Noah woke up the next morning to find himself alone in bed. He looked around. Luke's side of the bed was still warm. He got out of bed and wandered towards the bathroom.

He saw Luke in the shower and smiled. He watched as Luke washed shampoo out of his hair. He loved Luke's body. His broad chest with just enough hair. His muscular arms and legs. He watched the silhouette for a little while and then approached the shower.

Luke turned as Noah pulled back the curtain and stepped inside. "You scared me. Haven't you ever seen Psycho."

Noah moved close to Luke and put his arms around his waist. "That wasn't my intent. I woke up and you weren't there. I thought we could pick up where we left off last night."

Luke smiled. "Oh really."

Noah smiled, as he pulled Luke in for a deep kiss and pulled him into his semi-hard cock. "Really."

Luke stepped back and looked down at Noah's cock. He then looked up at Noah and smiled as he lowered himself to his knees. "Well, we can't let something like that go to waste can we."

Noah shook his head. "No we can't."

Noah had just finished his "real" shower and was drying himself off. "You know they always have those cheap movies on campus? Do you want to go check one out tonight?"

Luke was doing his hair. "What some old black and white film?"

Noah wrapped his towel around his waist. "Maybe some of them, but they have several different ones. I'm sure there's something that is from the last couple of decades."

Luke turned to face Noah. "I'm just kidding. I'd love to. What do you say we grab dinner and make a date of it."

Noah put his arms around Luke's waist. "Oh a date. Does that mean that I have to pay?"

Luke smiled. "Yeah and I'm not one of those cheap dates like your use to."

Noah smiled. "Like I'm use to?"

Luke nodded. "That's right. They'll be none of that kissing in the back row during the dark scenes."

Noah frowned. "How about putting my arm around you?"

Luke stepped in closer. "I guess that will be okay."

Noah kissed Luke. "I think the shows start at seven, so be ready by six so that we have time for dinner."

Luke turned and continued working on his hair. "I'm not the one that is always late."

Noah looked at Luke and smiled. "Yeah right."

Luke and Noah came out of the movie. Luke had his arm through Noah's. "That wasn't a bad movie."

Noah put his hand on top of Luke's "It was okay. Kind of predictable."

Luke stopped. "Well, I guess, but that was the whole point of the movie. Serendipity, the title says it all."

Noah shrugged. "I guess, but leaving your life in the hands of fate?"

Luke stopped and put his hands on Noah's face. "I think that fate brought us together."

Noah smiled. "Really."

Luke nodded. "Think of all the things that we have been through. Your father did everything that he could to keep us apart, but look at us."

Noah kissed Luke. "Yeah, that's true."

Luke thought. "You know that movie gave me another idea. What do you say we go skating?"

Noah frowned at Luke. "Skating?"

Luke nodded. "Yeah, I think the rink is open until 10 and it's only 9. Come on."

Noah hesitate. "I haven't skated in ages."

Luke pulled on Noah's arm. "Don't worry. I won't let you fall."

Noah was lacing up his skates. "I'm not so sure about this."

Luke was standing in front of Noah. "You are probably one of the most athletic people that I know. It'll come back to you."

Noah got up from the bench. "Okay, here I come."

Noah was kind of wobbly at first, but fairly quickly got his legs. "See I knew you could do it."

Noah was sill a little unsteady. Holding on to Luke's arm. "Now I know how you felt when you first started walking again."

Luke nodded. "Yeah and I'm here for you like you were there for me."

The two men skated around the rink. Holding hands and enjoying the crisp air. The rink was practically empty and even if it wasn't, they probably wouldn't have noticed. Noah started to skate towards the bench. "I think that I've had enough."

Luke followed Noah. They sat down and began to put their shoes back on. "You know you kind of remind me of him."

Noah looked up from his shoe. "Who?"

Luke tied his shoe. "John Cusack."

Noah sat up. "Really?"

Luke nodded. "A little. He's a lot older though."

Noah went back to tieing his shoe. "Oh you mean looks."

Luke shook his head. "No that's not all. Your not believing in fate."

Noah got up and picked up his skates. "It's not that I don't believe in fate. I just think that you can't just let your life be ruled by it."

Luke looked at Noah. "I don't think that either, but I do think that there is a plan and even if you make certain choices you still will end up where you are meant to be."

Noah pulled Luke close. "Like the choices that I made. I chose to follow my father's rules, but that didn't stop me from falling in love with you. No matter how much I tried to deny it."

Luke looked into Noah's eyes. "Sort of. I was the same way. From the moment that I touched your hand. I knew that something was there, but I tried to push it aside. The more I pushed the more I felt. We were just meant to be I think."

Noah started to look sad. "If that's true why did we have to go thorough all of the other stuff. My father being the worse part of it."

Luke kissed Noah. "All that has just made us stronger and made me believe even more that you and I are meant to be."

Noah pulled Luke into a hug. "You know when I'm with you. I really do believe that. Let's go home."

Luke picked up his skates. "Okay."
