Boys R' Us

"I am so excited that Nathan and Lucas have each other all to themselves for the evening. They really need this!" Haley exclaimed.



Nathan came up from behind Haley, "I know you're still into me, but $112?"



"Funny. But I wasn't the one who bought you." Haley and Peyton both noticed the look of fear that crossed over Nathan's face.



"What are you talking about? You said you said you would buy me!"



"Hey Peyton!" Everyone turned to see Lucas approach the group.



"Hey Luke."



"Thanks again for purchasing me tonight."



"Sorry Lucas, I didn't buy you."



"What! But you promised!"



"You too?" Nathan asked.



"Yeah. I wasn't too thrilled about going out with some random girl, and get her hopes up. So I gave Peyton some of my money just in case she didn't have enough."



"I did the same thing with Haley. But I thought for sure I would have given her enough money." Nathan looked around, "So who bought me?"



"Um...Lucas."



Lucas and Nathan stared at Peyton, "What?" they both asked.



"Well, it was your money, so technically you bought him."



"They wait...who bought me?" Lucas asked.



"Nathan." Haley replied sheepishly.



Lucas and Nathan diverted their attention to Haley, "What?" they repeated.



"Well, I used the money you gave me to pay for Nathan." Peyton answered.



"Why would you do that?" Nathan didn't think he could bare all that time alone with Lucas. Afraid he might do something that would reveal his feelings for him.



"What could you possibly gain from doing this?" Lucas was thinking alone the same lines as Nathan.



"I think the real question is...what would you two gain from this?" Haley responded.



"What are you talking about?"



"You," Haley pointed to Lucas, "have an un-brotherly attraction to Nathan." Lucas went pale. Haley just openly blurted out his secret, in front of Nathan no less. How could she do that to him? 'Wait...how did she know?' Lucas thought, 'The only person who found out was...'



"Peyton!" Lucas looked at her accusingly, "How could you tell her?"



"We did this for a reason Luke. Besides, you," Peyton pointed to Nathan, "have feelings towards Lukie here." Nathan looked like a deer caught in the headlights. He didn't know what to say. Haley just admitted to him that Lucas likes him more than a brother. What was more shocking, is that Lucas didn't deny it. 'But how did Peyton find out?' Nathan pondered, 'The only person I told was...'



"Haley! How could you tell Peyton?"



"We'll explain everything later. Like Peyton said, we did this for a reason. We made it so that you two bought each other."



"We don't care how you do it, but you two need to resolve this...tension, or whatever it is between you guys. May I suggest some hot, sweaty man sex?" she teased.



"PEYTON!" Both Scott brothers yelled.



"Look. Why don't you just follow through with the auction's requirements. Spend time with each other 'till midnight, and then go from there." Haley explained.



"Don't you two want this? Well this is your chance. Consider this a first date, so-to-speak. You both have feelings for each other. Take this opportunity, and act on them. Now, Haley and I have a very important meeting with fast food."



"This is for your guys' own good." Haley yelled as her and Peyton walked off to leave the boys alone.



Lucas and Nathan just stood there. Afraid to speak. Afraid to even look at each other. The reality of the situation set in for the both of them. The girls confessed their darkest secret to the person they're attracted to. Both of them feel the same way for each other. The girls used the Boy Toy auction as an excuse to force them together. What could they possibly do now?



"So..." Lucas began.



"Yeah."



They finally looked at each other, sapphire eyes on colbalt eyes. They could both feel it. A crackling energy surged whenever they were together. There was no denying the intense chemistry between them. Everytime they touched, or came into some form of physical contact, it felt like a small jolt of electricity always shot through them, tingles and goosebumps that were hard to ignore. But they did, for the sake of not exposing their desires to one another.



"You know Luke, one of us should say something. At least talk about this."



"You want to talk about this here?" Lucas looked around the school. It may appear to be deserted, but you never know who could be lurking about. If someone happened to listen in on their conversation, it would spread throughout Tree Hill within the day. Then things would become nothing short of the apocalypse for them. Who knows what his mom or Keith would do, or even Dan for that matter. He doubt his asshole father would appreciate his son in a gay relationship, much less an incestuous one.



As if reading his mind, Nathan replied, "No. Let's go to a more private spot."



Lucas thought about is for a second, "Okay," he flashed a smile that always seemed to tug at Nathan's heart strings, "I know just the place."



- - - ooo - - -



"What is this place?" Nathan asked. After both of them left the school, Nathan followed Lucas until they reached his mom's cafe'. Nathan was worried. Sure, he'd been in the cafe' before when he and Haley were dating, but he still wasn't sure if Karen was comfortable with Dan Scott's son being in her place of business. But Lucas never said a word when he led him to the roof of the cafe'. He was shocked to find what looked like a makeshift miniature golf course. Which he had to admit, was pretty impressive.



"Haley and I built this back when it was just the two of us against the world. We would come up here for hours on end, either playing, making improvements here and there, or making new obstacles. You know, stuff like that."



"It's pretty cool."



"Thanks."



"So why did you bring me here? This place seems like you're guys' private sanctuary. I feel like an intruder."



Lucas could see Nathan's getting more nervous by the moment, "Look, she and I built this place. And we both agreed to run it past one another if we wanted to invite whoever we wanted." He said to lighten the mood, "Besides, I don't think Haley would mind just this once, considering the circumstances. She told me that Peyton came up here once, so I think you're good." he finished with his heart-melting grin. And he could tell it had the desired effect too, as he watched Nathan's facial expression soften.



