Boys R' Us

Peyton walked into Karen's Cafe' looking for the one person who could help her. Luckily she spotted her working the counter, finishing taking and order from a customer.



"Hey Tutor Girl, just the partner in crime I've been looking for."



"Okay first, only Brooke calls me that. Second, parnter in crime?"



"I need some advice."



"Okay?"



"See, I have this friend, and..."



"Now when you say friend, do you really mean you?" Haley quickly interupted with a growing smile on her face.



"No smartass. I'm not fishing for advice for myself. I really mean a friend of mine."



"O-kay?" Haley gave her a skeptical look.



"Look, here's the deal. My friend has feelings for someone else, but is afraid to act on them for fear of what will happen."



Haley just looked at Peyton in shock, 'Nathan told Peyton about his feelings for Lucas?' "How did you know?"



"I kind of walking in on him in a compromising situation," Peyton stared back at Haley with confusion, "how did you find out?"



"He sort of admitted it to me after I figured it out."



Haley being unsure if they should be having this conversation in public, grabbed Peyton and led her into the storage room.



"I can't believe he told you. I would have never found out if I didn't walk in on him."



"What exactly did you see him do?"



"I saw him jacking off to online gay stories."



Haley was more confused than ever. That didn't sound like Nathan. He seemed like the guy that would perfer watching porn. Not reading it.



"Are you sure?"



"Trust me. I even read some of it. It was pretty intense."



"Wow." Haley just looked at Peyton for a second before continuing, "So how do you feel about what he's going through?"



"See, I'm strangely okay with it. But it's the reason why I came to you. I want to help him, but I don't know how. This isn't exactly a normal situation. I mean having feelings for your own brother is kinda' hard to deal with."



"Yeah. He's not too thrilled about the Boy Toy auction tonight. He even asked me to buy him so he could at least enjoy himself with somone familiar, instead of a total stranger."



"What!" Peyton was beyond confused. Lucas asked her to buy him. Why would he ask Haley too? "What are you talking about? He asked me to buy him."



"Are you sure? Why would Nathan ask both of us to buy him?"



"Nathan? I was talking about Lucas."



The girls just stared at each other, trying to process everything. Haley was the first to speak.



"Who have you been talking about all this time?"



"Lucas. Who have you been talking about?"



"Nathan."



More silence between then seemed to last for an eternity. Peyton finally mustered the courage to speak



"Nathan has feelings for Lucas?"



"Yeah. Lucas has feelings for Nathan?"



"Afraid so."



"Wow. What were the odds. Both brothers have feelings for each other, and both are hung up about it."



"How did Nathan get you to tell him? This seems like something he would've kept to himself."



Haley just laughed. Technically he didn't, she figured it out on accident. It was nothig but a fluke she discovered it. She knew that if she didn't catch on, he would have been wallowing in misery, and she wouldn't know why.



"Nathan and I broke up because he told me he was gay. He dated me for appearance's sake. He told me he didn't want to lie to me anymore. Since then, I've been trying to set him up on dates, but he always came up with a ridiculous excuse. Too short, too large, too bulky, too feminine. He even went as far as to say that one guy's hair was too distracting." Peyton just let out a short laugh. Haley joined her before continuing, "I thought he was too damn picky for his own good. The I realized that he already had his heart set on someone specific. We got into an arguement, and I ended up blurting out Lucas' name. He just froze. He got this look on his face like he'd just been caught with his hands down his pants. I knew right then and there I hit the mark. You know, Nathan has never really been good at hiding his emotions. He's a lot like Lucas. They both wear their hearts on their sleeves, even though Nathan tries to hide it."



"Don't I know it."



"I told him my reasons for pursuing a relationship with Lucas. He may have taken them to heart, but I doubt he'll act on it."



"He might if he found out Lucas feels the same?"



"I'm not sure. How did you find out about Lucas?"



"Well," Peyton began with a hint of amusement, "like I said before, I caught him in the act. He was too involved in his 'buisness' to notice me. I was curious as to know what exactly turns on our brooding Scott brother. He was reading gay stories that featured a blonde and a brunette, who just so happen to be brothers, having sex. We got into an arguement ourselves about invasion of privacy." she finished with a chuckle.



Haley mearly shook her head, "Only in Tree Hill. We have the asshole Dan Scott, who fathered two sons with two different women, and abandoned one of them. We have Jake, the single teenage father, and now we have two half-brothers who have feelings for each other."



"Yeah. This town is fucked up."



"So you came in here for advice to help you with Lucas, right?"



"Yeah, why?"



"Well, I know for a fact Nathan won't follow his heart, unless, he was given a push."



"What are you planning Haley James?"



"Well, originally, I was going to come up with a plan to help Nathan. I just didn't know how. But knowing that Lucas feels the same way Nathan feels, makes things much easier," Peyton saw the gleam in Haley's eyes, "what if we use the Boy Toy auction to our advantage?"



"And how exactly would we do that?" Peyton replied with a smirk.



"Simple. Nathan requested me to buy him, and Lucas wants you to purchase him. How about we buy them for each other!" Haley was practically giddy.



Peyton looked at her skeptically, "You think that would be wise? I mean, technically, I'm not supposed to know about Nathan, and you were suppose to remain clueless to Lucas. They might get mad at us."



