Pairings:

Noah/Luke

-------------------

Chapter 1: Perfect Timing

Noah stood nervously at the front porch of the house. Luke Snyder had told him this was where he live. He'd never met Luke's parents before nor his sister. He knew for sure that they probably knew who he was because Luke would talk non-stop about his new friend to them. His heart almost stopped when he heard the door open. He saw a man who looks to be Luke's father. The man looked at him.

"Hello...umm I'm Noah Mayer..." He looked at who was staring at him as if he's trying to make him disappear with his heated stare. Noah shifted nearvously with his feet and bit his lip as the man continued to stare at him. A small girl stood near him.

"Daddy stop staring at him you're making him nervous." The little girl almost sighed of relief but stopped when he saw Luke behind the man. Noah felt his heart beat faster when Luke caught his gaze. A woman stood next to Luke so that must be his mom Noah thought to himself.

"I'm so sorry...please excuse my husband's unfaithful behavior. I'm Lily Snyder, this is Holden and this is Faith. Please come in we were just about to have dinner why don't you join us?" Lily asked. Noah's eyes went wide and he stared at Luke who just shrugged his shoulders and gave him a awkward smile.

"Umm sure I guess I could." Noah felt neusea build up in his stomach. Lily smiled sweetly at him and grabbed his hand and led him into the kitchen.

After putting the plates on the table and rearranging the places, Noah stood near the chairs as the whole Snyder family sat down. Lily smiled at Noah and made a hand gesture for him to sit down.

"Come on Noah we have plenty of food you can have whatever you like," she said. Noah gave her a nervous smile and sat down next to Luke who was putting mashed potatoes on his plate.

"So Noah, Luke tells me you work at Woak with him?" Lily asked as she poured herself some water. She handed Holden the water. Noah cleared his throat and nodded.

"Yes. I work with him. It's a good job and I get paid decent money and it's also a good help with the flim business." Lily blinked at Noah. Holden
started eating his food and barely spoke a word. Faith was confused on why her dad didn't want to talk to Noah. He seemed nice and he was extremely polite. She took a sip of her water and ate her biscuit with tiny nibbles.

"Oh so you want to work in the flim buisness? As what? A writer? Or a director?" Lily asked. Luke took a bite of his food and looked at Noah who
glanced up. He felt his face heat up. He didn't want their first date to be like family was making Noah nervous. He placed a shaky hand on Noah's. Noah jumped a little and turned to see Luke smiling at him.

"Umm I want to be a director and make some flims in black and white, or maybe silent movies. I'd like to experiment with different types of movie flims." Noah smiled brightly at Lily. She looked at Holden who was glancing back and forth between Noah and Luke.

"That's wonderful. I can't wait to see one of your flims in the future." She said. Noah smiled at her and finished the rest of his food. He just wanted to get out of there. It was really awkward with Holden staring at him.

"Well thanks for having me for dinner. I'm sorry if I burdened you guys."Noah said. Holden stared at him.

"Oh sweetie it was no bother at all. You're welcome here anytime. You are Luke's friend and we always allow family friends over." Lily gave Noah a quick hug.

"Thank you. That means a lot." Noah said. He smiled as he backed away and stood next to Luke. "Well I better get going. Nice meeting you Faith." He said. She smiled and gave him a hug too.

"Will I see you soon Noah?" She asked with hope in her voice as she stared up at him. He smiled at her and went towards the door.

"I'll follow you out Noah." Luke placed his hands in his pockets and walked out the door with walked outside into the cold frisky air.

Lily put the plates in the sink and Holden cleared off the table of cups and silver ware. Lily placed the last plate in the sink. She turned to glare at
her husband.

"What the hell was wrong with you tonight?" Lily placed her hands on her hips.

"What do you mean Lily? I didn't do anything wrong tonight except have that guy in my house." Holden said. Lily squinted up at him and huffed.

"Holden, Noah is Luke's friend whether you like it or not. He is allowed to come here and not be judged by the way he is! You made him feel like he wasn't welcome in this house. Why did you act that way?" She asked. Holden stared at her.

"Why do I get the feeling like you already taking Noah in as if he's part ofthe family? Now he probably thinks he's allowed to live here too!" Holden sighed heavly.

"Holden whether you like it or not, Noah is allowed here and he has every right to be near Luke and the rest of the family. If you can't accept that
then.." Lily trailed off. Holden sighed and placed his hands on Lily's shoulders.

"I'm sorry I acted that way Lily...I'm just afraid Luke might get hurt again like that Kevin guy did to him years ago. I don't want Luke getting hurt."
Holden said. Lily smiled sadly and placed a hand on her husband's soft cheek and gave it a gentle rub.

"Luke is a big boy Holden. He can come to us if he's hurt other than that please let Luke make his own decisions..." Lily said. Holden silently smiled
and nodded.

"Alright...I'm sorry for acting the way I did." He smiled again and kissed her lips softly.

"Now let's go make sure Ethan is still in bed." He nodded and followed her upstairs into the nursery.

Luke and Noah stood outside of the Snyder home. Noah stood in front of Luke.

"Look I'm sorry about my family, Noah...I guess our first date didn't turn out the way you planned huh?" He asked. Noah sighed and smiled at Luke.

"It was fine Luke. I didn't mind meeting your family...your dad on the other hand...I dont know what to do about him." Noah said. Luke chuckled softly and nodded in agreement.

"Well how about next time on our second date it wouldn't have to be with my family." Luke smiled and shivered when he saw Noah. He had grown to love that angelic smile. Noah was like a angel when he wanted so badly to kiss was afraid to make the first move he bit his lip and stared into Noah's chocolate brown eyes.

"Well I better get going. Dad will kill me if I'm late...I'll see you tomorrow?" He smiled and couldn't believe how many times he had smiled in one night if he continued he was sure his lips would fall off from his face.

Noah closed the distance between and gave Luke a long hug. Luke sighed contently and snuggled his face into Noah's neck. It felt right and he loved the feeling of Noah this close to him. Noah wrapped his arms around Luke's waist and brought him closer. Luke felt so good against him and he fought the urge to kiss him now.

Noah broke the hug, their foreheads resting against each other. Noah looked at Luke who had his eyes closed.

'Oh god he wants me to kiss him. I dont know if I should kiss him', Noah thought to himself. He let that thought slip from his mind. He leaned closer and he let the nervousness and neusea pass as he connected his lips with Luke's.

Lukes eyes shot open as he felt Noah's lips against his. He kissed back and felt Noah's hands rub his back which caused him to moan. Noah smiled into the kiss and wrapped his arms tighter around Luke's waist.

After a few minutes of kissing and groping, Noah broke the kiss in need of air. He smiled at Luke and kissed his cheek.

"I'll see you tomorrow Luke..." Noah said as he took off from his spot. Luke gazed after him still a little dazed from the kiss. He sighed heavly and smiled to himself.

Tonight turned about to be the best night he ever dreamed of walked into the house and closed the door behind him.
