You turn the corner when you hear him flirting with another girl and roll your eyes. You walk towards the stairs to Nathan’s apartment and raise a brow.

"How old are you again?" You cross your arms, staring at him.

Chris turns around and furrows his brows, confused as to what you’re getting at. "What?"

"How old are you? You're not in high school and yet you're preying on young girls, under the age of eighteen might I add which I believe would make you a pervert." You turn to the girl he’s been talking to and lean in, “you can go now.”

She nods and scoots around him so she can leave.

He scoffs, rubbing his face in annoyance. “Chris Keller is offended and not a pervert."

You lean in closer to him, "would you really prefer it if I called you a pedo?"

His eyes widened. "Man, you're cold."

Your shoulders deflate as your eyes soften, "aw, Brooke taught me well." You spin around and catch her gaze as she walks closer to you, throwing her arm around your shoulders.

"I did and I'm so proud."

You both throw your heads back and chuckle.

He shakes his head, watching the two of you take the lead and walk up the stairs to hangout in your boyfriend's apartment but not before adding, "I know you're checking someone out, you pervert. I would say kiss my ass, but you can't so, suck a d-"

Peyton and Haley have never pulled you away from the railing as fast as they have in all their lives while Brooke throws her head back and laughs, clapping her hands to where it sounds like she’s smacking her hands together.

-

The guys get out of the car and walk towards the defeated musician. Nathan glances up when he hears your laughter.

He can’t help but chuckle, knowing you had something to do with Chris’ defeated look. "What happened?"

The musician lifts his head, staring at the youngest Scott boy with a defiant attitude.

Before Nathan decided to officially ask you out and not hide his feelings from you, he made sure to put the infamous Chris Keller in his place.

"The one in your hoodie is mean."

The Scott brother's glance at one another and nod.

"Makes sense," Lucas says.

He and Haley always liked your style and the way you carry yourself, which explains why you’ve been friends with them for as long as you have.

It helps him when the other guys on the team want to try and pick on him or if a certain guy who refers to himself in the third person needs to be put in his place. But the downer for those who come across your mean streak is-

"She and Brooke have been hanging out a lot.”

“We've never known someone to have the same amount of brazen personality as Brooke until they met and, as Brooke likes to say, they “clicked”. I’m surprised you made it as far as you have," Nathan adds.

"She hurt Chris Keller's feelings."

"Something tells me, she doesn't care," Nathan tells him before heading up the stairs.

“Tell your brother to control his girl.”

Lucas shakes his head, “I’d rather not. She can get pretty mean if I try to tell her to do something.”

Mouth and Skills chuckle to themselves as they pass him.

“I wouldn’t take what she means to a heart man,” the latter tells him.

The blond pouts. “How would you take it if she called you a perv?”

“I’m not, so I don’t have to worry about it.”

Mouth nudges his friend in the side, causing him to whine. “What he means is, you should watch what you say, or you get the look.”

“The look?”

Mouth nods, “the look.”

The two walk away from him, leaving him to follow behind and see the infamous look that your friend was talking about.

He chuckles and thanks whatever karma was in his side to prevent him from getting a stare down from you.

an unkindness of ravens: season one

now playing: i don't want to be by gavin degraw

about one tree hill season one series masterlist

taglist: @yailtsv @jadasogay @iwantahockeyhimbo (reach out to be added)

wc: 3.5k

featuring: friends to lovers trope; the plot of one tree hill season one; mentions of coming out and a secret relationship; conversations about a car accident and someone in a coma; slight angst but mainly fluff; lowkey bullying, but not towards paige or reader

summary: junior year at tree hill was supposed to be fun. sure there's hard work, college preparations, and the normal teenage drama, but nobody was prepared for everything else. a lost championship, romantic revelations, and two brothers connecting in ways bigger than the court.

paige bueckers is as well known as nathan scott in the basketball community. she plays on the men’s team (since tree hill high doesn’t have the funding, or fanbase for a women’s one) and continues to put up crazy stat lines: 21 points, 11 assists, 5 steals. she’s also your girlfriend, and extremely down bad for you.

you’re the sweet and popular cheerleader of tree hill high; best friends with brooke davis and secretly dating paige bueckers.

the two of you are friends first, you always have been. growing up in a small town means everybody knows everybody, so it didn’t take long for your friend groups to intersect. brooke is friendly with peyton, who’s dating nathan, who is best friends with paige. that meant your paths were bound to cross at some point, and everyday you’re thankful that they did. paige is kind, loyal, and funny. she smiles in a way that makes your stomach flutter and your heart do jumping jacks. the more your groups intersect, the more you fall for each other. 

paige tells a joke, and she looks to see if you’re laughing at it. you search for an empty seat, and conveniently take the one next to her instead of brooke. you say hi to paige in the hallways, and she searches for you on the sidelines of her games in your cheer uniform.

you confess your feelings in the worst, yet most you way possible. you’re both a few drinks in at some party, and the words just tumble out.

“i like girls, and i’ve never told anybody that but i’m pretty sure it started when i was team bella in twilight. but now? now it’s definitely you.” “i think for me it was when i first saw you. in like middle school, with some justice outfit. i don’t remember, but i remember thinking that i wanted you.” “what if we just like kissed? then we’d have each other?”

then paige kisses you. it starts soft and slow, with a tiny bit of uncertainty. there’s no tongue, no teeth, just your lips pressed to hers while you both stay planted on the curb outside nathan’s house. then, it shifts. you turn to face her, she pulls your body closer. you hands grip her shoulders, fisting her tree hill warm up jacket, and hers hold the back of your neck. then the kiss becomes more intense. you want her, and she wants you. when you split apart, eyes dazed, she pulls her keys from her pocket, and holds them up like a trophy.

“want to go to my car?” you agree, easily. and while you would never believe it, this is the easiest it gets. 

the basketball season is in full swing, but of course, whitey always has something up his sleeve. so, when lucas scott, nathan’s half brother, is offered a spot on the team, nathan is ballistic. paige, ever the loyal one, feels the need to stand by her best friend’s side, no matter what. at least that’s what she tells you in the front seat of her car.

“i mean we don’t even know if he’s good, babe. and they have this whole rift going, which will definitely screw up the team’s mojo.” “maybe he’s good. i mean, he must play some type of ball if whitey even offered him a spot.” paige looks at you with raised eyebrows and an expression that can only be described as ‘are you serious’.  “c’mon. maybe he’s nice,” you try again. “it doesn’t matter if he’s nice, nathan is my best friend.”

somehow, you all end up at the rivercourt, watching lucas and nathan play for their spot on the team. you arrive with paige, nathan, and peyton. everybody is dressed casually; paige in gray sweats and a tee shirt, while you’re wearing jeans and a baby tee. you stand shoulder to shoulder with her, watching as lucas sinks basket after basket. lucas pulls up for the final jumper, the one he needs to take the lead and the win. everyone watches with baited breath; your arms crossed and paige’s jaw clenched. swish. nothing but net. 

“he’s good,” you observe. paige’s jaw remains clenched, “too good.” 

despite putting on a great show at the rivercourt, lucas doesn’t follow through in his debut game. he misses too many shots, causes too many turnovers, and does not live up to the hype that paige and nathan have set for the team. you almost feel bad for the guy, who is clearly trying his best, but now has to live up to the hype of his half-brother, and scrutiny of brooke davis.

“i’m sleeping with him. no questions asked.” “brooke,” you laugh, rolling your eyes.  “he’s handsome. c’mon you have to agree?” she says, nudging your shoulder.  you shake your head, a small smile on your face as you watch paige make a three point shot, despite being completely contested. “whatever you say, brooke.”

paige is always your ride home from practice. since the basketball team plays on one side of the gym while the cheer squad perfects their routines on the other. between drills, paige catches herself watching you doing back handsprings and cartwheels. she has to bite her lip to stop herself from smiling. sometimes, you watch her, focused on her toned arms and the authority in her voice as she calls out plays. miraculously, no one ever catches you making eyes across the gym. nobody except lucas scott, who is way too observant.

one day, while leaving practice, he catches paige waiting by the locker room doors for you. he watches as she grabs your cheer bag in one hand, and holds your left hand. he sees how you smile at her, whispering about the shots she made at practice, and how she smiles wider when you lean into her side. then, paige opens the passenger door to her car, and you climb in. instead of closing the door right away, she leans down, and presses her lips to yours. you giggle, say something about how you’re sweaty from practice, and she responds with a quip about how she likes you that way. finally, she shuts the door, looks over her shoulder, and makes eye contact with lucas. paige’s eyebrows furrow, like she’s testing him, but he just holds his hands up in surrender. he brings it up at practice the next day:

“she’s your girlfriend,” he says in line for a drill. “i don’t know what you think you saw, scott, but it’s none of your business,” paige grumbles, catching the ball before taking her shot. she gets back in line, and lucas follows her after his turn. “i’m not gonna tell anyone if that’s what you’re worried about. it’s not my place.”  “yeah, it’s not,” she snaps.

when nathan wants to haze lucas, paige almost feels bad. almost. yes, he hasn’t told anyone about her relationship with you, but that doesn’t mean she trusts him. and when everyone turns around to leave him behind, soaked in mud, she hesitates for just a split second.

“let’s go!” nathan calls. she hesitates, watching the blonde boy standing in front of her.  “paige!” he calls again, and she finally turns around. 

a couple weeks later, nathan is hosting a party after one of their games. somehow, paige convinces him to invite lucas, claiming that it’s the right thing to do since he’s part of the team. at the same time, you’re stuck convincing paige to go, even though she would probably be in attendance anyways. 

