They’d just finished dinner and were sharing dishwashing duty, as they often did, since neither liked to do this particular chore. They compromised by always washing dishes together.
“Hmm?” Luke murmured as he scrubbed another plate.
“Our fifth anniversary.”
Luke exaggeratedly pretended to drop the plate in the sink. He looked over at Reid with a sly grin. “Wow, you remember.”
Reid narrowed his eyes. “I always do.”
Luke bumped his left shoulder against Reid’s right and laughed. “I know, but I do enjoy teasing you.”
“Whatever,” Reid said, rinsing the plate under the faucet. “Anyway, since it’s been five long years since you roped me into this relationship, I-”
Luke stopped scrubbing. “Excuse me? I wasn’t the one who developed the somewhat inappropriate crush on a certain somebody the second or third time I laid eyes on him.”
“I knew I never should’ve told you that,” Reid muttered.
Luke laughed. “Sorry, can’t help myself sometimes. You were saying?”
Reid shook his head. “Forget it. I’m not telling you anything anymore.”
Luke faced Reid. “Okay, okay, I’m sorry. What were you going to say?”
Reid continued rinsing. Luke leaned closer to Reid. “Reid?” he whispered softly. “Please?” Luke begged with his eyes and a small smile on his face.
Even after five years of dating, four of living together, and many days spent learning everything about each other, Luke’s eyes still affected Reid as they had the first few days of meeting him. He couldn’t ignore them or him.
Reid huffed and then looked at Luke with a smile. “I was thinking that we should do something big-really big-for our anniversary.”
Luke’s eyes lit up. “We should go to New York! Or Paris!”
“We just went to both those places last year, Luke. I, um, I’m thinking something bigger.”
“Let’s get a dog. Or cat!”
Reid quickly shook his head. “No, definitely not. You know how I feel about creatures. Besides, you’re already a handful as it is. I cannot take care of someone or something else.”
Luke sprinkled water on him. “Very funny. So what do you have in mind?”
“I was thinking that-”
“A cruise!” Luke shouted. He turned back to the sink and resumed washing dishes. “We’ve been on one before, I know, but maybe we can invite our friends and make it a couples’ vacation with Casey, Alison, Chris and Katie, Tim and Leslie.”
“Uh, Luke-”
“Or we could make it a family thing-my folks, Natalie, Ethan. I’m sure Faith will want to come, too. These last four years away from home have made her appreciate our family even more.”
Reid slowly dried the glasses and cups. “I’m thinking something more significant.”
“Like what?” Luke asked, his excitement waning since Reid vetoed his suggestions.
“I think I want to marry you.”
This time, Luke really dropped the plate, which didn’t break, thankfully. “What?”
“What do you think?” Reid asked as he dried his hands on the dish towel and faced Luke.
Luke swallowed audibly. “I thought, um, I mean, we haven’t-you haven’t, uh, we’ve never talked about that.
“We’ve discussed it before.”
“No, you’ve mocked it before. A lot. You said marriage was silly, impractical and-”
“Maybe not so bad,” Reid interrupted him with a smile, “if it’s with you.”
Luke dried his hands on his jeans and took Reid’s hands in his. “I don’t need this, you know. What we have is enough. More than,” he said sincerely.
“I know and I feel the same way."
“So?”
“So I want to marry you.”
“And be legally bonded to me forever?”
Reid snorted. “Well, for the next fifty to sixty years, at least, depending on which one of us goes first.”
Luke shook his head. “No way, if we do this, it’s gonna be forever and ever. I’ll find you on the other side, you know.”
“Not if I find you first,” Reid said, grinning.
Luke stared at Reid before asking, “You sure?”
“We’ve been through too much together for me not to be sure that I need you, that I’ll always need you,” Reid said, looking down at their joined hands.
Luke released his 1000-watt smile as he tilted Reid’s face to his. “Yes, Reid Oliver, I’ll marry you.”
Reid nodded. “Okay.” He released Luke’s hands. “Now let’s finish these dishes, shall will?”
“Let’s,” Luke said as they continued washing.

I love how Luke is rambling on and on the whole time Reid is trying to tell him something, and then when he's supposed to talk, all he can manage is:
Luke swallowed audibly. “I thought, um, I mean, we haven’t-you haven’t, uh, we’ve never talked about that. LOL

Later that night, Luke stood in the bathroom doorway and looked at Reid, his fiance. Luke grinned as his mind uttered that word.
"Reid?"
Reid rinsed his mouth and dried it. "Yeah?"
"Since you didn't get me a ring, could you get me something else instead?"
Reid walked toward Luke. "I'm giving you myself for forever. Isn't that enough?"
"Reid, come on. I'm your fiance now. You gotta please me."
Reid lifted an eyebrow. "So is that how this marriage is going to work? Because it's not too late . . . "
Luke playfully slapped him. "Don't get cute. And you know that's how things are right now and always have been. You have to make me happy."
Reid wrapped his arms around Luke's waist. "Okay, what will make you happy?"
"A pet."
Reid shook his head.
"Not a cat or dog. I want a pig--a miniature pig. It's so tiny and cute, Reid."
Reid snorted and Luke laughed.
"Please?" Luke's eyes pleaded.
Reid shut his own eyes. "No, not the eyes."
"Reid, just consider it."
"I know about those. They're genetically produced for research. I've dissected ten or so if I recall correctly . . . for experiments, of course."
"What?"
Reid nodded. "Oh, you didn't know that?" He looked up thoughtfully. "You know, maybe we should get one. I can have Ethan perform his first dissection. Isn't he studying that in school?"
Luke punched Reid's arm. "You pig!"
Reid pushed Luke back until they fell on the bed. "How about I just get you a ring?"
"Silver?"
"Yes."
"With an inscription?"
"Yes."
"A corny, cheesy, romantic one?"
"Yes, yes and yes."
Luke kissed Reid. "Okay."
