CHAPTER 20: "A Fairytale"
Warnings: Strong language
A special thanks to Kim. She gave me the idea of the poetry club. She also researched poetry clubs in the Chicago area for me. Thank you girl!

Luke walked into the restaurant chuckling at Noah's mischievousness. Noah could be such a naughty boy. Luke smiled thinking of Noah lying on their bed naked with cum pooled on his stomach.

He went to the table and saw two dark haired girls sitting with Terry. He wanted to laugh when he noticed how uncomfortable Terry looked. The poor guy is always blushing or nervous, at least during the few times I've been around him.'

Luke walked to the chair across from Terry and sat down.

Luke smiled at Terry and said, "I see you've been busy."

Terry gave Luke an anxious half smile. "Luciano, this is Olivia and Riley."

Luke shook their hands "Nice to meet you both." Luke smiled and raised his eyebrow, giving Terry a questioning look.

Olivia noticed Luke's curious look and said, "We hate eating alone so we asked your friend Terry to join us, but we ended up joining him."

"That's cool." Luke smiled widely.

Plates of food were brought out and set in front of each person.

Riley asked, "So.. I suppose you guys are taken?"

Luke spoke up quickly, teasing Terry, "I am, but he's not."

The girls both looked at Terry and said, "Really?"

Terry blushed and said to Luke, "Come on Luciano. Don't be like that."

Terry turned to Olivia, then to Riley. They both smiled at him. He smiled back then searched Luke's face.

Terry secretly winked at Luke and said firmly, "We've been dating for a year, right?"

Luke grinned back at Terry and said, "No."

Terry raised his eyebrows at Luke and made a disappointed face.

Luke added, "I think it's been only 10 months honey buns."

Terry let out a slightly suppressed laugh. "Oh yeah! You're right as usual baby cakes."

Luke smirked and gave Terry a 'you owe me' look, then took a bite of his food.

The girls looked back and forth between the two boys.

Olivia smiled and said, "Oh, you're together. Cool. It's cute you have terms of endearment for each other. Don't you think so Riley?"

Riley giggled and said, "It's very cute."

Luke chuckled and said between bites, "Oh yeah! I've got a lot of names for Terry. He's my boo boo bear and lambchop, but I think his favorite pet name is punkin' butt."

Terry giggled and said, "Oh definitely, tinkerbell!"

Riley and Olivia laughed.

Olivia said, "Okay you guys! Now you're just being goofy."

Luke and Terry laughed.

Terry answered, "Yeah, he's he's my sugar lumps"

Luke shook his head and said, "Sugar what?! LUMPS?? You're gonna go THERE'?" Luke giggled and said, "Okay hot... NUTS!"

Terry gasped and turned beet red. He quickly tried to hide his embarrassment when he picked up his glass of water and sipped it slowly.

Luke laughed hard.

The girls looked at each other and giggled.

Luke continued, "Eat up sweetie pie, we have to get back to the dorms."

Luke paid the tab for him and Terry, then stood up ready to leave.

The girls thanked Terry and Luke for an entertaining lunch and watched them walk away.

Luke wrapped his arm around Terry's shoulders as they walked away. He pulled Terry over so they were hip to hip.

Terry moved his head next to Luke's and asked, "What are you doing?"

"We've been dating 10 months Terry." Luke grabbed Terry's butt. "We have to look and act like it, don't we?"

Terry turned his head and looked back at the table. The girls were leaning over smiling at him. They waved and he waved back.

"You're right, they're still staring. Thanks." Terry said appreciatively.

"I could kiss you and give them a really good show." Luke snickered.

"No thanks Luciano." Terry laughed.

Terry and Luke had begun their way home when Terry laughed and said, "Thanks for going along with my bluff. I didn't want to get into why I was single."

Luke took a sideways glance at Terry and said sweetly, "No problem cupcake."

Terry slapped Luke's arm, laughed and said, "Okay, that's enough! Noah may get jealous!"

"Nah.. I don't call him any of those names. Look at yourself you're hot! You could get any guy you wanted. You're a dick magnet! Even I'd be on you in a second if I wasn't with Noah!"

Terry smiled and said, "Do you really think I'll have a date tomorrow like Michael said?"

Luke grinned at Terry. He was happy to see that Terry seemed to be enjoying himself.

