~Fun Fic Friday~ 
TGIF! It’s the day before the weekend, and what better way to close out a long week than with a fun dose of ficlets and drabbles of Luke, Reid, or Luke & Reid? Or how about some amazing icons or graphics of the guys? (Don't be fooled by the name - Fun (Graph)Fic Friday just didn't have the same ring to it.) Here’s your chance to

Kevin and Reid Outside a Gay Bar

[nancygrew]

Reid was about a half a block away from The Electric Banana when he saw Kevin leaning against a wall looking absolutely defeated.

“What’s going on?” asked Reid with a very slight amount of concern.

“I’m contemplating the fact that as a non-heterosexual, I’m a complete spazz,” said Kevin. “I want to go back to heterosexuality now, please.”

“Ah, back when you were an asshole with a drinking problem,” nodded Reid.

Kevin scrubbed his hands over his face. “So far this evening, I’ve put my foot in my mouth with every guy I’ve talked to, stepped on the toes of every guy I’ve danced with, and spilled about a half-dozen drinks.”

Reid huffed a laugh. “Well, where’s your gayness tutor? Isn’t he supposed to be assisting you with your grand exodus from the closet?”

“Oh, he’s inside being the belle of the ball. You don’t have to be jealous, though. I don’t mean that he’s hitting on anyone. Heck, he’s not even flirting with anyone,” said Kevin.

“Luke’s not exactly the unfaithful type,” assured an amused Reid.

“You sound pretty secure for someone who has driven all the way into Chicago after a long day at work to hunt down his boyfriend,” sniffed Kevin.

“He’s been texting me every hour tonight and suggesting that I join you guys when I finished. I outgrew the gay bar thing a long time ago but Luke’s pretty, so . . .”

Kevin gave a crooked grin. “He’s been really great tonight. He’s made a point of taking me to a lot of different types of places so I can see where I feel comfortable. So far, I haven’t been comfortable anywhere. Luke, though? He’s made friends with everybody from Leather Daddies to Twinks to Bears.”

“Luke actually likes people,” said a bewildered Reid. “He admires their strengths and accepts their weaknesses and enjoys their quirks. Other than that he’s not too annoying.”

“Since you’re here, maybe I’ll ask to borrow Luke’s car so I can go home and the two of you can hang out,” suggested Kevin.

“Giving up already?” needled Reid. “You know, it’s not like you have to figure out the whole ‘How am I going to live my life as a non-heterosexual’ thing immediately.”

“It’s not giving up so much as beating a strategic retreat,” bluffed Kevin.

“Come on, you big loser,” said Reid. “We’ll go grab Luke and try a few more places until we find one that has a vibe you’re comfortable with.”

Kevin nodded dejectedly and followed Reid to the club.

Yay, a sequel!

“Luke actually likes people,” said a bewildered Reid. “He admires their strengths and accepts their weaknesses and enjoys their quirks. Other than that he’s not too annoying.”

That's like, the highest compliment Reid will ever give anyone. ;)

Hmm, maybe Kevin will run into Richard in one of those other places - I hear he's on the market again. :D

I believe "You're not too annoying" will be in their wedding vows.

Thanks for reading!

Well, if this doesn't scream ficlet, I don't know what does. :D
(Sorry, I'm greedy that way!)

Sequel! *claps*

“I want to go back to heterosexuality now, please.”
Ha ha, I'm sure he does.

I like that Reid, in his own way, is assuring Kevin that he'll be all right. Loved this!

Reid's the kindest rude jerk ever!

Thanks for the compliment!

Thanks so much for the lovely and encouraging feedback. The writers did such a great job in creating a love interest for Luke who is completely different from yet compatible with Luke.

I am glad you wrote a sequel! Poor Kevin. He is lucky to have Luke as a friend, and Reid seems to be warming up to him.

Re: Kevin and Reid Outside a Gay Bar

[nancygrew]

Yeah, poor Reid just keeps forming relationships with people against his will.

Thanks for reading and commenting!

I think he has a lifetime of that to look forward to. He can't help but make an effort for Luke.
