Fun Fic Friday!
~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 ( Read more... )
Luke was just eavesdropping on Reid trying to explain the best strategy for solving the puzzle to Ethan and Natalie, all while giving a hands-on demonstration, when Reid turned slightly and caught his eye. With a questioning glance and a tilt of his head, Reid beckoned Luke over to the couch.
He hadn’t even sat down yet when Ethan launched into an exhilarated “Luke, did you see? I can mess it up any way I want and Dr. Reid can solve it in like two minutes! Want us to show you?”
Luke’s mouth curved up even more at Ethan’s excitement. He raised an eyebrow at Reid, but he knew Reid wouldn’t back away from the challenge in any case.
“Alright, let’s see it,” Luke said as he encouraged Ethan to twist and turn the cube’s sides a little more before handing it over to Reid.
Luke really shouldn’t have been surprised when true to Ethan’s word, Reid returned the cube to its original state in what had to be record time. Luke remembered his own failed attempts at just that even in his teens and couldn’t help but be impressed. He’d have to give it a try later too, but first he informed everyone that dinner was ready. Nobody liked to keep Emma waiting after all.

A couple hours later, Luke and Reid were shuffling into their bedroom, still full from dinner and slightly exhausted from the non-stop activity the whole day had provided. Luke fell onto the bed, his mind still whirring despite his tiredness.
“Hey, you okay?” Reid’s voice came from the bathroom.
“Yeah, why?”
“I don’t know, it just looks like something’s on your mind.”
“Well yeah, but that’s par for the course after a visit to the farm.”
“I know, but there wasn’t any major drama tonight, was there?” Reid walked over to the bed as he continued, “It’s not about me spending time with Ethan and Natalie, is it?”
“Reid, no! No! I love that you’re spending time with my siblings, and they obviously adore you,” Luke was quick to assure.
“Really? Well, who knew that cake would be the gateway drug to bonding with your siblings, huh? But still, I’m sorry I took up so much of their time and left you all alone with the adults.”
Luke leaned over and took a hold of Reid’s wrist. He pulled Reid down on the bed with him and looked him in the eyes. “Seriously, it’s fine. I’m really happy that you get along so well with them. And honestly, you would’ve just rolled your eyes at my mom’s antics.”
“Okay…but aside from that, everything’s fine? You looked pretty bummed out when Ethan didn’t pay too much attention to your gift.”
Luke sighed. “I might have been a little envious that your gift was such a hit, but I know he’ll probably appreciate mine later on too. It was just kind of a letdown.”
Reid put an arm around Luke’s shoulder and pressed a kiss to his temple. “I’m sorry. But I bet you he won’t stop gushing about it once he realizes the story you wrote him actually has him and all his friends in it.”
“Mmm, you’re probably right,” Luke’s mood brightened. “I am still jealous of your mad Rubik’s cube skills though,” he grinned.
“But why? It’s really easy. See, you just have to-“
Luke put a finger on Reid’s lips. “Reid? Shut up.” He finally leaned in for a kiss.
Thanks as always, thefigtree

Heh, I saw and instantly thought of Reid. ;)

He so would. He's probably almost as good at it as he is at chess. ;)

I can see Reid sort of gravitating towards the kids when he realizes that'll save him from interacting with the crazy adults. ;) ... and he'd probably like it too. :D
