A/N: Title Taken From Fall Out Boy

Chapter Four:

'Tell That Mick He Just Made My List of Things to Do Today'

The next morning Nathan was the first to wake. He watched the man next to him sleep for a few minutes. He just loved the way his chest looked as it rose and fell. He pulled the blanket down some caressing his legs. Then he started kissing up his body. He started at Lucas' ankle and worked his way up the calf to his thigh. Once he got to Lucas' stomach he awoke.

"Hey darling'" Nathan smiled up at him and kissed his chest.

"Good morning." Lucas smiled and leaned up to kiss Nathan. Nathan pulled away.

"I've got morning breath."

"Yeah, well, so do I!" Lucas pulled Nathan in and kissed him.

"You have to get ready for work and I have to get ready for my second session with Haley!" Nathan stood walking toward the bathroom.

"I wish I could go!" Lucas followed him.


Nathan walked into the studio and froze when he saw more than Haley in the recording room. He walked over and Haley introduced him to the band that had recorded the track he was singing the day before. He then pulled Haley aside.

"They're leaving right?" Nathan smiled nervously.

"No honey they are here to play the song with you." Haley put her hands on his shoulders.

"What?" Nathan's eyebrows went up as did his voice.

"It makes the track sound better if you record both at the same time. It makes it less fake sounding." Haley removed her hands.

"But I have to sing in front of them now." Nathan's face went white.

"Hey don't worry! You're a good singer you can do it!" Haley smiled and then shoved him toward the recording room.

"OK Nathan, we are going to start with the chorus." Haley moved some things on the soundboard as Nathan took his place shaking a bit. The band started up and Nathan took a deep breath and began.

"You make me so hot

Make me wanna drop

You're so ridiculous

I can barely stop

I can hardly breathe

You make me wanna scream

You're so fabulous

You're so good to me baby, baby

You're so good to me baby, baby"

"Nathan that was great." Haley smiled as the band stopped.

"Then why did we stop?" Nathan said voice shaking. This caused laughter from everyone.

"To bad your married." The female guitarist shook her head.

"And gay." Nathan laughed.

"Double whammy!" She laughed.

"Not for me!" The drummer wiggled his eyebrows and the laughing started up again.


"Hey Luke!" Aden smiled and waved as Lucas entered the employee locker room.

"Hey," Lucas said half-heartedly.

"What's wrong?" Aden put a hand on his shoulder.

"Nathan's recording in the studio," Lucas flopped down on the bench.

"You mean like singing? In Haley's studio?" Aden looked at him questioningly.

"Yes!" Lucas put his chin in his hands.

"Then what the hell are you doing here?" Aden pushed him up from the bench.

"I have to work," Lucas pulled away from him.

"Not now I'm taking you off the schedule and putting you on for tomorrow." Aden smiled and shoved Lucas toward the door.

"I love ya!" Lucas hugged Aden and ran out the door.

"YOU BETTER!" Aden yelled after him, "Now I can call Eli in!"


An hour later, after stopping by the house to shower, Lucas walked into the studio. He saw everyone on the recording side. They were laughing and joking and having an all out good time. Lucas suddenly felt a wave of jealousy.

"LUCAS!" He heard Nathan yell.

"Hey Nate!" Lucas smiled as he was hugged by his husband.

"I thought you had to work?" Nathan then kissed him.

"So this is the guy who took my man!" The drummer, Eric, laughed from the other side of the glass.

"Aden let me leave and what did he say?" Lucas raised an eyebrow and Nathan led him to the other side.

"Eric is convinced that one day we'll be together." Nathan laughed.

"Don't worry dude! I'm only joking." Erick laughed shaking Lucas' hand.

"Well you know two in the bed can get a little boring." Lucas winked to Eric.

"HEY!" Nathan slapped Lucas on the chest.

Lucas sat in the booth with Haley and watched as Nathan sang his track. He had always liked Nathan's shower singing, but for some reason never told him. He also found himself getting very turned on hearing the lyrics come from Nathan.

"I can make you feel all better, just take it in

And I can show you all the places you've never been

And I can make you say everything that you've never said

And I will let you do anything again and again

Now you're in, you can't get out"

"You might want to stop drooling." Haley teased. It wasn't until that moment that Lucas notice he was actually off in a daze. He hadn't done that since high school. He glared at Haley and continued to watch Nathan. They were there for nearly three hours just messing around and making the track. They were all excited when Haley announced the track was finished.

"Play it already!" Nathan practically yelled. He was standing behind Lucas with his arms draped over Lucas' shoulders.

"Calm down babe." Lucas laughed grabbing a hold of Nathan's hands.

"Ladies and Gents I present to you HOT by Nathan Roe!" Haley smiled and hit the play button. The music pulsed through the air. Lucas smiled along as the lyrics began. Nathan blushed a little at first but by the chorus was warmed up. By the end of the song everyone was singing along.


"Nate that was great!" Lucas jumped on Nathan's back and kissed him on the cheek. They were headed up the front sidewalk to their house.

"It was OK." Nathan said humbly.

