It's short but I was not feeling all too good last night when I typed it up. I have a million things racing through my head on where I want to go with this story. Some things are going to happen soon to them. But I hope you enjoy, and please review! Thanks.
Reid sat in a hospital room, shirtless as a doctor cut the cast off his arm. Luke was standing in the corner of the room, holding Reid's shirt in his hand. Reid could see out of the corner of his eye, Luke staring at him, a dorky smile on his face. The doctor finished and pulled away. He started telling Reid to slowly move his arm and hand around. Reid did as he was told, but he kept looking at Luke. After the doctor was satisfied, he left. Luke walked up to Reid and handed him his shirt.
"Want to celebrate at Al's now that you've only got a week until you are able to perform surgery again?" Luke asked, as Reid slipped on his shirt.
"Do we have to go to Al's to celebrate?" he asked, a smirk on his face as he stood up.
When he stood, there was only a few inches between himself and Luke.
"This time, yes." Luke replied, "But after, maybe we can celebrate a little more privately."
They kissed before leaving the hospital and heading to Al's. When there, they ran into Chris and Katie. They sat with them after ordering but than Chris and Katie had to leave. Jacob was with Alison and Casey and they needed to pick him up. But before they left, they pulled Reid outside to talk with him for a minute. While they were gone, Luke sat at the table, messing with his phone. The food came and minutes later, Reid came walking back in and sat down.
"What was all that about?" Luke asked, as he was eating a fry.
"Nothing. Just something about the co-Chiefs thing at Memorial."
"If it was just for that, why'd they pull you outside to talk?"
"I don't know." Reid replied looking at Luke, "It's nothing. Really."
Luke nodded and went back to eating. Reid reached across the table and grabbed his hand. Luke looked back up at him and smiled. Reid smiled back.
"Why don't we finish up here and get going?"
"Your place or mine? My parents are staying at the farm tonight and Ethan and the girls are with my grandmother Lucinda." Luke replied
"How about, ours?" Reid asked
Luke had a look of shock on his face. He didn't know what to say. He understood what Reid was saying, he just wasn't sure. Reid pulled back from holding his hand, sitting straight up in his seat. He watch Luke as he figured out what to say. Luke smiled, laughed slightly, looked away and after a few minutes of silence, looked back up at Reid.
"Reid. I. I can't just move into Katie's with you. I'm already there enough as it is and it's a little crowded with us, Chris and Katie and Jacob."
"See that's the thing." Reid replied, "Katie and I talked earlier today while you were gone."
He took a fry and shoved it into his mouth before continuing.
"Katie and Jacob are moving in with Chris next week." he told him, "And. She's giving me her house. Our house, if you want it to be."
Luke was still silent. He was confused.
"You're going to make this difficult for me, aren't you?" Reid smiled, laughing slightly, "Luke, I'm asking you to move in with me. Could you please say something?"
Luke opened his mouth but nothing came out. He completely froze and Reid could tell. Reid's smile left his face, but he didn't stop looking at Luke. Suddenly Luke stood up.
"I've gotta get some air." was all he said before walking away.
Reid sat there for a minute, he definitely was not expecting Luke to react the way he had. He than stood and followed Luke outside. He ran after him and grabbed him by the arm, turning him around to face him. He held him by the shoulders and looked him in the eyes.
"Luke, if you want to wait, that's fine." Reid told him, "I just thought..."
"No. No, Reid. I don't want to wait." Luke replied
"Than what the hell was all that that just happened?" Reid laughed
Luke smiled, "I don't know. I guess, I freaked out because that was one of the last things I thought I'd hear you asking anyone."
"Yeah, well, I kind of surprised myself." Reid laughed again, "To tell you the truth, I reacted almost the same when Katie told me she and Jacob were moving out and giving me the house. And than froze when she asked if I was going to ask you to move in with me."
Luke looked confused again.
"It wasn't because I never thought of it before." Reid said, "Okay, well it is actually. I never thought I would be asking anyone to move in with me either."
"Than what made you ask me?"
"Do I really have to answer that?" Reid asked
"If you want a real answer from me, then yes, you do." Luke smiled
"Because," Reid said, pulling Luke in for a kiss, "I love you. Shouldn't that be enough?"
"I might need a little more convincing than that." Luke told him with another kiss.
"Then what the hell are we doing standing out here? If we go back to.. hopefully soon to be our place, I can show you."
They went back into Al's to pay for the food they never really touched, before leaving and heading back to the house.
