Reid was freaking out. He spent the rest of Monday evening either getting hard over his memories of the kiss or preparing himself for Mrs Snyder to fire him on the spot tomorrow. He couldn't get over how soft Luke's lips were or how insistent his tongue was. He remembered how hard they were moving against one another and he was surprised he hadn't come at the sight of Luke in so much pleasure.

But now he had two destroyed careers under his belt, the former for alleged incompetence and the second for making out with a seventeen year old in his office. He was only twenty eight and he had no respect left for himself at all.

Katie walked into her living room which was bathed in darkness. She pottered into the kitchen to get herself a glass of water and jumped out of her skin when a voice said,

'Sorry if I woke you.'

'Reid?'

'Who else would it be? I hope Hank doesn't sit in the dark in your living room.'

'Our living room.' She corrected.

'Ha! I've only lived here for six days, Katie.'

'I know but I like saying 'our' again. It makes me feel less alone. Now tell me, why are you sitting in the dark?'

'No reason. I'm just not tired.'

'So you're sitting in the dark?'

'I'm thinking.' He said, 'The amount of light hasn't affected my thinking.'

'Naturally.' She walked over to the sofa where Reid was stretched out and sat on the edge. 'Talk.'

Reid made up some lame excuse; something about a kid in one of his classes disrupting him during lessons, which wasn't a large leap from the truth.

He got ready for school and virtually inhaled the entire pot of coffee. He had barely slept the night before and now he felt shattered. His body was usually built for odd hospital shifts but it had been too long since his last all-nighter. He had Biology with Luke in the first period, if he lasted that long. He wouldn't be surprised if Mrs Snyder kicks him out before he got to it.

Luke sat down in the common room and slumped on Casey's shoulder. He hadn't slept at all last night; he kept reliving the kiss and revelling in how amazing Reid had felt against him.

'What's up, man? You look shot.' Casey asked.

'Yeah. I didn't get much sleep last night.' He sat up and leant back against the chair.

'Oh. What were you doing?'

'Nothing. Just couldn't sleep.' He lied.

'Well, you'd better wake up. You've got Dr Oliver next.' Casey nudged him. Luke sat upright and felt his cheeks blush.

'Oh yeah. I forgot about that.' He said looking through his bag and sighing with relief when he realised he had remembered his books for today.

'You sure you're ok?' Casey asked in a concerned voice.

'Yeah. Just annoyed I have Dr Oliver first. I can do without a headache first thing.' He tried to joke. Casey laughed.

'True. Oh look there's Alison. Bye, Luke.' He patted Luke on the back and went to go join his girlfriend. He could see Noah with his arm awkwardly slung over Maddie's shoulder and Casey hugging Alison and he wished it could be that simple for him and Reid.

The class started well. Luke kept his head down and Reid only let his eyes drift over to see Luke once. He noticed how tired the younger man looked,

'Probably just as tired as I look.' He thought to himself.

He wrote on the board which experiment they were doing that day and told them to work with their lab partners as this test wouldn't work with more than two people.

He sat down at his desk to set up on his desk the experiment to show them how it was supposed to be done after he saw their attempts when a voice called him away from his sorting out,

'Dr Oliver, my partner isn't here today. What do you suggest I do?' It was Luke. Of course it was. Reid caught Luke's eyes and blinked.

'Does anyone else not have a partner?' He asked.

'No, I've checked.' Reid sighed.

'Well, you'll have to work with me then.' Luke nodded and moved around the desk to stand partially to the side and partially behind Reid.

'I can take down the results and you can do the experimenting. You look tired.' Reid said.

'Ok. So do you, by the way.' Luke said as swapped places with Reid.

'I know.' He looked at Luke who looked straight back and inhaled quickly.

They stood in comfortable silence for the rest of the experiment until another student needed to walk behind the desk to collect something and pushed Reid's front straight into Luke's back causing Luke to fall forwards a bit. Reid slid an arm around Luke's middle and held him upright. Luke could feel Reid was as hard as he was and he pushed back slightly. Reid gasped and looked around the classroom to see if anyone had noticed their teacher and classmate in some early stage of foreplay.

Reid ran the tip of his nose down the side of Luke's face. The younger man's breathing had sped up considerably and he had put his left hand behind him and gripped Reid's thigh. They were slowly rocking in tandem, Reid panting in Luke's ear and Luke's hips moving in slow circles.

A shrill voice shouted out without looking over at Luke and Reid,

'Dr Oliver! Look, we've done it!'

Reid immediately stopped moving and stepped back. Luke had stopped moving too and for a second he thought that they'd been noticed however subtle they were trying to be.

Reid walked over to the girl's experiment and looked over it. Luke noticed that Reid had pulled his lab coat around so the rest of the class didn't notice how hard he was. Luke smiled to himself and begun packing up their experiment. He realised that no one in the class had seen them thanks to their experiments distracting them.

Reid had left the classroom before the rest of the class. He didn't head for his office he headed to Katie's. He knew she wouldn't be in. He also knew that Luke would go looking for him and the first place he would look would be Reid's office. And he just couldn't face Luke right now. He kept slipping. No matter where he placed the boundaries of their relationship, Luke kept moving them with his smiles and shockingly perfect ass.

Reid slumped down into Katie's sofa and covered his face with his hands. He had fallen hard.
