In no way do I own any of these characters .. otherwise they would end the way that I want them too. All Characters are the thoughts of the writers of As the World Turns … This is just my hope (even though most of you will hate this) on how the Noah/Luke/Reid thing ends up. PLEASE let me know what you think.

Choices. It all came down to which person he was IN love with. He loved both of them. For different reasons. But which one was he IN love with? Choices sucked.

Luke was sitting at his desk at WorldCorp thinking about his men. Because sadly at this point in his life he had two men that he loved and loved him back. But that had to stop. Leading one on, when obviously (though slightly alluring) a three-some was not going to happen.

Luke grabbed a piece of paper and a pen. He could do this. This is possible to be done. Noah or Reid? Reid or Noah? Both put a smile on his face for completely different reasons. Maybe he had to be objective. Write a pro/con list for both. How sad is this that I can't even make up my own mind without writing it down.

Reid

Pro – His attention to EVERYTHING Luke did

Noah

Pro - His first love, his first everything really.

Reid

Con – His lack of kindness to others (although when pushed he did have it)

Noah

Con – His lack of confidence in Luke (although when pushed he did have it)

Noah

Pro – His love of life

Reid

Pro – His love of sandwiches, chili, cornbread, food really. The amount of joy he had over simple things.

Reid

Con – Pushing Luke away at times of emotion – any emotion

Noah

Con – Pushing Luke away at times of crisis

This list is never going to end! Luke thought to himself. There was so much about each man. Maybe I am going about this the wrong way, Luke thought getting up from his seat to look out the window of the offices. He could see the college where he and Noah had gone to school together and shared so many memories. He could also see the hospital, where he and Reid had shared so many fights and arguments, and sly glances.

He looked back and forth between the two buildings. They were mocking him. Make up your mind, make up your mind. He completely agreed, but maybe it wasn't his mind that needed to be doing the thinking – maybe it was his heart.

Luke closed his eyes and listened to his heart. Slowly his eyes opened and a smiled crossed his lips. Just one. He had just thought of one person, not both of them. A warm glow started to fill his heart, mind, and body. It was right. He was right. His decision was made, now he just had to tell them.

Best to do this together, Luke thought. He picked up his phone and sent a text to both Reid and Noah.

Can you meet me at 7:30 at … Luke had to stop and think. There needed to be a place in town that was neutral. Had no meaning to either Luke and Noah or Luke and Reid. Well, damn, that rules out about every place in this whole town. Luke thought to himself. Al's. There were good and bad memories for both there.

Can you meet me at 7:30 at Al's? Need to see you. Important.

Luke carbon copied both Reid and Noah to the message. He thought about warning each man that the other was coming, but he couldn't figure out what to say. Both should be able to make it. Noah was off from Java on Thursdays, and Reid – as long as there were no emergency surgeries – was normally done with the hospital by 5:00. Hopefully they would both be able to make it.

See you then, Luke. I have missed you – Noah.

Mr. Snyder, this had better be important – RO

A smiled played upon Luke's lips as he read the message of his love. He hoped this would work out for the best, for all of them.
