"How did it go," Reid asked almost immediately. Luke fastened his seatbelt, keeping it loose enough for him to scoot over to kiss his boyfriend.

"It was interesting," he said reclaiming his seat and fixing the belt before Reid pulled away from the curb.

"Interesting how?" Reid asked curiously. "Did you guys have a good talk?"

Luke purposely waited until they were stopped at a red light before he answered Reid's question. He had decided that the best thing to do was to just be honest with him. That had always been their best policy. "Jordan kissed me."

Reid glanced at him momentarily his face belaying nothing of what he was feeling. It was moments like these when Luke wished he could read Reid better. Was he hurt and upset with him? Was he feeling anything, or was he going to make Luke wait until they were at his house before letting his opinion be known? Luke watched Reid's jaw tighten, but his boyfriend never looked back in his direction. Luke sighed and looked out the window, wondering if he should have just kept his mouth shut.

"He kissed you?" The question came out of nowhere and Luke looked up to see his boyfriend staring at him. He looked out the window, realizing they were back at his house and he sighed. "Luke," Reid said placing a hand on his shoulder. "Come on, look at me."

"Are you mad at me?" Luke asked cautiously. "I mean, I didn't kiss him back, Reid. It was just, so out of the blue and he just laid one on me. I pushed him away, and honestly I felt really disgusted by the whole thing. I couldn't believe that he had overstepped the boundaries of our friendship like that."

"Unbelievable," Reid said his hand hitting the steering wheel. "I can't believe this."

"Reid?"

"Of all the stupid, lame brain moves, I think this one takes the cake."

"I'm sorry," Luke whispered even as he lowered his head and reached for the handle to open the door.

"And it's not like he didn't know you had a boyfriend. Why would he do that?"

"Huh?" Luke asked as he realized he wasn't certain what Reid was talking about anymore.

"I can't believe he took advantage of you like that," Reid repeated, his head tilted to the side as he noticed the horrified look on Luke's face. "Are you okay?"

"I thought you were mad at me," Luke said as relief settled over him like a blanket.

"Why would I be mad at you? You didn't do anything wrong."

"Jordan said he's in love with me," Luke admitted as his eyes settled on Reid's intense gaze. "He said he wanted to be my first everything. I've never heard him talk like that before, Reid. It was very awkward and very sad."

"It explains a lot," Reid mused. He reached out a hand to caress Luke's cheek before cradling it in his grasp. "I can't say that I blame him for being in love with you. He has known you for a very long time…and then suddenly I show up. I can understand he may have been a bit jealous."

"But you're not," Luke said taking Reid's hand into his own. "I just told you another guy kissed me, and you're cool and calm while I am a bundle of nerves. "Why is that?"

"Because I feel lucky," Reid explained.

"Lucky?"

Reid nodded and leaned in to kiss Luke softly. The kiss deepened as Luke's hands moved to cup Reid's cheeks and for a moment they got lost in a heated embrace.

"I think I'm the lucky one," Luke sounded shy as he leaned his forehead against Reid's. He felt warm and content and he didn't want this moment to end.

"He knows right?" Reid asked pulling away so that he and Luke could see eye to eye. "He knows you two are friends and nothing more?"

"He's my brother," Luke said pointedly, leaving no room for argument. "I have loved Jordan my entire life, he's my best friend, and I need him in my life."

"Yeah, that's how I feel about Manda," Reid admitted, a smile crossing his lips as he realized he did have his own version of Jordan. "Of course, she's not in love with me…at least not to my knowledge."

"Reid," Luke laughed despite himself. Reid smiled, glad that he was able to break the tension just a little bit. Besides, he loved to hear Luke laugh. "Seriously though," Luke continued once his laughter had died down, I need Jordan in my life and I told him that. I think he understands…though I am sure it will take time for him to completely accept that you're a part of my life too."

"I think I can deal with that, as long as he knows he can't kiss you again."

"No more surprise kisses," Luke said shaking his head.

"Okay…because if he does, I swear I won't be able to control my temper. It wouldn't be pretty."

"I think you're the only guy I know who would threaten a wrestler and challenge him to a duel." Luke giggled at the mental image.

"Well I am quickly learning that this relationship thing means being willing and able to do just about anything for your mate. Therefore I would gladly step up if I needed to, shall we say, defend your honor."

"Awww, you'd fight for me?"

"Well figuratively yes. I don't know how much fighting I can do physically. My hands are going to be how I make our living."

Luke smiled at Reid's last statement. He wondered if his boyfriend even realized he had said it. For now he was willing to let it go. On some levels things seemed to be happening so fast, but on the other hand it just felt right. Being with Reid was an amazing feeling and soon enough he would be able to share that news with him.

"I don't want you to fight," Luke admitted. I would have been very upset if Jordan had hit you tonight."

"Yesterday."

"What?" Luke asked puzzled.

"It's after midnight," Reid pointed out nodding at the dashboard. "In fact it's way past time for either of us to be out."

"Wow," Luke said looking back towards his house. "I better sneak back in before Mom notices I'm gone."

"She won't notice," Reid smirked. "Your mom can sleep through an earthquake remember?"

"You're so mean," Luke swatted at him only to find himself pulled into another intense kiss.

"See you tomorrow" Reid said breathlessly.

"You mean later today," Luke's tone was playful as he looked at his boyfriend.

"Yes."

"See you tomorrow Reid…and thank you for wanting me." He kissed him softly one last time before getting out of the car. Reid watched him sneak into his home and only pulled away after Luke appeared in the window to wave at him.
