Author's Note: I don't own One Tree Hill. I don't own the characters, and frankly, lawsuits aren't so attractive to me. However I do like this show, I love this pairing and I want to write to the best of my ability…so please review this if you liked or hated this idea. This is my first One Tree Hill fanfic, so opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you and enjoy.
Haley and Nathan Scott were watching television in the living room. The two were lazily relaxing, enjoying their time together as a couple. Jamie was with his uncle Skills so the two were alone at last.
The romance between Haley and Nathan was always there, that romantic tension that had existed between the two of them each time they were near each other. Hell, even when they were apart the two yearned for each other. But it was not just the fact that they meshed sexually and physically that kept their marriage going, it was that bond that they shared that was purely emotionally breathtaking.
What did married people do to make things interesting? Fight? Sure yeah that made the blood boil and passions spike, but anger could actually spark issues that need to be left in the past. Make love? Hell ya, but you can't do that forever, can you? So, what pray tell is it? It's gossiping and it's something that Haley and Nathan take pride in doing. Come on, it's a spouses prerogative to know what's going on in their mate's life.
"Lucas is my best friend." Said Haley James-Scott as she snuggled closer to her husband as they watched television on the couch.
"Yeah, you know Hales I think I figured that out a while ago." said Nathan as he lightly smiled at Haley
"Stop being a smart ass, I'm serious. Lucas is my best friend and I hate to say this but…I'm getting fed up of his behavior." said Haley self-righteously
"Hales, give Luke a break…Lindsey left him at the altar!" said Nathan trying to defend his half-brother as much as he can.
"Nathan I was there, and I am still there and will continue to be there whenever he needs me to be. But why can't he choose, lately it seems like he still likes Lindsey, he looks like he's still hopelessly in love with Peyton but somehow decides to keep Brooke in his back pocket." Says Haley
"Hales, you're exaggerating." Says Nathan
"Am I? How do you see it?" asked Haley
"Luke was always the good guy…well okay maybe sometimes he fed up but most times you can say he was the good guy and still is a good guy. But being good doesn't guarantee you love. If it did, would I be here with you?" asked Nathan as he tried to change the subject.
"Nate, you're a good person. I will beat you upside the head if you make me remind you more. I love you because your good stop putting me on some pedestal. I helped you change but it was the goodness in you that made you change." Said Haley
The two stared into each other's eyes for a moment. Then they both kissed softly. The moment stopped when a thought popped into Haley's head causing her to turn her head.
"Luke's a good guy but I just feel like he could be acting better. Would he want me or Lily to be treated the way he treats his girls?" asks Haley
"No, he wouldn't" says Nathan
"I get why he's like this… I have this theory." Says Haley
"Hales stop analyzing Luke." Said Nathan
"Well who else can I analyze…he's my best friend." Said Haley
"Let's talk about…crap it all revolves around Lucas, doesn't it?" asked Nathan
"Do you think we're all insane or just remotely living through Lucas?" asked Haley
"Nahh…hell no, not when I have my lovely wife that I can have my way with in a few minutes." Said Nathan as he waggled his eyebrows
"Why Nathan I thought you would want to change the subject again and talk about what secret your mother seems to be hiding, I think she has a new boo…" says Haley teasingly
Nathan turned off the tv with the remote and hugged his wife. He said to his wife, "Let's talk about the action going around us later, lets make our own action tonight."
With that said, the two left hand in hand off the couch and ran happily to their big bedroom where they could discuss the gang's gossip later.