“so…nathan is having a party tonight,” you say, walking up to paige’s locker in the middle of the school day. “yes he is,” she mumbles, closing her locker as you lean against the one next to hers.  “well, are you going? brooke and i are catching a ride with peyton,” you ask, an excited gleam in your eyes.  “babe, i’m on the team,” she starts, before leaning in to whisper in your ear, “besides, everyone will be so drunk, i���ll have you all to myself.” 

that night, you find paige in the kitchen. she’s filling up a drink, and when she spots you, she extends the solo cup in your direction. you smile, taking the drink from her outstretched hand, fingers grazing hers as you shoot her a coy smile. she rolls her eyes, a small smile playing on her lips as she fills up her drink with the keg. the two of you keep sneaking glances across the room all night, until brooke drags you into a game of ‘i never’. it’s stupid, and you know it’s just an excuse for everyone to poke fun at each other, but you still find yourself standing in a circle with paige, nathan, peyton, lucas, and tim. brooke starts, but then nathan makes a dig towards lucas, and his relationship, or lack there of, with their dad. lucas clenches his jaw, and your mouth drops open at the cruelty behind nathan’s words. you look at paige, begging her to say something. 

“that’s enough nathan,” she grumbles. nathan’s eyes widen, and he looks just the slightest bit betrayed.  “that was mean,” you whisper before walking away, paige following you to the back deck.  “you didn’t have to follow me,” you whisper, finishing the rest of your drink. “nah, nathan was pissing me off,” she says, taking a spot next to you.  you turn to face her, “you stood up for lucas. why?” she hesitates, her tongue poking the inside of her cheek, “he saw us, in the parking lot, but hasn’t said anything. he could’ve, but he didn’t, so i owe him one.”  you open your mouth to say something; defend the fact that keeping your relationship a secret is the right choice, but she stops you.  “besides, he’s actually a good player.” “i just need more time,” you say softly.  “i know,” she answers, “but that doesn’t mean i like hiding you.”

a couple weeks later, you are sitting with peyton and brooke at another party. the three of you are drinking, while peyton and brooke share stories about whatever guy they’re into. brooke, who’s hell bent on getting lucas to fall for her, is talking about another attempt to get him into her bedroom. you nod, trying to follow along, but you’re focused on paige, who’s standing with nathan at the bonfire. she’s wearing cargoes, and a hoodie with the sleeves pushed up. you watch as she laughs at something he says, shoving his shoulder while some of their teammates laugh. 

“you have something to share with the class?” brooke teases, nudging you. you clear your throat, looking away from your girlfriend, before shaking your head. “oh come on! you’ve totally been making eyes at bueckers all night. you dating her or something?” peyton jokes.  you realize that this is your chance, and you take it: “yes, we are,” you whisper.  “wait…” brooke says, her drink hanging limply in her hand, “like actually?” you nod, finishing off your drink, “like actually.”  they’re silent for a minute, but eventually brooke wraps you in a hug. you blink back the tears you didn’t even realize you were holding in, and then peyton joins in too.  “i mean she’s hot, so i get it,” brooke whispers, and you giggle.  “obviously not as hot as me, but hot nonetheless,” she finishes.  “brooke,” you whine, shoving her away in a playful manner.  “oh she’s looking over her. i think you’re being summoned,” peyton teases, pointing over at paige, who is now looking at you. 

you meet her gaze, a soft smile on your face, before excusing yourself from the group. when you walk over there, paige has a soft expression on her face, but she’s masking it by raising her eyebrows. you step into her space, and paige casually wraps her arm around your waist. 

“that’s my cue to leave,” nathan mumbles, leaving the two of you alone by the fire. “you okay?” she asks softly, her fingers running up and down your side.  “i told them. brooke and peyton,” you confess, a small smile overtaking your face.  her eyes widen, “you did?” “i did,” you confirm.  paige stares at you for a minute, disbelief but also awe on her face.  “can i kiss you?” she asks, cupping your face as her drink drops onto the sand.  “if you didn’t, i was going too,” you mumble, pulling her face to yours as your lips meet. 

despite coming out to brooke and peyton, the two of you decide that it’s best to hold off on revealing your relationship to the whole school. the people closest to you know: brooke, peyton, nathan, and your families. plus lucas, who accidentally caught you and paige flirting in the school parking lot weeks ago. surprisingly, things outside of your relationship are going well. paige, nathan, and lucas are starting to gel on the court, creating a scoring powerhouse for the ravens. you’re thriving on the cheer team, finding a new love and passion for the sport, but maybe that has to do with who you’re cheering for. then, tragedy strikes. 

“lucas got into a car accident!” paige shouts, and you can hear the sound of her car door slamming in the background of the call.  “what?” you screech, putting your book down as you scramble off the bed.  “he got into an accident while driving to pick up his mom. nathan just called to tell me. we’re going to the hospital now,” she explains, you can hear the rattling of her truck down the street. “come get me,” you say, wedging your phone between your shoulder and ear as you slip into your shoes.  “babe i don’t know…” she trails off. “paige,” you start, “he’s your friend. i know you’re upset. let me be there for you,” you finish.  paige takes a deep breath, “okay.”  

you and paige end up in lucas’s hospital room, surrounded by his mother and brooke davis. you share a glance with paige at the sight of brooke, who looks extremely disheveled while holding back tears. both of you ignore it for now, instead focusing on your friend, who is laying in a coma. paige holds you close, burying her face in your shoulder as she struggles to keep her own tears at bay. you squeeze her tightly, whispering consoling words.

a few days later, lucas is released from the hospital. paige is dragging her feet about visiting him.

“i just feel like we aren’t close,” she explains, throwing a small basketball in the air as she lays on your bed.  “paige,” you say, putting your pencil down, “he’s your teammate, and friend. it’s not weird.”  “i wouldn’t say we’re friends,” she grumbles, which she only does when she knows you’re right.

neither of you end up at lucas’s, however, as brooke appears in your doorway. her cheeks are tearstreaked with mascara. you jump up from your desk, pulling brooke into your arms. she starts crying even harder, and you rub her back in an attempt to console her. paige is sitting up on your bed now, looking like she wants to leave. just as she gets up, brooke confesses everything: how lucas broke up with her for peyton, your other best friend. your mouth drops open, and paige’s jaw clenches as she listens to brooke sob over this boy, who really doesn’t deserve an ounce of her attention. when brooke finally calms down, falling asleep on your bed, paige turns to you and whispers:

“this is why i won’t call lucas my friend.” 

paige keeps that mentality for a surprisingly long time. all the way until the away game in charlotte, which also coincides with the major cheer competition. you’re already jittery with nerves, rambling about back handsprings and perfecting your routine constantly. the entire time paige nods her head, pretending like she understands exactly what you’re saying. (spoiler alert: she doesn’t) meanwhile, the tension between nathan and lucas, boils over, especially since the former is officially dating haley. 

“paige, you know i’m right,” nathan says, dragging her into the brothers' argument.  “no. she knows you’re wrong,” lucas chimes in.  the two start to bicker again, but paige stops them: “enough! i’m sick of being in the middle. i’m friends with two idiots, and i’m not taking any sides!” paige looks like she wants to say more, but you walk into the room looking rattled.  “what happened?” paige asks, leaving the brothers behind as she walks up to you.  “theresa has the chicken pox! and now we’re totally gonna lose,” you rant. paige can see the anxiety on your face, so she pulls you into her arms. “that’s not true babe, you’ve been practicing your back tuck," she whispers.  “back handspring,” you correct absentmindedly.  “what?” she says with a small laugh.  “i’ve been practicing my back handspring, not my back tuck. those are easy,” you mumble, a shy smile on your face as paige throws you a knowing look.  “i think you’re gonna be fine,” she teases. 

while keeping your relationship on the downlow is working, everything comes out at the annual ‘boy toy’ auction. the entire basketball team, paige included, participates in an auction where the entire town has the opportunity to win a night with one of the boys. of course lucas, nathan, and jake are the most sought after, but you don’t expect people to be going after paige. until some girl raises her hand when whitey calls out paige’s name. 

“one hundred!” she shouts, holding the cash up in the air.  your jaw clenches, and you immediately out bid her: “one-twenty!” she gives you the side eye, but continues to up the price.  “brooke, give me your money,” you say between clenched teeth.  “but lucas,” she tries, but you cut her off with a stern look.  brooke hands you the cash, and you call out, “one-fifty.” the girl keeps upping the price, and paige keeps looking between the two of you like this is reality tv.  “two hundred!” you call, and everyone’s eyes widen.

whitey bangs the gavel, and it’s a done deal. you hand him the money, and then walk up to paige. she opens her mouth, like she wants to tease you, but you don’t let her get the words out. instead, you wrap your hands around her neck, and pull her into a heated kiss, right in front of the entire crowd. there’s a handful of gasps, and someone even wolf whistles. when you pull away, paige has a dazed look in her eyes, but you’re focused on the now embarrassed girl who thought it was a good idea to try and outbid you. 

after the auction, paige meets you in the gym. she gives you a shy smile, with a knowing look in her eyes. her cheeks are a little red as she notices all the eyes and whispers directed towards you. 

