[rebelchic2788]

Summary:
Popular. Jock. Outspoken. Handsome. Straight.
These are all words you would use to describe Luke Snyder
Luke's just your normal average teenager. An excellent basketball player he's on track for a full ride scholarship. His parents Lily and Damian Grimaldi couldn't be prouder and Luke's never been more popular with the kids at school. Luke however, is miserable. Isolated from the rest of his family, he's thrown himself into playing basketball only to please his parents but dreams of studying creative writing at university.

Meet Noah Mayer: Quiet. Straight A student. Bookworm
He's also gay

He's everything Luke wants to be.

So what happens when their two worlds collide?

6 months later....
The minute the door closed behind them, they were all over each other.
It had been building all night between them, even during the last dance, Luke had been so hyper sensitive of Noah around him. Their sweaty hands together, the strong arm around his waist. He could smell Noah's aftershave and even his shampoo.
They’d had a wonderful time at prom together, dancing all night long, joking and mucking around with Maddie and Casey. The last song of the night had been a slow one, and even though Noah had joking complained that his leg was too sore, Luke dragged him out there anyway and they’d slowly moved together. Luke linking his hands together around Noah’s neck and Noah’s had rested in the small of his back. He was acutely aware of Noah half hard against his hip and he'd been unable keep from getting hard himself. He knew Noah could feel him, he could see it in the bright blue fire that burned in Noah’s eyes, as he’d leaned in close to whisper in Luke’s ear
“How about we go somewhere more…private?”
He breathlessly nodded and he’d barely had time to wave goodbye to Maddie and Casey before Noah was dragging him off the dance floor and out of the gymnasium to his truck.
Noah had teasingly produced a blindfold before whisking Luke away. They were happy, so happy and in love. Right now both randy, horny teenagers ready to consummate their relationship.

