Disclaimer: I do not own these boys, gosh darnit.
Summary: Luke and Reid hit a bump in the road on a day that should be full of happiness.
Notes: I'm just zipping through these tonight xD lol. Chapter 4 is on the way. <3
Luke should have realized right away that Reid was being far too calm, especially compared to his small tantrum earlier in the afternoon. When it came time for food Reid of course was one of the first people to stand up, even cutting off Luke in line to get to the food first.
"I see how it is," Luke grinned. Reid looked at him questioningly. "Once again choosing food over me. I should have known," he said with a fake sigh.
Reid shrugged. "You don't actually think I spend so much time here for you, do you?"
Luke laughed. "Oh trust me, I figured out that you were just after Emma's cooking a long time ago."
"Smart man," Reid said with a flashy smile before piling more food onto his plate.
By 4 o'clock the dancing had begun. Lily and Holden of course kicked things off. Jack and Carly were the next to step onto the floor, followed by Aaron and Marnie. One by one more and more couples stepped up to dance. Luke and Reid were not one of those couples. Luke wasn't disappointed, he hadn't even considered dancing. Reid didn't dance.
Natalie wandered over a few songs in and asked Luke to dance with her. Reid laughed at the thought, but Luke just crinkled his nose at him, walking his younger sister out onto the dance floor. A few minutes later, Katie wandered over to Reid's table.
"Care to dance?" she said with a smile.
"I don't think Doogie would approve," Reid said simply. "Where is your boy toy anyway?"
"My fiancé is talking to his brother at the moment. And he might, but I think I'm entitled to dance with my former room mate if I want to," said Katie.
"Luke would get jealous," he said matter-of-factly. Katie knew that she could keep trying, but Reid wasn't going to budge. She gave in, taking a seat beside him and watching the dance floor.
"So, feeling any better?" asked Katie.
"Better?" Reid repeated.
"You know, compared to earlier. I saw Luke go after you."
Reid hesitated. "Yeah, well, not much was accomplished," he sighed. Katie frowned.
"Wow. No witty comeback," she noted. "This Noah thing is really bothering you, isn't it?"
Reid turned to her quickly, taken aback. "I'm not jealous, Katie," he declared. Katie clearly didn't believe him. "I'm not," he repeated firmly.
"Then why did you flip out the moment he got here?" she asked.
"I," Reid stuttered, "I don't know. I just wasn't expecting it I guess."
"You should talk to Luke, you know. He loves you. Noah being here isn't going to change that."
Reid frowned, casting his eyes onto the dance floor. Luke was spinning his small sister around. Noah was standing with them. They each took one of Natalie's arms and began to swing her, laughing in unison. Reid could feel his face begin with burn. Katie put a hand on Reid's shoulder, but he didn't notice.
