Subject: Nate's Wounded Heart 6

Hello everyone I am so sorry it took me so long to get this chapter here
but I have been very busy and with school about to start I will be even
busier, but I promise I will keep the story going and will be sending you
guys more chapters to read.

The same old rules apply to this chapter, don't read this if you know
you're not supposed to or have problems with homosexuality.

Thank you all for the nice comments and I hope you guys like this.


      Chapter 6 -- Boyfriends?

      It had been over a week since Nate and Luke's first sexual
activity. They had blown each other a few times more after that and they
were already settling into school a little bit more. Luke loved his
anthropology introductory class because it mainly consisted of fieldwork
assignments. In addition, Nate could not be happier with the amount of
reading that he had, of which he had already read most. Becca had already
gone out on a date with Michael. After a brief dinner, a walk around campus
and after he had walked with her towards her room, Mike kissed her and she
felt like her knees were shaking, she lost herself into him and the next
thing she knew they were holding each other while still passionately
kissing.

      "We could go to my room." Mike told her.

      "Yes we could." She answered while nodding emphatically.

      "I mean we could stay here, but from what you say of your roommate we
shouldn't. Mine is gone for the night so..."

      Before he could finish she had jumped up and grabbed his head pulling
him down and then planted a kiss on his lips. "What are we waiting for?"
She said.

      They ran for his room and before even closing the door the two of
them were already disposing of their clothing by tossing it around
themselves on the floor while they moved towards the bed. Then as they were
standing right in front of the bed on the left side of the room, which
Becca figured was Mike's, she was already left only in her bra and panties,
while he was shirtless and in his boxers, she looked down and was thrilled
to see the nice tent that formed in Mike's boxers, then he moved towards
the door and saw it was still opened.

      "We wouldn't want anyone coming right?" He said and then he laughed
nervously, while closing the door.

      "No I think the two of us will do just fine." She said while licking
her lips.

      They began to kiss and he reached for her top, she began to pull his
boxers down. She loved how he looked, the way his narrow waist contrasted
with his broad chest and shoulders, the little patch of black hair right in
the middle of his pectorals, which she realized were very nicely built. The
sparkling of his blue eyes while he kissed her, it was just like he didn't
want to stop looking at her, not even while they kissed.

      "I must be dreaming." She said when she pulled apart to take some
air.

      "Then what a nice dream this is." He said with a devilish grin on his
face.

      He pulled her down on the bed and she knew she was lost.

      * * * * *

      As they sat at the dining hall, he saw a familiar face walking by and
it took him a few minutes to recognize Martin, their RA. He was standing in
line to get some food and so Luke decided as soon as he'd see him walk
towards a table he'd call him. After all he thought it would be good to
introduce him to Nate, knowing that besides him and Becca, Nate probably
didn't have that many friends. They were having lunch together, now they
had managed to coordinate a schedule so that they could have lunch or
dinner several times a week together so that nights wouldn't be their only
time together. Then Luke realized that Martin was already walking towards a
table, not far from them, Nate almost fell backwards when Luke yelled out
for him.

      "YOOOOO MARTIN!!" Luke yelled while waving.

      "Fuck, Luke you could've told me before scaring the shit out of
me... Who's Martin?" Nate asked while trying to clean some mayo that fell
out of his sandwich when he bit on it too hard startled by Luke's yell.

      His question was answered as Martin approached the table and shook
Luke's hand while balancing his tray on his other hand. "Hey Luke, hadn't
seen you in a while." He said, then he laid eyes on Nate and he reached to
shake his hand as well.

      "You're our RA aren't you?" Nate said while shaking Martin's hand. He
nodded while he looked from one to the other, from Luke to Nate and then
from Nate to Luke.

      "So Luke, aren't you going to introduce us?" Martin asked.

      "I'm Nate; I'm Luke's room..." He couldn't finish because Luke jumped
in.

      "He's my boyfriend." Luke said, while smiling.

      Nate's eyes widened and he felt a knot forming on his stomach. Now it
was his turn to look from one of them to the other. He looked at Martin who
looked disappointed and was making a smirk and then he looked at Luke who
was still smiling, he felt like yelling at him until Martin spoke.

      "I knew someone was going to catch you! The hot ones never are single
for too long." Martin said while shaking his head.

      Nate's jaw dropped, he looked once again to Luke and when he saw the
stupid grin that he was giving him and how he looked away from him, he
riddled it out.

      "You knew he'd be cool with it but decided to scare me anyways didn't
you?" Nate asked Luke. Luke burst out laughing at him.

