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... )
Hero
Luke watched Reid from across the lobby as John Dixon walked away from him. Reid looked sweaty and exhausted. Luke watched him run a hand through his hair and then massage the back of his own neck. And then as if he felt Luke there, Reid turned his head toward him. A small, fleeting smile graced his lips, and then he was walking toward Luke. When he reached him, he gently tugged Luke by the inside of his elbow and then slotted their fingers together. They walked silently down the hall, holding hands, away from the lobby, and straight to Reid's office. As soon as they were inside, Reid pulled Luke to him and wrapped his arms around him, his face tucked into the side of Luke's neck. Luke hugged him back, one hand rubbing circles on Reid's back and shoulders, the other arm wrapped around his waist. They didn't say anything for a few mintues and simply held each other.
After awhile, Reid pulled back and wiped at his eyes. He then gently slapped the side of Luke's face and rolled his eyes at himself. "You okay?" Luke asked, kissing Reid's lips softly. Reid nodded, but then he pressed his forehead to Luke's and closed his eyes because it had been an endlessly long day, and everything felt much too close to the surface. "It's okay," Luke said softly. "I've got you, okay? I promise. You're safe with me..." Reid heard his own breath hitch as he tried to steel his emotions. "And Reid?..."
"Mmm," Reid answered, his eyes still closed, his hands on Luke's hips.
"I love you too." Reid pulled back and looked at Luke. Luke looked down, avoiding Reid's eyes. "I didn't answer you earlier...ya know, outside..............in the parking lot......But I do. I love you, Reid."
Reid nodded and finally spoke. "I know." It wasn't said with his usual cockiness; he didn't say it to appear self-assured. It simply was a fact. He knew Luke loved him, felt it in his core. He put his finger under Luke's chin, and brought his eyes up to his own. "I know," he repeated. "And I love you..." He kissed Luke.
Luke smiled against Reid's lips. "I know," he said, echoing Reid's words.
Reid tried to smile, but it just wasn't there. He let out a shakey breath and blinked away the emotion that was threatening his eyes again. "I need to go see Katie," Reid said softly.
"Of course. Absolutely," Luke said, rubbing Reid's arms.
"And I want to go pick up Jacob...take him home. Let him sleep in his own bed."
"Sure," Luke said, nodding. "Of course. Whatever you need..."
Reid stepped back, out of Luke's embrace and scratched his head. "I'm so fucking tired."
"That's because you've been slaying dragons all day," Luke replied, smiling. "My hero," he joked, but then the smile left his face because he meant it. "My hero," he repeated, barely a whisper.
Reid rolled his eyes and shook his head but then pulled Luke into his arms again. "Stay with me tonight," he said softly, his lips moving with the words against Luke's ear. "Fall asleep with me..."
Luke's answer was simple and absolutely clear: "Yes."

And this was very sweet! Poor Reid, being a hero can be exhausting - but Luke makes everything all better. :)