Luke answered, "Oh, yeah definitely! If not, I'll take you out." Luke chuckled and teased, "I wouldn't mind having eye candy on my arm."

Luke walked Terry to his dorm room and handed him the bags of clothes he carried up.

Terry looked up and faced Luke.

"Thanks for today Luciano. I had a really good time. You are very generous. If there's anything I can do for you, let me know. "

Luke smiled and moved forward. He leaned on the hand he placed flat against Terry's door.

"So, what are you going to do now cupcake?" Luke asked, looking at Terry's face and hair.

Terry grinned, "I guess just hang up my clothes and study until it's time to go to bed. Why?"

"Oh, no reason." Luke stared into terry's eyes. "You can pay me back with a kiss."

Terry looked into Luke's eyes with apprehension. "Um, what do you mean a kiss?"

"Just a kiss and we're even." Luke smiled with the corners of his mouth upturned.

Terry stared at Luke's mouth and said, "Uhh, I don't think I understand exactly what you want Luciano."

"Just a kiss Terry. Jesus, you'd think I was asking you to fuck." Luke laughed.

Terry turned red and leaned towards Luke.

Luke quickly pecked Terry on the mouth and patted his behind. "Goodnight cupcake. See ya tomorrow."

Terry shook his head and watched Luke saunter away.

He turned back to his rook and opened his dorm door. When he walked into his room, he stepped on an envelope. It had been slid under his door.

He quickly set the bags of new clothes on his bed and picked up the envelope.

His name was on the outside. He opened the envelope and pulled out the short note. He immediately recognized Josh's handwriting. Apprehension filled his thoughts as he unfolded the note and read it.

Terry,
I've been thinking about you all day.
I miss you and I still love you so much. Please give
me another chance to prove to you just how much.
I want and need you. I was thinking if you're up to
it, we could go out tomorrow? I would love to take
you out and talk to you.
All my love,
Josh

Terry put the note on his desk and sat on his bed weighing the pros and cons of meeting Josh. He didn't think he could ever forgive Josh for humiliating him. It hurt too much to think about. Josh reaffirmed his love for him in the note, but how could he have been so cruel if he really loved him?

Terry had to think hard and long. Shit, Michael was pretty accurate! I did get asked out on a date, now I need to figure out if I want to go. I could specify that it's not a date. We could talk about stuff, nothing personal though. I'm not revealing my feelings or thoughts to him. He might use it against me.'

Terry didn't want to face Josh tonight so he called him on the phone, even though Josh was a few doors down the hall.

Josh answered somewhat annoyed, "Yeah?!"

Terry asked, "Sorry, is this a bad time?"

Josh's mood elevated. "Oh! Terry, no. Not at all. I was working on my paper that's all. How are you?"

Terry ignored the question and got right down to business. "I'll meet you tomorrow, but just to talk."

Josh frowned but said, "Okay, how about at the Lakeview. I can meet you in the lounge."

"No. It sounds too much like a date. We can meet in the park." Terry said.

Josh insisted, "I'm not meeting you outside. It's only supposed to be 45 degrees tomorrow!"

"Do you always have to have things your way Josh?!" Terry rose his voice. "Look, obviously we aren't going to agree here so maybe it's too early to talk amicably to each other."

Josh sighed, "Okay, I'll meet you outside, but I can't be outside for very long. I have to stay as healthy as I can."

"Oh." Terry stated. "Sorry I wasn't thinking Josh. Okay, we'll meet inside.. at the cafe though. How about 9:00 p.m.?"

Josh bit his lip and said with uncertainty, "Terry? Um.. can we make it 8:00 p.m. Instead? The cafe gets busy around 9:30-10:00-ish."

Terry rolled his eyes, but he knew there would be a rush of people coming in after seeing an early movie for a bite to eat. "Fine Josh, 8:00 it is then. Bye." Terry hung up before he heard Josh say goodbye.

Terry dumped his bags of clothes on the bed. He hung up the shirts and folded the pants, then put them away. He sat at his desk fingering the note Josh wrote and slipped it into a drawer, then opened a textbook and began to read.

Luke walked into his and Noah's room. Noah immediately jumped up his from his desk and grinned.

