Lucas' POV
My mom has tried to make me learn to cook but just one thing happened, I burnt everything other then water (that is Haley). The things I can make are a mean sandwich and no bake pie (I don't have to cook either). I know that this not how many would do it but I do know one thing; Nathan loves to eat.
Doing an impromptu picnic with just thick sandwiches and pie is not romantic but neither is kicking your brother when he is down. I was going to make it up to him.
I learned that I need him in my life, even if he hates me or just so he can have some of the pie I can make.
I get everything set up for this 'thing'; I really don't know what to even call it. I then call him, and then I got his voicemail. Looking at the clock, it is only 9:30 on a Monday night. He can't be asleep…could he?
I called again and this time I get a, "What?" His voice was draggy, as if he just woke up and was not happy about it.
"Did I wake you?"
"L…Lucas…why are you calling me?" I guess I did and now he is wide awake.
"Do you want the answers you are looking for?"
"Yes you bastard. You know I do." I smile. He is coming around.
"Meet at the river court at 10 and I'll tell you all you want to know." With that I hung up. I did not what a fight on the dang thing. If anything I want him to eat then one a full stomach I could tell him.
I grab the basket and the blanket and off I went.
Nate's POV
I hear my phone go off. I just hit the hay and it is probley just Hellz telling me about some homework that needs to be turned in tomorrow. I'll just get it in the morning when I wake up.
I hit relief when the dang thing shut up. Then it goes off again. Normally Hellz would just let it go after one ring but dang, I was not in the mood for this.
"What?" I answer the phone. I should have really looked to see who it was calling me at 9:30 at night. Don't people know that others are trying to sleep?
"Did I wake you?" God that was a heavenly sound that I really did not want to hear.
"L…Lucas…why are you calling me?" I did not like that stutter. It made me sound weak. Now he has me up and listening. I know that after this call I was going to call Haley and ask her if there is any homework that needs to be done because I was not going to sleep tonight.
"Do you want the answers…" At this point I did not listen onwards. I wanted them and he knew it.
"Yes you bastard. You know I do." I wish he was here so I could kick his behind.
I was foaming so bad that I only made out 'river court' and 10.
So he wants to meet me in a somewhat public place so that I can't really hurt him. What a scared-y cat. I got dressed which was not that hard. I already had pants on, I got used to wearing basketball shorts to bed because of Haley staying over all the time. I slipped on a white shirt and I left.
I got there and Lucas…was sitting on a blanket…in the middle of the court…I have no idea how to react to that.
He turned and saw me and smiled. I don't know wither to hit him or blush. I do have a feeling that the latter did happen.
"Come and sit with me Nate. I have some food. It is not poisoned I swear." Well he did wake me up and I am now hungry so I guess I'll eat something.
I sit and had one of the big sandwiches that he had. They are good, well as long as Haley did not cook everything is good to me. We just sat in the silence of eating. I did not want to say anything. He was the one that kissed me and then invited me to a late picnic. After my third sandwich he looks at me.
"I have realized that I need you Nathan. I need you to feel something for me."
"Why?" It's a logical question. I might know the answer but still.
"It hurt to see that blank look in your eye, when you looked at me, Haley, or even just basketball. I need you Nate to be you again. I want you to show those emotions like you always have. I want to see you smile, laugh, yell, hate, and love. Even if you don't love me anymore I want you to love anyone. I want to see you free again."
"So you kissed me. Just like that, without me even saying yes or no. Why did you do that?"
"I found that I want you. All of you and that is something that took me a while to figure out. Then I left just so that I could prove to myself that I don't want or need you but you weren't there. I could not have a good or even great day without you by my side. I could not even play basketball because it did not involve you. I love you Nate and it took me kicking you when you were down, seeing you without it being you and me leaving to figure this out. That is why when I said even if you don't want me I want you to love someone, I meant it. I want you to be happy."
"Why did you come back? You must have known that I might have found something that made me happy and I would have hurt you. So why?"
"I had to. I had to see you again, and if you were happy then so was I. I was told something by a teacher, we are all made up of compounded elements. From the bones, blood, hair, and muscles everything is made the same. We are mamales, and then we are human. We then classify ourselves as other things. You might be my brother by some standards that was created by others but I love the human that you are."
I look at him. His words hit me in a place that made me happy. He said that we are not brothers in his eye but to people that love each other.
"I know that I might sound easy but I do forgive you. I love you too, Lucas and I hurt that you left but I am happy that you are back." I lean towards him and he to me. I kiss him. The fact that I was even more willing for that kiss then the last one made this one better.
Everything around me stopped and the only thing was Lucas. There might not have been a taste, I don't remember, I do though remember what it felt like to have him next to me. I can feel him touch me, grab me, and pull me towards him. This is what I wanted.
We pull apart and looks at me with those eyes that I always want to look at me like that. "Now how about you try my pie?" I laugh. This is perfect.
I will attempt to do a lemon next time. So…yep
