Katie had been watching them intently for an hour, and the longer she watched the darker the green-eyed monster became. The pair were completely in-sync with each other and had an almost magnetic pull to be close. Reid had slipped his arm to rest on the back of Luke's chair, and before he was halfway through the movement, Luke was shifting back to lean against him. They would look at each other at the same time and communicated through smirks, twitches, eyebrow raises, and Katie was pretty sure, nostril flares.

Her own nostrils flared in irritation even though she knew it was petty, because she loved them like blood. She really was ecstatic that they found each other, and couldn't fathom anyone looking at the couple and not see the love they had for each other radiate out. Like a beacon. Like a reminder...

"Come on, Katie, I'm ready to go." Chris was standing beside her with his coat already on.

"Better hurry, Katie. Everyone knows Doogie turns back into a slug at..." Reid glance at his watch and raised and eyebrow that already had Luke laughing softly. "....9pm? Jesus, Chris."

Chris threw out a vitriol filled, "Eat me, Oliver!" at Reid then turned back to her. "Come on."

Reid snorted, "Not even if you were the last man on Earth; In fact..."

He was about to cross the line, but Luke had moved a hand to rest on the back of his neck to assuage Reid from whatever diatribe he was about to set loose.

Katie did her part and stood up, smiled at the pair, and leaned forward to give them both a quick kiss. "It's okay, I'll talk to you guys later."

Reid gave her a pleading look but relented and said, "Night, Katie."

Luke parroted it back and included Chris too. She gave the pair a final wave and started to follow Chris out of the club.

When they reached the door, even though she was silently screaming at herself not to, see looked back. Reid forehead was resting against Luke temple. Luke ran his fingers threw Reid's hair and smiled serenely.

Tears prickled at her eyes. It was like a reminder of what she once had...

"Jeez, Katie, let's go!" Chris was standing by their car with the driver's door open.

...but didn't anymore.

Oh yes! Love it!! THIS is exactly how I see them "completely in-sync with each other and had an almost magnetic pull to be close". How wonderful and perfect, lucky guys.

Hugs for Katie having had it once but not now :(

Aww, poor, sad, envious Katie. Someone should tell her that dumping Chris might be a good start to finding what Luke and Reid have, even if there might not be a second Brad.

Great job!

Poor Katie, stuck with Doogie. She needs to dump his sorry self and find someone else. Good job describing Luke and Reid together--my heart melted! :)
