Okay so, this is a continued story of "Unlikely Savior". Read that first. Please tell me what you think about this as well. I would really love reviews of any kind. Good, bad, horrible. Anything! Thank you!
With the discharge papers signed, Reid and Luke were getting ready to leave when Dr. Bob Hughes walked in, "Dr. Oliver, take a week off to recover and when you return, you'll work in the clinic until your arm is ready to perform surgery again." He was than gone.
Luke looked at Reid, who had a blank look on his face. "What the hell am I suppose to do for a week?" Luke smiled at him, "I can think of a few things." Reid looked at Luke and saw the look on his face. He smiled back.
They than left the room. The group of people who had been there for Chris earlier, were still there, scattered in the hall. Alison came up to them, "I'm glad you're alright." she smiled, "And I've got good news. There is a second heart. It's on it's way here for Chris right now."
Reid and Luke both smiled, "That's great." "Luke, give me a minute. I'll see you at the car." Luke just nodded and headed outside. Reid headed into Chris' room where Katie was sitting with him.
Luke stood outside leaning against his car. Minutes later Reid came walking up to him. "Ready to go?" he asked, turning to open his car door. Reid stopped him and turned him back around. "What's up?" Luke asked, smiling at him.
"I just found out that Katie is staying here with Chris all night." Reid smiled, "Would you like to stay with me tonight? You know, I shouldn't be alone. I may have a concussion or something."
Luke laughed, "Sure. I'll stay with you tonight."
"Good!" Reid said, "So, can I drive." he asked, holding out his hand for Luke's keys.
"Well, considering what happened last time you were behind the wheel." Luke held his keys over Reid's hand, "Yea... No." he teased, "Get in."
Luke thought he saw Reid pout as he walked around the car and got into the passenger seat. They reached Katie's house. Walking inside, Reid collapsed on the couch and stretched out. Luke went to the fridge and grabbed each of them a water. He walked over to the couch and Reid moved his feet for him to sit down. Luke sat so he was facing Reid and suddenly Reid had his feet resting on Luke's lap.
Luke handed Reid one of the waters, "What no beer?" Reid asked, opening his water and taking a drink of it.
"Reid, you were just in an accident..."
"Technically, I wasn't really in an accident. I'm fine. I'm not dead," Reid sort of laughed.
Luke looked down, "It's not funny Reid. I could have lost you."
Reid's smile disappeared. He sat up and scooted closer to Luke. He grabbed Luke's chin and forced him to look at him. Luke had tears in his eyes.
"You're right. I'm sorry." Reid told him.
Luke didn't say anything and Reid Leaned closer to kiss him. Luke returned the kiss. Reid dropped his bottle of water on the floor and placed his good hand on Luke's hip as Luke started to unbutton Reid's shirt. They were still kissing when suddenly Luke pushed away, "Wait, wait."
Luke had his hands on Reid's now bare chest and Reid just looked at him. His casted arm laying across the back of the couch, his other arm stretched across Luke, his hand still on Luke's hip.
"This is going to fast for you." Reid said, just looking at him.
"I'm sorry Reid, I do want to be with you. It's just. I don't think this is the right time."
Reid just nodded and sat back against the couch. He was still sitting right next to Luke, who laid his head against the back of the couch. Reid mimicked him and turned his head to look at Luke, who had his eyes closed and was breathing slowly.
The train was coming. He couldn't restart the car and his seat belt was stuck. He was trapped. He looked up to see the train getting closer. There was nobody there to save him this time. The train was there. He was dead.
Reid sat up straight in bed. He was covered in sweat. He looked at the clock. It was only two in the morning. He then turned and looked over at Luke, who was curled up at the edge on the other side of Reid's bed, still fully dressed, unlike Reid, who was only in a pair of sweatpants.
He huffed as he climbed out of bed and walked to the bathroom. Turning on the water, he looked at himself in the mirror. He looked like he hadn't even slept at all. It didn't surprise him. He splashed water in his face before returning to his room.
Luke was still curled up in the same position. Reid climbed back into bed, making sure he didn't wake his sleeping partner. He rolled on his side, facing Luke, who had his back to him. He could hear Luke's soft breathing as he slept and within minutes, he was back to sleep himself.
Early that same morning, Luke was up and sitting on the edge of the bed, slipping his shoes on. Reid was still asleep, sprawled out on his stomach. He was snoring softly, which made Luke laugh to himself as he got up to leave. He stopped at the bedroom door to look back at Reid once more before heading into the living room for his keys.
"Morning Luke!"
Luke jumped at Katie's voice, "Hey. I thought you weren't going to be home..." "Oh, I just got in. The Hospital coffee is not good, even after four cups of it." Luke laughed at her remark about the Hospital coffee. He knew all about the coffee.
"How's Reid?" Katie asked "Good. Still sleeping." Luke replied, picking up his keys from the table. Katie just nodded. She finished filling her coffee mug and walked across the living room to Luke. "Where are you going?"
"Just to the farm. I never called my parents and told them I was staying with Reid last night."
"So, you really did stay all night." Katie smiled "Yeah," he replied, "But nothing happened." "Right. I'll walk out with you." They than left.
About a half hour later, Luke had returned. He had showered and changed clothes and had a thing of pancakes for him and Reid. He sat them on the table and went to make more coffee. He could hear the water running so he knew that Reid was finally up and in the shower himself. But he didn't hear the water shut off minutes later or hear Reid enter the room, until he was right behind him.
"Morning."
Luke jumped again and turned around to look at Reid, "Morning. You know people really need to stop scaring me like that." "Sorry. Who was it that scared you?" "Katie. She was here earlier when I got up."
"I was wondering where you went." Reid said, kissing him.
"I went to the farm to shower and change." Luke told him after they pulled away from each other, "My dad is glad you're alright and he made us pancakes."
"Oh, food!" Reid said, looking around.
He saw the thing of pancakes on the table and quickly snatched them up. Luke laughed as Reid went over and sat on the couch. He opened the tub filled with pancakes, grabbed one and just about stuffed the whole thing into his mouth. Luke joined him on the couch, handing him a cup of coffee.
Luke grabbed a pancake for himself and looked at Reid, who was now stuffing his third pancake into his mouth. They fell silent as they eat. Luke was tearing pieces of the pancake up and eating it. He was looking down at his hands and his pancake.
Luke leaned back and Reid watched him as he slowly at his pancake. Reid finished his and turned on the couch to face him, "What's wrong?" Luke didn't look up or say anything.
The minutes rolled by and Reid was starting to get annoyed. "Luke, if something is wrong..."
"I just can't get the idea that I almost lost you out of my head." Luke whispered, "I don't know what I would have done."
Reid tilted his head to lean on his casted arm, "You would move on. Probably with Noah."
Luke looked up at him with surprise, "Reid, I love you. But I wouldn't be able to get back with Noah if you died."
"Sure you would. Noah still cares for you, he told me. He'd be there for you if something did happen. But nothing is going to happen." Reid grabbed Luke's free hand, "I promise."
Luke just nodded. "I love you too. So stop thinking something is going to happen to me."
Luke smiled at him and leaned in to kiss him.