“are you mad?” you ask softly, biting your bottom lip.  paige shakes her head, “it was kind of hot,” she confesses. now it’s your turn for your cheeks to heat up, and you look down in embarrassment. “too much?” you whisper.  paige cups your cheeks, pulling you into a kiss in front of everyone again, “not enough,” she mumbles, as her lips brush yours.

the rest of the basketball season goes by in a blur. paige is a beast on the court, helping to lead her team to the playoffs alongside the scott brothers, who are finally on good terms. at the same time, she has you cheering for her on the sidelines. now that the cat’s out of the bag, you always wear her number, 5, on your right cheek, in the exact spot where paige kisses you right before taking the court. while paige pretends like it doesn’t affect her, hearing you cheer extra loudly when she scores a basket boosts her confidence. suddenly, it doesn’t matter that she’s the only girl playing in an all boys league, all that matters is you, standing by her side. especially when things get tough; especially when they lose the game. you hug her right after, pulling her close as her lanky arms wrap around your waist. 

“i’m sorry baby,” you whisper.  paige just nods, struggling to hold back her frustration at the night.  “at least dan doesn’t get the win,” you joke, which draws a chuckle from her.  “i just wanted to win for you,” she confesses later that night, when you’re both laying in her bed.   you turn on your side to face her, “you always make me proud, paige.” she smiles, turning to face you now. “everyone expects me to be great, but you don’t. you accept me for me, and it means the world to me,” she confesses. “paige,” you start, but she cuts you off.  “i know it’s stupid, but i wanted to win tonight for you, to say thank you, for always supporting me,” she finishes, a small blush on her freckled cheeks.  “i love you,” you whisper, kissing the tip of her nose. “but you never have to win to earn my love of validation. you already have all of it,” you explain.  

then, paige is kissing you.

first time — LUCAS SCOTT

PAIRING: Lucas Scott x fem!reader

SUMMARY: You go to a party thanks to your friends, and end up having your first time with Lucas.

WORDS COUNT: 2.0k

WARNINGS: "y/n" used once, smutt, first time, drink commented, fluff, lucas being extremely cute, reader being best friends with Brooke and Peyton.

a/n: Okay, I'll admit that this was a bit bad, but this was my first time writing smutt in English and I don't know if it was good, I hope it pleased you ♡

English is not my first language, I'm sorry if I make mistakes in my writing!!

This fic will have sensitive and sexual content. MNDI!

It had been a while since you had become friends with Brooke and Peyton, which resulted in you being one of the most famous friendship trios at Tree Hill High School. Brooke being the most outgoing, of course, Brooke always got the guys, she was friends with almost everyone. Peyton was more reserved when it came to talking to people, she's introverted, likes rock music, you're Brooke, they're always at her house, whether it's to learn more about the music she buys, to paint her nails and gossip or to listen to Peyton vent about her how Nathan is being an asshole to her. Brooke always knows the whole school's gossip, so it turns out there's always something between you. 

Almost a week ago, Lucas Scott — Nathan's half-brother from different mothers — managed to join the basketball team, literally that boy is being flirted with by girls. 

Lucas was a boy who, before the basketball team, played with some friends at River Court Park. However, in your first game he wasn't as bad as you and the two girls expected. He started out VERY bad, that was obvious but he really exceeded your expectations. 

You were definitely interested in Lucas, but as it turned out, so was Brooke so much so that she made her move to get naked in the backseat of Lucas' car, which made you slightly lose your hopes for him, if you had any. Brooke is beautiful and has a great body, what would be the chances of him choosing you? 

Well, that's how something really interesting begins.

There was a party today, you were in Peyton's room changing in her bathroom, while Brooke and Peyton were talking about something. Brooke chose from the three clothing options you showed her a tight, dark blue dress that reached the end of her thighs. It definitely valued your body and then you carefully left the bathroom and claps and screams came from your friends. 

"Definitely gorgeous" Brooke said smiling.

"If you don't give some kisses today, the boys are blind" Peyton said laughing while Brooke nodded, agreeing with her friend. 

It didn't take long for the girls to get ready, Peyton was wearing a basic black dress and Brooke was wearing a pretty pink dress.

When I arrived at the party, it was full. Some people you knew, but some you hadn't even seen in your life. It was always like that at parties, unknown people would come. The party started out pretty boring for you, Peyton was with Nathan and Brooke with any boy who showed interest and she thought it was cute. You were just drinking whatever you found in the kitchen. Until the moment you heard a voice behind you.

“Hey” Lucas said to you.

"Hi, new boy" You smiled kindly at him and he genuinely smiled at you. 

“Y/n, right?” He asked, sitting next to you on the bench outside the house.

"Yes" She replied simply while looking at him in surprise and with a slight curiosity because until then, Lucas Scott had never looked at you properly. 

You and Lucas talked for about thirty minutes, you got to know a lot about him, what his life was like in relation to Nathan's family, his hatred for Dan, he talked about how much he admired his mother and in return, you talked about your problems at home which resulted in both of them saying "I'm sorry" at the same time and then bursting out laughing.

"How did you become...you know...popular?" He asked out of nowhere, making the girl next to him frown and he noticed and clarified "You know, when we were in eighth grade, I remember you, braces, quiet and not known to almost anyone."

"Ah, get it. I mean, I don't know, the next thing I know I was talking to Peyton at the beginning of the year and then Peyton introduced me to Brooke and Brooke kind of introduced me to the whole school" You replied with a shrug, and he nodded.

"Get it" Lucas smiled, the kind of smile that would make any girl melt, including you. 

"But how about you? How are you doing? Y'know, now being the famous guy of tree hill" She asked back as she went back to drinking the drink from the glass.

"I can't say normal, but it's not going bad" He chuckled and looked at her "You look beautiful" he added, smiling smugly at her.

Quickly, she blushed nervously and laughed embarrassedly "Thank you" she smiled embarrassedly at him.

So, you started to stare at the night full of stars, as a way to escape from facing him, but he continued staring at you blatantly. It was silent for a few minutes until you decided to look at him and say something but he cuts you off with a kiss. His lips were glued to the sky, at first you didn't know how to react, but soon you began to return his kiss. You can feel Lucas's hand slowly go to your waist and caress gently making your entire body shivered with the sensation. 

Little by little, his hands went to the hem of your dark blue dress, while he started kissing your neck, you stopped saying "Lucas...we are in public" She said in a embarrassed way.

"I'm sorry" he asked, stopping quickly and then he walked away and you straightened up and sighed at what had just happened.

"It's okay, I...kind of was liking but we're in public and it doesn't feel right" she smiled at him.

"Do you want to go somewhere else that isn't so public?" he asked after a while, making your eyes widen in surprise at the courage of the question and without you wanting to, you answered him — "Yeah, totally" — Now you were in a room in the party house and locked, of course.

Lucas began to kiss you slowly, while you reciprocated, his attention went to your legs, in which his hands slowly entered your dress and he started kissing your neck and collarbone while you enjoyed and caressed his blonde hair. For a few minutes, the room was silent until he gave her butt a light squeeze and she let out a moan and he chuckled. He carefully grabbed your thighs firmly and picked you up, your legs wrapping around his waist, his hands on your thighs and your arms around his neck. Lucas walked to the bed in the room and laid you down carefully while kissing your lips quickly and full of desire.

His hands held the hem of your dress and slowly went up and soon, with his help, you were just in your lingerie set and he gave you a smile "Pretty" he whispered to you. 

Your hands went inside his shirt, caressing and lightly scratching his back while he kissed your neck and caressed your hips, playing with the hem of your panties, making you whimper slightly and he pulled away and took off his shirt, exposing his muscular chest — But nothing exaggerated — Little by little he started unbuttoning his jeans and soon changing into boxers, and then you stopped him before he got any closer.

"Lucas, I... never did that" You said and he looked at you for a few seconds and approached you, carefully placing himself between your legs and whispering in your ear — "It's okay" — You frowned and became calmer, “Really?”

"Yeah. Totally, but do you still want to do it?" he asked caressing your cheeks with his left hand.

"Yeah...I want it" She smiled while the silver chain around his neck hit her collarbone, causing you to feel butterflies in your stomach and he carefully went back to kissing her neck and gently caressing her stomach while her hands still caressed his blonde hair, while she enjoyed the feeling of his touches. Then, his hands slid to her back and carefully unhooked her bra and his hands carefully took off her bra, throwing it on some corner of the bed while his hands gently caressed her breasts.

She let out a light moan and he smiled, and carefully he sucked her nipples and on the other breast, he caressed her nipples. She writhed beneath him. After a few minutes, he stopped paying attention to her breasts and gently kissed her stomach until he reached the hem of her panties and he looked at her, as a way of asking permission and she just nodded, eagerly.

Lucas's hands carefully reached the strap of her panties, but before he took them off, he brought her face closer and placed a light kiss on the fabric, causing her to let out a moan. Then, he finally pulled down her panties and threw them anywhere, just like he did with her bra. He carefully placed kisses on her thighs, while he just heard her moans filling the room. Finally, Lucas carefully planted a few kisses on her clitoris, making her catch her breath at the new sensation.

"Lucas" she moaned his name as she began to feel his hot tongue licking her pussy, causing more and more moans, her hands held his blonde hair and sometimes gave it a few tugs, until the time Lucas felt her completely wet and carefully added a finger to her entrance, causing another moan from her.

The next time his finger entered her, he felt her entire walls tighten around his finger, while he continued to stimulate her clitoris with his tongue, sometimes giving it a few sucks. With a few more moves like that, she was almost there.

"Lucas...I-" she couldn't finish, as another moan came and she ended up pushing his face further, wanting more contact.

"I know" he replied, as he accelerated the movements with his fingers and tongue, and it didn't take long for her to cum on his finger. In which, he had no shame in putting it in his mouth just to feel your tasted.

She let out a relieved sigh and smiled at him, already slightly touched, he gave her a kiss, causing her to feel a slight taste of herself.