Noah couldn’t believe the change in Luke, it still all seemed like a dream. Luke had been by Noah’s side the entire time during his physical therapy and as Casey, Maddie and Holden all told him.
Instead of ruining their lives, this attack on Noah had been the best thing to have happened to both of them. Luke was a completely different person these days. A far cry from the sullen bad tempered boy he’d been. After coming out to his parents and Damian, it had lifted a huge weight from Luke’s shoulders. He was excelling at basketball and had been offered a scholarship to one of the most prestigious colleges in the state. Noah had been stunned when Luke told him he was turning it down because he’d been accepted into the literature program at Northwestern, to study with Noah while he was there on his film scholarship. It seemed that while Noah had been lying there in his coma Maddie and Casey had encouraged Luke to fill out an application form.
Things had also vastly improved with Luke’s relationship with Holden. Luke had moved back to the farm to live with Holden and Emma, much to the despair of Lily. Damian was in a jail cell awaiting extradition back to Malta for charges following being charged in Oakdale as well, after it was found out that Damian had paid Kevin and his friends to “rough” up Noah. Turns out Damian had had his suspicions about Luke all along and had been prepared to do anything to avoid his son from being anything other than the perfectly straight Grimaldi heir. As for Kevin and the other boys, they didn’t get very far before the police caught up them and arrested them, following Luke’s statement to Margo. All three were serving 1 year sentences for assault and battery, Mark receiving a longer sentence due to the additional drug charges the police had. Luke’s testimony had been the nail in the coffin for all three boys.
Luke and Lily’s relationship was on much better terms now with Damian out of the picture. Lily wasn’t so blind sighted by love and adoration for Damian now when the facts had come to light about Damian’s involvement in having Noah attacked and the way Damian had beaten up Luke. Lily had kicked him out and was living with Lucinda until the baby was born.
Lily had delivered a healthy baby boy 3 months later, whom she called Ethan. Luke had taken one look at his baby brother and had become instantly besotted. Noah loved watching Luke with Ethan. Luke was such a natural big brother and Ethan had clearly chosen Luke as his favourite refusing to settle down for anybody but him, although Luke was now convinced Faith and Natalie loved Noah more
Noah had received one visit from his father while in hospital recuperating. Noah had been told, in no uncertain terms that once Noah was better that he wasn’t to come home, that he was no longer welcome, and that he, Colonel Mayer, no longer had any son named Noah Mayer. Emma had promptly invited him to stay at the farm while he recovered and beyond, until he was ready to move out and into the dorms at Northwestern.
Noah was brought out of his thoughts by Luke tugging hastily at Noah’s shirt, untucking it from his pants, running hands up Noah’s back and Noah obligingly helped by reaching for Luke’s shirt as well, both clumsily unbuttoning each other’s shirts in between hard, bruising kissing, pushing shirts off shoulders, the feel of bare skin incredibly intense after so many weeks of intense build up.
Luke drew back for a moment, chest heaving and lips kiss swollen, his brown eyes incredibly dark, and pupils blown wide. Their eyes connected and Noah could see the love he felt for Luke reflected right back at him.
Luke’s hand slid down and Noah’s heart skipped a couple of beats as Luke’s fingers teased and flirted with Noah’s belt buckle.
Luke sank to his knees, and swallowed thickly as he came to eye level with Noah’s crotch. Luke raised his head and looked up at Noah, wordlessly asking permission to continue, and Noah nodded, biting back a moan as Luke tentatively ran his fingers over the bulge in Noah’s pants, taking his time, seemingly oblivious to Noah and everything else around him. So different to the very first time they’d gotten each other off, their drunken fumbling’s way back when. It had lasted even 15 minutes and now they had all the time in the world to explore each other and Luke was going to take full advantage.
Luke was staring at Noah intently as he slowly unbuttoned Noah’s pants, waiting for a sign whether he should stop or not. Noah held his gaze as he gave a small nod and a whimper of anticipation as Luke carefully ran the zipper down over his erection. His eyes closed involuntarily as the uncomfortable tightness eased with the loosening of his pants. He groaned as Luke touched him, almost losing it right there as Luke touched him with swift strokes. If Noah didn’t know any better he’d say Luke was far more experienced than he was letting on.
“Luke, c’mon!”
Luke huffed out a laugh and watched as the air wafted over Noah’s erection, making it twitch as the air tickled over it. When Luke spoke his voice was low and rough.
“Tell me what you want.”
“Suck me, Luke, suck me please.”
Luke needed no more encouragement than that and he eagerly went to work, Noah’s moans spurring him on. This was good, better than good, the salt of Noah’s skin and sweat, hot under his tongue. He leaned back to lick around the sensitive head of Noah’s cock, tonguing the ridge there to make Noah nearly crawl out of his skin in pleasure. Luke could hear Noah moaning above him and he hummed in response, just to hear Noah’s breath go high and thready. He glanced up again and saw Noah’s face twisted into ecstatic agony, stripped down until all that was left was something almost primal, open and expressive.
His own hand went to his aching erection still trapped inside his pants, throbbing, hard and heavy.
“Don’t” Noah said roughly, tugging on Luke’s hair, not hard enough to hurt, but still pulling Luke’s attention back to him.
“Its mine.”
Luke worked the head around with his mouth and kept both hands going, and he felt Noah get a bit harder and then go still beneath him. Luke felt a jolt of pleasure roll over him and he sucked hard, drawing a keening noise from Noah that echoed in the room.
Noah was so damn close that it was spiralling too quickly out of his control. He could feel it slipping, his orgasm growing in his gut, quickly gaining momentum. It was over before he knew it, thundering through him like a runaway train, pulsing into Luke’s mouth before he even had a chance of warning him. Luke coughed and backed off, stroking Noah through the last shudders.
Luke rose, sliding back up Noah’s body, kissing his heaving chest on the way by and sharing a kiss when they were face to face, sharing Noah’s flavour between the two of them.
Noah’s hand found Luke’s cock and he began stroking him, hand tugging strong and even twisting over the head of his cock and moving in time with his tongue thrusting into Luke’s mouth.
Then, they were moving together, bodies writhing, shifting and thrusting, friction bringing Luke closer and closer to the edge. Noah’s ears were full of Luke’s long groans and his spare hand was everywhere, stroking over Luke’s ribs, tweaking his nipples. Noah broke the kiss to bite and suck at Luke’s neck, knowing there would be a mark - and a primal part of him was proud of that. Noah turned his head blindly and Luke caught his mouth. They were kissing again, the sensations building and growing until they became an unstoppable force, Noah could feel it overtaking Luke as his body drew tight as a bowstring.
