I loved the banter between Reid and Henry, well done with just a sprinkle of canon for us to enjoy...

I hate that Luke felt like an outsider with Katie, Jacob and Reid, but that's what it's like for the three of them and Luke will need to adjust and know that Reid needs more than just him in his life.

Still a little sad with Luke leaving and Katie c***blocking but such is life and he'll learn to deal.

Great Chapter Thanks!!!

Thanks so much for the comment! Yeah, the guys need each other but that's not all they need, just like you say. They have to work on that.

This is just hilarious!...
Where to begin with? My favorite lines:
Reid, however, took the pizza instead. ...
I like you, too, little man,” Reid said, taking Jacob from Katie. He held him against his chest and tapped his nose.

“Me and Luke. Luke and me. Ruke, Leid, whatever you want to call us,” Reid said before stuffing his mouth with a pizza slice.

Katie’s eyes widened. “Oh, you two are, uh, you guys are together?”

“Ding, ding, ding,” Reid said.

I really laughed to tears and then followed this - SO REID!!!:

“Is there something I don’t know about Katie, Luke? Mental illness? Psychotic tendencies?”

Thanks so much for pointing out the lines you liked. :)
I have so much fun writing Katie and the guys.

I love the fact that Reid doesn't let Luke just internalize things he makes him confront his feelings and this will be healthy for their relationship. What is not good is Jacob and Katie interrupting sexy time but it's part of being a roommate and they are adorable and Reid will have a soundboard for his problems and even Luke will have a confidant who I am very sure will be all for them to be together forever.

The Henry and Reid moments priceless, Reid is such a dick albeit a funny and adorable one who doesn't mean any harm whatsoever.

Great chapter

Yeah, and you'll see more of that in the next chapter where Reid thinks about how not cool their relationship is currently. I think Katie will definitely be a good friend to have on his side.

Glad you liked the Henry/Reid stuff.

Thanks so much for continuing to read!

I can understand Luke feeling like an outsider. I would have thought Reid would have wanted a place of his own so they could be alone together since Reid came to Oakdale to be with Luke.

Reid will have his reasons for acting like he is. But Luke doesn't know them yet. Thanks for reading!

Yeah, Reid's a genius but clueless when it comes to personal relationships--don't worry, he'll buy a clue in the next chapter. He's learning . . . slowly. But he is.

Thanks for reading!