"I'm going to go carefully" He whispered in her ear with a smile, whilw she saw the large bulge in his boxers. He carefully kissed her lips and took off his boxers, he moved his hands to his own dick, relieving it slightly and he carefully adjusted himself on her legs, he carefully positioned the head of his dick at her entrance and faced her. and said "Ready?"

"Yes," She whispered, as she clutched at nothing, anxiously.

He carefully and slowly pushed his dick inside her, she just let out a few moans of pain as she was fully lubricated for him. He stayed inside her for a while, quietly, waiting for her to get used to his size and him being there inside her.

"Okay...you can move" She smiled decidedly, carefully, he started to move his hips slowly, while his hands were on her hips, picking up momentum. When her moans slowly turned into pleasure, he increased the speed of his movements. His hips slamming against yours, his balls hitting your ass, while the room was full of moans, sighs coming from Lucas and you, however, they could also hear the loud music from the party.

Lucas continued the movement, until the moment Abby let out something similar to a low scream but in a moan and he knew what was happening "Try to hold it" he asked, wanting them to reach climax together, so she started to squeeze his dick of him inside her, causing shivers and grunts from him.

"Continue" he groaned in a hoarse voice. You obeyed and continued squeezing him "Okay...you can let go" he whispered in your ear and then, you both came at the same time.

Lucas, when he felt the sensation of pleasure invade his body, he laid his face in the crook of your neck and stayed there for a few minutes, until he carefully took his dick out of you and lay down on the bed next to you, pulling you into his arms.

"You did well...for a first time" he whispered and you let out a laugh. After a few minutes of rest, the two of you had to get dressed again and go back to the party, however, the end of the night ended with Lucas at your house.

wishlist — 5. Luca (the bear) [Winter prompts]

A/N: My work for this past season kinda flopped but i haven’t written a winter themed one for Luca so here goes nothing!

WARNINGS: loosely connected to my fic here (since I didn’t want to write in 2nd POV) but not heavily done so can still work as a standalone piece. + some intimate scenes.

PROMPT IS FROM HERE & I’m using: ACTIVITIES — Shoveling snow + DIALOGUE PROMPTS — "Turn on the heat." // "Oh, I will." // "No, I literally mean the heat! It's like ten degrees in here!" + "Who needs a sleigh when I can just ride you?"

ᨒ ོ ☼ ᨒ ོ ☼ ᨒ ོ ☼ ᨒ ོ ☼ ᨒ ོ ☼ ᨒ ོ ☼ ᨒ ོ ☼ ᨒ ོ

Luca was used to rainfall and maybe twenty-four hours of snow, whereas Peyton was used to these kind of brutal winters. Being back in Chicago for months at a time has a much different impact on Peyton than it did Luca. Yet the two felt like they didn’t need to be apart any longer so they came to some sort of agreement.

Luca was in Chicago to see what it had to offer and decided maybe half of the year could be divided between there, Copenhagen, and London mostly would be for holidays. Copenhagen has always been Luca’s comfort zone, his true home, yet he had that itch to explore and he’s already had connects in Chicago…along with the funeral for Ever; it just made sense to circle back…for him.

He wouldn’t push Peyton if the city got too much for her, which means there were times when they were apart. Due to their work it consisted of travel, more so on Peyton’s part but she’s always loved to see different sides of the world. She was not the kind of woman that preferred one place over the other because then that would result in a feeling of being trapped. That’s unfortunately what Chicago gave her. Luca hated being away from his fiancée but he understood why so when Peyton was here, he always made the most of it. Which oddly entailed, him telling her that he would handle the snow outside by himself while she finished up editing photos that she shot and could attach to a well known blog in Chicago, Palette Feast, that she wrote a piece for.

They always knew how to keep busy and it’s almost as if they didn’t spend a good portion of their day at the soup kitchen together, yet here they were in their own spaces…still working.

She raises her arms above her head, sitting at the leather stool at the counter, stretching in her open cardigan after sending over her work to the websites publisher. Slamming her laptop shut, she scoots from the counter, taking her laptop with her as she moves around towards the living room and placed it onto the computer desk before peeking out the double doors across from the couch.

Knowing that view wouldn’t grant her with the sight of Luca, she braces herself before unlocking one of the doors to step out onto the balcony. She steadies herself against the light slush, hugging her cardigan against her as the winter air whipped against her skin. The woman doesn’t bother placing her hands on the snow covered railing—especially without gloves—and glanced over in search of Luca.

It never takes her long to find him.

He’s leaning against the handle of the big shovel, a hand pressed against his hip, almost as if he’s surveying his work. It makes the woman laugh a little before she calls out, “Hey Romeo, hurry up will you? I’ve got a surprise for you.”

His beanie covered head lifts up at the voice and he puffs out a breath that swirls into the air, “A reward, yeah? I’ll take it.” He grins.

Peyton winks at him before going back into the home. She knows she would have been scolded if she was caught outside in just this attire by a certain parent but pushes that bad thought away. Once locking up, she tip toes through the condo, heading to the primary bedroom at the back of the home, stripping out of her faux leather pants and bodysuit, trading it for a ice blue lingerie attire that looked so vibrant against her skin.

She places the cardigan back over for extra warmth as she hears the front door creep open. Peyton takes her time walking back to the front of the home, meeting Luca while he tosses his puffer coat onto the coat rack.

He doesn’t even get the chance to blow into his hands as he slowly turns to be engulfed by voluminous brown hair and arms locking around his neck. He hides a groan as he leans down a little, hands going to the back of her cardigan. “Oh, hello. Is this my surprise?”

“Part of it.” She turns her head slightly, pressing her full lips to his cheek, then traveling her kisses to his ear.

Peyton can feel Luca shudder and it’s not only from his body starting to heat up as he asks, “…What did you have in mind then?”

She steps back to do a little twirl and poses in the lingerie piece she quickly threw on. Luca’s eyes take no shame in drinking his fiancée in, his hues appearing darker as they meet her own eyes, “All this for shoveling snow?”

Peyton interlocks her hands together, sides of her arms pushing her cleavage together unintentionally, “Maybe…or maybe we need to get everything out of our systems before your mom stays with us for Christmas this year.”

It was only three days away and she was flying in tomorrow morning.

Luca hums as he takes a step towards Peyton, who playfully steps back, “Is that so?”

“Or…we get can get those THC cookies going if you prefer a snack first?”

“With you dressed like this,” Luca points with a natural curve of his arched brows, “Not a chance.”

Peyton lets out a squeal as Luca spins her back and away from the U-shaped kitchen tucked in the corner, his forehead pressing down against her’s as they breathed each other in. His cold hands make Peyton let out a sharpened breath but she still leans into his frame, as he hands run down the skin of her sides.

“Sorry love,” he apologizes, “I think you’ll have to turn on the heat.”

Her tongue reaches out to run against his bottom lip, his new facial hair that Luca decided to sport this season met great approval from Peyton, even tickled against her tongue, making Luca tighten his hold on her.

His eyes closed shut, trying to control himself at her teasing, her nails gently scratching at his upper back, “Oh I will.”

“No, I literally mean the heat! It's like ten degrees in here!" Luca hated to break up the moment a little but he had to say something as he shivered.

Peyton met his eyes, knowing that he wasn’t joking. She steps back but not without gently pulling him back to their bedroom, “Not the Brit being unable to handle Chicago’s weather.”

“Oh shut it,” Luca comments, yanking her back to his front to press his cheek against her’s, “It’s massively different and you know it.”

“Course…it’s not like I was raised here or anything.” Peyton wisecracked as they continued into their bedroom.

Luca let’s go of Peyton as she makes her way over to the fireplace. She squats down, making Luca thankful that he did snag this place, a fireplace in the bedroom for the harsh winter nights was a blessing in disguise. Peyton moves to grab Luca’s hands and place them right on her slightly bare backside, “That should help some, no?”

A smirk splits over his lips while he tightens his grip, “A bit, yeah.”

Peyton gets closer, their lips only just a space from touching, her hand travels down his torso towards his waistband, “Would you like some more assistance then, Chef?”

Once she had him in her hold, he nearly sunk into her, “Absolutely,” he manages to get out before taking the initiative to place his lips down on her’s.

They’re both squeezing each other, invoking moans that filled the quiet home. Just by kissing and touching was enough to get the other riled up. Peyton made it known that she was in charge this approaching evening as she’s on top. Luca’s back and chest were two of her favorite physical attributes but deciding to be generous, she allowed him to keep his crew neck on but she couldn’t speak for his lower half.

“Who needs a sleigh when I can just ride you?” Peyton whispered as she swirled her hips in the perfect figure eight, making Luca hiss.

Starting off slow was sort of their thing but at unexpected moments Peyton would speed it up, always catching Luca off guard. He made the mistake of bringing up some activities he and his fiancée both could get up to once free time was granted, being a blabbing mess and overstimulated as soon as she let go to sink down repeatedly.

It hurt so good.

Only because Luca was hiding something.

When she really started to ride, his fingertips dug into her flesh, trying to hold onto her hips, to slow down the process but as soon as she slapped his hands away, leaving Luca redder in the face, she raised his arms above his head, leaning forward, ready to press a nasty kiss to his mouth, but the whimper escaping his mouth, and the way he didn’t attempt to Buck up into her made a red flag go off.

She sits back, a frown appearing in between her brows.

“W-why did you stop?” Luca rasps.

Peyton breathes, “…something’s wrong.”

Luca immediately shakes his head, “No? No. Keep going.”

It’s Peyton’s turn to quirk up a brow, “Get up here and kiss me then.”

“Babe.”

“I’m not moving until you do.”

Peyton watched as Luca rests both of his hands against his face, sighing. Carefully he fists the comforter of the bed, immediately wincing as he tried to push himself up. One thing about Luca is, he took care of his body and sit ups never resulted in this much pain.

