Nathan thought a nice shower would be just the thing to cool him down. Hopefully Whitey had caught up with Lucas and was bending his ear with another of his pep talks. Nathan had settled into a shower stall farthest away from the entrance. Though he really needed a cold shower after his tussle with Lucas, he made the water warm instead and worked the bar of soap he'd bought with him up and down his body. He tried desperately not to think of his brother but parts of his body weren't cooperating.

"Thinking about me?" Lucas's voice broke through his concentration.

"Fuck, what do you want?" Nathan asked angrily.

It wasn't until Lucas stepped into the shower that Nathan's eyes focused and he realized his brother was naked.

"Get the fuck away from me." Nathan tried to sound threatening but it actually came out more frightened.

"I thought you said this wasn't over," Lucas purred. "Had a change of heart?"

Lucas let his eyes roam freely over his brother's well-toned form.

"We're brothers you fucking pervert."

"We were brothers upstairs when you had your hand down my pants too," Lucas shot back.

"You want to play games?" Nathan reached for his brother and used his height advantage to whirl him around and pin him to the back wall of the stall.

He pressed his knee between Lucas's legs and spread them apart. He gripped Lucas's hands and held them against the cool tile spread high over his head. His brother was breathing shakily. Nathan ground his hips forward and when Lucas's mouth formed a perfect little 'O' he leaned forward and fitted his mouth between his brother's lips and explored it with his tongue.

Lucas's body jerked a few times and he could feel his brother's mouth twist into what he assumed was a smirk. It took him a while to realize Nathan was no longer holding his wrists against the wall and that he was basically allowing this assault of his own free will. In fact, Nathan's hands were clutching his hips and he hadn't even noticed his own hips swaying voluntarily against his younger brother's.

The sound of fellow teammates beginning to enter the locker room once again interrupted their little interlude. "Keep your head in the game," Nathan whispered, biting Lucas's ear and squeezing his cock for emphasis.

He grabbed his towel and wrapped it loosely around his waist. Lucas could hear the cheerful banter of his teammates as Nathan entered the lockers. He was tempted to jerk off but if Nathan could hold up without being gratified, so could he. That night both brothers tied their father for the highest number of baskets in a single game.

It was after the game the Coach Durham called them into his office.

"Whatever you boys did tonight that got you working as a team and motivated, keep it up. It worked."

Lucas and Nathan both blushed but for the sake of the team they were willing to do whatever it took.

So now, as Nathan stood with Haley mulling over her question about a ritual before a game, Nathan just smiled and nodded. The Ravens were undefeated for the rest of the season. Some rituals did work and even if they didn't Nathan was having too good a time to stop it now. Nathan thought it best to not tell Haley about his secret pre-game ritual. Besides, he knew she would flip out if she found out that not only did his rituals involved sex with a guy, but Lucas of all people.

Who would've thought that one moment of lust two years ago, would be the start of an ever-growing relationship with his boyfriend, Lucas.

The End!
