Reid looked up from his paperwork to find Luke standing in the doorway of his office. His eyes were rimmed red, and he looked exhausted. Reid felt pretty exhausted himself. He stood up and walked over to Luke. He took his hand and led him over to the couch, sitting down and tugging Luke down beside him. They sat close, and Luke closed his eyes while Reid massaged the back of his neck. When Luke opened his eyes, they were watery, and a tear slid down his cheek. "You're a mess," Reid said, smiling softly and kissing Luke's temple.
"I'm sorry," Luke said, wiping the tear away. "I didn't mean what I said."
"I know," Reid said, stroking Luke's hair. "I told you earlier it was ok. I understand."
Luke's head fell to Reid's shoulder, and Reid wrapped his arms around him. Luke choked back tears. "I'm sorry," he said again.
"Stop apologizing," Reid said gently, rubbing Luke's shoulders and back as Luke's arm slid around his waist.
"I like you a lot," Luke said, his voice barely a whisper.
"I like you too, Mr. Snyder," Reid breathed against the side of Luke's head.
Luke sat up and wiped at his eyes. He then reached over and played with the fingers on Reid's right hand. "Reid?"
"Mmmm?" Reid answered, looking down at their hands. He enjoyed being close to Luke, and he felt the stress of the day fading slightly.
"What did you mean earlier about one not being a low number?"
"What?"
"Earlier, when I told you that Noah was the only person I've been in love with, you said that one wasn't such a low number. What did you mean?"
Reid shook his head. "I don't know. I'm tired. I was probably rambling..."
Luke leaned forward and kissed Reid softly on the lips. When he pulled back, Reid looked off to the side before his eyes returned to Luke's. He looked uncomfortable.
"Maybe you just haven't found the right person yet."
Reid swallowed and looked deep into Luke's eyes. "Maybe I have..."
"Maybe I have..." Awww <3 I love 'One's not such a low number.' It's one of my favourite quotes. Then again, almost everyting Reid says is in my favourite top umpteen ;)
