Spooky..

"A picnic in the forest would be nice," Luke said. ...

Both Luke and Reid had taken the day off to spend some quality time together.

"Picnic it is," Reid said while clapping his hands.

With a blanket and a basket full of food, mostly for Reid, they walked to the entrance of the forest.
It was the most beautiful summer day ever, almost too perfect to be true.

"I know a special place," Luke said. "It's nice and quiet and far away from the pond."
Reid seemed to be OK with Luke's idea because he walked behind the man as a soldier following his leader, guarding the food basket with his life.

After the picnic, Reid laid himself down on the grey blanket in the grass.
Luke crawled to Reid and softly laid his head down next to Reid's.

Slowly, their lips met and with a gentle touch, Reid kissed Luke.

"Do you hear my heart beating?" Luke said. "My breathing? And how every sigh tells our story?"

Reid listened silently to his man, who he adored.

"Our feelings, and what we have," Luke said, "it's pretty serious, don't you think?"

"Yes, it is," Reid answered.

Meanwhile, the sun was as bright as possible and it made the young man tired, especially after all the eating. It didn't take very long for the boys to fall asleep.

"Reid?" Luke said. " Reid...Wake up"

With some noise, Reid slowly opened his eyes, expecting the sun to be as bright as a few hours ago.
"What time is it?" Reid asked..

"We must have been very tired, because it's already late in the evening," Luke answered

The sun was already lowering, and it wouldn't take too long for it to disappear behind the trees.
"Let's pack our things and leave this place before dark," Reid said.

After all, they we're far from the entrance and Luke wasn't too familiar with this part of the forest.

An hour later, they were still walking around. The sun was already gone and moon had taken its place in the sky .

"Are you sure this is the right way?" Reid asked

"I'm not entirely sure," Luke answered,"I don't know this area too well."
"Let's go home, Luke," Reid said. "I don't like these dark places."

"I'm doing the best I can," Luke answered.

At the same time, Luke realized he didn't know how to get home, and Reid wasn't too far from his famous panic attacks.

"Reid," Luke said, "tell me something about the brain. What part do you like most, for example?"

"What kind of question is that?" Reid answered, a little agitated.

"Give me your hand," Luke said. For some reason, Reid felt much better connected with Luke.
"I will never leave you Reid," Luke said. "You know that, right?"

Meanwhile, it looked like it was getting darker and darker.

And the only light the young men had was the light coming from the big full moon.

The forest wasn't a peaceful oasis anymore, it more looked like the decor of a horror movie.
Unrecognizable sounds were coming from the depths of the woods.

The mysterious wind that touched the treetops gently created strange and creepy sounds.

Reid's forehead became sweatier, and just before he almost had his panic attack, Reid heard Luke's voice,

"Yes, finally!"

Reid took a deep sigh...

"Telencephalon," Reid said.

"Excuse me?" Luke answered, not knowing what his boyfriend was talking about.

"Remember your question earlier, about what part of the brain I like most?" Reid said

"Yes, ..now I remember," Luke answered.

"It's the telencephalon..,that's the most largest and highly developed part of the brain, and also the part where we control our emotions.

"I wonder how big your telencefa-something is?" Luke said with a big smile on his face.

"Hey, watch it Mr Snyder," Reid said while wiping off the last drop off cold sweat.