      Martin started laughing too. "You've got a boyfriend with a very
wicked sense of humor here Nate." He said while cleverly devouring his meal
at the same time, and yet his words were all intelligible.

      "I'm good in bed too, right baby?" Luke said as he ran his hand up
Nate's thigh.

      The sudden attention directed to his thigh made Nate gasp and Martin
laughed even more. Nate felt so embarrassed that he slapped Luke's
hand. Luke withdrew his hand from under the table and pouted at him.

      "Just to think of the two of you going at it..." Martin said while
looking into the air, he took a deep breath and a smile drew across his
face.

      Now Nate knew that he had gotten as red as a tomato. He started
mumbling, trying to say something and then he heard both Luke and Nate
start laughing.

      "He's so cute!" Martin said, while smiling.

      "Ask me, I get to cuddle with him... that's the best." Luke said
while beaming and Nate saw that Luke actually blushed a little.

      He was stunned to hear Luke speaking of the two of them like this to
someone else; it was bad enough that he had sneaked out with Becca to give
her details of their sex, while he was still in the room and they were in
the restroom where he could still hear the two of them. But to tell some
guy and right in front of him... That he was going to pay for. But still
Luke had blushed, something he didn't see him do too often, which made him
think that he was actually saying it without any malice.

      "You two are very lucky to have found each other." Martin told the
two of them before shoving some salad in his mouth.

      He had to admit it, Martin was really nice. "Thank you Martin, now
are you two going to tell me when did you meet? Because after that lecture
you gave us on the floor I don't think the two of you started hanging out."
Nate asked the two of them.

      "I went to read outside, remember it was on our first few days here,
and I saw him talking on his cell phone, well more like complaining on his
cell phone..." Luke said, then Martin laughed and jumped in.

      "Yeah I know, I was complaining for having been assigned to you
freshmen, I'm a junior and I had freshmen last year, this is my second year
as an RA." He took a sip of some orange juice he had on his tray. "Freshmen
are always harder to deal with, but some of them, like you guys are
actually worth the whole experience."

      "You just say that because you'd like to get us in bed." Luke said
while shaking his head at Martin.

      "Well the three of us in bed... That would be fun." Nate said, and it
was now Luke and Martin that fell silent in shock of what Nate had said.

      * * * * *

      "So you liked Martin?" Luke asked now that he and Nate were alone in
their room.

      Nate looked at him and furrowed his brow. "Well yeah, even though you
tried to scare the shit out of me with all you said to him." He answered.

      Luke looked away from him and back to the book that he was
reading. He didn't want to think of himself as jealous but he couldn't help
it, he had felt this way ever since hours earlier when Nate had expressed
his thoughts on having sex with Martin. He had to admit that he did want to
make Nate a little scared by spilling out some info on Martin, but mainly
so that Nate could see that they could tell people and that people would
accept them. But he hadn't expected him to go and say something like.

      "Ok, I don't know you from so long but I do know something is wrong
so, say it." Nate said breaking the silence that had come after his answer
for Luke's question.

      Luke blushed; he didn't know that he was being that
obvious. "Well...No forget it, it probably is nothing... I'm just... Well
you..." He couldn't pick the words and Nate was now smiling at him.

      "Now I'm sure something is wrong." Nate said, he got up and out of
his desk, then he moved towards Luke's bed and he sat next to Luke, looking
him straight in the eye. "Now calm down, remember you can tell me, if I get
pissed I promise not to stare at you like I did a few weeks ago." He smiled
but the look he got from Luke told him that his attempt at humor had
failed.

      "Ok not funny and I think I just feel... You know... Well jealous."
Luke said and quickly looked away from Nate.

      "Jealous? Why would you feel Jealous?" Nate asked, and as Luke
wouldn't look at him, he reached with his hand and pulled Luke's chin so
that he was now facing him.

      Luke's face reddened. "Well you know you sort of implied that you
wanted to have sex with Martin..." He looked away again.

      "Oh so, you can go ahead and tell him that we are boyfriends when I
don't even know who he is, and scare the shit out of me, but I can't flirt
back to him after I meet him and like him? Come on Luke, besides if I'd
wanted to fuck him or be with him don't you think I would've picked a
different time to tell him instead of saying it in front of you?" Nate
spoke so fast that at the last words he was running out of air.

      Luke got so red and angry that he didn't know what to say, every time
that he would open his mouth he wasn't able to actually say something, it
took him a few attempts and after he saw Nate chuckling it was that he
actually managed to speak up. "This is all just because I told him that
we're boyfriends, that's why you're mad!" Luke managed to get out.

