As of right now, I'm not sure when this one is going to end. I thought it would have ended already, but I can't seem to let it go.

I just love this story, but I have another that I really want to work on.

So, until then...

ENJOY!

Chapter Thirty-One

Obstacle Course

Noah sat across from Will and watched him drum his fingers on the table. He was visibly nervous and Noah was afraid that he was going to blast-off from all the caffeine he was ingesting. Will wanted to talk to someone about what happened, but could he really talk to someone he just met. Literally just met. He was Luke's boyfriend, but that didn't mean he was going to be able to tell him why he was freaking out. Will sat back and thought about who he could tell. Most of his friends were in name only. They were more like acquaintances than they were friends. Scott was the one that he confided in. The one who he went to for advice.

What was he suppose to do now?

"Will, you can tell me what's bothering you. I know you don't know me. Maybe that's the best reason why you should tell me. I'm an unbiased opinion," Noah said as he took a sip from his large cappuccino. As crazy as this whole thing was, he needed to talk to someone. Keeping this inside was going to kill him.

"Ok. This is nuts. I barely know you, but here goes," Will said and let out a long sigh. And he let it all out. He told Noah how Scott just kissed him out the blue. He also told him that he wanted it to happen. Not that it was a conscious thought or anything, just that when it started he didn't want it to stop. He made brief mention of the night during spring break a few years ago and that they had vowed not to do it again. But Will was confused now. He wanted to get away from Scott. As much as he wanted to just take Scott. He felt awkward and strange around him all of the sudden. They never had that problem. He didn't know what to think about the whole thing.

"I mean, why would he do that? Just kiss me like that. Things were great, perfect even. Why would he screw it all up just to sleep with me?" Will asked as he pulled another piece of Styrofoam off his coffee cup. He had a small pile of white and blue on the table in front of him. Noah fought the urge to dust them into the garbage can.

"Well, maybe he didn't think he was screwing it up. Maybe he thought he was making things better,"

"Huh? Why would he think that? We can't be together; we know each other too well. Things would not work out,"

"It sounds like you're trying to convince yourself that things wouldn't work out. Listen, I'm probably the last one to be giving you relationship advice, but I will tell you this. Sometimes the one you least expect will the first one to surprise you. When I met Luke, I wouldn't even admit I was gay," Will looked at him with a slight look of consideration. "It's true. I was dating one of Luke's friends and I had decided that Luke was just a friend and that was it. But the longer I lived in Oakdale and more I got to know him, the more I fell in love with him. It's because of him that I was finally able to accept who I was. A decision that I have not regretted, once. The idea of not being with him; it kills me. I would not be who I am or where I am without him. Now, you think about what you really want and what you are willing to lose and you'll have your answer," Noah finished.

"Large coffee vanilla ice crema with whipped cream," the barista called out and Noah stood to get Luke's coffee.

"Ah, Noah? Thanks," Will said as the tall brunette walked toward the door. Will stayed in the coffee shop for a little while longer while he mulled over what Noah told him.

Noah got back to the apartment and was nearly tackled by Luke as he entered. Luke's lips were latched on to Noah's and both guys fell hard against the front door; slamming it shut. Noah moaned into Luke's mouth as the blonde licked across Noah's lips; then letting his tongue enter to lick at Noah's. Luke slid his hands down Noah long torso and under his jacket. Noah could feel Luke's fingers dig into his back and fist at his shirt. Luke finally had to pull away when he needed air.

"Hi," Luke said in his bedroom voice. Noah stood, slightly slouched, against the door with a coffee cup in each hand. "Aww, you got me coffee, thanks baby," Luke took his coffee from Noah's hand, gave him a quick peck on the cheek, and walked over to the island. He hopped up onto one of the bar stool and sipped on his cool whip creamed topped drink; playfully swinging his feet back and forth. Noah stayed where he was. His brain was foggy as he tried to make his body move.

"Hi," he finally was able to say after a few more seconds. He straightened up and walked into the kitchen. His pants were noticeably tighter and he had to calm the sex part of his brain before it took over. "You're not playing fair," he said as he leaned heavily against the counter.

Luke spun around on the stool and looked at Noah across the counter.

"I'm not sure I know what you mean," he said; playing dumb.

"The doctor did not clear us to have sex yet. They want to make sure that everything healed first, that's what I mean. SO you attacking me, not very productive,"

"True, but it was fun," Luke said and then winked at Noah. Noah gave him a side glance and bit the inside of his cheek.

Will was walking back to Scott's building after Noah left him in the coffee shop. He was really thinking about what Noah told him. What was he willing to lose? He could not lose Scott. Scott was the best friend he had ever had and there was nothing he would do to risk that. He couldn't do through with it. He and Scott would never work out. They had to just stay friends. None of his relationships have ever lasted longer than a few months and he never saw the men again. He could not screw this up and not see him again.

He thought about all of this as he walked up the two flights of stairs to Scott's apartment. He thought about it as he walked down the hallway to Scott's door. He kept repeating to himself that he had to end it; friends were all that they could be. It wouldn't work any other way. He knocked on Scott's door and waited for the blonde to answer.

"Oh, Snyder. You're gonna get it,"

"That's what I was hoping for when you came in," Luke teased; his voice full of innuendo.