Luke howled as he spurted, the feeling unbelievable and Noah kept stroking him, riding him right through his orgasm and out on the other side, until he was limp and Noah had to hold him upright to keep him from falling into a puddle of goo on the bedroom floor.
After Luke was able to move again, they made their way over to the large king size bed in the middle of the room falling down on it together in a mass of tangled limbs.
Now fully at ease with each other, they gave themselves over to the delight of exploring each other - the taste of skin, the sensitive spots of both of their bodies, and the scent of their desire. They lost track of time as they explored each other with hands and mouths, pleasing and being pleased, inflamed by the slide of bare skin against bare skin, both of them fully naked now.
Noah seemed to have this way of touching him, as if he was learning him, memorizing and committing him to memory. His touched seemed to permeate his skin, reaching deep into his soul and grasping a hold of his heart and squeezing it tight.
Need mounted with every touch, until they were both shaking with an intensifying ache, from the need to take and be taken. Within a matter of minutes both Luke and Noah were hard again. Luke arching up against Noah, opening his legs wide as Noah’s hand went lower as he rubbed lube between Luke’s legs and over his entrance. Another questioning look, and Luke nodded, tensing a little in discomfort as one, then two fingers entered him, and Noah stopped, afraid he was hurting Luke, but Luke pulled him closer and kissed him, breathing slowly and deeply until the pain had passed and he relaxed, secure in Noah’s arms.
Noah moved his fingers then and touched something deep within Luke. A sharp bolt of pleasure seared through Luke and he gasped, spots dancing in front of his eyes. Noah noticed the reaction and did it again and again, until Luke was writhing on the bed, nearly boneless with pleasure, forgetting about everything except the sensations Noah was causing his body to feel.
When Noah couldn’t take it anymore, he lurched up onto his knees, searching desperately, and retrieving the small bottle of lube he’d placed on the dresser earlier. The lube pools in his palm, cold but quickly heating up as Noah tipped the bottle and he spread it between his fingers until they slid together.
“Ready?” Noah asked, almost at the bursting point himself. Luke nodded and started to turn on his stomach, but changed his mind. The books and the internet articles he’d read up on had explained that the first time for guys was easier for most on their stomach and it had seemed like a good idea at the time, but now that Luke was here, in the moment with Noah, he wanted to see him, see his emotions and to have that connection between the two of them.
Luke made a mewl of protest when Noah pulled away to retrieve the condoms, lifting himself up on to his elbows to watch. Seeing Noah’s hands shake as they struggled with the condom packet, it filled Luke with a warm satisfaction, more than he realised. It showed Luke that Noah was just as nervous about this as he was.
Noah drew closer, fitting himself perfectly between Luke’s spread legs and they kissed tenderly, Noah bringing his hand up to caress Luke’s cheek and his temple, stroking his hair back, and using his other hand as he guided himself slowly into Luke. Luke tensed as a sharp, stretching pain burned through him and he hissed into Noah’s neck, nails digging into Noah’s shoulder, but pushing himself forward, as he worked through accepting Noah into his body.
Noah held very still, his lips pressing against Luke’s temple as he waited for the pressure and constriction to ease. Luke whimpered, feeling a sob rising in his chest.
“Shhhh,” Noah soothed him, taking one hand in his, lacking their hands together.
“I got you,” he murmured “I got you, Luke.”
Luke caught Noah’s gaze, worry shining in blue eyes alongside the desire, and he squeezed their hands together.
“Go slow,” Luke said quietly.
Noah nudged forward a little and they both groaned. Big, so big, almost too big to fit, except all Luke had to do was tilt his hips and bear down and suddenly something seemed to give way and Noah slid all the way in. Luke trembled and Noah whispered “Hurts?” and Luke bit his lip and nodded, because it did, yet somehow at the same time it didn’t, strange and wonderful. The pain was receding, slow tendrils of heat and pleasure hidden underneath breaking through, starting too dominant over the pain.
Noah took Luke’s mouth in a kiss and Luke lost himself to the sensations. Noah’s lips were warm and smooth on his own, one hand still stroking his face while the other wrapped around him, slick with lube.
“Please move, just move, please,” he whispered.
“I don’t want to hurt you,” Noah admitted softly “Luke…are you sure?”
“Yes, please Noah. Just do it, please.”
The first deep stroke was nearly enough to take Noah over the edge. The second one elicited a groan from Luke and the third makes Luke’s hips rise up off the bed. Noah loses count after that, pushing into Luke deep, hard and fast, until all the tension that has twisted inside of him shatters in one single, brilliant moment.
And then just it was too much, just as Luke didn’t think he could take it one more moment, as Noah is groaning out his own satisfaction, somehow he seemed to remember Luke and dropped his hand into the shadow between their moving bodies, and wrapping his fingers around Luke’s cock. Ruthless, fast and pitiless he stroked, bordering on too much and yet not enough at the same time, except maybe it was just perfect because pleasure exploded in Luke’s body with such force that he couldn’t breathe in the wake of it, as black spots take over the edges of his vision.
When Luke came back to himself, they’re still gripping each other close, and Noah could feel Luke’s heart racing, past the rush of his own heart, both of them loud in his ears.
They lie still for a long time. Noah’s fingers trailed over Luke’s back, up and down drawing lines and circles. Luke listened to Noah’s heart, his head cushioned on Noah’s chest, hearing it slowing down in tandem with his own, frantic, galloping beats becoming a steady thump-thump-thump
The beat was soothing and comforting, and Luke was startled to find tears prickling at his eyes. He tried to hide it from Noah, but it seemed the harder he tried to stop them, the harder and faster the tears came. Pretty soon he was sobbing, the whole bed seeming to shake with it and capturing Noah’s attention.
Noah drew him close, and Luke clung to him, sobbing into the crook of his neck, soaking up the silent comfort Noah provided.
Noah waited patiently, rubbing soothingly up and down his back until Luke was spent drained, all the while waiting for Luke to collect himself.
"Sorry," Luke croaked wiping his eyes on the corner of the sheet.
Noah kissed him, just a soft little peck. “I didn’t hurt you did I?”
“Oh Noah,” Luke laughed softly “Of course not, you were kind and wonderful and it was just amazing, it’s not that.”