"I think it's a risk I'm willing to take. Are you?"



"Yeah, what the hell. But another thing we have to worry about is making sure no other girls buy those two."



"Nathan has that covered. He gave me plenty of money to ensure I buy him tonight. So yours, his and my own will definetly be enough to buy them both."



"Lucas also gave me some of his money as well. So how will we get them to stay together after the auction is over?"



Haley simply smiled.



- - - ooo - - -



"Come on, people, this is for charity. And remember, for the next five hours 'till midnight tonight, these boys will be at your beck and call. So pay your money and get your boy." Whitey spoke to the hords of girls.



"So how does this plan go again?" Peyton asked.



"Simple. We wait until everyone leaves before confronting them. We tell them that they bought each other. Then we hope that sometime during the course of the night, they'll confess their feelings for one another. If by tomorrow we find out that they were too stubborn to admit anything, we try the direct method." Haley responded.



"Which would be?"



"All four of us would meet at Nathan's apartment and lock them in the bedroom."



"We'll use that plan as a last resort. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing the looks on their faces."



"You are horrible."



"I get my entertainment where I can obtain it."



"Who's up next?" Haley asked, looking at her program, "Oh, no."



All the girls signed in unison, "Tim."



Sure enough, Tim appeared. Everyone was forced to watch the debacle that is Tim, making a complete ass of himself as usual. His horrible, pathetic attempts at dancing were like watching a car wreck. You shouldn't look, but you just can't help it. Luckily, Deb took pity on the clueless idiot, which thankfully got him off the stage. And not a moment too soon.



"Why are we doing this again?" Peyton questioned as she took great interest in watching Jake strip out of the school's mascot costume.



"Because they are our friends. Besides, do you want to have to listen to them constantly whine over the fact that they can't have each other, is driving them crazy?" Haley responded as Jake left the stage.



"Good point."



"Okay, let's have our next boy." Whitey announced.



"Here goes." Lucas said as he walked onto the stage. He was greeted by numerous cheering girls. All of them wanting a piece of him. Nathan thought Lucas couldn't possibly be anymore cute as he wore jeans that hung low on his hips. As well as the red and grey shirts he sported. He watched as Lucas shyly proceeded to the front of the runway, and did a little dance. 'God, he's even sexier than I could possibly imagine.' Nathan thought as Whitey started the bidding.



"All right, let's start the bid at $20."



"$25."



"$35."



"$50."



"$75."



"$100."



"I'll go $101."



"$105." Haley finally made her bid. "$110. What the hell. $115."



"Sold."



"There goes my Cafe' savings. This plan better work." Haley muttered with a sly smile. Peyton could only laugh.



"Well that's one down. I have a feeling buying Nathan is gonna' be a challenge. So we should both bid on Nathan just in case."



"Gotcha'."



"All right, we're down to our last boy toy, so loosen up those purse strings and pucker up those lips, and remember, this is for a good cause." Whitey said as Nathan made his appearance, "You're on Nathan."



Nathan came out, quickly tossing off the shades he had on to Mouth. He strutted down the runway in all black as all the girls began clapping and screaming all excited. Nathan started modeling for everyone in his black and blue oxford shirt and black pants. Everyone was drooling over the sight of him, including Lucas, who was secretly watching with great interest. The first thing Nathan did was rip his pants off, revealing blue and white shorts. A lump formed in Lucas' throat. "Holy shit! He's stripping! This is so fucking hot!' Lucas thought as he tried to contain his arousal.



"Okay, do I hear a first bid?" came Whitey's voice.



"$80."



"Woah." Peyton replied.



"$85."



By that time, Nathan ripped his shirt off revealing his muscular jock body. It was nicely toned. He had a definite hint of a six pack, a nicely filled chest with the words 'Boy Toy' written across it, and strong arms.



"Smells like sex in here." Peyton remarked.



"$90."



The bidding was getting higher, and Haley was becoming more worried, "$91." she yelled.



"Do I hear $92?" Whitey asked as Nathan continued to put on a show. All the girls were screaming at his antics. Sure he wasn't too thrilled about the auction at first, but he had the inspiration he needed. Everyone thought he was showing off for the girls, but he was doing it for one person in particular. That person who just happens to be mesmerized by every taunt and toned muscle in Nathan's body.



"$92."



Haley turned to Peyton, "How much do you have?"



"Well, with the money Lucas gave me, $92.53."



"Going once..."



"Okay, hurry up and bit it. This could be our last chance to buy him."



"Going twice.."



"Hurry, Peyton, hurry!"



"$92.53."



"$109.40."



Haley gave the girl a nasty look then searched frantically in her purse.



"Going once..."



"Emergency $20, come on, where are you?"



"Going twice..."



"Yes!" Haley pulled out an extra twenty dollars and handed it to Peyton, "$112.53!" She shouted, while Haley looked towards her bidding rival and gave her a triumphant, "Ha!"



Whitey looked towards the girl, waiting for another bid from her. She just shook her head in disappointment. Whitey turned to Peyton, "Sold!"



"Yes!" Haley hugged Peyton with much enthusiasm, "Everything's going according to plan."



"I want to thank you all for coming this evening and supporting this good cause. Now, all these young men belong to the highest bidders until that midnight kiss. Let's try to keep things legal this year. All sales are final." Whitey stated.