“You son of a bitch, you’re hurt!” Peyton’s mouth is agape, “Why didn’t you say anything? Did I—

Luca shakes his head, “It wasn’t you. Fucking hell it truly wasn’t…it was the snow! And how could I resist when you look like this?”

He runs his hands up Peyton’s thighs but she smacks them away, making him suck air between his teeth. “This is not okay and now I’m pissed.”

“Babe, it’s quite alright.”

Peyton mocks him, “But it’s not quite alright. You probably pulled a muscle and I’m making it worse. Which is exactly why I told you to leave it to the HOA.”

“They’re taking too long.” Luca huffed, “People are on a schedule here.”

Peyton rolled her eyes.

Of course Luca Hodgson always being the one to take matters into his owns hands, would want to shovel the snow and probably did the elderly neighbor’s portion as well.

Now look at him!

He was all busted up yet still looked so handsome even when he was trying to play his pain off! His hair was already fattened by his beanie, hair was coated with sweat now as it lay against his forehead, flushed skin, and watery deep blue eyes.

“These sidewalks are not a one person job. You should have waited and let me help you.”

“You can still help me,” Luca tries to persuade, “…in other ways.”

Peyton scoffs, “Oh you want me to stop riding you to either blow or give you a handy instead, as if you lying to me is okay? That I’ll let it slide? You’re unbelievable.”

“I didn’t lie…I just didn’t bring it up?” He weakly attempts to send the woman a smile but she glared at him.

“We’re not twenty-one anymore, don’t know if you noticed.”

“What are you on about?” Luca scoffs, “There’s no way you’re calling me a old geezer?”

Peyton raised her hands, “I’m not calling you a thing, baby.”

Luca tenses as Peyton eased herself off her fiancé, their body’s both tensing and still clenching at the loss of contact. He’s making grabby hands at her as she sticks her nose up in the air.

“Looks like you’ll be needing those cookies much sooner than I thought.” Peyton sasses as she starts to make her way over to the attached bathroom.

Luca grumbled, “I was perfectly fine with the ones right on top of me.”

“What was that?”

“Nothing!” Luca calls back, struggling to roll onto his side as he watches Peyton’s hair disappear behind the wall.

Peyton returns with some cream, stare was heated enough as she peered down at him, knees brushing against the side of the bed, “Looks like this is starting to become part of our routine huh?”

“Of you telling me, ‘I told you so,’?” Luca guessed as Peyton carefully gets onto the bed and steps over him.

She yanks up his sweater, seeing the beads of sweat on his spine as well. It was safe to say that he was warmed up now, “No. Taking care of each other.”

“Oh, right. Of course.” Luca sighed, leaning on his elbow.

Peyton makes a guess of her own, “Lower back.”

“Mhm.”

Her fingers go into the jar, the menthol and ginger scent was strong but it would do the trick. It was actually an old remedy from Peyton’s paternal grandmother who still made these jars full of peppermint, spearmint, and ginger. The woman has bad arthritis and decided making her own medicine was better than being forced to take pills. She was never a fan of doctors and when she found out about Peyton’s stormy battle with mental health, the spunky woman was ready to raise hell.

She was never a fan of Peyton’s mother.

“Here I was being a ho ho ho and my man needed medical attention.” Peyton says making Luca snort.

Once enough coated his back, Luca took his time turning to face Peyton who sat on her knees, his hand gently rubbing at the top of her knee, “It’s not your fault babe…and you didn’t see me exactly backing down. I completely consented to you having power over me.”

“You dog!”

“Correction: your favorite.”

Peyton adds, “You’d definitely be a wolfhound.”

Luca frowns, “Not a reindeer?”

“I don’t believe that’s in the same category—

Luca already has his hand on the back of Peyton’s neck, pulling her face to his lips, “Uh huh.”

He’s kissing her in a way that makes her toes curl underneath her ass. She manages to pull away and says in a warning tone, “Luca Hodgson…”

“Think you can spell it on my tongue?”

Peyton gasps, “I think we found the new ho.”

“Only Mrs. Claus’.”

“You’re on a roll!”

“…well we didn’t get to finish.”

“With good reason.”

Luca sighs with a caress of his facial hair, “You on my face has nothing to do with my back.”

Peyton thinks about it but again it’s taking much too long for Luca’s liking. He turns onto his back carefully, his hand moving to hold onto Peyton’s wrist, slightly tugging her. They haven’t tried this with his new facial hair and it’s not a position they did often but this season was supposed to be full of love anyway.

And as Peyton got comfy in her new seat, she had no problem professing her love as she rode out her high all while guiding Luca’s rolling pin in all directions equivalent to a compass.

She’s laying beside him, they’re both fighting to catch their breaths. Luca’s got a shit eating grin on his face as he lolls his head to meet Peyton’s who’s staring up at the ceiling in bliss.

“Is it fair for me to say I told you so.” Luca quizzes, shuffling to place a kiss on her bare shoulder, thanks to the cardigan slipping from its space.

Peyton scoffs, “Whatever, I make you see stars and now you suddenly think you’re Superman.”

Luca rests his head against his wife to be’s shoulder, “actually it’s because I’ve got the number one thing on my wishlist.”

“Hold on, Christmas isn’t here yet, bud.”

“Might as well be.” Luca whispers, “I’m just glad that I’ve still got you.”

“Awww you sap!” Peyton cooes, moving her own head to press a kiss against his brow. Luca lifts his chin so their lips could reconnect, his tastes even better for obvious reasons.

“I mean it.” Luca’s stare turns intense and he doesn’t have to say more, although Peyton knows he could, but the man lets his eyes do the talking this time.

Peyton nods after a while of staring longingly into each other’s eyes. She intertwines her hand with his right, as he brings their hands to press a kiss to. “I love you, Luca Hodgson.”

“And I love you immensely, Peyton Hodgson.”

The way in Luca’s mind Peyton was already his wife, which is why he referred to her as such, always made her heart swell with a warmth of its own. She pressed her temple against Luca’s ready to catch an evening nap as the fireplace crackles on, providing further warmth and safety in the home.

As they lay side by side, the couple continued receiving checks off their wishlists, as long as they continued to be in each other’s space.

could you do head cannons for nathan?

nathan scott | head cannons

first of all, thank you for this request! <3 this didn’t have specifics for what type(s) of head cannons, so i did very basic/generic head cannons. hopefully this is what you were talking about, if not let me know! i’ll do more!

mentions of abuse & depression !

s1 nathan

while dating peyton, nathan would always groan and complain about her music taste, but secretly he would go home and download songs onto his mp3 player from different bands like: linkin park, sum 41, & yellowcard.

after getting into fights with dan, he would sit in his room at night and secretly wish he could’ve had whitey for a dad instead of dan.

speaking of dan, it seems like dan was not only controlling and dismissive of nathan, but abusive as well. (like we all remember in s1 ep 6 where nathan tells lucas dan grabbed him by the arm and kicked him in the ass. & then the locker scene in s3.)

he secretly wishes he had a sister or another sibling (besides lucas) so he has someone else to come home to, aside from dan.

when he’s with peyton, they go to brooke’s and she always has some sorta chick flick on like how to lose a guy in 10 days, he swears he hates every minute of it while his arms are crossed, but yet he can’t look away from the screen.

he doesn’t think he’s good enough, in any aspect of life (because of dan & his belittling). so he’s arrogant and cocky to try and mask how he really feels on the inside.

he calls deb almost every night asking when she’s coming home, because he misses her and has had enough of being home alone with dan.

post s1 nathan

he really tries to focus more on school and doing better in his studies.

no matter how hard he tries to study though, he always gets distracted and stuck.

this man definitely has adhd.

i could see nathan sneaking into whitey’s office when he isn’t there and sitting behind his desk mimicking him.

after practice or games he will eat so much food til he feels physically ill. like to the point where either jake or lucas has to tell him to slow down.

he totally sings in the shower (don’t deny this. we’ve seen him when he’s doing karaoke.)

makes jokes about his trauma

he will stand in the mirror and take shirtless pictures with his digital camera

he’s been in therapy before, by force. however i’m thinking (s4) nathan willingly starts going to therapy to get his mental health in check and to start understanding where his emotions stem from.

if there are little kids when he goes to practice at the river court, he always gives them advice and pointers on how to improve—in a caring way. he’ll even lift up some of the kids who are too short to reach the hoop.

[amortaentias]

It’s been 20 years and to me it still doesn’t make any sense that Leyton was endgame. Brooke and Lucas had such a strong and slow build up in season 2, they got to really know each other and fall truly in love with each other in a mature and honest way compared to Leyton teenage infatuation in season 1. Also, once Lucas realises that he is in love with Brooke he NEVER falters, never even seems to be uncertain and never doubts his decision to be with her. We still perceive Peyton has a threat to the couple in season 3 but only cause of Brooke insecurity or Peyton fickleness, NEVER from Lucas’s perspective, even though he is supposed to be the switching element of the triangle. He is the one constantly repeating and reaffirming that he is in love with Brooke and she is the one for him, even after the break up. So for him to tell Peyton “it’s always been you” feels so inconsistent and it’s ridiculous at least.

[maybejj]

You had to know I was coming for my babies! Fractured Ties step to the front PLEASE😭

This may be a little one tree hill heavy, but I’m just a girl 😭😂

I know the boys are separate because of their father-fueled situations, but I was wondering if you think their fathers and their parenting styles/choices for the boys mirror Dan or Keith in their different approaches? Like I can only assume that Ward is more of a Dan, but is Luke in this story bearing more of a Keith resemblance or do you see parallels between him and another character?? I could see season 2/3 Deb vibes, but maybe thats just me???

