As promised, another Wyatt/Chris story. I hope you enjoy it. Just to let you know, there will be nothing past a kiss in this story, but it is still Wyatt/Chris.
The Lakeside
Summery: Chris Halliwell thought it was just going to be a quite break away with his friends, in a cabin by the lake. That was until he met Wyatt Matthews, a young boy who was camping with his friends across the lake from them.
When he starts to get close to the new boy, he starts to learn something that he never expected.
AU – No Magic. Wyatt is not Piper and Leo's son, nor is he related to the Halliwells

Chapter 1: The Trip
Chris stood outside his house, looking at the large car that was parked there. His parents were watching him from the house and his friends were just getting out of the car to greet him. The 18-year-old was going away for Spring Break with his friends, one of them had just inherited a cabin by a lake, so they were going for some fun.
Three people climbed out of the car, one of them going to the back of the car, opening the trunk so Chris could place his bag into it.
"Well, at least you have less that this wonderful girlfriend of mine." Tyler sighed as he took Chris' bag from him and placed it in the trunk. The Halliwell could not help but peak into the trunk to see lots of bags piled up and he had a feeling that most of them would be Tyler's girlfriend's. Tyler was 19, he had left Baker High School a year earlier, but was a good friend of Chris'.
"I wasn't that bad, Ty," Zara smirked slightly, causing Chris to turn and face the blonde haired, blue eyed cheerleader. She was 17, the same grade as Chris and was Tyler's girlfriend, "Really, Chris, you know me, I wasn't that bad."
Chris just raised his eyebrows at his friend and smiled softly.
"Course you weren't, Zara." Chris simply said. Next to Zara, stood Amanda. She was Chris' best friend, they had known each other since fourth grade and they confided with each other in everything. She was pretty, Chris could not deny that, but he was not interested in her in that way. She had long brown hair, with dark brown eyes.
"Hey, Ty, I'm sure she's only got her essentials." Amanda smirked at the college student as he finished packing the car.
"Well, of course," Zara nodded her head, she was the youngest of the whole group of friends that were going and acted like it too. She was not the brightest spark, but according to Tyler she made up for it in other departments – although it was something that Chris never wanted to think of, "I have my sraighteners, my curing tongs, my straightening cream and…"
"Wait, you have straighteners and curling tongs?" Amanda questioned the girl.
"Well, we're there for a week!"
"Girls!" Tyler rolled his green eyes, rubbing his short blonde hair with the palm of his hand, "I will never understand them."
"When are the others getting here?" Chris asked with a smirk on his face.
"They should be here soon," Tyler replied, checking his watch, "Danny's already made his way up there. He was going to make sure his cousin hadn't completely trashed the place last week." Chris nodded his head as the eldest talked about their friend that now owned the cabin.
As if on cue, a car pulled up just behind Tyler's, and Chris knew that it was Collie Shaw's car. Once the car's engine was off, Collie jumped out of the car, her long brown, almost black, hair up in a ponytail. Along with Collie, two others climbed out of the car. One of them being 18-year-old Stephanie, Chris' ex-girlfriend. If he was honest, Chris was surprised that Stephanie had decided to come on the trip, since she knew Chris was going to be there. Their breakup had not gone so well, considering it had been because Chris had decided that he was gay. He glanced at the girl, but she kept her gaze away from him. Sighing slightly, he glanced over at Collie's boyfriend, 19-year-old James Wood, who was also Tyler's twin brother.
"Hey, we all ready to go?" Collie asked, a smile on her olive skin as she looked straight at Tyler.
"Almost," Tyler nodded his head, glancing at his twin brother. The two were completely different. Where Tyler was a jock, James was a bit of a skater. Where Tyler was competitive, James was laid back and easy going, "I want to get on the road soon, anyway. It's like a two hour drive."
Hearing that, Chris turned to face his mom and dad, walking up the cobble stairs to them.
