„And then I said to Kurt that he should just forget about that photographer because he was born to model and..."-Reed prattled as he walked next to his boyfriend, jogging slightly to catch his long steps.

Usually, Shane was understanding and he would slow down to allow his petite boy to walk beside him without trouble but today…he was starving. His rehearsals lasted for hours and he ate breakfast a little bit too early to take him through the entire day and now he just wanted to sit down and place his order and then glare threateningly at all the people who got their food before he did.

He nodded absently at Reed's story and sighed happily when they reached the restaurant. Shane pushed the door open and stood back to allow Reed to enter first. He might have been hungry but he still had the burning desire to make Reed feel happy and loved.

The short man smiled lovingly at him and just for a moment he forgot about how hungry he was in favor of losing his mind over his beauty and gratitude that he chose him all those years ago.

A harsh blow to his ribs shook him out of his Reed-induced coma and he turned around to see a tall, strong looking man eyeing him apologetically, plates scattered all around his feet.

"I am so sorry….I wasn't paying attention where I was going and…so sorry."-the man said, sounding genuinely sorry but there was a look in his eyes that didn't quite match up with the whole "apologizing to the customer" act "are you okay?"

His eyes crept down Shane's body hungrily and he flashed him a smile so predatory looking that Reed felt like he was ready to murder him.

"Yeah I'm okay, don't worry about it."-Shane, the ever polite Shane, answered smiling back at the man and Reed frowned even more.

The waiter was a bit taller that Shane was, dark skinned, and muscled and absolutely beautiful. And he had an eye for his boyfriend.

"Are you sure. I mean…if necessary I could make it up to you."-he drawled in a husky, sickening voice, casting a glance at Shane's body once again.

"I'm sure he's okay. Aren't you honey?"-Reed stepped forward slipping his small hand into Shane's and squeezing his fingers. The waiter raised his eyebrow at Reed obviously just realizing Shane was here with a boyfriend. But his confusion only lasted a minute before he looked Reed in the eye and smirked. Shane was blissfully unaware.

"I really am. Just hungry."-Shane answered pulling Reed a bit closer and smiling at him that smile that made Reed week in the knees.

"Let's get you a table then."-the waiter said placing his hand on the small of Shane's back, steering him away from Reed.

"Oh that won't be necessary. We know this place pretty well. It's where we kissed for the first time."-Reed said snuggling under Shane's arm and shooting a dirty look to the waiter-"Jason" as his nametag said-reveling in the fact that the move made him step back a bit. He recovered quickly though and smirked at Reed as if to say "it's not over yet".

"Okay then settle down and I'll be with you in a second. You take your time to…decide what you want."-the waiter said placing his arm on Shane's shoulder and shooting Reed a nasty look that clearly said he meant business.

Reed frowned worriedly but he accepted the chair Shane held out for him with a soft smile and a gentle "thank you" that made Shane melt. He pecked Reed's lips and sat across him taking the menu.

After a quick deliberation they decided to get the chicken salad and pasta and share the meals since they couldn't pick just one thing.

The waiter sauntered over to their table swaying his hips with a provoking look directed at Shane, and a challenging one for Reed who just glared at him angrily. Who did he think he was, throwing himself at an obviously taken man?

"Have you decided what to get?"-he asked and Shane nodded placing their order.

"Are you sure I can't interest you in the house specialty? The portion is…much bigger I assure you."-he said glaring at Reed who suddenly felt like he could punch the guy in the face and never even feel guilty because the guy deserved it.

He knew that Shane was attractive, and there were a lot of situations when he would catch men staring at him and admiring him but Reed has come a long way since high school and his insecurities were more or less erased by Shane. He was now confident, strong and perfectly capable of defending what was his.

"Oh I know exactly what he wants. And the…um…size he's got is more than enough for him, thank you."-Reed smiled a sickeningly sweet smile and chuckled when the slut of a waiter glared at him as if he was surprised he fought back.
Well if he thought he was getting Shane without earning some bruises and scratches he was in for a big surprise.

Shane watched the weird exchange confused because Reed was usually sweet and caring and nice to everyone and now he was practically hissing at the waiter.

"Well if you want to settle for less I have no problem. I'll go get your food."-he sneered and turned to leave when Reed spoke up again.

"Also…could you have another waiter bring our food? I don't want to have to scrape my lunch from someone's head."-he said waving his hand absently, like he couldn't even be bothered to be polite and Shane's eyes widened at him.

"Reed…"

"Actually I'm afraid this part of the restaurant is mine and it's my duty to make the guests in it…satisfied."-he said the last part winking at Shane and Reed scowled having had quite enough of the stupid, slutty asshole thinking he can just swoop in and take what's his, and his alone.

"Be that as it may I am a customer in this part of the restaurant and unfortunately you eyefucking my boyfriend is not making ME satisfied so I would prefer if you either stopped or called someone else."-Reed snapped at him finally done with playing games.

The waiter looked taken aback by the small boy's outburst and Shane sat there gapping at them because he had no idea what was going on. He just wanted to eat. And he was happy to be able to do it with Reed. And now Reed was mad and the waiter was, according to Reed, flirting with him and how exactly was he able to miss all of that. The other two men still glared at each other and he thought the waiter would take the message and walk away. He obviously wasn't so smart.

"How about we have your handsome boyfriend tell us what he wants himself."-he said and boy was that a mistake. Shane smiled at Reed and then turned to the waiter.

"Oh, my baby's got it covered. I'll let him tell you exactly what I want."-he said leaning back and allowing Reed to have his moment of winning over the pushy man.

There was a time when Reed would curl in on himself and get scared that he would lose Shane to someone better but those days were long gone. He was now sure Shane loved him with everything he had and that they were forever.

"What my boyfriend wants is for you to get our food because he's really hungry. And for desert he would really like to have the chocolate mousse but please make it "to go" because he likes to lick it off something…other than a spoon.

That would be all thank you."-he smiled sweetly and Shane burst out laughing as the waiter made his way towards the kitchen, his cheeks burning with embarrassment and his hands clutching his writing pad and pen almost breaking them in half.

"That was awesome. My Bambi turned into a Tiger."-Shane teased and then laughed at Reed's blush. Yup, that was his boyfriend. He just told the whole restaurant his boyfriend liked to lick chocolate off him and now he was blushing because said boyfriend called him Bambi.

"Yes, well. You're mine and he can't have you. I won't let him."-he said fiercely and Shane's heart jumped.

"Like I would ever want anyone but you."-he winked at him, taking his hand across the table and smiling as they waited for their food to arrive, stupid waiter and jealousy completely forgotten. Who needed those when they had each other?

Review please :)