"I can't wait until your next song!" Lucas was still on Nathan's back and was now being carried up the stairs.

"Yeah well I think my writer husband should help me!" Nathan turned his head to face Lucas.

"I would be honored!" Lucas smiled.

"I meant my other husband." Nathan gave him a smart ass look.

"Oh is that so?" Lucas dropped from his back.

"Yeah, what are you going to do about it?" Nathan turned around to face Lucas.

"I'll show you who your husband is!" Lucas pushed Nathan up against the front door and kissed him hard. He turned the handle and the two men fell threw the threshold. Lucas landed on top of Nathan laughing.

"I'm sorry." A voice called to them. Nathan and Lucas jumped up from the ground and looked around. They found Troy walking out from the living room.

"What the hell do you think your doing?" Nathan took a step in front of Lucas.

"I just came over to apologize-" Troy started.

"You broke into our house!" Nathan's face was turning a little red.

"The door was unlocked I thought you were home!" Troy tried to plea with a smile on his face.

"Bullshit!" Lucas called from behind Nathan.

"Get out." Nathan pointed at the door.

"Please just listen to-" Troy walked toward them with sorrow on is face.

"I said get the fuck out!" Nathan's face was officially red and his hand that was not pointing at the door was now turning into a fist.

"I'm sorry." Troy put his head down and walked passed the two leaving the house. Nathan slammed the door behind him.

"What is that dudes problem?" Nathan turned back toward Lucas.

"Am I some kind of freak magnet?" Lucas half laughed.

"HEY!" Nathan looked at him with fake anger.

"Oh, Honey, you know I didn't mean you." Lucas smiled wrapping his arms around Nathan.

"Well I'm going to get some kind of security system setup soon." Nathan in return wrapped his arms around Lucas.

"Look at you!" Lucas smiled like a teenage girl, "My hero!"

"I'll never let you fall." Nathan smiled and kissed Lucas lightly on the lips.

"You are such a tease." Lucas said as Nathan let go and walked toward the kitchen.

"Sorry, yelling at weird people makes me hungry!" Nathan laughed.

"Oh, really." Lucas said but didn't laughed. He looked out the window towards Troy's house. He was standing on his porch practically looking right at Lucas, "Honey, how soon can we get the system?"


The next day the security system was set to be installed in a week. Nathan would make sure Lucas was not left alone. He just had a feeling about Troy that led to something he didn't want to think about. It to much made him think about Ian. How he had actually almost ended it with Lucas. He couldn't believe that such a twisted person had almost won his heart.

Nathan watched from the couch as Lucas sat at his desk. His head bobbing to music and there is a soft click of keys as he types on his laptop. He wonders what Lucas is writing but knows he'll find out when Lucas is ready to reveal. He watches as the man's arms move with is fingers. Lucas chose to do his writing shirtless, just the way Nathan likes it.

"Will you stop it!" Lucas suddenly swivels around.

"What?" Nathan smiled falsely innocent.

"You make me nervous when you do that," Lucas stood.

Nathan watched as he walked over to him. He looked over Lucas' whole body. From his perfectly blonde hair all the day down to his toes. There was not a inch of Lucas' front that Nathan missed. Then he found Lucas on top of him. Their bare chests touched as Lucas leaned in for a kiss. Chills ran up and down Nathan's spine. Lucas' touch always got him. He closed his eyes and let the kiss get more passionate. Nathan's hands wandered up his partners back. He heard a moan. It was then he noticed something was wrong. He flung his eyes opened and above him was Dan.


"Fuck!" Nathan woke up with sweat pouring over his body. He shook his head and sat up.

"What's wrong?" A voice said in the dark. He looked around and realized he was not in his house. He was back at the apartment. He looked up as Ian crossed the room with a wicked smile.

"DAMN!" Nathan woke up for the second time. He sat up and looked around. He was in his house and Lucas was next to him.

"Lay back down," Spoke a voice that was not Lucas'. He looked over to see Troy grinning. On the floor next to the bed lay Lucas in a bloody mess.

"What the fuck!" Nathan jumped out of bed and ran to Lucas.

"Oh don't worry about him Nathan!" Troy pulled on his arm.

"WHAT DID YOU DO?" Nathan yelled as tears fell from his eyes.

"I got him out of the way. Now we can be together!" Troy grinned again.

"YOU BASTARD!" Nathan lurched at him. He connected at the throat.

"Nathan stop." Troy spoke but it was Lucas' voice he heard.

"NATHAN!" Lucas slapped Nathan and he suddenly realized he was choking him.

"Holy shit!" Nathan jumped back and off the bed.

"Nathan what the hell?" Lucas looked at him with worried eyes.

"I don't know," Nathan back into the wall and slid down.

"What happened?" Lucas got out of bed and crouched down beside him.

"It was a nightmare - kissing Dan - Ian - Troy - You - Dead," Nathan's whole body shook.

"Nathan, honey, I think we should see a shrink or something," Lucas pulled him into a hug.

"Shrinks are for messed up people," Nathan was still shaking but tried to laugh.