"Heyyy Luke!" It seemed like Noah took one giant step across the room. He was in Luke's arms in that instant. "You're home!"

Luke chuckled and said, "Miss me?"

Noah nodded. "Oh yeah!"

Luke kissed Noah on the mouth and said, "Why are you all dressed up?"

Noah was wearing a nice black sweater with a dark blue dress shirt underneath. He smelled wonderful.

Luke had fallen in love with the smell of Noah. Certain distinctive pleasurable odors emanating off Noah stimulated Luke's senses. His cologne, his body soap, his shampoo, his natural scent, even the smell of his perspiration. Each odor awakened crystal clear memories of Noah when they were camping, walking around campus, or studying in the library. Sometimes, when Luke lay awake at night listening to Noah breathe, he would smell Noah, just for the hell of it. He'd breathe Noah in, steal his breath if they happened to be face to face, then he'd sigh at the man he was longing to be intimate with.

Luke wondered if Noah was the one he would fall in love with or if Noah was going to fall in love with him. Luke was afraid of that since he and Noah had become so close, so quickly. What if this is like my last boyfriend. After we had sex for the first time in the relationship, I was uninterested in him because the thrill of waiting, wanting and longing was gone. I wanted excitement. I fed off it. What if I still need that "fix" of going out with other guys after Noah and I fuck? What if I can't settle down. What if I can't just have "one" man in my life at a time?'Then Luke thought, That's a lot of fucking What ifs!'

Luke had fallen asleep that night cuddled up to Noah, having dreams of possessing Noah's body, then leaving him for someone else.

Noah tightened his grip around Luke's waist and whispered into Luke's ear, "I'm taking my boyfriend out on our first date." Noah licked and gnawed on Luke's neck gently.

Luke threw his head back and pushed his pelvis forward and ground himself against Noah. He tried to engage Noah in a kiss.

Noah laughed and moved away. "Dude, go take your shower and get dressed. I'm serious about going out."

Luke started to walk away, when Noah reached out and grabbed Luke's hand. He twirled Luke back around. Luke fell into Noah's arms and instinctively reached around Noah's waist to stop himself from falling. Noah caught him and brought Luke's lips close to his mouth.

Noah looked deeply into Luke's impassioned questioning eyes.

Noah closed in and claimed Luke's lips. His tongue commanded Luke's lips to part... demanding admittance without permission.

Luke smirked. How is it Noah could kiss him when he wanted, but if Luke initiated it, he was told to go take a shower?

Luke moaned into Noah's open mouth and felt his body gravitate to Noah's tall, lean body.

Noah's hands slid into the back of Luke's pants. He fondled Luke's firm muscular ass and murmured into Luke's mouth. "I want this.. right here." he pulled Luke's rear closer. "I want it bad Luke."

Luke chuckled and pushed Noah away this time.

"Heh Heh, I'm gonna go get ready for our first date. Where are you taking me anyway?" Luke asked over his shoulder as Noah followed him into the bathroom. His lust filled eyes never left Luke's backside.

"I thought I'd take you to a little place in Chicago." Noah watched Luke flip his shirt up over his head and toss it on the floor.

Noah eyed Luke's pecs and abs. He sighed thinking about nestling his head against Luke's chest and rubbing his cheek on the soft light colored chest hair.

"What place in Chicago? I might know of it."

"Um..." Noah's eyes traveled lower. Luke undid his pants and stepped out of them. He stood up and gazed at Noah's face.

"Well? Where are you taking me?" Luke smirked.

Noah shook his head to get out the thought of wanting Luke's legs wrapped around his waist. His blue eyes slowly made their way up to Luke's face, then looked Luke in the eye. He saw Luke's twinkling bright eyes and the sly smile on his face.

Noah blushed and said, "The east side of town to a little place called "Boy's Town."

Luke stripped out of his boxers and threw them at Noah's chest. "What's that, some kind of strip club?" Luke winked at Noah and smiled.

Noah caught the boxers and held the soft cotton fabric between his fingers, rubbing it and staring at the gorgeous naked man in front of him.

Luke turned around, bent down and turned on the water. He adjusted the water temperature, stepped into the shower and turned around.

"Noah." Luke snapped his fingers and grinned. "Yo, dude. What is this Boy's town?" Luke saw Noah staring, mesmerized, and hypnotized by his body.