"That's it!" Noah said as he rushed around the counter and just missed Luke as he jumped up and ran into the living room.

"Come on, Mayer. You're faster than that," he taunted him from the other side of the sofa. Noah stood behind it with just an arm's length away from him. Luke lightly danced from one foot to the other; trying to anticipate Noah's next move. They locked eyes for a moment, each enjoying this little game they were playing. Each knew that they couldn't go all the way, but a little play was all right. As soon as Luke stopped for a second, Noah dove at him over the back of the sofa. Luke dodged Noah, jumping to the side of the coffee table. Noah fell feet over head and landed on the floor at the foot of sofa. Noah pushed the coffee table out of the way and scrambled to his feet. Luke laughed and stood near the front door.

"You're getting slow in your old age," Luke brushed his hair out of his face as Noah got to feet. Noah was faster than Luke realized and he dashed down the hall and nowhere to go, but into his bedroom. He turned back just in time to have Noah catch him around the waist. Noah captured Luke's mouth with his own. Luke's shock was short-lived and he started to kiss him back. Hands started roaming and bodies were beginning to be disrobed when they landed on Luke's bed; Luke on top of Noah.

Luke straddled Noah's waist and ran his hands under Noah's shirt. Noah could feel himself getting warmer as Luke's body moved against his.

"You are going to be the death of me. Do you know that?" Noah asked. Luke just smiled as he leaned down and kissed Noah with all he could. Noah's hands grasped onto Luke's waist and pulled their bodies tighter against each other. Groans echoed through Luke's bedroom.

Will knocked again and waited. He could hear Scott moving around inside. He took a deep breath and let it out. He had to keep it together. Scott opened the door and a smile spread across his face. He looked happy to see Will.

"Sometimes the one you least expect will the first one to surprise you,"

"Now, you think about what you really want and what you are willing to lose and you'll have your answer," Noah's voice echoed in his head as he looked at his best friend. The cute blonde that had a smile that lit up any room he was in. That knew everything about him and didn't hold it against him. Will took one more breath and stepped into Scott's apartment. He took Scott's face in his hands and kissed him. Scott's heart started to thunder in his chest and he felt a bit dizzy. He grabbed onto Will's jacket lapels and pulled him deeper into the apartment. Will kicked the door shut and stumbled further into the apartment; his lips not leaving Scott's once. Shirts were thrown to the floor and pants were kicked off as they made their way into Scott's bedroom.

Noah pushed Luke back to sitting; his heart pounding in ears.

"What's wrong?" A flushed Luke asked as he looked down at his equally flushed boyfriend.

"We need to stop. As much as I would love to flip you over and tear your pants off with my teeth, we need to stop. Slow down," Noah's hands rested on Luke's thighs. Luke nodded and carefully extracted himself from Noah. Noah rose up and propped his body up on his elbows. He looked over a dejected Luke. "Hey. Look at me," Noah said and then brush hair behind Luke's ear. Luke looked up and wore an expression of expectation on his face. "I love you. I always have, but I also want us to be completely healthy when we can finally have sex again," Noah leaned closer to Luke; he could feel Noah's sweet coffee breath on his cheek. "Because, I gotta tell ya, I will not be able to hold back, at all," Noah whispered into Luke's ear. He watched as Luke's cheeks flushed and a shy smile shined. Noah sat up farther and reached his hand out to Luke. Luke looked up at Noah, laughed lightly, and slipped his hand into Noah's. The brunette pulled and helped Luke to his feet. They walked back into the living room and returned to their coffee.

They had been in the living room for no more than two minutes when they both heard Scott's door slam shut. Their shared confused looks and went to the door. After a check out into the hall and saw no one, they sat down on the sofa and Luke cuddled into Noah's side. Noah curled his arm around Luke's shoulders and pulled him even closer. Luke let out a sigh and Noah rested his cheek on Luke's head. Both men sat quietly like until they heard a moan.

And it was coming from outside.

More accurately, it was coming from Scott's apartment. Luke looked up at Noah and Noah looked down at Luke. Louder moans quickly followed. The noises coming from the other apartment and the close proximity to each other was making the room really warm. The two men pulled away from each other and sat up on the sofa. Noah flipped on the TV and Luke picked up a magazine. The action coming from the other apartment continued to get louder. Luke and Noah shared a few side glances; each having a reaction from hearing Will and Scott having some fun. It was getting harder and harder (no pun intended), from them to sit there and hear them. Noah turned the volume up on the TV.

"AHHHH! HARDER! DON'T STOP! OH GOD!" Scott's voice traveled down the hall.

"Maybe we should…,""Do you wanna?" They said at the same time. They both nodded and grabbed their coats. They entered the hallway and made for the stairs.

They were lucky to get out of there with their clothes still on. They walked the neighborhood, had dinner at Mikey's, and casually made their way back to apartment. Regardless of the circumstances of their departure, they had a nice date out. They walked up onto Luke's floor and walked slowly to his door. They listened as they went; checking to see if the coast was clear. Maybe they were all wore out and the rest of the night would be free and clear.

They only hoped so. God knows that having to hear the duet from across the hall was making their medical induced abstinence even harder.

Well, I just love writing Scott and Will. I never thought that they would become major points in my story.

Let me know what you think. How would you end it? I know what I want to do, but I curious to hear from you guys.
