I started writing this story when I read about the elevator spoiler. I had not read about the panic attack yet so it takes a little different turn. Also I had it finished on Sunday already but unfortunately I had to wait 2 days before I could post here. I hope you enjoy it anyway : )
Dr. Reid Oliver was crouched on his desk staring at his computer. An extremely long and exhausting day had crept into his bones and made them aching and heavy. With every intention of finishing today's paperwork before heading home he tried to keep his eyelids from sliding shut again and again. Every time he opened them he read a few lines and wondered why the text did not make any sense. The small black letters were going from the screen to his eyes but not from his eyes to the brain.
'Screw it, this will still be here tomorrow.' he thought to himself as the tiredness got heavier and heavier and he noticed he'd not be able to shake it off anymore. So he snapped his laptop shut and gathered the folders on his desk to place them back into their drawers.
When he was done he stretched and moved over to the window. The hospital's parking space was nearly empty and the concrete was sparkling with rain and the orange glow from the street lights.
Great he thought to himself more rain. In the distance he could see the lights of a highway and a small village somewhere in the background. He remained still for a while enjoying the calm before he reached for his jacket and headed for the door.
Luke pulled the door of Bob's office shut behind him and reached down for the zipper of his jacket.
When he had come here three hours ago he had hoped that the discussion would be brief and that he could head home to call it an early night but then Bob had been called in for emergency surgery and not wanting to postpone the decisions about the funding had asked Luke to wait in his office. When he had finally been available the meeting had taken longer than intended and now Luke just wanted to head home and fall into his bed.
He moved along the dimly lit corridor when he heard the sound of an opening elevator. He quickened his steps, sprinted towards the hall and threw himself between the already closing doors.
''Are you trying to give me a heart attack?'' Dr. Oliver asked visibly annoyed with Luke's sudden presence.
''Sorry .'' Luke said with a defensive tone in his voice and leaned against the door. When his back touched the grey metal he felt a jolting and suddenly the lights began to flicker.
''What the hell?'' He jumped away from the doors fighting to regain his balance.
''Oh great .And I thought being stuck in a small town with you was a problem.''
''Well this is obviously not my fault.'' Luke waved his hands around for emphasis.
Dr. Oliver nodded folding his arms in front of his chest.
''But if you had not insisted on jumping in at the last moment at least I would be in here alone now enjoying the quiet instead of listening to you talking without an end which I am sure will happen.''
''What the hell is your problem?'' Luke stepped closer looking at him with a defying glance in his eyes.
''What are you doing here anyway I thought you and Noah had broken up. Or are you trying to buy your way back to him after all.''
Luke stepped back again looking Dr. Oliver up and down.
''You really have to be a jerk all the time don't you?''
''No. I'm just saying what I think but I can easily see though why that would irritate most people. Especially someone like you whose money has probably always been a good guarantee to have people pay them a lip service.''
''You are unbelievable.'' Luke shook his head incredulously. ''I just gave you millions to fund your hospital and you just stand there talking to me like that.'' Luke had stepped closer again and was gesturing between the two of them.
''See. That's exactly what I am talking about. I am grateful for that but like it or not you still did not buy me which leaves me with the right to think on my own.''
Luke shook his head looking for words.
''And I am sure you probably really don't understand why it would have been an issue for your boyfriend to be financially dependent on you.''
Luke jumped forward with one step grabbing Reid's jacket with both hands and pinned him back against the wall.
''I am telling you for the last time now. Stay the hell out of a relationship you know nothing about!''
With his body trapped between the wall and Luke's Dr. Oliver felt a sudden rush go through his stomach that he thought was adrenalin from the shock but as he met the pair of brown eyes full of anger and emotion he could not turn his gaze away. He had never know anyone as emotional and impulsive as Luke Snyder and he now finally had to admit that it turned him on beyond possible. By the way he was looking at him Reid could tell that Luke's mood had switched too. He heard him gulp and exhale sharply. His own breathing was getting faster as well and the only thing he saw where those lips that were just an inch away from his own.
Luke's gaze was travelling between his mouth and his eyes without doubt he was searching them for any sign to encourage or stop him. In the air there was a mix of electricity and plastic silence that seemed to take up all the space and pushed them closer together. He could hear Luke's breathing fill the silence around them. Reid wanted to search the pair of brown eyes that were staring at him but he could just not look away from those lips. They were pressed together and parted again and now glistening with saliva. At the sight of it his own lips parted and he could not keep his eyelids from falling shut. As he felt Luke moving closer he smelled soap and freshly washed clothes. Just a second later he felt Luke's lips against his own. He had been holding his breath for too long and at the breaking of the tension a deep sigh escaped his mouth.
Luke had at first just given in to the urge to connect their lips but when Reid had closed his eyes and moaned like that he was on fire within a second. He reached behind the other man's neck with his right hand bringing their bodies closer together as the kiss turned from innocent to passionate in a glimpse. Unaware of where they were Luke let take over his urges and started tugging at buttons and zippers with his free hand. By the way Reid was sucking on his bottom lip and by the sounds that he made Luke could tell he was not going to stop him. They both struggled out of their jackets without breaking the kiss and as soon as he was done Reid slung his arms around Luke's body again.
Luke moved his hands along Reid's back slipping them under the shirt hanging lose on his shoulders. With a small move he slid it off them and then broke the kiss to get rid of his own shirt. Just two seconds later he leaned back in craving to feel warm soft lips against his own again. Reid in turn reached between them to undo their pants when he felt a sudden jolting.
Dr. Oliver hastily pulled away from Luke throwing himself against the wall to hit the emergency stop.
He looked back at Luke whose expression was asking ,What the hell?'
''Well I don't know about you Mr. Snyder but I don't want to look like that when I get out of this elevator right across the night nurse's desk.'' He reached down for their shirts and threw Luke's at him before starting to button his own. Luke tried to avoid the other man's gaze as he fixed his belt and turned towards the mirror to straighten his hair.
Reid looked back over his shoulder to make sure that Luke was done before he pushed the go button.
Just a minute later they squeezed through the opening doors trying to keep their distance.
The night nurse smiled as they past her by and stepped out on the street each one turning into his direction without another word.