"I'll see you both in a week," Chris hugged Piper, kissing her on the cheek. He knew she was going to worry about him far too much, "I'll call if I need anything."
"Take care, buddy." Leo smiled, shaking his son's hand.
The brunette Halliwell turned and made his way back to the cars, climbing into the back of Tyler's car, to sit next to Amanda, who was already in there with Tyler and Zara in the front.
"Ok, let's go." Chris smirked at Tyler, indicating that they were all ready to leave.
--
"Hey, Mandy, did you pack your bikini?" Chris smirked at his best friend, using his nickname for her. The brunette looked at Chris and laughed slightly.
"Of course I did," she replied, "There could be some cute guys there. And don't worry, I'm gonna keep an eye out for you too."
Chris rolled his green eyes at his friend, sometimes he wished he had never come out to them, but they were all fine with it – except for his ex-girlfriend – and they did only have his best interests at heart when they said things like that.
In fact, even his family were great with the fact that he was gay. He was sure his mom and dad were slightly disappointed that there would be no girl and no white wedding, but they had his little sister, Melinda, for that.
"Hey, how about we change the music." Amanda changed the subject as she giggled at Chris' cheeks turning a bright shade of crimson.
"What do you want one?" Zara asked, turning to look at the brunette from where she sat shotgun in the car, "You know Tyler's CDs are all shit."
"Hey!" Tyler glanced over at his girlfriend, "My music's awesome thank you. Bon Jovi and Metallica rock!"
"It's old, sweetie."
"Hence why it's called classic rock." The blonde argued, with a smile on his face. Chris rolled his eyes again, this was one argument that they always had. However, it was not so much an argument when it was obvious they were laughing at the same time.
"Do you know what's around where we're staying?" Amanda now asked, laughing slightly at the couple.
"A lake," Chris answered with his usual sarcasm, when he saw his friend roll her brown eyes, he smiled slightly, "Danny never told us. Just that he had a cabin by a lake, where nobody would be around."
--
The two cars pulled up outside the cabin, to see that Danny was sitting outside on a sun lounger drinking a beer.
"I don't even want to think about that!" Chris exclaimed as he climbed out of the car and made his way over to Danny, "That's…ugh…"
"I'm just saying, Chris…" Amanda got out of the car too, but was cut off by Tyler.
"No, one more word about it, Amanda and I swear…" he held his hands up getting out of the car, "Talk about it all you want with the girls, but I do not want to think about a guy getting his dick cut off!"
"Hey people!" Danny smirked as he pulled himself off the sun lounger and 'high-fived' Chris, "What took you so long?"
"Traffic." James answered, getting out of his girlfriend's car and making his way over, along with all the others.
"Is everything ok in there?" Collie questioned with a smile, walking towards them, allowing James' arm snake around her waist.
"Everything's fine." The brunette male nodded with a smile on his face, it turned out that his cousins had not messed the place up as much as he feared.
"Right, girls," Collie said, turning her attention to Zara, Amanda and Stephanie, "Let's get changed."
First port of call for the girls was going to be the lake, while the boys sorted out the bags for everyone.
"How come Steph's here?" Danny questioned, mainly look at Chris, "Are you two back on?"
"No chance," Chris shook his head with raised eyebrows, "She just decided to come. Maybe she thought she could make me jealous with you."
The brunette 18-year-old laughed slightly at his friend and shook his head; "No offence. But I wouldn't go anywhere near her. God knows how many guys she's been with since you broke up with her."
The Halliwell had to admit that it was true, since he had broken up with the blonde haired girl, six months ago, many teenage boys at the school claimed to have slept with her.
"So, I see you've already started the party without us," Tyler sighed, motioning to the bottle beer in his friend's hand, "We've got to catch up."
--
"Amanda!" Collie called out from the lake as she was splashed with water. The four girls were in the lake, simply enjoying the heat of the sun on their wet bodies. Collie splashed the water back at Amanda, however it caught the cheerleader instead.
