Chapter One:
Happy Birthday to You

Lucas watched as Nathan walked down the stairs. He knew he shouldn't be watching him like this but he couldn't help it. He had been talking to Peyton but once he saw Nathan her voice slipped away like sand. Nathan walked a crossed the lunch area right towards he and Peyton. Lucas quickly looked back to Peyton and pretended to know what she was saying. Nathan walked behind Lucas and stopped.

"Hey what is up my homies?" Nathan said with a laugh.

"Oh please," Peyton rolled her eyes and made a peace sign.

"Could you be anymore emo?" Nathan asked Peyton.

"Shove it!" She said flying her middle fingers.

"Been there done that!" He laughed.

"Wasn't offering," Peyton finally stood gave him a hug and play punched Lucas on the arm and walked away. Nathan sat down in front of Lucas. They looked into each others eyes. Nathan lend in and whispered.

"Okay put your tongue back in your mouth make it through today and met me at my apartment after school. There's no practice." He stood back up and walked away. Lucas just stared at the place where Nathan was just sitting. He was smiling.

The day seemed to last forever. Lucas went through the normal routine. First through eighth period, talk to Peyton between first and second then Haley through third to sixth and then Brooke in study hall eight. Lucas checked with Whitey to be sure there was no practice, it wouldn't be the first time Nathan told him there was no practice when there was. When Whitey confirmed that there wasn't Lucas headed to his car. He drove ten above the speed limit all the way there so he could get there as soon as possible. When he arrived he couldn't help but keep smiling. He ran up the stairs two at a time until he got to Nathan's door. He got his breathing under control and straightened his clothing. After all that was done he finally knocked on the door. He heard a latch move and then nothing.

"Hello?" Lucas called out.

"Come in," Nathan yelled.

Lucas turned the knob and opened the door. The room was dark. He walked in and someone shut the door behind him. He smiled to himself then someone's hands covered his eyes. They smelled of icing which made Lucas wonder.

"Walk with me," It was Nathan's voice and he pushed up against Lucas's legs with his. Lucas let Nathan lead him. Then Nathan stopped and the room became brighter. Nathan's hands were still covering his eyes. Nathan's hands suddenly moved and he saw most of his friends in front of him.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY LUKE!" Everyone yelled.

Lucas lost his smile for a second. How stupid he was to believe that Nathan would like him like that. Ever since the DNA test proved that Lucas wasn't Dan's kid he couldn't help but finally let himself open up to the fact that Nathan was a very cute and sexy man. His smile returned very soon when he then thought of the fact that in all the events of the day he had in fact forgotten it was his 18th birthday. His mom, who was holding the cake, hadn't even reminded him. He made his wish and blew out the candles as everyone sang to him. The rest of the night seemed to fly by. Peyton and Brooke ended up getting into there usual yelling match, Brooke won when she slapped Peyton. Haley was all over Nathan trying to get him to dance with her, he never did. But, the most disturbing thing of the night was that his mom and the new guy of Tree Hill, Eric, were making out outside on the balcony. The night was still fun with many laughs, especially when Mouth and Rachel did a duet on the karaoke machine. It was midnight before everyone started leaving. Lucas stayed behind and helped Nathan pick up the mess.

"Man go home I'll clean up," Nathan tired to persuade Lucas.

"No I can help," Lucas said smiling, "It will take you three days by yourself."

It was three in the morning by the time they were done cleaning. Nathan flopped down on the couch and Lucas sat on the chair not far away. They both sat in the silence. Three minutes later Lucas had fallen asleep. Nathan was still awake. He looked over at Lucas and smiled. Happy Birthday you sexy, cute man! He laughed to himself after his thought and stood up. He took off Lucas's shoes and covered him up with a blanket. He then walked back to his room and stripped down to his boxers and climbed into his bed and drifted off to sleep.
