Rise And Fall

Chapter 5 - The Rain That Took My Heart Away

It was Nathan's turn to stare idly up at the ceiling. It had been three days since they had run into Haley at the river court and three days since he had heard from Lucas. He hadn't even seen Peyton, which was strange. Of course, he had spotted Brooke across town one day and figured that was the reason why the curly blonde had disappeared.

Ring... Ring... Ring... Nathan's landline went off and he leapt off his bed and grabbed it, not checking to see who was calling.

"Hello?" he said, praying it was Lucas.

"Nathan, it's Haley. Um, is Lucas over there?"

"No," Nathan said, his voice growing hard. The last person he wanted to talk to was Haley. That meant he had to reminense the past and listen to her complain that the one guy she loved had turned over to the dark side in her opinion.

"I haven't seen him since three days ago and I would kind of like to say good-bye to him before I leave today."

"You're leaving?" Nathan asked, not bothering to hide how relieved he was at that statement.

"That's what I said, wasn't it?" Haley said, irritated. "Chris told me that the record company would love to have me sign for them. It's so nice that someone actually cares."

"You know what, Haley? I am really proud of you for accomplishing all of this," Nathan said, cheering inwardly that she wouldn't be around for a while. "I hope you find happiness."

"I found happiness once," Haley said pointedly through the phone. "But he took my heart and stomped on it by getting together with my best friend."

"I'm not going into that anymore, Haley. You left, get over it. Luke and I are now together," Nathan said, his tone frosty. "Now unless you have anything else to say other than complain about what's going on, then I suggest you leave me the hell alone."

Without another word, he hit 'end' on his cell phone and went back to staring out the window. He desperatley wanted to see Lucas, but he wasn't sure of how he should approach the blonde. Lucas had seemed pretty upset three days ago and Nathan wasn't sure if he should go after him or not. It had been three days.

Suddenly, a knock on the door made him look up. Nathan felt his heart do back flips as he saw the gorgeous blonde leaning against the door jam, looking as though he had just stepped out of a pool.

"Hey," Lucas said, smiling nervously. Nathan could barely respond; he was too caught up in Lucas's beautiful smile and handsomly soaked hair. He looked like a Greek god.

"Hi," Nathan managed to get out. He hoped it sounded somewhat normal. He always ended up being extremely tongue-tied when he was around his brother. He knew that Lucas had the same affect on most women as well.

"I'm sorry I haven't been by," Lucas apologized, staying against the door. "I've been in this mood and didn't want to take it out on you. You would have thought I was crazy."

Nathan smiled at this and got off the bed to walk over to Lucas.

"It's okay, Luke," he said, waving off any further apologies. He was now standing right next to Lucas.

"Hey, Nate?" Lucas asked, looking up at the younger with wide, blue eyes that were full of want and desire. Nathan felt chills go down his spine as he looked at Lucas.

"Yeah, Luke?"

In reply, Lucas pressed his lips against Nathan's, gently at first, but getting more and more passoniate as the seconds passed. Nathan responded wildly, taking one arm and pulling Lucas closer to him, while using the other to run through the blonde's soaked hair. Lucas wrapped his own arms around Nathan's neck to deepen the kiss.

Nathan gently began to tug Lucas back to the bed, never beaking the kiss. He turned the elder Scott around and gently pushed him on the bed, breaking the kiss at first to really look at Lucas. The blonde's already perfect lips had become full and swollen after their heated kiss, and his eyes were sparkling in want. He had one arm holding on to Nathan and the other was used to balance his fall on to the bed.

Nathan looked back at those handsome blue eyes that were so much like his own before pushing Lucas backwards with one hand and attacking his lips with his own. Lucas squirmed underneath him to get more comfortable on the bed in Nathan's arms, before returning the kiss passionatley.

Nathan's free hand began to undo Lucas's button up shirt. Lucas removed his hands from Nathan's neck and began to work on Nathan's own shirt. Soon, both boys were topless. Nathan broke away from the kiss to study his brother's perfect body.

"God, you're so beautiful," he murmured, taking in Lucas's finely chisled chest, leading down to a well musculed and tanned stomach which ended abruptly at the waistband of his jeans. He eyed the clothing article dubiously for a moment, before returning to stare at Lucas's top half for a while. He drank in the sight of Lucas's nipples that were now hardening in the cold air. Nathan longed to touch them, but wasn't sure if Lucas would be okay with that.

'Give me your hand," Lucas said softly, his voice husky with desire. Nathan obliged willing, placing his hand in Lucas's. Lucas led Nathan's hand to his chest and placed it gently on top of his left nipple. Nathan felt a shiver of delight go through him as he understood what Lucas wanted. He gently began to massage the tender body part, hearing Lucas's pleased moan escape from those perfect lips.

Nathan stopped his ministrations for a moment, much to Lucas's displeasure, before moving his lips from Lucas's own to Lucas's chest. Lucas let out another groan of pleasure as Nathan used his tongue to play with Lucas's left nipple, using his hand to play with the other. Lucas arched himself backwards against the pillows as Nathan licked him gently from his left nipple to his navel.

"You have no idea how good you taste," Nathan murmured, placing a hand on Lucas's chest and leaning up to kiss him again. Lucas returned the kiss with vigor again. Nathan moaned into his brother's mouth, wanting this kiss to never end.

"I love you so much, Nathan," Lucas said, gasping for air as they broke apart again. Nathan left a trail of kisses down Lucas's neck, making the elder squirm in delight. Nathan knew what he was going to do next; he just hoped Lucas would allow him.

Slowly, but surely, Nathan began to slide one hand down Lucas's side to the waistband of his jeans. Lucas bit his lip and nodded, much to his brother's pleasure. Nathan slowly removed his other hand from Lucas's left nipple and went to work unzipping Lucas's jeans. The item in question was quickly discarded, leaving Lucas only in his boxers.

"God, Luke," Nathan whispered, seeing Lucas's erection inside his boxers.

"Can I?" Lucas asked, his voice faint with embarrassment as he motioned with one hand towards Nathan's own sweatpants. Nathan nodded, allowing Lucas to slide the material off of his legs and toss it aside.

"Luke..." Nathan murmured, not knowing what else to say. Lucas smirked slightly, before attacking Nathan's lips with his own. Nathan moaned against him, reveling in the pleasure Lucas gave him.

"Oh my god!"

Deb's voice was high with shock and disbelief. Nathan and Lucas quickly broke away from each other. Lucas slid off the bed, scrambling to find his shirt and jeans, while Nathan merely buried himself under the covers of his bed. He heard Lucas murmur something that sounded like an apology to Deb, before he quickly left. Nathan was left alone with his mother.

Lucas walked quickly down the stairs and headed towards the nearest exit before the screaming started. He couldn't believe what had just happened. Nathan was about to give him more pleasure then he had ever had in his life and then Deb walked in. How awkward could things get? No one was supposed to know about Lucas and Nathan, except for Peyton, Brooke, Haley, and possibly Jake. The last person on earth they wanted to find out was Dan. If Deb knew, it was only a matter of time before Dan did.

Lucas was so lost in thought that he didn't hear the car coming towards him until it was too late. With a screech, the car tried to stop, but the tires wouldn't grip the road enough to stop suddenly. Lucas let out a yell of pain as he felt his body and the car collide. He saw stars and then felt the rain beat down on him. There was another screech and the car was gone, leaving Lucas alone in the rain, gravely injured.