"Collie!" Zara shrieked, "She got you, not me!"
As all the girls splashed the water at each other, some hit the bank, where the four boys now stood in their swimwear.
"Hey! What did we do!" Tyler called out from the bank as he was hit with some of the water, causing the four girls to realise now that they were there.
"Sorry, sweetie," Zara apologised, "Are you coming in?"
The four teenage boys looked at each other with mischievous grins before looking at the girls. They could see the uncertainty in the girls' eyes just as they all stepped away from the bank and then ran into the water, all four of them curling their knees up to their chests and 'bombing' into the water, causing a large splash that hit everything and everyone around them. Each of the girls shrieked as the water hit them, closing their eyes from the offending liquid.
"Oh my God!" Zara shrieked out loud, "What did you do that for?"
"We just felt like it." Tyler answered with a smirk, swimming closer to his girlfriend and pulling her closer to him, laying a kiss on her lips.
Chris turned away from the show of affection, looking over at the other side of the lake. For a second, in the sunlight, he saw a blonde haired male stood on the other bank. He looked, almost like a God, the light hitting him in all the right places, but there was sadness in his soft blue eyes.
"Chris?" the Halliwell turned back to his friends as he heard one of the girls calling his name, "What's wrong?"
"I just…" Chris looked back to the other bank, to see the blonde had now disappeared from the bank, "Did you not see him?"
"See who, honey?" Amanda questioned, looking in the direction her best friend was looking.
Chris simply ran his hand through his wet locks and shook his head.
"Never mind," he sighed, "I guess I was seeing things."
--
Later that evening the group of friends sat in front of the fire, pizza and alcohol in the middle of their circle, cards out and in their hands. By now, they had decided to play strip poker, where all of them were missing a piece of clothing or two.
"Are you sure you want in this next game, Steph?" James asked the young blonde haired girl that sat just in her panties, "You know if you lose you're completely stripped and you have to do whatever the winner tells you to do."
"Like I give a shit, James," the 18-year-old rolled her brown eyes, "And anyway, so will you."
"Why would you give a shit, Steph?" Danny sighed at his friend's ex-girlfriend, "It's nothing most of us haven't seen already." The brunette looked at his Halliwell friend, who smirked slightly.
Interrupting the game was a knock at the door, causing Amanda to pull herself off the floor, in her bra and gypsy skirt and answer the knock. What she did not expect was a gorgeous, blonde haired male to be stood on the other side.
"Oh, hi! Sorry…" she apologise, trying to cover up her lack of clothing and then turning back to the group, who were now all looking at the newcomer at the door, "Erm, can we help?"
"Hi, um, I was wondering if any of you had a phone at all," the blonde haired male questioned, "See, I'm meant to be camping with some friends and got a little lost. I would call them but my cell has ran out of battery."
Seeing the male, Chris made his way over to the door to help his friend out. He suddenly realised that this was the guy he had seen earlier, at least he thought it was. However, that was not possible when this boy had just turned up.
"You shouldn't be out searching for the campsite now," Chris shook his head, "We've got cells you can call from, stay here the night and tell them you'll meet them tomorrow," now he had to make sure that was ok with his friends, "That's ok, right, Danny?"
"Sure," Danny nodded his head, "I hope you like strip poker."
"Oh right," the teenage blonde smiled, "Thanks, I'll just get my bag from my car."
As Amanda joined the rest of the group, Chris waited for the male to get his things and join them.
"Sorry, I didn't catch your name." Chris questioned as they made their way to the group, still getting ready to play the next round of their poker game. Chris could not help but notice right now, how pale the teenager was and the sadness, once again, in his blue eyes.
"Oh, I'm Wyatt," the male replied, placing his bag on the floor, "Wyatt Matthews."
"Well, I'm Chris," the brunette replied, "And these are Amanda, Collie, James, Tyler, Zara and Steph," he went around his circle of friends, who were still in different sorts of undress, "Sorry, we're in the middle of playing strip poker, so hence why some of us are wearing so little."
