Aaron suddenly stops.
'Luke? With you being in such a drunken stupor, maybe tomorrow would be a better time for you two to talk. Stay here.'
Aaron walked up the steps to tell Noah to come back tomorrow.
Luke, being stubborn, staggered, stumbled and tripped up the porch steps and fell flat on his stomach, banging his head on the wooden floor and swore 'Oww..Shit..Fuckin' steps kept moving.'
Both Aaron and Noah came to his rescue, each grasping an arm and raised him up.
Luke looked up at Noah and promptly jerked his arm from Noah's grasp.
Aaron and Noah noticed then that Luke was cut and was bleeding above his eyebrow and had a nasty red bump in the middle of his forehead.
Aaron guided Luke to the bench and laid him down. He then excused himself to get a wet towel and an ice pack. When he came back, he handed all of it to Noah.
He then whispered to Noah 'I picked him up at a bar downtown. It would probably be best if you left Noah, and let him sleep this off. He can be a real shit head when he's this drunk.'
Noah sighed.
Aaron told Luke goodbye and hoped he would feel better soon, then left.

Noah walked cautiously toward Luke. He took the towel and wiped some of the blood off Luke's face before he got slapped away. Noah hurriedly put the ice pack on Luke's forehead, over the bump. Luckily, Luke left it there.

Noah asked quietly ' Do you want me to help you get to your bed?
Luke snapped 'Why? So you can fuck me like you did your roommate? What's his name Noah?
Noah meekly replied Matt.
'What? What is his name?' Luke said getting angry
'It's Matt' Noah said louder. 'Matt... Matt Lade
Luke laughed incredulously 'Are you fucking kidding me?' He sat up swaying, meeting Noah's eyes. 'Are you...are you saying that..you, you got laid... by Matt Lade? That is too fucking hilarious, just perfect Noah...laid by lade...bravo Noah you found your perfect match. Just think if you two got married and you hyphenated your name you would be' Luke laughs sarcastically. 'You would be Mr. Noah Mayer-Lade / Matt Lade.
And after you fucked, you could say' Luke laughing again 'Noah Mayer-Lade laid Matt Lade.'

Noah was sick of Luke's behavior. He didn't deserve to be treated like shit. He raised his voice and loudly said 'Nothing happened, we didn't fuck, you idiot why won't you listen?' Yeah he fondled me but I didn't know it was him. I thought it was you.'

'Really Noah, I have never been to your dorm room before, remember? How would I even know where to go? You're so full of cover ups and lies you don't even remember stuff. So tell me Noah, how could you think it was me?

'I did think it was you. I was having a dirty dream about you and..'
Luke interrupted 'So when did you realize it wasn't me huh? When it wasn't me sitting by you, when it wasn't me hugging you, kissing you, touching you, grabbing your cock? When Noah when? When you kissed Matt back Hmm.. NO! When you pulled him on top of you? NO!. Well fuck you Mayer!!'
The door opened and holden stepped out wearing a robe. "Guys, can you keep it down, or go somewhere else? There are people trying to sleep in here. Luke? Is your head alright?'
Both boys looked down at the floor.
Luke answered 'Yes dad its fine.'
Noah said "Yes sir, sorry, we'll keep it down.'
After his dad turned his back and went inside, Luke gave Noah the finger.

'I guess I'll leave' Noah sighed quietly.
'You do that!'
Noah waited for Luke to ask him to stay but Luke yelled 'Go, get away from me you bitch!
Noah looked down and shook his head. 'Your a real asshole when your drunk.'
'And your just an asshole!' Luke screamed at Noah.
Holden came back and asked Luke to come inside and calm down and asked Noah to leave.
At that moment, a car drove up. Holden said 'Great more company.'
'Actually dad, I'm going out, see you tomorrow,'
'No more drinking tonight Luke.' holden said sternly.
Luke got up angrily from the bench and gave Noah his 'Fuck you' look. He threw the ice pack at him.
Roth came running up. I just thought I'd come over and make sure you made it home o.k.'
Luke thanked him for his concern. 'What's with the bump?' Roth asked touching it gently.
'Oh that? Occupational hazard.' Luke laughed. Roth smiled. Luke took Roth's arm as he began to teeter. Roth caught him. "Hey Noah, how's it going?'
'Could be a lot better if you left.' Noah heatedly said as he stared at Luke resting his head on Roth's shoulder. 'Is he still mad at you?' Roth whispered to Noah.
Noah nodded his head. 'So why did you get him drunk?' To take advantage of him? I know you want to fuck him Roth. Did you?' Noah ran his fingers through his dark brown hair. His gorgeous blue eyes tuned dark as he stared at Roth waiting for his answer.
'God no! He's just a good friend, you know that. I couldn't seduce him away from you. Your my friend too.' I invited him to the bar because we both felt like a drink but I guess Luke isn't much of a drinker.' Noah replied ' Oh he does drink, but I think he may have gotten drunk on purpose.'
"yeah Luke told me about you two breaking up.Thats too bad.' Roth commented.
Luke lifted his head off of Roth's shoulder. 'Don't talk about me like I'm not here. Luke grumbled.
Noah persisted 'Come with me Luke, your dad wants us to leave so your family can sleep.
'Nuh uh..Noah, I ain't going.. to where.. you want me ..to go.' Luke stuttered.
Roth spoke up ' I can take him Noah.'
Noah was getting jealous.
Luke egged Roth on. 'Mmm where do you want to ..."take"...me Roth..baby.'
Noah flew off the handle and took Luke from Roth.
"Hey!' shouted Luke who didn't see that coming.
Noah grabbed Luke's arms firmly, looked Luke in the eyes, and firmly stated 'I don't care where you are or who your with, don't you ever call anyone 'baby' except me. I don't care if we're not together, I mean I do care about that..but that...that is what you call me, no one else! Got that?!! Noah's eyes teared up and he gave Luke back to Roth.