You know I LOVE Rafe and Readers relationship in this story (very Lucas and Haley coded), so I wonder if you were going for their vibe of the best friends/sibling type relationship or if you weren’t always planning for them to be like that?

(Also just a little tidbit because I can’t help it: Reader and Rafe are actually starting to remind me of Brooke/Haleys relationship as the series goes on. Like those two RODE for each other, even when they know that the other was in the wrong, and I think it makes me love them even more😭 Like when Haley left, Brooke was the ONLY person who was on her side when she came back, but she still held her accountable. I see that in Rafe and Reader where he tries to be there for her, and I think that is what is going to make him finding out she is talking to JJ hurt worse. Like yes he is the Lucas type in this story, so it will be because it’s his brother, but also THATS his best friend??? He doesn’t seem to keep things from her, so I know it’s going to HURT)

I know how it all started out, but do you think that JJ would have ever pursued her outside of being Rafes best friend if he and Rafe had never lost their relationship? Or do you think their lives would have been completely different?

This is so long omg I live and breathe this story forgive me 😭😂

so sorry for the wait! back to answering questions 😍

1. as far as luke and ward go, i kinda kept their same characters as in the show. luke is still a piece of shit and so is ward. so i feel like they both mirror dan if i had to pick someone. like luke still beat the crap out of jj growing up, ward still manipulates rafe whenever he gets the chance. the only difference in this story is that jj lives with the pogues and completely cut all ties with luke. they’re in their 20’s in this story so he’s an adult and i think jj mentioned his friends help him see how shitty his dad was and that’s how he had the strength to get away from luke. rafe is still in contact with his dad but jj has nothing to do with luke but they both mirror dan personality wise. unfortunately neither of the boys were lucky enough to have a keith in their life ☹️ once their mom passed away, they lost the one good person they had 😭

2. rafe and readers relationship is so important to me omg he’s like the big brother she never had and someone that protects her from her mom and basically just helps guide her through life. i always wanted them to have a best friend/sibling relationship bc we all know readers mom is the biggest bitch of them all 😬 so our poor girl needed some kind of support system. plus i just loved the idea of rafe, reader, and sarah all being best friends and then when sarah went to be with the pogues, rafe & reader were left behind to deal with the aftermath and they had to be there for each other. i think i’ve shown a little bit of how hurt reader was when sarah left but we will see more. sometimes i think reader has the same thoughts/mentality as peyton bc she feels like everyone leaves her or she’s not good enough- her mom, sarah leaving, and other stuff i can’t say just yet lol

3. rafe finding out about jj and reader is going to hurt so bad. like i don’t think you’re ready for that 😭 we’ve still got a ways to go bc ive got to build some other stuff up but when rafe finds out? ohhhhhh man. my heart already hurts.

4. oh i loved this question! as much as i would like to say he would, i don’t think so. their mother was very down to earth, kind, and loved everyone so she taught her boys that as well. had she lived longer the boys would’ve been a lot different than they are now. but their mom probably would have stayed away from the kook lifestyle (there’s some stuff we still don’t know about their mom and how life was before she died so i can’t give away too much but she wanted a simple life, not the rich life ward so desperately wanted to build) and had both of the boys in just normal public school, no kook academy or private schools so rafe would’ve been very different and wouldnt have been around the kooks as much. and readers mom has always had money. it runs in their family and then she built her own business and she despises the pogues so they wouldn’t have ran into each other. however, in my story sarah and rafe have a different mom. i imagine ward just had a fling in between charlotte and rose and that’s how sarah came along so sarah for sure would’ve been in all the kook schools and sarah and reader probably still would have been friends so there’s a tiny possibility that jj would have seen reader around. so it’s kind of a complicated answer 😂 i’m so sorry this is so long lol but i hope i answered these questions well enough 🫶🏻

[paceypeternathanslawyer]

I may have already made a post about this but I don't think I have so I thought I'd take the chance. I have these rants or thoughts in my head and sometimes I just have to get them down in writing or I'll be playing it in my head all day lol

I feel like the One Tree Hill writers room went to work and the first thing they said was "This show is not going to be Dawson's Creek and we are going to make that clear at every turn."

The first thing I think about is the Lucas and Haley friendship. They even went out of there way to separate Lucas/Haley from Dawson/Joey by making Haley make disparaging jokes about Dawson and Joey in the Pilot. I really respect the decision to make Lucas and Haley only friends and they never wavered from that. There was never even a second when they hinted that their relationship could be more than friends.

In some ways Nathan and Haley are equivalent from Pacey and Joey in One Tree Hill and they made the decision of getting Nathan and Haley together and then never really breaking them up. Unlike the Pacey and Joey model where there was the stupid love triangle with Dawson and they broke them up and got them together and broke them up again. Pacey and Joey really deserved better writers. Pacey and Joey have some of the best chemistry in TV and the writers did not know how to utilize that treasure.

The female friendships are absolutely atrocious in Dawson's Creek. I mean is there really a female friendship? I mean I guess Jen and Joey but even that was littered with tension most of the time and even after they buried the hatchet Joey would put men above Jen all the time. Like when she started dating the guy who cheated on Jen and then when Jen tried to help her she was really mean to Jen. I blame the writers for that. That is atrocious! Write better female friendships you cowards. In One Tree Hill, the friendships certainly have their ups and downs but you have Haley and Brooke, Brooke and Peyton, Haley and Peyton, Deb and Karen. Every woman on the show has at least one really great female friendship.

The fact that OTH never killed off any of the original teenage characters as in Nathan, Haley, Brooke, Lucas, Peyton, Skills, Mouth. Dawson's Creek just had to be assholes and kill off Jen in the last episode. But I really think giving all of them happy endings was really a concerted effort to be different from Dawson's Creek. And the reason I believe that is that they even brought on James Van Der Beek in a small role where he played a director... kind of a wink to his character in DC and he's talking to Lucas about his book that's going to be turned into a movie. It's something that's so similar to DC. Both Dawson and Lucas wrote books, movies, or TV shows about their lives. James' character has this to say "All right, clear your head, all right? What if Haley... Dies? I'm saying think about it. People love that stuff." You can tell that sometimes the writers are poking fun at some of the Dawson's Creek writing choices and I fully support it lol

The writers on One Tree Hill weren't always great and there was certainly one completely rotten apple in that bunch... cough M*** S****** cough but it really seemed like they went into writing the show with the intentions that it was gonna be better than Dawson's Creek in every way. Now if only there could have been a Dawson's Creek/One Tree Hill crossover and we could have seen Pacey and Joey show up in OTH then it would have been perfect lol

hiiiii ashton <333 I know we've talked about it before but I recently was on a video and saw some comments that angered me and you know I ship leyton and brulian too but I just wanna hear your thoughts because you always give the best ones!! why do you personally prefer brucas over leyton? why don't you ship leyton? and what do you think about the comments from people saying how leyton were always supposed to be endgame even though s2&3 it certainly didn't feel that way!! and about the comments saying that chopia breaking up had nothing to do with it even though they broke up before brucas actually got back together and they could've very easily not put them together after chopia broke up if they wanted to lol I'm just very curious about your thoughts and don't really wanna discuss it in messenger tbh this is easier so I get all your opinions lol I love you so much and you always give the best responses and answers when I ask you things!! 💞💞💞

I literally don't, but thank you for saying that 💙💙 First things first, I did ship Lucas and Peyton in the past. So on some level, I understand the appeal because I also fell for them when I started watching One Tree Hill. Truth be told, one day I just snapped out of it. Before season 6 even premiered, I was watching my season 5 DVD and finding myself frustrated with the LP story line while appreciating the dynamic between Brucas. Anyways, since then I've watched every episode multiple times and analyzed both by myself and sometimes with others why exactly I don't root for Leyton and prefer Brucas. To me, they're representative of a lot of tropes that will never be my favorite. Meant to be from the pilot couples are always going to be a hard sell. The chemistry had better be something special and the ongoing story needs to be more than, "I immediately know you better than everyone else in your life after having a handful of conversations." There are always exceptions to this rule. Sometimes I fall for the ship fast (Stelena, sorry). Other times it takes until nearly the entire first season or until the second (Ephram/Amy from Everwood, Max/Liz from OG Roswell, Spelivia) for me to get past the beginning and appreciate what the couple is at the heart of it. Needless to say, this sums up Leyton (derogatory). So much of their connection is told to the audience rather than shown. From day one, it's automatically clear that this is the couple to root for. Their only real obstacle, Nathan, is a comically terrible, borderline abusive boyfriend, so the fact Lucas in early season 1 is the anti Nathan pushes him incredibly hard as Peyton's ideal match. Once Brucas starts up, there's an immediate difference in energy and chemistry. Both Lucas and Peyton take themselves so seriously. It's always deep feelings and angst and brooding and "oh, we want to be together, but the circumstances are just too hard." And meanwhile, it's only like episode 9. Brooke has deep feelings and her own insecurities, but on the outside she doesn't take life super seriously and is someone who acts rather than internalizing everything. Brooke's influence on Lucas's life feels like a breath of fresh air. Lucas begins to loosen up and see that there can be more to life than his preconceived ideas of how the world works and how everyone should be acting. On Lucas's end, he encourages Brooke to develop her intellectual side and see that she has so much more to offer than being the life of the party and someone who gets validation from sleeping with a lot of guys. Lucas is the first person Brooke wants to get serious with. Even better, this is a story line we actually get to see play out. When Lucas and Brooke talk about what they like about each other, it all tracks because we've been watching their attraction bloom and seeing how in a lot of ways, they're at their best together. Sorry, this is getting long. This is all solely based on season 1. By the end of the season, Lucas and Peyton cheat for the first time. This sadly becomes a pattern for them. Brooke is emotionally devastated. And though Lucas immediately seems to feel guilt over hurting Brooke, it takes him time to see how far he's strayed from the type of person he wants to be.