"It's umm... a place where people gather to listen to poetry every so often. I thought you might like it, with you wanting to be a writer and all."

Luke slid the shower curtain shut and stood under the stream of hot water.

"That sounds cool. Are you taking me out to eat too?" Luke suggested.

"They serve desserts and pastries there. Is that okay with you?"

Luke peeked out the shower and smiled. "Yes. That's good. So... what really prompted your call this afternoon?" He began to wash his body.

Noah leaned against the sink and said, "I was lonely. Can't a guy miss his boyfriend? Was it okay that I called you?"

Luke smiled naughtily and teased, "Yes why, were you thinking of calling someone else?"

Noah chuckled.

"Noah? Will you pick out some clothes for me? I just bought some. There's a few new shirts there for you also."

Noah sneaked a peek behind the shower curtain and said, "You look delicious."

Luke turned around and flicked beads of water from the tips of his fingers at Noah.

Noah scowled playfully.

Luke was drying off when Noah came back into the steamy bathroom.

Noah set the clothes down on the sink counter and asked, "So how was your day with Terry?"

Luke looked up after he slipped each foot into the red boxers Noah had picked out for him to wear.

"I love him! He's so funny Noah. He gets embarrassed at the funniest things. We ate lunch with these two girls and he turned bright red when one of them asked if he was single. He's really fun to hang around. I think I like him the most of all your friends. He has this innocence about him." Luke hurriedly got dressed and looked into the mirror.

Noah agreed, "I love Terry too. He's a sweetheart. I used to have a crush on him in high school, but since he was a friend I never asked him out or anything."

"I kissed him." Luke smiled as he ran his fingers through his thick light brown hair.

Noah frowned and asked, "Why?"

"I could tell he was embarrassed that I spent so much on him. I bought all his clothes, his haircut and lunch. He asked if there's anything he could do for me, so I told him to kiss me."

Noah's eyes met Luke's in the mirror. He drew his eyebrows together and said, "He kissed you... on the mouth?"

Luke turned away from the mirror and put his hands on Noah's chest. "Yes, a peck on the mouth. Like this." Luke puckered his lips and kissed Noah on the mouth.

"Ohhh! That's okay then. Fuck, for a minute there I thought you made out with him!" Noah exclaimed, clearly relieved.

Luke glanced at him sideways and said, "I would make out with him, he's really attractive, but you..." Luke pushed his index finger into Noah's chest. "You do something to me that I can't describe."

Noah smiled and took Luke's hand as they walked to the parking lot.

"I like Josh a lot too. We're very much alike. When I took him to the hospital to have him retested, we really bonded. Same with Terry today. He makes me want to hold him and take care of him. I know he's not frail like that or naïve. He just seems troubled... quiet."

Noah nodded and remarked, "He'll be alright. He does cut though, not so much in college as in middle school. Chad, Josh, Wade and I looked after him. He isn't so quiet when he's pissed off let me tell you."

Luke agreed, "No shit sherlock. He yelled at me when we were camping remember? He's really protective of his friends. I think that's why I like him so much, the way he comforted Josh when you were in the hospital. I wonder why he likes me! I kinda just showed up one day and all of the sudden I feel welcomed."

Noah laughed, "I have good taste in friends that's why, and boyfriends too."

Noah opened the passenger door of his truck for Luke.

Noah stuck out his hand to Luke after opening the passenger door of his truck. Luke grabbed Noah's hand as he stepped out of the truck.

Noah wrapped his arm around Luke's shoulders and walked with him to the building that read "Boys Town".

Luke felt warm and safe in Noah's arms even as small flakes of snow floated lazily down from the starless dark sky.

Noah opened the dark green door for Luke and pushed him gently forward with his hand on the small of Luke's back.

Luke took a look around. He spotted a empty table and asked Noah if they should sit or look around first.

"Get the table first, it gets busy in here quick. So you have never been here?"

They both took off their fall jackets and laid them on the back of their wooden chairs, then took a seat.

"No, I haven't." Luke said looking around. The surrounding balcony was either a library or a book store.

"What's up there?" Luke asked pointing to the wrought iron railing and bookshelves.

Noah looked up and stated, "Poetry books. Wanna go look?"

