lucas delirious with need. “No, no, no, get back here!” Lucas begs, watching Chris disappear into the bedroom. “Chris!” Lucas resorts to wrapping his fist around his achingly hard cock, but he doesn’t have to wait long before Chris returns, naked and complete with supplies.

“Hey, that’s mine, gets your hands off.” Chris swats Lucas’ hand away as he slides a condom over his dick. He then begins to lube his fingers, slowly inserting one inside his young lover, smirking as Lucas closes his eyes and groans. “See? Worth waiting for.”

“I need you inside me.” Lucas pleads, his hips gently rocking back and forth as Chris slides more fingers inside him, fucking him nice and slowly.

“Anybody ever tell you you can be an impatient child sometimes?” Chris mocks, pulling his fingers away, only to replace them with his cock.

“Chris, fuck me now!” Lucas demands, attempting to reach his own cock once again in order to relieve the desperate need to come.

“I said, no!” Chris teases, not letting Lucas get anywhere near it. “It’ll be worth it, I promise.”

Lucas reluctantly lets Chris have his way, and the moment he does, Chris pushes his cock deep inside Lucas, simultaneously grabbing the younger boy’s erection and expertly jerking him off.

There are no words as Lucas throws his head back; his fists clenching to keep from screaming an endless string of profanities in absolute pleasure.

Chris smirks, feeling rather proud of himself as he thrusts back into the boy, aiming directly at his prostate. “You feel that?”

Lucas utters a strangled cry of beautiful torment as he struggles to control himself. The double attack, both inside and out, leaving him unable to form words.

“You’re so beautiful when you’re under me like this.” Chris pants, moaning as Lucas clamps around his dick. Before Chris can say another word, Lucas’ whole body tenses and he comes across his chest, still lost in hazed euphoria as he tries to catch his breath.

Chris is still pounding into the worn out boy when his own orgasm erupts. He grabs Lucas’ hips, angling the last few thrusts back at Lucas’ prostate, causing them both to cry out from the waves of pleasure that hit all at once. By the time Chris is done coming, Lucas is half-passed out from exhaustion and Chris is more than ready to join him.

“That was intense.” Lucas murmurs as Chris lies beside him, breathing hard.

“Glad you enjoyed the Chris Keller experience.” He smiles, feeling a tingling sensation in his stomach as Lucas wraps his arm around Chris’ torso affectionately.

*~*~*~*

“You both don’t have to be here.” Lucas points out as Haley and Nathan wait with him for his mom to finally lock the café. “I can do this alone.”

“We know!” Haley assures him. “But we really want to be here for you.”

“What’s with all the ‘we’ stuff?” Lucas quickly picks up on the atmosphere between his best friend and his brother.

Haley flashes Nathan a smile, which is quickly reciprocated. “We talked some things over and…we’re giving things another chance.” She tells Lucas, excitedly.

“Oh, this is so great!” Lucas cheers, happily. “It’s about time!”

Nathan can’t stop smiling. “Thanks, man.”

“Are you three sticking around? I’m locking up now.” Karen asks them, heading to the door with a key.

Lucas stands up, awkwardly. “I need to talk to you about something.”

“Okay…” Karen begins, locking the door. “Private or…?”

“I need you and Keith to hear this.” Lucas tells her, looking over to the counter where Keith is waiting.

He looks over and frowns. “Something wrong, Luke?”

“Nathan and Haley already know.” Lucas informs them, dancing around the subject in the hopes someone will say it for him. They don’t, so he tries another approach. “I’m seeing somebody.”

They exchange looks, Keith getting off his chair and walking over to stand beside Karen. “Look, whatever’s wrong, you can tell us.” Keith assures him.

“Oh God, is she pregnant?” Karen asks, fearfully.

Nathan can’t help but laugh, which he quickly disguises as a cough. Badly. Haley hits his arm as a warning.

“I’m seeing a guy.” Lucas says finally.

There’s a collective silence. All expressions are unreadable, so Lucas doesn’t know whether to continue explaining or just let it sink in.

Finally, Keith speaks. “Well, that’s great…!”