He sat up facing Noah, and laced their fingers together, taking a deep breath

"You know it’s just that I never thought we'd get to where we are now, what we've overcome but we made it, somehow against all the odds.”
“That day, in the bathroom when I first kissed you, I know I ran away and denied it, but I wanted it so much, I’d been fighting it for so long, and it just felt so right. It was the first time I’ve ever admitted to myself who I truly was
"When you were unconscious, It felt like I couldn’t breathe not knowing whether you'd be ok or not, and I promised myself, that when you woke up I wouldn't waste another moment not being who I was meant to be and tonight its like its all come together perfectly I never would have seen myself where I am today without you.”
“I was in such a dark place with my drinking, living with Damian and Lily so self destructive. I’m only sorry it took us so long to get here”
“Noah, you have to know how much I love you, ok.” Luke said almost desperately. “You mean everything to me, Thank you for never giving up on me, even when I was pushing you away.”

“Oh Luke,” Noah breathed, bending his head and kissing their intertwined fingers.
“You are so passionate and caring and even though it took us a while to get here, were here now, so much stronger together.” “I know I am, and it’s all thanks to you.”

“You know, Luke I was out and I am proud of who I am, but it wasn’t easy you know. This past year has been one of the most challenging of my life.”
“Those days I was bullied and pushed around were some of the worst days of my life.”
“And then you kissed me.” “And all of a sudden it was as if I could see the light at the end of the tunnel.” “So at the same time, its been the best year of my life too.”
“Being with you has made me the happiest I have ever been.”

“Casey and Maddie are my best friends in the entire world but they’re together as a couple and so often I would feel lonely, or left out or a third wheel when they’d invite me to come along to the movies with them
Being with you has changed all of that for me.”
“I’m so proud of you for what you’ve accomplished this last 6 months. People other than me are finally getting to see the real Luke Snyder and that’s fantastic.”

“I absolutely cannot imagine my life without you and I’m so excited for our future together, can’t you feel it, Luke?”
“It all begins here, tonight.”

“What does?” Luke said, grinning from ear to ear
“The rest of our lives.”