"Maybe later. I could go for a drink." Luke held his hands out across the table.

Noah took Luke's hands in his own and said, "Wine, beer or coffee. They might have tea too." He lifted Noah's hands to his mouth and kissed his knuckles one by one.

Luke smiled and replied, "Hmm, coffee sounds good. I'll share a dessert with you too."

Noah smiled at Luke and asked, "What kind of dessert... Luke?"

Luke whispered, "Chocolate covered... dick."

Noah grinned and stood up. "Be right back."

Noah went to the back of the building and stood in line, waiting to order.

Luke was enjoying the ambiance of the room. A small stage with a stool and a microphone were in the corner. The lighting of the room was romantic and warm. Tables began to fill up with other gay couples as fast as Noah had said they would.

Noah walked back to the table carrying a tray with two coffees and a small piece of deep dish apple pie ala mode. He set the tray on the table and sat down next to Luke.

Noah took a spoonful of ice cream and put it in his mouth. He looked impishly at Luke, then leaned towards him.

Luke licked his lips before meeting Noah's. They came together, lips smashed together, noses bumping and mouths opening.

Noah pushed the spoonful of vanilla ice cream into Luke's mouth with his tongue.

Luke moved his mouth on Noah's lips. His tongue pushed the ice cream back into it's owners mouth.

Noah swallowed it and slipped his cold tongue into Luke's warm mouth. He heard Luke moan low and felt Luke's hand on his thigh. Noah cupped Luke's chin in his right hand and broke the passionate kiss.

Luke opened his eyes and asked, "Why did you stop?"

"The lights have dimmed. It's going to start soon, besides, I can't keep kissing you like that. I already have a massive hard on.

Luke beamed and whispered, "Let me see."

Noah chuckled and said, "No way."

"Let's go to the bathroom together Noah."

Noah smiled and shook his head.

"Then lets go behind the building or... Hey! Lets go to your truck. I've never done it in a truck before, at least I don't remember doing it in a truck."

Noah looked at Luke in disbelief, "You're serious aren't you?"

Luke nodded, "Yeah, I don't think I ever did it in a truck that I recall."

Noah took Luke's hand and said, "No, I meant about having sex... here.. now."

Luke grinned and said, "Oh yeah! There's nothing like the thrill of almost getting caught, or being watched or watching. Didn't you so think when we were camping?"

Noah took a sip of hot coffee as a volunteer took the stage to read his favorite poem by Oscar Wilde.

Noah watched the older man, in his 40's sit on the stool and open a book.

Noah turned to Luke and whispered, "Luke, just how many people have you slept with?"

Luke gave Noah an incredulous look and crossed his arms. He sneered back, "Why? How many guys have you slept with?"

Noah leaned close to Luke's ear and whispered, "I'm not trying to get you mad. I guess I didn't know that what you did up north camping was a regular thing. Sorry."

Luke faced Noah and said with hurt and anger in his eyes, "Noah, I told you everything about me, about me and Bren, and hooking up. I thought you knew."

"I did, I do... I thought maybe, I don't know." Noah spoke softly and gazed into Luke's eyes as if he could find the answer there.

Luke frowned. He picked up his coffee, blew on it and took a sip. "What Noah, just fucking say it."

"Well, Josh... he changed." Noah stated wearily.

Noah thought Luke was going to haul off and hit him.

Instead, Luke turned his back on Noah and focused on the poetry reader.

Noah cursed under his breath and leaned forward. He put his hand on Luke's shoulder and his head alongside Luke's head.

"I'm sorry Luke. I like you the way you are. Sometimes, when you talk about stuff, like kissing Terry or about doing it' in different places, it seems like... ummm."

Luke turned his head and said, "What, that I'm a man whore? Don't you think people who've slept around have the same feelings as you? What about Josh? You don't treat him any different because he's been around more than a few times. Why are you trying to make me be any different than I am?"

"Because..." Noah explained, "You're MY boyfriend and I would like the assurance that you'll be..."

"Faithful. Yeah, I get it. Thanks a whole hell of a lot for your trust Noah. What a great first date and our first fight all rolled into one." Luke turned around. He sat and stewed while another man in his late teens got up and took the stage and began to read.