Karen looks at Keith, blankly, before looking back at Lucas. “You’re telling us that you’re gay?”

Lucas nods, biting his lip out of nervous habit. “Yeah.”

“I wasn’t expecting that…” Karen says, seemingly lost in thought, trying to process the information. “Uh, is it anyone I know? This…guy? That you’re…seeing?”

Lucas can’t remember if his mom has had the pleasure of meeting Chris, but he’s sure she knows who he is. And that she’s only heard bad things. He sighs, not really wanting this to get out. He has no idea how long their relationship is going to last and the last thing he needs is for it to become public knowledge just for it to end badly. But then he remembers that feeling of having Chris in his arms, talking about being exclusive. He looks up at them, biting back the nerves and just saying it. “It’s Chris Keller.”

Karen’s eyes widen in shock. “Haley’s Chris?”

Nathan resents the implication, but keeps his mouth shut, knowing he has no right to complain.

“Yeah.” Lucas admits. “I didn’t mean for it to happen, but…it did. And I know it’s a shock and you don’t know what to say, but…”

“I know what to say.” Karen argues. “I say it’s a bad idea. You know how much trouble this boy has caused in the past. Do you really think it’s a good idea getting involved with him?”

“It’s okay, Karen, I already did this part.” Nathan tells her. “I don’t trust Chris either, but for some reason he seems to be behaving himself.”

“Yeah, well he better!” Keith warns. “So, uh…who is he again?”

“Why don’t you invite him over sometime?!” Haley suggests, her enthusiasm going unrivalled.

“Bad idea.” Lucas shakes his head at her.

Nathan laughs. “Very bad idea.”

“Lucas, you’ll be careful, won’t you?” Karen begs him. “I want you to be happy, but…don’t rush into anything.”

“I’m being very careful, mom.” Lucas replies. “And I’ve got Nathan watching my back, ready to kill Chris if he steps out of line, he’s already promised that much…”

Nathan nods in agreement, looking pleased with himself.

Karen finally smiles and goes to hug Lucas, Keith joining them. Lucas holds them both tight, relieved that in their own way, Karen and Keith support him. It’s all he could ask for.

*~*~*~*

The day that Brooke hands over the keys to Nathan and Haley’s apartment, Haley invites Chris and Lucas round for a few drinks. Lucas has to beg Chris to come, but as they’ve spent every waking minute together for the past week or so, it doesn’t take much persuading.

Lucas and Chris are now officially a couple and, thanks to Brooke’s big mouth, the whole town know.

“Telling Peyton was easy enough, she’s happy for me. Brooke was difficult.” Lucas breaks off. They all know exactly how well Brooke took it, because it’s all they’ve heard about for days.

“Well, I think it’s great!” Haley tells him for the thousandth time. “You two are so cute together.”

“Hey! Chris Keller isn’t cute.” Chris points out, grabbing a can of Sunkist out of the fridge without asking.

Lucas laughs and shakes his head in amusement. “Hales, anyone would think you have a thing for two guys getting it on.”

“Lucas thinks I’m a faghag.” Haley pouts, cuddling Nathan on the couch.

Chris throws Nathan a knowing smile. “Oh Haley, you have no idea.”

Lucas catches the daggers Nathan throws at Chris. “What’s that supposed to mean?” He asks, without even meaning to.

Haley hasn’t caught on, she looks confusedly at Lucas. “We’re just joking around.”

“I know you are.” Lucas tells Haley, still staring at Chris. “But that’s not the first time you’ve said something weird like that, Chris.”

Chris laughs nervously, shrugging it off. “I always say weird things. It’s part of my charm.”

Nathan’s heart stops. He wants so badly to turn the conversation around, but the words just aren’t coming out.

“You’re hiding something. Both of you.” Lucas states pointedly, looking from his boyfriend to his brother.

Chris looks sheepishly at Nathan for help, feeling somewhat guilty for breaking his promise. “How about we talk this over in private?” He suggests to Lucas finally.

Nathan still looks worried, a fact that Haley has now noticed. “Nathan, is this something to do with you? Do I need to hear this?”

