Previous Chapters: Prologue/ 1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/ 10/ 11/ 12/ 13/ 14/ 15/ 16/ 1l7/ 18/ 19/ 20/ 21/ 22/ 23/ 24/ 25/ 26/ 27/ 28/ 29/ 30/ 31/ 32/ 33/ 34/ 35/ 36/ 37
Author's Note: This story starts the night that Noah finds Luke in Olde Towne and takes him home. It picks up right after Noah leaves. In my head, that makes Luke 19 and Reid 30,(using the DVD of Reid around 12 yrs old as being taped in 1990). This might end up being the dirtiest thing I've ever written. *hides* Huge thank you's to my official beta for this fic, stl29tide, and alissablue for all her EPIC research. :)
Basically, I'm hijacking the Paul/Josie/Dusty plot for my purposes. Don't know who Josie is? If you visit Dusty's Wikipedia page here, you can read up on it. I'm changing mostly just the dates for the plot, so it runs alongside Luke's plot line. I will probably AU it a lot. Also, in my fic, Dusty/Josie have known each other for a few weeks, and it was Paul's idea to call in Reid (He told Dusty that it was prove Josie was faking, but in reality he wants Reid to keep his scheme going).
Reid was still dancing with Katie when he saw that Luke was back. He watched as Luke walked to the bar where several glasses of champagne were sitting out.
Reid was moving before he realized it, trying to push around the dancing couples in his efforts to get to Luke and stop him. It took several minutes to get around everyone, people protesting as he shoved them out of the way.
By the time that Reid reached the bar, Luke was gone.
There were several empty champagne glasses in his wake.

Luke stumbled through Olde Towne, the pleasant numbness that he loved about alcohol coursing through him.
Screw Reid. Screw Noah. Screw not drinking.
Luke intended never to feel anything again.
He couldn’t handle the hurt.
“Luke, you shouldn’t be out here walking around by yourself.” Brian’s voice spoke up from behind him.
“You got that right.” Luke said, turned around and weaving a little where he stood.
“You’re drunk.”
“I am.” Luke agreed, his tone edgy. He shook his head.
“Why don’t you let me take you home so you don’t get in any more trouble?”
“Brian.” Luke whined, stomping his foot. “Stop trying to take care of me.” Brian tried to protest but Luke kept speaking. “You’re not exactly Mr. Sober yourself. I saw you at the bar.” Luke made a drinking gesture.
“So you noticed me, but you just chose to ignore me?”
“How, Brian? How can I ignore you?” Luke asked. “You marry my grandmother, you move into my home. Trust me, I would love to ignore you.” He drew out the word ‘love’ until it was several syllables. “But you’re making that impossible.” Luke turned to leave and crashed into the bench.
*
Reid hurried through Olde Towne, walking past Al’s. He caught sight of Noah inside, talking to Maddie, but didn’t see Luke anywhere. He kept going, nearly bumping into Jade.
“Dr. Oliver!” She exclaimed.
“Have you seen Luke?” He demanded.
“What? Why?”
“He’s been drinking.”
“Shit.” Jade said. She pulled on Reid’s arm and pointed to where Luke was sitting with Brian. “I didn’t know he was drunk or I would have interrupted them.”
“Well, go ahead, interrupt them.”
“Me?” She asked. “You do it.” Reid let out a laugh.
“No.”
“He needs you.” Jade told him. “He just doesn’t know it yet.” Her eyes widened at something over his shoulder and he turned around to see what she was looking at. Noah was coming out of Al’s. “Shit!” She swore again. “I’ll take care of Noah. You get Luke out of here.”
She pushed Reid in Luke’s direction and he heard her start talking to Noah. Reid walked over to Luke, moving faster as he watched Luke move closer and closer to Brian.
“Luke, what the hell are you doing?” Reid snapped. Luke’s glassy eyes met his.
“Noah doesn’t want me.” He mumbled. “You don’t want me.” Reid saw Brian’s eyes widen at that revelation, but ignored it. “So I thought I’d spend time with someone who does.”
Reid grabbed Luke by the arm and hauled him to his feet.
“Are you insane, Luke?”
“Maybe.” He giggled.
“You’re an idiot.” Reid sighed. “What do you think that was at Christmas?”
“My present?” Luke wiggled his eyebrows at Reid. “It was almost as good as the one I gave you.” He grinned.
“It was more than that and you know it.”
“Are you saying that you do want me?” Luke was grasping his shoulders now, sounding desperate.
“You really are an idiot.” Reid smiled, touching Luke’s cheek gently.
And then Luke was kissing him, and everything else faded away.
