First off, so happy when I saw you had a new story and I lovvvve the prompt. Secondly, I can honestly say I've never gotten teary reading a fic, but when Luke asked Katie for premission I found myself holding back tears. Beautiful moment. Can't wait for the next parts!

[gradgirl_07]

Thank you so much! Gypsieheart's prompt really was kind of delicious. Couldn't pass it up. Oh, thank you so much about what you said regarding Luke asking Katie's permission. It was a bit of a tense moment and I'm grateful you found it beautiful. ~Ali

So Reid is clearly gay here but Luke isn't? Okay, THAT'S interesting. :) I'm so happy to see a new story from you, I always know I'm going to enjoy it.

[gradgirl_07]

Yes, Reid is very much gay. And Luke...he won't define himself until much later in the series. Thank you so much! ~Ali

YES!!! yes, yes, yes, yes, yes!!!!! I was praying that you would be the one to take this on! I know it's going to be fantastic! Such a great start!

Like hugocabret, I teared up when Luke asked Katie's permission first and then smiled when he got a nervous flutter when she kissed him.

She pressed a gentle kiss to his cheek and Luke blushed briefly. He also felt a nervous flutter in his stomach, - a bit of anticipation. Luke felt both grateful for the feeling and then awful for thinking about Katie in that context.

I get the feeling that he's already fighting the internal battle over his sexuality. Can't wait for more of this. Will it be the same days posting?

Your prompt intrigued me back in October, but had other fics to work through--never forgot it, though. I'm so appreciative that you and hugocabret got teary-eyed. Regarding Luke's sexuality, yes, we'll go deeper, I might not have followed everything to the letter of your original prompt, but I hope you enjoy my take on it. I'll be posting Sundays/Wednesdays (too much work and other commitments to post more). Thank you for such an amazing prompt. ~Ali

[gradgirl_07]

Thank you. I can't say what Luke is labeling himself at this point. I hope you enjoy the journey. ~Ali

Yay for a new story! Luke is such a sweetheart here with katie, wanting to honor Brad. Aww!
And I like that Reid is coming to town but Noah can already see. Best of all Noah does not seem Luke's type = me doing happy dance.However, doe this mean Luke is not clear on being gay? Me= not so happy dance LOL

Looking forward to more! I have no idea what the prompt was and can be surprised ...

[gradgirl_07]

Thank you. Luke cares for Katie, that's for sure. Noah is all better, and not Luke's type. Luke hasn't defined himself, but it's Reid and Luke, how can something not happen? ~Ali
