Fun fic Friday. The resident patient
The resident patient.
After the third time a colleague referred to his boyfriend as our resident patient Reid decided he needed to learn a bit more about the medical history of Luke Snyder.
Because Luke always answered his questions honestly but downplaying the seriousness of the situation he decided to use his hospital clearance to read the official medical file. After two hours of reading he was regretting his decision.
It was easy listening to Luke explaining that he had a big fall after which he could not walk for a couple of months.
It was a lot harder reading how close Luke came to not being able to ever walk again.
Luke had been upfront about his alcoholism and kidney troubles. But to actually read that Luke nearly died because they could not find a donor kidney and to read how he nearly got another kidney infection because of a time where he was drinking again was terrifying.
And there where just so many times that Luke had to be in the hospital. It was hard to believe he had gone trough so much and still be the optimistic young man he knew today.
That night it took him a long time to fall asleep.
The next morning was his day off. He usually woke up on the early side without an alarm but now he woke up from his phone ringing. He looked at his alarm while picking up. Half past ten. Damn.
As he expected it was Luke. So after Reid his "Hi". The talking started. " Hi Reid. I am sorry to disturb you. We had plans and I am at your door but I don't think anyone is home. Since there was no answer. Have you been called into the hospital. Because that is ok. I just wanted to know.
Reid..... Are you there."
"Hold on. I'm coming." Reid put on some boxers and went to open the door. He pulled a surprised Luke in by giving him a big hug and kicking the door closed. "I'll be right back. I just need to get ready."
10 minutes later. Reid returned seeing Luke playing on his phone. When he noticed Reid was back he threw him that warm smile and tossed his phone aside.
"Reid, Are you ok ?. Did I wake you. I am so sorry. If you want I could come back later. Did you have an emergency tonight".
Reid walked over to his chatty boyfriend and sat next to him. "To much talking before I had coffee Luke. Just give me a second. Then we can go out for breakfast and coffee.
Luke stood up after giving him a soft kiss. "Just lay down Reid." As he pushed him down on the couch. "I can make us some breakfast and coffee here." Reid happily said thanks to his understanding boyfriend.
Reid was enjoying the view from the couch. Luke making orange juice, softly singing while making scrambled eggs. He loved being domestic with Luke. So he got up and joined Luke in the kitchen. Setting the table and looking for reasons to bump into Luke his fine ass.
After Reid drank his coffee and ate half of his breakfast Luke was ready to talk again.
"So what happened Reid. Did you get called in last night ? You could have texted me so you could get some sleep. That is what you usually do."
Reid placed his cutlery down and looked up at Luke. Not sure how Luke would react to his snooping. But they where always honest to each other, so he had to tell him".
"I met with doctor Barker about a patient yesterday. And he made a comment about dating memorial's resident patient. He was the third colleague to call you that. I got curious. You have shared a lot of your medical past with me, but I wanted to know how they got to call you the resident patient."
"Not because it would matter how often you where admitted as a patient. But I was starting to get nervous. I should have asked you if I could read your file before I read it. I am sorry. I was planing to take a peek to see that they where being stupid about your patient status. But from the first page I got so surprised that I could not close the file again. I knew you have been trough a lot, but damn Luke. There are soap characters who had a much easier live than you. I spent all night dreaming you where in different accidents and hospital beds. I could not sleep quickly after those."
Luke looked up at Reid. "So you looked up private information about me from the day I was born until now. Even tough you could have just asked me. Knowing full well that I would tell you everything or say you could read my file."
Reid shrugged his shoulders.
"You did not even want to tell me what your favourite food is." Luke said.
"Hé that is not fair I honestly could not choose. But are you angry at me Luke."
"Not really actually. I am desperately trying to learn more about you to. Bit by bit. You are not very chatty. But I am a bit worried that learning all of my medical history at once has you freaked out about being with me. Do you feel like running to the hills now." Luke softly kicked Reid his feet under the table.
Reid let out a rolling laughter. "Luke. I do not care about your past history. But please check both sides, before you cross the street, never forget your meds and just stay safe. I want to be with you. Today, tomorrow and any day after that. Today I think You need a day of rest in my bed. Katie will be out till eight. So I can check your temperature without you having to be quiet. And as long as you are with me I will keep you safe."
Luke had a big smile on his face. "You're the best". He stood up to clear the table. Reid followed him with the plates. "By the way Luke. How often have you been kidnapped?"
Luke took the plates out of his hands placed them in the sink. He pulled Reid in his arms and gave him a intimate kiss. "Maybe next week. I am late for my doctor appointment."
