Chapter 29
Reid got up, and put his track pants on, and grabbed his running shoes.
"You going for a jog "?
"Yeah it relaxes me before a fight, why don't you stay here, and sleep"
"No"
"Yes you had trouble running yesterday, and I need you focused for tonight. I'm kind of jumpy right now so you rest, and I will be back soon for a shower, and than we can go to the gym, and in 8 hours the fight begins"
"Reid I can see your kind of nervous"
"God Luke yes I'm nervous because now I have you to worry about not just me. I don't want your Mom, and Grandma to think I'm a loser, because I'm not"
"I know your not a loser , and all that counts is what I think, and what you know."
"Can I tell you something without you freaking out on me"
"Anything" Luke got off the bed, and walked over touching his arm.
"I'm scared , I have never been scared before , this is my first big fight. I want to win so bad but if I blow this it is over for me. I know my chances pretty much suck fighting Killer he is twice my size"
"Maybe we should call it off"
"No I'm doing it, but I need you to tell me you will not hate me if I do lose"
"Hate you no way, I wish you wouldn't fight him but I couldn't stop you even if I could"
"You are pretty amazing Luke Snyder, will you love me if I don't look so handsome anymore"
"Stop this go for your run, and I will have breakfast waiting for you. This day is going to be a long one, but I have a feeling tonight we are going to celebrate right here in this room, and I don't care if you lose but I have a feeling you will be the Champ"
Reid touched his shoulder, and whispered, "I sure hope so". Luke brought his lips to Reid's as they kiss. Reid turned, "I will be back soon"
"I will be waiting"
Reid walked out , and Luke shut the door, and leaned against it.
He whispered, "God please keep him safe". He shut his eyes, and slide to the floor he put his hands over his face. He was so scared more than he has ever been, but he knew he had to pull it together for Reid. He had to put a brave face on for him, because Reid needed all the support he could get.
Luke was making toast, and peanut butter, and he realized he really had to get some groceries in Reid's place, he really didn't have much to work with. It was 20 minutes later Reid came back, and walked in taking his shoes off, and walked into the kitchen.
"Oh look at the lovely breakfast"
"Sorry this is all you had no eggs or bacon, not even cereal"
"I know I'm not a breakfast guy, well that is a lie I'm a half dozen donut guy"
"Oh that is healthy"
"I like the ones with fruit in the middle"
Luke smiled, "You are a character Reid Oliver"
"Character like Superman or something"
"That is a super hero but something like that". Luke walked over wrapping his arms around him, and they kiss.
Reid touched his cheek, and whispered, "Were you crying your eyes look sore"?
"A little I'm worried I can't help it"
"I love that your worried about me"
"Well you are my guy now right"?
"Your guy you mean we are going steady"?
"Would that be so bad"?
"No it just doesn't happen to often for me"
"Well I'm a keeper Reid you wait , and see"
"I see that already, lets eat breakfast, and than I will shower"
"Well we can shower together, and be ready faster"
"Smooth Luke".
Luke smiled, "Well you can't blame a guy for trying"
Reid whispered, "Well saving time is a good thing, but I'm sure if your in the shower with me we will not save on time"
Luke giggled as they sat down, and started to eat their toast, and drink their coffee. Luke and Reid couldn't keep their eyes off of each other. Reid for the first time in a long time didn't have much of a appetite so he only had 1 slice of toast, and his coffee. Reid got up, and said he would go down to the bathroom, and get started. Luke grabbed his hand, and whispered, "I'm finished lets go shower". They walked down the hall, and went into the bathroom together.
