An hour later, Luke woke up with Reid asleep on his chest. He smiled at Reid's sleeping form and ran his fingers through Reid's hair. Reid woke with a start. "Luke?" he said when he realized Luke had touched him. "What is it? Are you okay?"
"Reid, calm down, I'm fine," Luke chuckled. Reid breathed a sigh of relief and sat up.
"How are you feeling?" Reid asked.
"I'm feeling great! A lot less weak than I was feeling yesterday. How are you?"
"I'm okay. Luke?"
"Yeah Reid?"
"I'm sorry I kicked you out. But don't ever scare me like that again," Reid scolded. Luke laughed.
"Okay, Reid. I won't."
"I'm serious. Luke, I thought I was going to lose you."
"But you didn't. I'm here."
"Yeah, you are. And I'm glad you're okay. I just…when your mom told me you tried to…" Reid trailed off.
"Off myself?" Luke finished for him. Reid cringed.
"Yeah…I lost it. It's all my fault this happened. I'm so sorry." Reid said. Luke placed his hands on either side of Reid's face.
"Hey, don't say that. It's not your fault. Don't ever think that for a moment. Reid, I was an idiot. I shouldn't have tried to…kill myself. But I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere."
"Good. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. I've never been one to invest my time into a person and we've been together for two wonderful years. I can't believe I almost threw that all away. And you know what the awful thing about this whole ordeal is?"
"What?" Luke asked.
"That it took you attempting suicide for me to realize it. I shouldn't have doubted you…but when I saw Mr. Mayer all over you…I just couldn't believe it and my head went to a bad place. I'll never forgive myself for that.
"Luke, I want you to promise me something. That no matter what life throws at us, don't ever feel like its hopeless. And I promise that I will always come back to you. If I learned anything this week, it's that life is fleeting and at any moment something could happen to bring my world crashing down around me."
"Jeez, Reid. That's deep…and kind of depressing."
"I know…and I hate that feeling. Why do you think I never had a long term relationship before you?"
"Well Reid, I promise that I won't ever lose hope again. I just feel lucky that I was given a second chance at life and at a relationship with you." Then, Luke placed his hand behind Reid's head and pulled him into a kiss. Reid groaned and deepened the kiss. He parted his lips and licked Luke's lips. Luke opened his mouth to let Reid in and they're tongues wrestled with each other. After awhile, the couple pulled apart and Reid smiled at Luke.
"I love you," Reid said.
"I love you too," replied Luke.