Season 2 is a massive gamechanger for Brucas. This is the first time they're truly able to be friends. Without the expectation of a relationship, Brooke and Lucas are able to connect on a deeper level. Yet again, this is something shown to us rather than told. This is the kind of relationship both took the time to develop. Much like in season 1, Lucas encourages Brooke to invest in her more intellectual, soulful side. Lucas himself works on being more selfless, taking the time to improve as a person. Unlike when Lucas pined for Peyton while she was dating Nathan and embarked on an affair during his first relationship with Brooke, this time Lucas allows Brooke's relationship with Felix to play out without any interference while still being a friend. Lucas is aware of his own feelings, but he also knows how badly he hurt Brooke in the past and has no reason to think a second chance is even a possibility. When Lucas kisses Brooke after months of close friendship and opening up to each other emotionally (albeit with Brooke understandably on guard post cheating and Lucas hiding his rediscovered feelings), it feels earned. The third season is a mixed bag. At its best, season 3 Brucas is a perfect mix of seasons 1 and 2 Brucas. Both seem to be equally emotionally invested in the relationship working out and view each other as basically their endgame. But the fun and the lightheartedness exist, as well. Brooke is still someone who brings light and fun to Lucas's life. On Lucas's end, it starts to get murky as the show gets closer and closer to the shooting episode. After spending so much time veering away from the possibility of Lucas and Peyton together with emphasis on Lucas's love for Brooke, the strength of the Brooke/Peyton friendship and even how Lucas and Peyton are actually able to be platonic, healthy friends themselves, everything gets destroyed so that the show can return to Leyton. On the one hand, it's not as though it's totally out of nowhere or implausible because again, the narrative went so hard in Leyton's favor during the first season. But at the same time, it doesn't feel believable to me when it finally happens. Lucas seems to flip flop from getting past his breakup with Brooke to declaring Peyton is the one he wants next to him when his dreams come true in mere seconds. The writers LOVE to make Lucas in denial about his feelings for Peyton. Past the first season, we don't get Lucas pining for Peyton. We just don't. We got Lucas pining for Brooke during season 2 and part of 3 and even Lucas wanting Lindsey back after she leaves him at the altar, but for the lion's share of LP's history, it's Peyton desperately wanting Lucas and somewhat being willing to sacrifice everything just for the chance of being with him. So because of this, Lucas becomes an almost passive love interest where he's told over and over again what he should want and what his true feelings are until he just kind of.. says fine, choosing Peyton. That alone is why I prefer Brucas. It's the more compelling story line and relationship. Plus, the chemistry.

And I hate to do it, but this vs this:

Chemistry is unpredictable, always up for debate, and shouldn't always be the deciding factor in what a person ships. My shipping preferences have been all over the place in this area. But when the writing is lacking and the chemistry isn't really selling the story either, these moments that are supposed to be powerful and come across as passionate somehow come across as phony and put on. In my opinion, Chad and Hilarie had buddy chemistry while Chad and Sophia had the passionate, in love type of chemistry due in large part to literally being in love and married in real life.

As a viewer, I really resent being told that Lucas was simply denying his true feelings for no other reason I can think of except maliciousness when he spent basically two and a half seasons wanting Brooke over Peyton. The romantic relationship with Lucas and Peyton during seasons 4 and 6 seems like the healthier option on the surface, but it comes back to how I feel about Lucas as a passive love interest and Peyton's arc being so wrapped up in whether or not she gets the guy. This is pretty much spelled out towards the end of season 3. During a conversation between Brooke and Peyton, Brooke confides in Peyton that during Lucas's absence she realized that she wasn't as reliant on his physical presence as she thought she'd be. From Brooke's perspective, all this means is that Brooke is somehow capable of loving and being happy independently of the man she loves. But on One Tree Hill, this is supposed to imply Brooke either doesn't truly love Lucas, is falling out of love with Lucas, or that Peyton loves Lucas more because she doesn't desire independence outside of him. It's a gross message to say the least. This brings me full circle, back to season 5. Between seasons, Lucas proposed to Peyton and broke off the relationship when she didn't accept his proposal. Objectively speaking, not the worst thing in the world and a valid thing to do if this is a deal breaker. But this causes the Lucas/Peyton relationship to be heavily imbalanced and in Lucas's favor over Peyton's. Lucas stops feeling like the kind of person who follows his heart and more this desperate guy who wants to marry someone to the point the bride doesn't actually matter. If I go along with the idea that Lucas was in love with Peyton throughout the intervening years, throughout season 5 and for the entirety of his romance with Lindsey, what does that say about Lucas? One, he's the kind of guy who is so out of touch with his own emotions that nothing he says should ever be trusted. Or two, he's an asshole and will willingly commit himself to another woman under false pretenses just because he didn't get what he wanted from his first choice on his terms. Peyton's love for Lucas is meant to be undying and unconditional, causing her to behave in such selfish, desperate ways. Lucas, on the other hand, proves that his affection for Peyton is very conditional. He's not willing to compromise. He doesn't want to wait around for Peyton to catch up with where he is.

And in the mean time, Lucas bouncing between Peyton and Lindsey actually means season 5 Brucas is a very good alternative for Lucas. It's all very unspoken, but the chemistry and the connection between Lucas and Brooke never goes away. Much like in season 2, the possibility of romance is very much off the table. Brooke returns to Tree Hill not to win Lucas back, but because she misses her hometown and sees herself settling down there. Because nothing is being pushed on either end, it's much easier for adult Lucas and adult Brooke to be friends in a way that's impossible for Lucas and Peyton. They're able to relate to each other outside of high school and their past romance. A flashback reveals that Lucas was the first person Brooke told that she wanted to have a baby. During the time Brooke is taking care of Angie, Lucas becomes the kind of person Brooke can depend on and lean on for emotional support. Even outside of season 5, there's a consistent theme of Lucas being the best, most selfless version of himself with Brooke. It's as though Brooke's influence in Lucas's life mixed with their season 1 history almost demands that Lucas be better when they're together. Both Brooke and Lucas are in the place where they're looking to settle down. In a moment that's kind of a contrast to season 3

Unlike in season 3 when Lucas was trying to fight for Brooke but kind of clueless when it came to working out what she wanted from him, this time Lucas realizes that no matter how strong Brooke seems to be, she needs him to show up for her. There will always be endless potential for season 5+ Brucas, in my opinion. Their strong bond and complementary desires for a future shine through even as the narrative reminds us over and over again that Peyton is the one who loves Lucas most and that anything that isn't about Peyton is merely "denial" or Lucas "hiding his heart." Anyways, Lucas literally fantasizes about marrying all of his major love interests, Brooke included. The dream sequence wants us to believe Brooke and Lucas want very different things, making them fundamentally incompatible. The entirety of seasons 5-9 disagrees with this, but Lucas still ends up with Peyton.

When it comes down to it, I don't like the people Lucas and Peyton are around each other. As friends, it's mostly okay. They certainly share common interests and Peyton lacks the trust issues Lucas's other girlfriends have considering she's always the other woman. But.. so much of their love story comes across as incredibly forced with so many holes in it. Their arc throughout the first six seasons does NOT hold water. Peyton isn't allowed to be a fully fleshed out person with goals that don't perfectly align with becoming Mrs. Lucas Scott. Lucas holds all the cards, resulting in him becoming far more selfish and almost childish in the way he acts like season 1 Lucas who is still butthurt his crush didn't want to commit to him after one make out session. Even in the final season, I don't see much if any growth. It's the final season for both characters and the show played out the beats of broken up Leyton, so they're put back together. So much of what happens between Lucas and Peyton is heavily reliant on the idea of everything coming full circle without any regard for how one or both have changed since then. Brucas doesn't have this problem. If nothing else, Brooke and Lucas's relationship goes through multiple changes, with each phase feeling much more mature and deeper than the one before. Even though their past and Brooke's trust issues are recurring problems, their actual dynamic always remains in the present.

As for your last question, I'll never know for sure what discussions were like behind the scenes circa seasons 2 and 3. But based on how season 2 played out, I think there's a very good chance the endgame shifted. The underlying tension and romantic affection between Lucas and Peyton was completely gone. Lucas realized he wanted to be with Brooke and never seemed to consider Peyton. Even Peyton, who has ambiguous moments that refer to possible feelings for Lucas even before the shooting, doesn't have this during the second season. She spends far more time pining for and loving Jake. When Peyton expresses displeasure over her relationship with Lucas, it's that he hasn't been the kind of friend that shows up for her emotionally. Lucas's response to this is to bring Jake back to town LOL. In terms of season 3, it gets confusing. Chad and Sophia didn't separate until multiple episodes into the first half of season 3. Meaning, the groundwork was already being laid for Brucas's failed friends with benefits/casual relationship to become a deeper romantic one even before Chad and Sophia split up. But at the same time, Lucas's friendship with Peyton was also being prioritized again with more references to their romantic past coming up outside of Brooke's insecurities. So with that in mind, it seems like LP was a possibility even as Brucas was rebuilding their relationship. However, I think the Chad/Sophia split permanently closed the door on any legitimate Brucas once their season 3 arc was completed. Personally, I don't think Peyton ending up with Lucas was set in stone until the end of season 3. Had Chad and Sophia never split up, I definitely think we would have seen another round of Brucas at some point because the chemistry alone would have demanded it. Plus, the gross producers capitalizing on the real life Chad/Sophia romance. In a universe where Chad and Sophia never broke up, my gut says Lucas ends up with Brooke. But nothing is 100%. To sum up my thoughts, I think there was a plan in place during season 1. I think another plan emerged during season 2. In season 3, the endgame was literally up for grabs. But Chad and Sophia's breakup sealed the deal.

