Then, they have their first real conversation shortly thereafter, when Peyton's car breaks down near a lake and Lucas goes to pick her with his tow truck: the two show an immediate and spontaneous connection despite not even knowing one another.
They finally get their happily-ever-after at the end on the sixth season , when they get married and right after have a daughter, Sawyer Scott , and then the three of them drive off into sunset together. Though coming from two very different worlds, Lucas and Peyton were incredibly alike, having similar personalities and both being introverted and smart intellectuals passionate about art, music and literature.
From the moment he first saw Peyton in the 8th grade, Lucas instantly fell in love with her, immediately settling the purpose of making her his wife, but, since he saw her like his "angel" and sort of unattainable, in particular for an outcast like him, it took him a long time to gather up his courage and talk to her for the first time, which finally happened at the beginning of their junior year. From this moment, Lucas found meaning in his life and felt his whole world came into focus and then his immediate and natural bonding with Peyton only made him love her more and more.
Lucas and Peyton share their first kiss " Life in a Glass House ". Right at the beginning of the series, Lucas and Peyton immediately form a strong connection from the very first conversation they have, feeling comfortable and understood by each other, initially having a relationship neither romantic nor friendly, but with clear hints of their mutual attraction, then slowly progressing to romance.
However, when Lucas confesses the depths of his feelings, saying he wants everything with her, Peyton becomes scared and runs away due to her fear to let someone in because of her traumatic past, leaving Lucas heartbroken and desperate. Peyton later understands she has made a mistake as she reciprocates Lucas' feelings and goes to visit him to confess that she wants all the things he wants and she wants them with him, but it is too late: Brooke, her best friend, has now become romantically involved with Lucas behind her back and despite being well aware of what was going on between them two.
