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... )
Lily was obviously flustered.
“I don’t understand,” she said while fluttering her hands.
“What doncha understand, Lil?” asked Reid. “Are you having trouble computing how I can be this good looking and yet remain so modest?”
Lily hurriedly removed an envelope from her purse and thrust it at Reid. “Explain yourself.”
Reid spoke very slowly. “It’s an invitation. To Luke’s surprise birthday party. You show up. You eat. You give him a present. Preferably a present that he’ll insist on sharing with me.”
“What are you doing arranging a birthday party for Luke?” asked Lily stomping her foot.
Reid wondered what faux pas he could possibly have committed. Did Luke not celebrate his birthday for some reason? Was he secretly a Jehovah’s Witness? Were there such things as secret Jehovah’s Witnesses?
“His birthday is coming up and I wanted to do something thoughtful for him. He likes people so I thought I’d have a party for him.”
“But that’s my job,” exclaimed Lily. “I’m his mother.”
“Well, I’m his boyfriend. Since I do things involving his penis, I outrank you,” sneered Reid.
“Mothers outrank penises, you Neanderthal,” screeched Lily. She didn’t seem to notice that there were people in the hospital hallway who suddenly stopped walking. Reid glared at the Nosy Nellies until they hurried away.
“Well, that helps explains why you’ve gone through so many marriages,” began Reid.
Lily hauled off and punched Reid in the arm. The woman had some serious guns and packed a wallop.
“I know I’m not good at the social interaction thing but I’m pretty sure you’re supposed to be happy that your son’s boyfriend is fighting against his own nature in an attempt to be . . . considerate.” Reid rubbed his arm.
Lily crossed her arms. “You could have at least talked to me about it.”
“I don’t want to set any precedents but . . . if I’ve somehow managed to hurt your feelings, then I guess I’m sort of sorry,” said Reid. “But I am his significant other, as much as I hate that phrase, so I’m in my rights to throw Luke a stupid party. Even if I suck at it, he’ll appreciate the effort.”
Lily bit her lip. “Okay. Maybe I’ve overreacted. You are within your rights and I understand that you’re doing what you feel would make Luke happy.”
“Thank you,” said Reid cautiously.
“But why in the world are you having the surprise party at Al’s Diner instead of at the Mona Lisa? Luke deserves someplace fancy.”
“Ethan doesn’t like all the fancy stuff at the Mona Lisa. Luke would hate it if Ethan didn’t have a good time at the party,” explained Reid. “Plus, Lucinda loves the milkshakes, Faith loves the goulash, and Natalie loves the cupcakes at Al’s.”
Lily huffed. “Well, have you picked out the music for the party yet?”
“Yeah, he’s going through this R & B phase so it’s gonna be Bill Withers, Al Green, Marvin Gaye.”
“He’s going through an R & B phase?” asked Lily who seemed mightily disturbed that she wasn’t in the loop for Luke’s current musical preferences.
“Would it make you happy if I let you pick out party favors to give out to the guests?” asked Reid desperately searching for a way out of this conversation with Luke’s insanely jealous mother.
“Yes!” cried Lily. “I’d love to.”
“Do you want to choose them together as a bonding ritual to show that we both love your precious little baby boy or do you want carte blanche to do whatever your little neurotic heart desires?”
Lily tapped her hand against her leg. “Would it hurt your feelings if we put off bonding for right now and I just chose the favors?”
“Whatever gets me out of this insane conversation,” said Reid. “Go forth and choose party favors.”
Lily began to stride off. She suddenly stopped, turned around and walked back to a flinching Reid. She kissed him on the cheek and barely laughed at all when it made Reid jump.
“It was thoughtful of you to think of a party for Luke even though you hate socializing. You were right that he’d like a party. You did a good job. And I’ll try to do a better job at sharing him.”
Lily left. Reid figured that he’d never understand people. They were all freaks.

It's so like Lily to be jealous that she doesn't get to do it :P

I figure Lily would stop being shocked by Reid's rudeness pretty quickly.