Lucas shakes his head in disgust. “Forget it, I don’t want to hear the details, I can figure the rest out for myself.” He walks out, ignoring Chris’ plea for him to stop.

Left alone, Chris dares to catch Nathan’s eye, only to look away quickly. The younger, yet much stronger boy is glaring at him. “Sorry.” He mumbles, uselessly.

“Sorry for what?” Haley demands. “Nathan, what’s he sorry for? Why is Lucas upset?”

“Go after him and explain things!” Nathan orders Chris. “I know you’re not used to this relationship thing, but that’s what you’re supposed to do.”

Chris nods, eager to leave anyway. He chases after Lucas, leaving Nathan to deal with his wife. He doesn’t have to go far, because Lucas is sitting down by the pier, looking more broody than usual. Chris walks over hesitantly, unable to look him in the eye. “So, I fucked things up. Surprise!”

“Everybody knew you would. I should have believed them.” Lucas mutters.

Chris starts to remember why he hates relationships. All this drama and guilt and…pain. It’s too much for him, he prefers the easy life. But now that’s he’s right in the middle of it, he figures he might as well do something right and fix things. “It was just fucking. Not even nice fucking, Nathan’s an even bigger jerk in bed than he is out of it.”

Lucas closes his eyes; he doesn’t want to hear this.

“It stopped when you and I got together.” Chris says, hoping that’s enough. “Well, once maybe, but that was it! And it was before we got…well, you know…serious, or whatever.”

“So is there any reason in particular nobody told me?” Lucas asks, accusingly.

“Haley, mostly.” Chris admits. “And because I didn’t want to screw things up with you. Heh…guess that didn’t work out. So, are we over? You knew I’d do this eventually…can’t you make an exception or something? Like a ‘this is your last chance’ kinda deal…?”

Lucas looks at him bizarrely. “Are you trying to bargain with me?”

“I’m trying to keep you.” Chris replies, frustrated. “You have to admit the sex is good! It’s worth it for the sex, right?”

“Are you finished?” Lucas can’t help but laugh, despite feeling hurt.

“Maybe. Are we finished?” Chris asks, nervously.

“Shut up and kiss me.” Lucas instructs, rolling his eyes.

Chris’ face lights up and he obliges, wrapping his arms round Lucas’ waist as he kisses him. “So I’m forgiven?”

“I wasn’t going to break up with you over one stupid lie.” Lucas tells him.

“What?” Chris is no longer smiling. “You let me go on like that for nothing?!”

“Not for nothing.” Lucas grins, pulling him closer. “It earned you some serious bonus points for trying so hard.”

“And bonus points are…?” Chris asks. Lucas gives him that look and Chris suddenly realises. “Ooh! Okay, I’m gonna need to cash those right away. Come on…” He grabs Lucas and drags him back to Nathan and Haley’s apartment.

“We’re not having sex here!” Lucas hisses as they approach the front door.

“Why? The bed’s really comfortable.” Chris jokes.

Lucas promptly thumps his arm. “How do you get away with always saying the wrong thing?”

“Because I’m unbelievably handsome.” Chris explains, trying to bring his dead arm back to life. “Dude, you’ve got to stop hitting me, it hurts!”

“Then stop fucking my brother and joking about it!” Lucas warns him.

“Okay! Okay! Jeez, no sense of humour really runs in the family.” Chris mutters. “Do you think they’re still fighting in there?”

Lucas opens the door and peeks in, only to pull it shut quickly. “We’re going to need a new venue. This one’s…taken.”

Chris grins and goes to take a look, but is dragged away by Lucas before he can. “Ah, come on…I wanna see!”

“And I want to drive my cock so deep into your ass you won’t be able to walk for a week.” Lucas whispers seductively in his ear, smirking as Chris swallows nervously.

“I’ve been a very bad influence on you.” Chris realises, utterly turned on. “Not that that’s a bad thing or anything...”

“Limited offer.” Lucas says, walking over to his truck. “Take it or leave it.”

“Oh, I’m so taking it.” Chris murmurs to himself, following Lucas.