Noah sat back and sighed.
What the fuck is wrong with me? We were doing so great and NOW I bring up the fact that he's been around? I wanted this night to be so special. I have to make this right and in a hurry too.'

Noah leaned forward and rested his chin on Luke's shoulder.

"Luke." Noah said. "Come on Luke, talk to me."

Luke intentionally ignored Noah. He didn't even want to look at him.

"Luuciaannnoooo.." Noah whispered in Luke's ear.

Noah started to massage Luke's shoulders. They were tight and rigid.

Soon Noah felt Luke relax and said, "I like you so much the way you are. I wouldn't be dating you if I didn't. When I met you up north, I knew there was something between us. I didn't know what it was, but I'd like to try to tell you. Will you let me Luke? Please?"

Luke turned his head and nodded. He whispered, "Okay."

Noah smiled and kissed him on the cheek. "I do trust you Luke. You have never given me cause not to. It's none of my business to know who you've slept with either. I'm sorry. Are we good, because I don't want to fight with you. It's our first date and I want to tell you something important. Will you listen?"

Luke turned to face Noah. "Yes Noah, of course I will. I'm sorry too. I was stupid to jump to conclusions. I really care about you and I care what you think of me. Noah, I think that I..."

"Noah. Noah you're up." The loudspeaker announced.

Noah smiled at Luke and kissed his forehead. He stood up as the crowd clapped gently. "I asked them to tell me when it was this exact time. 9:25 pm. You wanna know why?"

Luke smiled and nodded.

"9:25 pm was the exact time I first saw you up north. I remember thinking how handsome you were and how kissable your lips looked. I wondered how they would taste on my tongue. Anyway, I gotta go up. Be right back." Noah smiled and walked away.

Noah cleared his throat and spoke softly into the microphone. "This poem is for my boyfriend, Luke. It says everything I'm feeling. I wish I had written it, but I'm not that great with words. I guess I'm more of a lover than a writer."

The audience chuckled as Noah reached into the back pocket of his jeans. He pulled out a folded piece of paper. On it was a poem he found and copied down when he was at the library on campus earlier in the day. He was supposed to be studying, but he was thinking about Luke and their first date. He poured over poetry books for hours trying to find the perfect one... one that Luke would appreciate, not a sappy, or dirty poem. Although there were plenty of those, he found this one to be perfect and he could relate to the expressive, but delicate prose.

Noah looked into the audience and said with devotion, "Luke, you're the reason I breathe." Noah smiled and began to read;

A
Fairytale

size1written by: Millette Addison/size

Dreamland awaits you,
Close your eyes,

Imagine you and I,
Close as breath,

Skin upon skin,
Lips touching,

For you taste of
Raspberries,
sweetly irresistible,

The fragrance of you,
Takes my breath away,

I am burning inside,
A torch of fire,

Burning fuel of
passion,
For you are my desire,

My heat beats with
every breath,
You are my destiny,

Your eyes evade me,
deep, dark, mysterious,

I am your slave,
Your love has captured
me,

Grab my body,
Pull me close,

Show me your love,
In ways I could only
dream.

Wake me I must be
dreaming,
This is a fairytale.

Noah stepped down off the small corner stage and walked back to his seat.

Luke stood up, looked at Noah, and wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's neck.

"That is the nicest and hottest thing anyone has ever done for me. Thank you Noah."

Noah reached around Luke's waist. He laced his fingers and rested his hands on Luke's lower back.

"You're welcome Luke."

Noah leaned in and kissed Luke tenderly on the lips. Luke opened his mouth and inserted his tongue into Noah's mouth.

Noah moaned and cocked his head to the right. He took one hand and placed it on the back of Luke's head.

Luke's hair was silky and soft. Noah ran his fingers through it, then pressed Luke's head hard against his lips. Their kiss immediately became rough and raw with impure thoughts of each other naked and writhing in bed. They each moaned gutturally, from the backs of their throats.

Luke pulled away reluctantly, wanting to hide his preoccupation of lustful desires for Noah's body before he became unable to withstand sitting next to Noah without undressing him.

Luke said in a deep, sensible voice, "We better sit and listen to the speakers before they throw us out of here for indecent exposure."

Noah whispered in Luke's ear after they took their seats, "I don't think these guys would care Luke."

