Picture This
A/N: Because for every story I complete, I must start 4 more.
Something about Peyton's brother Derek seemed a little off. Maybe it was the way he showed up at her wedding to Jake unexpectedly, maybe it was the how he hung around Tree Hill waiting for Jake and Peyton to return from their honeymoon instead of moving on and stopping by later, or maybe, Nathan thought, it was that goddamn camera that was flashing photos every five minutes.
He'd shown up at the wedding armed with the thing but that wasn't what really bothered Nathan at all. It seemed the freaking camera was always pointed at his brother. Most brothers wouldn't have given a flying rat's ass who took a picture of their brother but Nathan wasn't most people and Lucas wasn't just his brother. After bitter rivalries, shaky friendships and several girls in between, they finally decided they wanted each other.
It happened shortly after the summer during one of the worst storms of the year. Lucas had shown up at Nathan's apartment soaked. He claimed he wanted to check on him, make sure he was okay but Nathan recognized the storm brewing in Lucas's blue eyes. He'd seen that look staring back at him from his own reflection in the mirror after several heated encounters with Lucas. Both had been afraid to speak their minds and with good reason. Confessing you love another guy was one thing. Confessing you love your brother was quite another. Nevertheless through blackout conditions, Lucas's attempts to leave and Nathan finally getting up his nerve, they finally came together, in the rain, on the hood of Nathan's car.
They'd been inseparable every since. Only Haley and Peyton knew about them. They'd managed to keep their relationship under wraps for over a year. Nathan didn't consider himself possessive but new blond guy was ticking him off. What made it worse was Nathan couldn't exactly walk up to Lucas, throw his arm around him and say, 'he's mine bitch.' although he wanted to on several occasions, even before Lucas was his.
Nathan had seen that hungry look that darkened Derek's eyes before in the eyes of that Felix Tagarro character. The handsome Latino had arrived in town with a swarthy macho attitude hitting on girls left and right. Then he laid eyes on Lucas and his cover was nearly blown. Nathan was there when Felix slinked up to his brother trying to charm him like a snake. It burned him up that Lucas was falling for it. It turned him on that Lucas wanted it.
From that moment Nathan watched them constantly. Felix was quick to call someone a fag or queer. Nathan knew the type. He was the type. Lucas didn't seem to mind the offensive slurs but that was probably because Felix was sending off a very different vibe that Lucas picked up on. The only way Nathan could think of to make the punk back off his brother was to spray paint the word 'fag' on Felix's locker. Pretty soon the rumor mill was turning thanks to good ole reliable Brooke. Felix was gone and Nathan had his brother all to himself again; at least in theory. It would be another year after Felix's departure before he'd have him in every way imaginable.
So after working so hard to get him and fighting so hard to hold on to him, it was only natural that Nathan's hackles were up when yet another clown, this time claiming to be Peyton's brother showed up. He didn't attend Tree Hill High so painting slurs on his locker wouldn't work. Besides, Nathan's feelings about Derek were more than just jealousy. Nathan felt scared for Lucas. He knew it was an unreasonable fear but he couldn't help it. Nathan and Lucas planned to go to college together and live together off campus. It was all they talked about since the end of their junior year. It was a decision made soon after Lucas nearly lost his life to a crazed gunman and former friend's bullet. Nathan felt as frightened for Lucas now as he had that day in the library, trapped and waiting to get his brother help.
Every instinct in Nathan screamed to beg Karen's permission for Lucas to move in with him now. That way he could keep him safe. Lucas always teased him about getting their roles mixed up. “I'm the older brother. I'm supposed to look out for you,” Lucas would joke.
He knew Lucas didn't really mind and he hoped he was wrong about Derek, but Nathan had a feeling he wasn't.
