38 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 lost in Luke’s kiss. He wrapped his arms tightly around Luke’s waist, holding him as close as possible. Luke made a little noise in the back of his throat.
A loud, angry voice permeated his fog.
“Get your damn hands off him!” Luke was ripped from his arms, and Noah’s fist was flying at his face before he could blink.
Jade screamed out in surprise, and Reid hit the ground with a groan.
“What did you just do?” Luke asked drunkenly, as Noah led him away.
“Dr. Oliver, are you okay?” Brian crouched down and handed him handkerchief. Reid gave him a wry smile as he took it, wiping at his bleeding nose.
“I’d be a lot better if people in this town would quit hitting me.”

Luke stumbled in the door of his house, Noah following behind him. He was still trying to wrap his mind around what had just happened.
One second he’d been kissing Reid and the next second Noah had been punching Reid and pulling Luke away.
Luke pulled his jacket off roughly, stumbling again as he tossed the fabric on the couch.
“Are you okay?” Noah asked, shutting the door.
“I’m fine.” Luke replied, turning around to face him. “I’m worried out you. How’s- how’s your hand?” He grabbed at Noah’s hand to look at it.
“You look kind of out of it.” Noah said, concerned. “We don’t really know anything about Dr. Oliver, except that he’s done something worth being blackmailed over. What if he spiked your drink?” He continued. “We should go to the hospital.”
“No!” Luke exclaimed, shaking his head. “Reid wouldn’t do that.” He paused, and then turned away from Noah, his hands shaking. “I’m just…shocked.”
“Yeah, so am I. I can’t believe Dr. Oliver tried to pull something like that on you.” Noah kept going. “I mean, God, was he just waiting to catch you unaware or something?”
“I should probably get some ice for your hand.” Luke said, ignoring Noah’s words and moving towards the kitchen.
“No, really, it’s fine.” Noah replied, moving around the other side of the couch. “Luke, this is all my fault.” He continued, walking toward Luke.
“Noah, don’t say that.” Luke shut his eyes. He felt awful. The guilt build up inside him and he couldn’t take it anymore.
“He seemed like such a nice guy. I mean, what happened? How did it even start? Why were you two in Olde Towne together?”
“I saw you leave with Maddie.” Luke began, wondering how he would explain this or even if he could. “I went to find you.”
“He followed you?” Luke nodded.
“When I saw him kissing you…” Noah trailed off, clenching his fist.
“Noah, that…that’s not how it actually happened.” Luke told him. Maybe it was the alcohol or maybe it was him, but he was just done. He just…couldn’t lie anymore.
“What do you mean?” Noah asked. “I saw it. He was kissing you.” Luke couldn’t put it into words, so he just looked at Noah. “Luke…he started it, right?”
Luke kept silent, watching as realization set it.
“No.” Noah muttered, looking hurt and horrified.
“Reid and I…” Luke tried to speak. “We…” He tried again.
“You and Reid?” Noah managed. “You two what?” His voice was full of emotion, his eyes holding betrayal.
“We…” Luke started. His voice cracked, and his eyes welled up. “You didn’t want anything to do with me and I was so alone, Noah. I’ve known Reid for weeks…since before Thanksgiving.” He choked out.
“What?”
“And we...”
“Did you…did you sleep with him?” Luke couldn’t say anything.
“Answer me!” Noah shouted. “Did you have sex with Reid Oliver?!”
“Yes!” Luke shouted back. “I fucked him six ways from Sunday and I liked it!” He cried. “Is that what you want to hear?”
Noah looked like he’d been punched in the stomach.
“You wouldn’t have done that.” Noah denied. “You wouldn’t have done that to us! Why, Luke?!”
“You didn’t want me.” Luke whispered, his voice thick. “He was just…there. We were broken up and I…”
“And tonight?” Noah ground out.
“I saw you leave with Maddie…and I had a couple of drinks…”
“I’ve got to get out of here.” Noah said, going toward the door and getting his coat. Luke protested, grabbing at him, and Noah whirled around. “Do not touch me!”
Noah turned, opened the door roughly, and froze. Luke’s eyes widened and he let out a gasp.
Reid was standing on the porch.
