Disclaimer: As the World Turns and it's characters are not mine, no matter how much I enjoy playing with them. :)
Author's Notes: AU (possible near future). This scene popped into my head and wouldn't leave me alone. Inspired (extremely) loosely by a scene from the movie 10 Things I Hate About You. In fact, mostly I just borrow a smidgen of dialog from the movie. I did not intend for it to go the way it does. Reid just took over. This is unbeta'd so any and all mistakes are mine...also, my first time writing any kind of smut whatsoever, let alone having any one read it. I'll be over here, freaking out about that, while you guys hopefully enjoy!
"Tell me something true." Luke whispers in the darkness. "Something no one else knows."
Reid almost doesn't hear him, Luke speaks so quietly. He glances down at the blond man whose head is lying across his chest. Reid can feel Luke's breath across his skin, making it tingle, and he wants him again, even though they'd already made love twice in the last few hours.
"What?" Reid manages to find his voice, threading his fingers into Luke's hair and massaging his scalp gently.
"You heard me." Luke sighs, enjoying the feel of Reid's fingers.
Flustered, Reid doesn't speak for a moment. He's not quite sure how to answer that question. He's not that guy. When he doesn't speak, Luke turns his head so that his chin is now resting on Reid's chest. If the lights were on, Reid knew that Luke would be staring into his eyes right now.
He can feel Luke's gaze in the dark anyway, searing him down to his soul.
"For someone who enjoys the sound of his own voice as much as you do, you think you could come up with something to say." Luke teases, finding Reid's free hand among the blankets and lacing their fingers together.
"Fine." Reid says. "I hate peas."
"What?" Luke replies, startled by his answer.
"You heard me."
Luke laughs, and Reid smiles. He likes Luke's laugh.
"You mean there's actually a food you won't consume?"
"Very funny." Reid pokes Luke in side, making the younger man jump and nestle closer to him.
"I thought so." Luke pauses. "Tell me something real."
"I really do hate peas."
"That's not what I meant." Luke tells him. Reid knows that's not what he meant. He knows what Luke is asking, what Luke has been asking since he started this conversation. He can almost see Luke's frown, his perfect lips curled downward.
"I know what you meant." Reid says softly. Try as he may, he can't bring himself to say anything more. Instead, he pulls Luke up until they are eye to eye and kisses him. He rolls them over, so that Luke is underneath him, and then Luke gasps as Reid slides inside him with no warning. Reid grabs Luke's shoulders, using the leverage to thrust as hard as he can. Luke moans as Reid leans down and begins to speak in his ear.
"This is real." He whispers over and over, feeling Luke with his hands, trying to convey with his touch what he can't seem to say with his words. Luke comes with a whimper and Reid does a moment later. He drops with a shuddering gasp onto Luke, burying his face in the crook of Luke's neck.
"Reid?" Luke whispers a moment later.
"Hmm?" Reid murmurs.
"I love you, too."
