"What's his vision matter compared to your confused little feelings."

Apparently a day or so has passed; Luke comes into Noah's hospital room and asks if there have been any changes. Noah tells him that he can see light and dark and some colors, but that shapes are mostly blurry. Hey, Noah? I believe the word you were looking for there was "No

Noah then goes on to say that he finally has something positive in his life... because, you know, having Luke in love with him and willing to do anything for him? That couldn't possibly count as something positive!

This will never not be, imo, the most fucked up comment that Noah has ever made. I mean, wow. What a bitch-slap to Luke. I kind of suck in my breath when I hear it every time. It's shockingly insensitive.

Luke flashes back to the Face Stroke of Epic TendernessTM, then proceeds to evade Noah's question, claiming he doesn't remember.

I really wonder how that scene ended. I mean, did they kiss again, and then Reid walked out? Or did Reid just do the Face Stroke of Epic Tenderness, and then make some cutting remark and walk out? Because time didn't just stop there and then they started up again in different rooms like television editing makes it seem. I feel like we lost a kind of important interaction in not seeing how they separated in that scene.

Naturally, he assumes Luke must be to blame and tells Luke to go and

"I mean, did they kiss again, and then Reid walked out? "

Of course they kissed again! Duh. ;-)

I think there are something like 157 kisses on the editing room floor...or maybe they're just in my head... :) There are so many scenes like this, where they just end, and then they pick up later, like the scene never happened or that it has no relevance...frustrating...

" I think there is the possibility that a large part of him that is freaked out by how he feels wants to push Luke back to Noah, and just get this whole torturous ordeal over with. " -- I completely agree with this interpretation.

Not just in your head. I completely agree with this. They had a huge make out session right there. The editing garbage got worse throughout the summer. Fortunately you have fixed most of this with your fan fic.

I think they did, mainly because when Reid is asking what, exactly, Luke wants to tell Noah, he says "That we kissed a few times...." If we go strictly by what we saw on the screen, they've only kissed twice by this point, and only once that Luke participated in. Plus, I just really like thinking that they have sneaked in a few more kisses besides the ones we got to see. :D

Personally, I think they hit the fifth floor supply closet by Reid's office daily... :-P

OMG, you read my mind! I totally got the same impression from that line, too.

I know! I think they totally kissed. When they argue over whether to tell Noah, Reid says that they "kissed a few times and even almost had sex" on the day of Noah's surgery. A few = more than two, and from the way he words that, it seems like he's referring to kissing that didn't occur on surgery day, and then what happened on surgery day. Besides, the way Luke says that Noah almost saw what happened between them makes it seem like it was more than cheek cupping, IMO. Mostly, I just don't buy that either Luke or Reid would walk away after what we saw like nothing happened!
