“Luke, we can’t.” Reid insisted, and Luke pulled away with a sigh.
“Reid.”
“No.” He said it more firmly.
“You don’t…want me?” Luke finally managed to say. He was at odds with himself, unsure what to do next. He climbed off Reid’s lap and back away, looking for his shirt.
“Luke, it’s not that and you know it.” Reid told him, as Luke found his shirt and put it back on.
“I shouldn’t have…I’m sorry.” Luke mumbled. He started to leave the room, intending to go in the bedroom, and fall asleep.
Reid grabbed his arm.
“Luke, damn it, will you listen to me?” He exclaimed.
“I got it, Reid. It won’t happen again.”
“Luke, look at me.” Reid practically demanded. Luke slowly let his eyes drift upward.
How could he be so stupid?
Of course Reid didn’t want him.
Just one more thing that Luke had gotten wrong.
“I want you.” He said, when Luke finally looked him in the eye. “You have no idea.”
“Then why…”
“Luke, you had a really bad day, and you came really close to drinking.”
“I know that.”
“And the last thing you need is sex getting in the way of your recovery.” Reid brushed Luke’s hair out of his eyes. “You have to get better for you. As happy as I am that you didn’t drink because of me today, it doesn’t matter at all unless you do it because you want to get better.”
“Have you been reading magazines in your dentist office again?” Luke joked weakly, earning a chuckle from Reid.
“You know what I mean.” Luke nodded. He did know. He’d done this before.
“I’ve been kind of a brat, haven’t I?” Luke asked. Reid smirked a little.
“It’s understandable.”
“It stops now.” Luke promised. “You’re right. What’s the point of this if I don’t want it for myself? In a few months I’ll be right back here, or in a rehab.”
“Or dead.” Reid added quietly.
“Yeah.” He paused. “Reid? This whole ‘no sex’ thing…”
“What about it?”
“Where do you stand on kissing?”
*
Reid couldn’t remember the last time he’d just made out with a guy. He wasn’t sure he’d ever done just that.
Luke had come out of the shower, smelling of soap and Luke, and looking a hundred times better than when Reid had come home.
So Reid had pulled Luke onto the bed and proceeded to kiss him senseless.
Forty-five minutes later, they were still kissing.
“I never should have pushed you away.” Reid murmured in Luke’s ear.
“What are you talking about?” Luke replied, holding Reid’s face in his hands, looking him in the eye. Reid sighed.
“Before Christmas.”
“You mean, that period of time where you were being a jerk.”
“Yes, smart ass.” Luke grinned at him, and Reid rolled his eyes. “I shouldn’t have done that. Maybe then New Year’s Eve would have gone differently.”
“You don’t know that. I made my own choices.”
“I didn’t help. I should have been honest with you.”
“Honest about what?” Luke’s voice was soft.
“You terrify me.” Luke let out a laugh and Reid glared. “The way you make me feel, it scares the fuck out of me, and I couldn’t handle it.”
“Reid…” Luke touched his face, smiling. “Are you plannin’ on fallin’ in love with me, Dr. Oliver?”
“It’s not something you plan.” Reid answered. “It just…happens and you’re powerless to stop it.” He made a choking sound in his throat. “Listen to me. I’ve never been powerless.”
“Aww, are you okay?” Reid nodded slowly.
“You?” He whispered.
“Uh huh.” Luke said. “But I’d be a lot better if you’d kiss me again.”
Reid pressed a gentle kiss to his lips and then pulled back.
“I have to ask you something. It’s been bugging me.”
“Ask me what?”
“Luciano?”