Chris looked over to Wyatt, who he could have sworn was looking him up and down, but he was not going to get his hopes up. He was seriously attracted to this male, but could not say for certain whether the male would return it.
"You're welcome to play if you want." Tyler shrugged his shoulders to the blonde male as they continued with their game.
"Oh and feel free to tuck in," James pointed towards the pizza's in the middle of the circle, "None of us can eat anymore. It may be a little cold though."
"Thanks." Wyatt simply replied with a smile as he sat down in the circle, glacing at Chris slightly, checking out his toned abs.
Straight away, Collie shuffled the pack of cards and dealt them out to her friends and the newcomer.
"I'm in." Stephanie told the group with a smile on her face, while Chris looked at his cards to see that he had two aces.
"I'm in too," he replied and then looked around the group, "And you guys?"
"Collie, learnt to deal a better hand." Danny sighed, putting the cards on the floor and folding. Tyler, Zara, Amanda and Collie all folded, leaving Wyatt to decide what he was going to do.
"I'm in." Wyatt smiled over at Chris, looking into his green eyes.
Collie missed the look that the blonde male was giving her friend and dealt out three cards, showing them to the group. The ace of hearts, the jack of spades and the king of spades.
"I'm staying in." Stephanie told the group.
"Me too." Chris agreed with his ex-girlfriend.
"I'm out." Wyatt now shook his head. Wyatt placed the cards on the floor and passed them over to Collie, where she put them in the pile of discarded cards. After that she dealt another one, the four of hearts. When the two decided that they were still in, she was about to deal the final card.
"You remember if you lose this game, you have to do what I decide, right?" Chris questioned his ex-girlfriend, with a slight devilish smile.
"You won't get to choose because I'm not gonna lose." The blonde answered simply and then indicated to Collie that she could continue. When the jack of clubs came out Chris smirked slightly, realising that he had a full house.
"Right, show your cards," Collie smiled, "Steph, you first."
The 18-year-old blonde placed her cards on the floor, showing that she had two kings in her hands. A laugh of shock did not go unnoticed by Tyler and James as they realised that she had had a good hand, it would take a lot for Chris to beat that, even if he could.
"I told you I wasn't losing." Stephanie told the group, looking smugly at her ex-boyfriend.
"Sorry, Steph," Chris shook his head with a smile, "But you are."
The Halliwell placed his cards on the ground and a sound of cheers was heard from the rest of the group as they realised that he had won the game. It was over.
"Lucky bitch." Tyler smirked at his friend and then at Steph, who could just look down at the cards in shock.
"Looks like you're getting your kit off," James smirked at the blonde girl, who stood up with a shrug and pulled her panties off, "That's what I'm talking about."
Hearing that, Collie hit her boyfriend hard on the arm, causing him to tell her that he was joking. The group were so busy laughing that they missed the look of shock on Wyatt's face. He could not believe how easily this girl pulled her clothes off in front of the group. Either they had done this a lot, or she was easy.
"Ooo, what are you gonna make her do?" Zara now asked, looking at the Halliwell who seemed to be thinking.
"How about the lake?" Chris asked, looking around the room and then allowing his gaze to fall on his ex-girlfriend. Her standing there completely nude did not really bother him, he had seen it all before.
"You can't make her go in the lake." Wyatt looked at the brunette, frowning slightly, "It'll be freezing."
"It's ok," Chris shook his head with a smile on his face, laughing slightly at how the blonde new comer was acting, "We'll be there with her. It's not like we'll make her stay in there the night."
The group of friends all started to leave the cabin. Wyatt walked behind them, being the last one to leave.
Before he did, he turned to look at the back to look at the cabin. Sighing, he closed his eyes before finally following the group to the lake just a few feet away.
So, tell me what you think in a review. Remember this is just the start, there will be more coming soon.
Oh and it is only a seven chapter story, so nothing too long.
