Luke, Noah, Casey, and Ameera were debating what they should do about Noah and Ameera's pretend marriage. Casey could easily see what Ameera was trying to do, he had to convince, or at least suggest to Luke that Ameera wasn't as innocent as she acted.
"How long do the three of you think you're going to pull this off?" Casey demanded to know.
Noah responded, "We're doing okay so far. And it's not going to be for too long."
"It's already been too long!" Casey got out of the booth Noah, Ameera, Luke and him were sharing and stormed out of the town coffee shop, "Java".
Luke gave Noah a dark look and followed after Casey.
Outside, Casey was struggling to put on his jacket.
Luke grabbed his shoulder, "Casey, wait…"
Casey spoke, "Luke, Ameera's in love with her gay fake husband, who happens to be your boyfriend."
"No. No. No…" Luke started to deny Casey's accusation.
"I quit you, Luke!" Casey turned sharply to face the other boy. Luke's warm brown eyes met Casey's silver-blue eyes. For a full minute, neither of them left each other's gaze. Casey laid his hand gently on Luke's waist.
Luke's gaze shifted to the hand touching him. He looked thrown off about it, but Casey saw something else.
Does he look… attracted to me? Casey thought.
He moved his hand downwards, causing Luke to gasp quietly. Luke stepped closer to Casey, until the two's bodies were almost touching each other's.
Suddenly, Casey felt something he never had before, he wanted to do more. He wanted to take Luke home with him, take off all his clothes and… Casey couldn't even finish the thought.
Casey thought to himself, What would Noah think about me wanting to deflower his boyfriend? He would never believe me about Ameera if I did!
Casey moved his head slightly forward, and his lips met Luke's. Luke slipped his arms around Casey, and they kissed roughly for a few minutes.
Suddenly, Luke jerked away from Casey's embrace.
"Casey, no! We can't!" Luke shouted, and then he ran back to the building.
Casey stood there, staring after Luke. He couldn't believe he had kissed a guy. He also couldn't believe that it had been Luke. Luke, who had been there for Maddie while Casey had been rotting away in prison. Luke who was dating Noah, and… Oh god! Noah! He had entirely forgotten about Noah!
I am so screwed! Casey thought.
He followed Luke inside, knowing the uncomfortable tension that he was about to face. Casey also knew that he could no longer live in Oakdale if anyone ever found out what he and Luke had done.
