Back in New York
Luke was away for two weeks.
They missed each other.
Back in New York.
Reid had a busy week and a half. And he blamed himself.
When Luke left to go home for two weeks to spend with his family. He decided it would be a good idea to plan in some more surgeries than usually to keep him busy and shorten his waiting list. Unfortunately he also got called in for five emergency surgeries. So he had been busy indeed.
But not busy enough not to miss Luke.
With Luke being busy with his siblings as well they only managed to talk three times while he was out of town. He loved the fact that with smartsup they could exchange a spoken message next to text messages. He listened to some of the super sappy little recordings Luke send him before going to sleep every night.
Walking in to his apartment he began to really feel how tired he really was. Thank god it was the weekend. He wanted to check in at the hospital tomorrow to look in on his pre-op patients but he had time to make up for the lost sleep before Luke came home on Monday.
It was silly really how much he missed him. When he tried to phone Luke before turning in he got the voicemail immediately. It must be the sappiest message he ever left for someone. It must be the lack off sleep.

When Luke waited for his luggage he checked his voicemail.
Hi Luke.
It looks like I missed you again.
I wish you where here Luke. I miss you.
Next time you are going back to Oakdale I'll go with you.
Maybe not for the hole time though.
I hope to talk to you tomorrow.
I am going to bed now. I wish you would be here when I wake up.
See you soon.
Bye.
Luke was still smiling when he was taking his luggage to a cab. He knew Reid had a busy week so he was planning on going back to his own place for the night and surprise him tomorrow. But realising Reid missed him just as much as he missed him. That is why he came back a little bit earlier than he had planned. He gave the cab driver instructions to go to Reid his apartment.
Luke had let himself in with the key Reid gave him a month ago and after he dropped his bags in the livingroom he snuck into Reid his bedroom. He noticed Reid was still awake checking something on his phone. He was just about to say hello when he heard his own voice.
"Hi Reid. It looks like I missed you again. Just so you know I have been thinking about you all day. You would love the food my grandmother made us today. When I went swimming at the pond I was just hoping that if I turned around I would find you there. All wet off course. Maybe you can come with me next time. It seemed like I left a piece of myself still in New York. I miss you Reid. I hope to talk to you tomorrow. I love you".
"I love you to" Reid whispered to the phone.
Luke broke the silence that followed
"You are so cute Reid. Who knew you would be such a sap."
"What" Reid turned around just as Luke put on the light. "You are here. Is everything ok"
"Yes Reid. I just missed you and came back earlier. I heard your message on the airport and decided that if you where missing me that much I might as well come over to see you instead of just call you and tell you I am back." Luke tossed his shoes in the corner and joined Reid on the bed. "Do you want me to go so you can have a good night sleep. I know you had a long week."
"Don't you dare" Reid whispered. "I seem to sleep better with you next to me. No idea why".
Luke whispered "Me to".