"I think those two are spending way too much time together."



"Tell me about it. They managed to trick us into buying each other."



And just like that, they were back to square one. Avoiding the reason why they were here. And neither knew where to start.



"Look Nate. Like Peyton said, we need to resolve this tension between us."



"How?"



"Like you said. Talk about it. That's why we're here. In a safe enviroment to talk about this without someone easedropping on us, and away fron prying eyes."



"Okay, so...you have feelings for me?" Nathan ventured.



Lucas choked a bit, "Well, that was rather blunt of you."



"Yeah well...do you?"



"Do you?"



"I asked you first."



"..."



"Lucas!"



"What do you want me to say Nathan! That I find my own baby brother attractive? That I can't touch you without feeling some sort of electric shock? That everytime I close my eyes, I picture to two of us going at it like fucking rabbits?" Lucas quickly shut his mouth the moment he finished his barrage of questions. A crimson blush graced his features, and once again avoided making eye contact with Nathan. He wasn't sure he wanted to see his reaction.



Nathan on the other hand sported a small smile. Inspite of Lucas' confession, he couldn't get over the fact that a temendous weight was lifted off his shoulders. Lucas wouldn't judge him for the way he feels. "You're pretty cute when you blush." Nathan said quietly.



"What?" Lucas looked at him confused.



"What?" Nathan repeated, equally confused.



"You just called me cute."



Nathan's eyes went wide, "You heard that?"



Lucas nodded, and it was Nathan's turn to blush.



"Well I guest that answers my question on how you feel about me."



Nathan shyly nodded, "If it's any consolation, everything you said before...you know, about the finding my brother attractive, the touching, the fucking like rabbits part? I know exactly what you're talking about."



"You know this is messed up right? I mean, there's a word for it Nathan. It's called incest...or rather in our case, scottcest."



"You don't think I don't know that? You think I don't realize that everytime you enter my thoughts? Me fucking you? Filling you? Or vise versa? I can't help it. Can you?



Lucas was hesitant to answer.



"Can you Lucas?" Nathan repeated.



"No."



Lucas looked at Nathan for a while. He noticed something in Nathan's eyes that he couldn't quite identify. Until it dawned on him. It looked a lot like hope, and longing, "Oh god, you want to try this don't you?"



"Why not?"



"Incest Nathan! INCEST! Does that word mean nothing to you?"



Nathan tried to think of a way to approach this, until he remembered Haley's words earlier today.



"Look Luke, Haley told me something today. You know, after she found out about me wanting you," he paused, "she said she can see us together. That since we never grew up together, we're not really brothers. We were nothing but strangers before Whitey recruited you. She also said something like there's too much hate in the world, I mean look at our father. And if we manage to find love and happiness, then take it for all its worth, or something like that. I don't know, I don't remember her exact words, but that was the gist of it."



Lucas' mouth dropped open. "Dude...we're brothers."



"Lucas, I mean it. I love you." He walked up to Lucas to look at him straight in the eye. "Don't be afraid. If you need me as much as I need you, then that's all we need to know. I love you..."



"I love you, but..."



"No 'buts'. Can you love me the same way I love you? I need to know. Be honest with me."



Lucas wanted to tell him he couldn't do it. He wanted to tell him it was wrong and sick, but he couldn't. He'd been dealing with these feelings for too long and the thought those feelings would be returned made him ache to let go and surrender to his deepest desires. He wanted to allow himself to feel something good for once. "You know...If we do this, there will be no going back..."



Nathan didn't wait for anything else. He just leaned down and kissed Lucas' soft lips. Nathan hadn't expected it to feel as right and natural as it did. Lucas' soft moan made him wrap his arms around Lucas and crush him to his chest.



The kiss lasted a few minutes before they broke, "Do you trust me?"



Lucas thought back to the pain of longing he'd been feeling and the raw sensation he was feeling now. He was waiting to wake up from a dream. He didn't even know he was crying until Nathan placed his palms on his face and started wiping his tears with his thumbs.



"Lucas...Lucas, please don't cry. I'm sorry. We don't have to do this."



And at that moment, Lucas knew he didn't care if it was a joke or a dream. He wanted to claim all of the love being offered. For once he wanted to let himself be loved as much as he had loved others.



Lucas leaned up and kissed Nathan's lips quickly and gently. Then he just broke the kiss and gazed into Nathan's eyes. "I trust you with my life and my heart. I just wish we weren't brothers." He smiled.



Nathan grinned. "I won't let that stop us?"



He began to kiss Lucas again, probing his mouth gently with his tongue. The shudder running through Lucas caused him to moan with desire and he continued to explore Lucas' mouth.



Lucas began to let his tongue duel with Nathan's and he grunted in pure pleasure as Nathan began to suck on Lucas' tongue.



Nathan released him then and left Lucas panting for more while he enjoyed the look of Lucas' glazed eyes and swollen lips. He couldn't believe it. Lucas was his. Finally his. And he wasn't going to let him go. He then remembered something Lucas said earlier in the conversation.



"Dude, I have got to ask...scottcest?" Nathan grinned.



"What? It's clever." Lucas argued.



"Yeah, you keep telling yourself that." he laughed outright.



Lucas smacked him upside the head before grabbing a hold of him and pushing his lips to Nathan.