      Nate stiffened and the look he gave Luke was just as bad as the one
he had given him repeated times a few weeks before. "If you want to act
like a stupid kid then go ahead but leave me out of it, I don't really have
time for this." Nate said and got up. He moved back to his desk and he sat
and went back to his work.

      "Ok don't worry I get it, you don't want us to be boyfriends, that's
okay, I guess..." Luke said struggling to fight the tears that he felt
coming.

      "Is that what this is all about? Is it because you don't know what we
are?" Nate asked once again getting up and moving towards Luke.

      "Well you've never said anything, what do you want me to think?" Luke
said, starting to sob.

      Nate got on the bed and tried to wrap his arms around Luke, Luke
struggled a bit but then he just let Nate hold him. "Of course I want to be
your boyfriend, why wouldn't I?" He said to Luke's ear, trying to calm him
down, and then he gave him a small kiss on the cheek.

      "I don't know, I mean you never said anything..." Luke said, and then
sobbed a little more.

      "Well you didn't ask me. But if you ask me I do want to be your
boyfriend." Nate said and then hugged Luke tighter.

      "I do want you to be, I mean I always have but I didn't know..." Luke
said, now calming down a little.

      "Well neither did I, neither one of us can read minds, so if you had
asked then you would've found out from the beginning." Nate said.

      "Ok then how about this one, do you still want to have sex with
Martin?" Luke asked.

      "No, and I never said I wanted to, I said it would be fun to, and I
was joking, I knew that would put the two of you in your place. Let's just
say it was some vengeance for scaring me. You're the only one I want to
have sex with you idiot." Nate answered, and then he leaned closer and
kissed Luke on the lips.

      After the kiss, Luke smiled. "I think I like that answer"

      * * * * *

      "Ok, so you and that hot piece of straight ass had sex on your first
date?" Nate asked not believing what he was getting from the info Becca had
just given him.

      "After our first date actually." She corrected him.

      "Dayyyyyyyyumn." He said wide-eyed.

      "It's not like I don't have needs you know, a girl's gotta get some
loving every once in a while you know!" She said while blushing and trying
to suppress some laughter.

      "Yeaaaaaaaah I know, but still on a first date..." He could not
finish because Becca punched him in the shoulder.

      "Finish that sentence and I'll kick your butt down all the way back
home to your folks." Becca said while pointing her finger at him and
glaring at him.

      "Ok, ok I'll be good I promise..." Nate said while holding his hands
up before him acquiescing to her aggressiveness.

      She visibly calmed down and started to look at their surroundings,
the dining hall was crowded with people and after about a month of being in
school, she was already starting to get familiar with the faces that
frequented the dining hall. Then a thought came into her mind and disturbed
her, she stayed silent for a few minutes as Nate started to devour the
salad that he had on his plate and then he moved on to his mashed
potatoes. She thought it was best not to ask, but then she thought if she
tried to ask and make it sound funny then Nate would probably react better.

      "Talking about your folks, how are Mr. Redneck and Mrs. Hick?" She
asked after picking the words that they used the most back in high school
to talk about Nate's parents. Nate choked on his food and she immediately
regretted it and thought he was about to storm out, but then she saw him
smiling and heard him begin to chuckle after he managed to swallow the food
in his mouth.

      "I dunno... Haven't heard of them in a long time and I am in no hurry
to go and call them. Just as long as they don't mess with me I won't mess
with them." Nate replied and then he started eating his mashed potatoes
again.

      She smiled now that she realized that being at a big distance from
his parents Nate had begun to relax and had stopped worrying about them as
much as she remembered he would back in high school.

      "So are you and Mike just gonna be getting it on or are you planning
on having something serious with him?" Nate asked before taking a sip of
his ginger ale.

      She pondered about it for a few seconds and then remembered the last
boyfriend she had in high school. "Well, I think I'm going to just have fun
with him and then we'll see where it goes."

      Nate smiled and nodded. "Well if you get knocked up Luke and I can
adopt the kid you know."

      He got up and started running before she even had a chance to punch
him this time. "I'll get you for that one Nate!" She yelled to him as he
reached the exit and placed the straps of his back pack on his shoulders.

      "You were always to slow for me Becks." He said grinning and then he
blew a kiss to her as he exited.

      A few people in the dining hall had turned their heads and were
looking at them, and now that Nate had left their attention was now on
Becca. "God I fucking love that idiot." She said while sitting back down.
