Luke was looking over some documents for his foundation. The new neurology wing was finished but Reid had wanted to add another operating room. Luke ran his fingers through his hair, frustrated. He loved Reid but sometimes, that man was way too ambitious.
"Hey," Reid said, coming out of the bathroom. He sat down by his boyfriend and looked over his shoulder. "What are you up to?" Reid asked.
"I am trying to figure out a way that we can afford the new operating room that YOU wanted," Luke replied.
"Luke, if it's too much trouble, don't worry about it." Luke looked up at Reid with his eyebrows raised.
"Seriously?" Luke asked.
"Hey, if it can't be done, it can't be done," Reid replied.
"Wait a minute. Two days ago you said you HAD to have this new operating room. Now you're saying don't worry about it? Either you're up to something or you're not Dr. Reid Oliver. Reid doesn't have a twin I don't know about, does he?" Luke joked. Reid chuckled.
"No, I just…I'm bored and I thought we could…" Reid began.
"I knew it! You just want to have sex!" Luke cried.
"Guilty. But in all seriousness, if it's too much trouble…I guess I can do without the second operating room," Reid said.
"You're just trying to get me to fool around with you."
"Is it working?' Reid replied. Luke smiled and nodded at Reid. Then he moved to kiss Reid on the mouth. Luke was just about to straddle Reid when there was a knock at the door. "Gah! Let's not answer," Reid said. Luke just shook his head.
"I'm sorry, babe. What if it's important?"
"If it was important, they would have called first," Reid whined. Luke grinned and got up from the couch, despite Reid's protests.
"Coming!" Luke shouted. Then he opened up the door. A familiar black haired man stood in front of him. "Noah!" he shouted, causing Reid to look over.
"Hey, Luke," Noah said, smiling.
Reid did not like how this day was turning out. He got up off the couch and moved to stand beside Luke. "What are you doing here, Mr. Mayer?" Reid growled.
"Dropping in on an old friend, Dr. Oliver," Noah replied, narrowing his eyes at the doctor. Luke sensed a fight coming.
"Hey, guys. Chill, okay? Reid, why don't you go get ready for your shift at the hospital?"
"But," Reid began.
"No. Reid, Noah is a friend and I haven't seen him in awhile. Go shower," Luke commanded.
"Fine. But don't you try anything, Mr. Mayer," Reid warned before stalking off towards the bathroom. Luke watched him go and then hugged Noah.
"Noah! It's great to see you! I didn't know you were going to be in Oakdale!" Luke exclaimed.
"Well, it was a spur of the moment thing. I stopped by your mom's house but she told me you were living with him," Noah said.
"His name is Reid. Noah, it's great to see you…but please don't start anything, okay? Reid just started as the chief of staff a couple days ago and he really doesn't need the stress," Luke warned.
"Fine. I'm sorry Luke."
"It's fine. So how have you been? I'm sorry I didn't tell you that I had moved in with Reid. It only happened about a week ago and I've been so busy with the foundation and with Grimaldi shipping."
"Don't worry about it…it just took me by surprise," Noah replied.
"Why? Noah, before you left for LA two years ago, I told I loved Reid."
"Yeah, I know. Don't remind me," Noah growled.
"Noah," Luke said with a warning tone.
"I'm sorry," Noah apologized for the second time.
Noah and Luke were sitting at the kitchen table talking about what was going on in their lives when Reid emerged from the bedroom. He glared at the back of Noah's head as he watched Luke talking to his friend. Reid did not like this one bit. What the hell was Noah doing here? Reid cleared his throat causing the two men at the table to look up. "Well, I'm off to the hospital," Reid said.
"Oh, okay baby!" Luke said, getting out of his chair. "Noah and I were just talking about his movie. It just hit theatres! Isn't that great."
"Wonderful," Reid growled.
"Hey, be nice," Luke warned. He then went over and kissed Reid on the mouth. Reid caught Noah grimacing out of the corner of his eye. Smiling, Reid wrapped his arms around Luke and pulled him closer. He enjoyed the look of disgust that appeared on Noah's face. Luckily, Luke didn't notice what was happening. "Wow, what was that for?" Luke said, pulling away from Reid.
"Oh, nothing. I just love you, that's all," Reid said. Then he kissed Luke once again and headed for the door. "Bye babe." Luke cleared his throat. "Mr. Mayer," Reid said.
Noah just grunted in response. Then Reid left the apartment.
"God, he is still a pompous ass," Noah said.
"Hey, watch it Noah. That's my boyfriend you're talking about," Luke said.
"Sorry," Noah stated.
"It's okay, Noah…just please try to be a bit more pleasant."
"I will after he stops rubbing the fact that he got you in my face," Noah whispered.
"What?" Luke said.
"Oh don't play dumb, Luke. He did that on purpose! God, I hate that you're with that guy!"
"Noah," Luke began.
"No! You should have been with me! I asked you to come to LA with me and you turned me down. I still love you, Luke," Noah yelled.
"Noah!" Luke yelled back, getting angry. "I am with Reid and I love him! You pushed me away, remember? You didn't want me and I understand why. I mean, you were blind and you didn't want people helping you. I get that! Okay? But I am in love with Reid. I fell in love with him the moment I met him. I was just too worried about you! I felt guilty, Noah! It was my fault you were blinded and you weren't letting me in yet I felt like I owed it to you! Do you know how hard it was to get Reid to realize that I had feelings for him after you could see again? So fuck you, Noah. He was there for me and even though I kept pushing him away because I was so worried over you, he still accepted my love."
Noah stared at Luke in shock. "Luke I..I didn't…" Noah stuttered.
"No. Noah, get out. Go to your hotel and just get out! You come here, insult my boyfriend and then tell me that you still love me? I'm sorry you came all this way but I will not tolerate this," Luke yelled.
Noah flinched at Luke's words. This wasn't how this was supposed to work out! Luke was supposed to be kissing him now! Noah knew however that Luke was pissed and he needed to get out of the apartment. "I…okay…sorry Luke," Noah whispered. Then he grabbed his coat and fled the apartment. After Noah left, Luke plopped down on the couch, fuming. He couldn't believe that Noah was being like this. How dare he come into his home and insult Reid? Luke really needed a drink so he pulled out his phone and dialed Katie's number. She would be able to calm him down.
Luke talked to Katie for almost an hour before he was able to calm down. He decided to keep what had happened from Reid; Reid was going to be tired and cranky when he got home and the last thing Luke needed was for Reid to get pissed and storm over to the Lakeview.