Luke acted shocked and replied, "Noah! Are you suggesting doing it in front of a crowd?"

Noah chuckled, "No, not a crowd! I'm just saying, if that's what pleases you I want to make you happy... if that's what you want. Luke, I like you alot."

Luke reached for Noah's hand and held it tightly. He stroked the palm of Noah's hand with his index finger and said, "I like you a lot too, but you don't have to change who you are to please me."

Noah smiled and implied, "I'd do just about anything.."

Luke leaned in and kissed Noah's lips mid sentence. He pulled Noah's bottom lip into his mouth by grasping it with his own lips, sucked and nibbled on it, then let go. Noah was left dumbstruck. He suppressed the need to throw Luke on the table and do him right there, right now, but he wanted to finish his thought, albeit he was still captivated by the thought of Luke's lips nibbling and sucking on his lower one.

Noah uttered a few halting words, "... anything... to umm... make you uhh... happy."

"You do make me happy. See?" Luke grinned a radiant smile that lit up his whole face.

Noah chuckled and sipped his coffee. He turned his attention to the guy who was reading a poem by Melville.

Luke took a bite of the pie and melted ice cream.

They stayed for a while, had another coffee, and snuck out hand in hand. Noah led Luke to his truck.

Luke and Noah stole secret glances back and forth on the way back to the dormitory. Luke moved his hand to Noah's thigh and stroked the inside of it.

Noah looked at Luke and said provocatively, "So, we've had our first date, am I going to get lucky tonight?" Noah smiled devilishly and turned his attention back to the road.

Luke chuckled and said, "Depends."

"On what?" Noah asked with disappointment.

Luke leaned into Noah's shoulder, grabbed his crotch, and whispered seductively, "How.. bad.. you want... me."

"Noah licked his lips and tried to quell the rapid beating of his heart. "I want you badly" Noah placed his hand over Luke's hand and pressed it into his growing erection. "Can't you feel how much I want you?"

Luke smirked and reminded Noah, "I know, I saw you staring at my bod in the shower earlier. I was so ready to say fuck it and let you have me then. I was so ready for you, but I'm glad we went out on this date first. It was very nice and romantic.

Noah smiled and looked at Luke. "You're welcome." Noah removed his hand from atop of Luke's hand and replaced it on the leather steering wheel. He bucked his erection up against Luke's hand and groaned. Luke cupped Noah's nuts through his denim jeans and gently squeezed, then applied pressure as he rubbed the length of his erection.

"Luke, hey Luke. As much as I hate to say this because it feels so fucking good... you have to stop rubbing my cock. I feel like I want to close my eyes and lay my head back and get lost in the feeling, and that would not be good since I'm driving."

Luke laughed and took his hand away.

Noah immediately missed the heat caused by the friction Luke's hand had generated on his crotch.

Luke told Noah about his day and shared a few laughs. Noah told Luke about his obsessiveness in the library looking for the perfect poem. Luke teased him. They giggled and smiled at each other.

Noah pulled into the parking lot and turned off the engine. He pulled the key out of the ignition and jingled them in his palm as he gazed at Luke and smiled.

Luke smiled back and took Noah's hand.

Noah and Luke's stomach's were bundles of anxious nerves, excitement and lustful desires for each other.

Luke had no idea why he felt so nervous. 'I've had sex before for God's sake!' Maybe he thought it was because it was going to be with Noah. Then again, maybe it was because he was afraid Noah wouldn't be enough for him, that he'd feel empty inside like he had so many times before after sex.

Noah knew why he was so nervous. He'd wanted Luke from the very beginning, right after he met him up north. He denied himself that thought at the time because of his current boyfriend at the time, Chad. Now Luke would really be his tonight. Noah couldn't wait. He let go of Luke's hand and walked around the front end of his truck.

Luke was already out of the truck by the time Noah got there to open the door for him.

Luke smiled and reached for Noah's hand.

Noah and Luke couldn't walk fast enough to the building and up the stairs. He and Luke bounded up the stairs by two's, panting and breathing hard. The sounds of their respirations turned each other on.

While Noah fumbled with his keys, Luke pulled off Noah's sweater.

Noah finally opened the door and let Luke pass through first. Noah shut and locked the door and immediately pressed himself against Luke.