I love you, too! I'm so sorry for making you read all this.

Globbing on to your Damon analysis and mention of how men can’t form a bond without fighting over a woman, I always find it off-putting when it’s the brother love triangle trope. I love familial relationships and struggle with rooting for either couple due the strain in the sibling dynamic, same goes for two sisters fighting over a guy. It’s just icky to me. I think Supernatural does a really good job of depicting a well-written sibling relationship, especially between two guys. Although Dean and Sam have their issues, you can clearly tell that they love one another and would do anything to protect the other—regardless of who gets hurt. Especially the parentification of Dean and how he views Sam perpetually as a child is awful but so interesting to see. Their codependency and Defan’s codependency are very different forms but also entirely similar. Should’ve had a cross-over😮‍💨

I loathe that the 2 brothers/neighbor girl love triangle has grown over the years. It's just ridiculous that siblings would risk their relationship, over someone who's not even that important. And I say that as someone that not only loves Elena, but ships Stelena. I just think that they could exist or even if the writers wanted it to be Delena, they could exist, without coming between the boys.

It's why I'm glad the Nathan/Peyton/Lucas love triangle in One Tree Hill was so short-lived. Lucas and Nathan had their drama, but it was never a girl that kept them apart. They had one of the healthiest brother dynamics I've seen on TV.

Dean and Sam are truly one of the best sibling relationships in all of media history. It's not always the healthiest. They are both pretty possessive over one another. Dean treats Sam like a 5 year old 90% of the time. But the love is there. They'd do anything for each other. And a lot of it can be explained by how they were raised. Dean falls into "dad/mom mode" (I think there can actually be an argument that Dean is more of a mom than a dad, but that's a whole other thing) and Sam falls into "baby that needs his parent mode". Given all they've been through, of course they can't be separated for very long.

The Salvatore brothers are equally codependent, in different ways. Damon spends a good century vowing to cause Stefan nothing but eternal misery. He easily could've hurt/killed him after it all happened and move on. But he didn't. We see there are several times they attempt to rebuild that bond but something goes wrong. They love each other and can't quit one another, no matter what happens in life. Because they're brothers. The only family each other has.

Dean is a far better brother than early seasons Damon, but I think he'd be proud of the brother that Damon becomes. Especially when Lily is back in the picture. I think they'd bond over moms coming back from the dead and not being how they once were.

darkness scattered through the dim view of the dingy solo level apartment window. the blistering pelt of rain ricocheted off the glass in tandem. the cacophony echoing in rhythm with each thunderous roar of his heart pounding against his chest. nathan scott was in love. more than in love. each fiber of his body was made up solely of haley james. each waking thought, sleepy daydream, and consuming conversation had some inkling of her in it. yet how could he admit that he was falling for his once well acquainted tutor who fell under false pretenses? his plan of a takedown to his half brother didn’t necessarily go without a hitch. it had it’s hiccups, of course. payback for all he had worked for — or should he say, his father worked for, as he so liked to recall — that was soon foretold to be taken away. his plans of being tree hill high’s shining basketball star with all others faltering to the dust. the relationship with said brother was knowingly nonexistent in the small town gossip train grapevine. middle aged mothers flocked at the chance of assessing old, matured wounds with their sharp, twisted words. all his life, nathan had been told of the tow headed subject that paralleled his world in every single way. the only difference is dan scott was a driving force in his life, where as lucas had the shockingly fair life from the younger sibling’s point of view. it was anything but a cake walk navigating the self centered point in the solar system known as his dad. and if there wasn’t compliance, there were consequences. it was all details that were collected into the wider picture. the praise and satisfaction that lacked in the scott family.

and yet, here he was. breath to breath with the honey haired beauty whom he had entrusted with his heart. it hadn’t always been this way. prior to meeting the five-foot-four-inched best friend of his half brother, nathan was anything if not a self proclaimed jerk. his exterior had hardened as his father before him, unabashed to do much other than take the easy road. a jock to his core, he carried himself with the fragile ego that most were painted with when looking to anyone labeled an athlete. and with a sport to spill into his cup, it left next to nothing for his academics. a loophole, or so it would seem. it was nearly a match made in heaven that lucas’ best friend was one of the smartest individuals in their grade. as he sauntered into the tutoring center, feigned bewilderment followed in the crease of his eyebrow as he called out, “hey, you must be haley,”

and that, was the beginning of the rollercoaster his emotions had taken him to now. she had been his aid in mathematics, english, history; and when it came down to it, love. many months in the past half year he recollected the dawns memories of entangling with the bleach blonde curls, cherry chapstick, curved jaw of one peyton sawyer. if there was an award for the boyfriend of the year, he would have won in spades. on opposite day. two years of a catastrophic relationship that ended just how is started. a failure. the knowledge of his battered ways has weighed heavy on his heart as of late. how in the hell did she put up with his pungent ways for so long? nathan wasn’t sure. what he was sure of, in the very least, was how he felt for haley. confessing the love to her that was paired with kisses shared in the rain. the cool edge of the raindrops simmered the flames that were ignited in the depths of his chest. i want to be somebody worthy of being with you, he said. not a single syllable of a fib uttered. somehow, within the matter of minutes they had migrated from outside to the four walls of his apartment. which led to the present. eager hues drank in his opposite like a tall glass of water, within the boundary that was set of no return. nathan scott wasn’t a virgin. that was a known fact. it seemed every student at tree hill high school had knowledge of such. and with that knowledge was also that of not pursuing haley in a manner she didn’t consent to doing. the tanned teen was crafting certain perspective that entailed obeying the wishes of his tutor. no pressure, no impulse.

there he laid, hovering in delicate fashion over the silhouette of his girlfriend’s stature. the harsh light of the pitch black sky was scarcely lit with the thrum of lighting that crackled in the sky every so often. but he didn’t need the gift of sight to know how stunningly, breathtakingly beautiful haley was. drips of residual raindrops trickled off the fringe of his hair, popping into the pleats of the covers on his bed. they were wet from the rain, soaking even. and still, the teen couldn’t find a single flaw found in her. the best of brokenness between kisses led him to gaze with euphoric stamina, each breath he inhaled as dark eyes fluttered open to meet what he knew to be her own pair. rotund fingertips spread along the flush of her cheek to the bend of her ear, tucking wet strands of hair behind. his nose brushed carefully along the tip of her own, the lightest of touch before the words that flooded through his conscientious shattered into the atmosphere like a bang of a gong. “i could love you forever, haley james…” it began, forehead to her own now, the warmth of each breath she drew hitting his cheek in an intoxicating force. so this was love. where every morsel of mind body and soul swirling together like the bleat of rain now ignored in the background. where everything felt right despite the outside world had no influence of what was had in the right now.

I always knew you shipped leyton but didn't know you hate Dan Humphrey, so now I love you even more!

It blows my mind when people love Dan Humphrey but detest Lucas Scott because to me Lucas is so superior in literally every way.

Lucas's biggest sin is that he makes some messy choices in his romantic life---who doesn't, especially on a teen/young adult soapy drama?! Dan, meanwhile, is a deceitful, manipulative, devious and self-superior ass who's vindictive as hell. Lucas has (oh the horror) a "hero complex" and tries to save people---Dan tries to put them down and at times even wreck their lives. Lucas distances when he's hurt and upset---Dan retaliates tenfold. Lucas cares about the people close to him, not status, wealth and popularity---Dan is weirdly obsessed with social status and popularity despite claiming not to be, sells his soul to be accepted by people who don't even like him and who he claims not to like much in return, and is so envious of the wealthy that it's flat out bizarre. And by the way, as you've mentioned, Lucas is a whole lot closer to being genuinely "poor" than Dan, who resides in a trendy loft in Brooklyn (lol), but Lucas doesn't use it as an excuse for all of his bad choices.

Want a few more?! :)

Dan secretly spies on and viciously sabotages his "friends" for years with his gossip girl blog---Lucas is worried that the movie version of his book will fail to do his friends' characters and experiences justice. Lucas owns that he's been an ass with regard to his love life and resolves to work on becoming a better person ---Dan always smugly, self-righteously insists he's justified even as he constantly pulls MUCH worse crap than Lucas would even contemplate. Lucas is enamored with Peyton because of her depth, secretly huge heart, and the emotional/intellectual connection they share--Dan is obsessed with Serena because he wants to be with the "It Girl" (again, lol) and even after dating her and knowing her for years derides her as an empty shell with nothing to offer other than her looks. Finally and most importantly--no matter how many ill-advised hair choices Lucas Scott made, Dan's hair is always worse ;)

Thanks for letting me talk to you about this--- I feel crazy since no one agrees with us :)

To put it simply: the only times Lucas’ parental figures expressed any disappointment in him was a result of him like… being a little bit of a slut and partying or in his worst case, his (rightful) vendetta against Dan killing Keith and wanting to expose that truth

When dans father has expressed disappointment in him every time it’s been because dans been a manipulative little shit despite his constant criticism of the upper east siders and their antics

I’ll tell you what rewatching gossip girl lately has made me even more of a dan hater lmao I cannot stand that hypocritical ass whiny bitch boy
