"listen to me ... i've never been powerless." 08/26/10 picspam! (part two)

[amelialourdes]

Chris: Why'd you tell your boyfriend about me?
Reid: He did what now?

- Reid's concern for Katie in this scene to Chris made my heart twitch. He mentioned Brad's death and how he hears her crying herself to sleep at night. He doesn't want that to happen to her again. But, he's leaving it up to Chris to tell her because he's the one who should tell her.

Reid: You need a reality check, pal.

Ding, dong! Your boyfriend's here.

Luke: Oh, shit. He's already here. I thought I'd beat him here since we almost left at the same time.

---

Reid: Oh, you told him did you?
Luke: Yeah, I did. Forgive me?
Reid: Yeah, I do. Let's make out.

Reid and Luke: A united front.

Luke: You put Reid in a really terrible position by insisting he keep quiet about this.

- Body language, guys. Body language. They're standing next to each other as a couple in solidarity and in support of one another. Reid's standing right there and Luke's defending him and Reid's allowing it. There's no objection by Reid, nothing about him that says "I have a problem with you telling Chris". Instead, he's focused on Chris and upset for Katie. I also like the silent concern for Chris by Luke who stands there and nods when he agrees with Reid. MARRIED.

- Also, I like Luke's big, huge smile when he says 'hi' to Katie.

Reid: If I ever doubted the downside of love, I'm seeing it now. This whole people caring about people business, it's insane. It's no wonder I've tried to avoid it.
Luke: Well, it has its good points too.

---

Reid: No, no way. I'm not willing to invest so much to get so little in return. I want the whole enchilada, you hear me?
Luke: Meaning?
Reid: Meaning you better take care of that kidney of yours. If I'm going to put myself out there, fall in love with you, I'm not going to lose you. Do you hear me?
Luke: You planning on falling in love with me?

WHERE DO WE EVEN START WITH THIS SCENE? WHERE I ASK YOU?

- No wonder Reid's "tried" to avoid it. But, he doesn't avoid it anymore because it's happened to him. There is no avoiding. It's happened. The end.
- Reid wants the whole enchilada with Luke (double entendre), everything with Luke, and that thought is awesome.
- KIDNEY TALK. THEY'VE ALREADY TALKED ABOUT IT. HOW'D HE FIND OUT? HOW'D LUKE TELL HIM? SHOULD WE DECIDE OUR CANON? HOW DID IT GO?
- I can imagine a very, very fierce Reid if anything ever happened to Luke.

MARRIED.

LOOK HOW IT HITS HIM THAT HE'S IN LOVE WITH LUKE. HITS HIM.

Reid: No, of course not. I'm not planning on -- no, it's not something you plan on. It just, it happens. You're powerless to stop it. It -- oh god, listen to me. I've never been powerless. I've always been in complete control of everything in my life.
Luke: Aww, you okay?
Reid: You?
Luke: Mhmm.

- No, Reid's not "planning" on falling in love. Already happened, damnit! It happens and it's happened to him and that's when he has that realization. He says that he's never been powerless, always in control but now? Now that he's in love? He's no longer in control and it freaks him out for about half a second.

- MARRIED.

- Luke teases him which is fucking adorable and says in a way that means, "Aww, you okay now that you're powerless and have fallen in love with me?" Reid is okay and Luke is okay and blissfully happy when he's with Reid. Look at that smile on his face! How do you misinterpret that to be anything but what it is?
- Look at them. Look how happy they are! Problems just fade away and disappear when they look at each other, Reid looks at Luke, and looks at Luke's lips and we all know where this is going.

- MARRIED.

- PLEASE CLICK ON THE PHOTOGRAPH FOR A BIGGER VERSION OF THIS PICTURE AND OBSERVE HOW DISTURBINGLY HOT THEY ARE TOGETHER. GO ON. GO AHEAD.
- Guys, sweet lord. We have chin touching, we have Luke smiling into the first kiss, and then things turn serious pretty quickly. The smile's gone and then we have full making out. Luke's hand is in Reid's hair (which seems to be his favorite place), Reid's hand on Luke's cheek (also his favorite place), and then falling on to the couch together.

- Here's Luke scooting back against the couch and Reid's starting to follow him without taking his mouth off of him and then ...

- Is that Reid's cock or are you just happy to see me?
- Oh, baby toy.
- DON'T BE A COCKBLOCK, JACOB.

- Well, it's okay. Despite being alone in the apartment, having an empty bed, and a door for privacy ... it's not the right time.
- Reid thinks that Luke likes candles and music (and he says music in a really ridiculously sexy way) but we're informed that all Luke needs is a bed and some privacy. Reid likes this and so. do. we.
- It's okay that they stop because Reid has work and they want to take their time. Well, Reid said that they don't want to be rushed. THEY DON'T WANT TO BE RUSHED. REID NEEDS TO TAKE HIS TIME DOING EVERYTHING TO LUKE.
- Then unintentionally sexy words are spoken: "To be continued?" asks Reid. "To be continued," says Luke.
- They smile at each other all goofy and happy and Luke ducks his head in the end and Reid finds that adorable. He does.

Luke has decided not to work today so he can follow his hot boyfriend around.

Reid: My rounds shouldn't take very long. You wanna stick around? Grab a bite?
Luke: Only if you're paying.
Reid: You're the big shot donor with the big pockets.
Luke: Yeah and you're the candidate for chief of staff that needs my vote.
Reid: *laughs* Meet you in the waiting area?

- How did that conversation go from the apartment to the hospital? I'm curious. Why did Luke go with Reid to the hospital? I need answers in the form of fanfic, stat!
- They're joking around with each other, playing around with each other, and this is the most stable couple on this show. Why can't TPTB see that?
- ALSO, LET US OBSERVE HOW LUKE TOTALLY CHECKS OUT HIS BOYFRIEND AS HE WALKS AWAY. TOTAL UP AND DOWN EYE MOVEMENT. HE WANTS HIM. OH YEAH.

Katie: Life of a doctor, huh?
Luke: Yeah.
Katie: You know what that's like now. Never know when they're gonna get called away. One of our guys is going to be chief of staff soon.

---

Katie: But if what you have is special then it's worth it, right?
Luke: I know.
Nurse: Mr. Snyder, Dr. Oliver is in the on-call room. He said you can go on in.
Luke: Oh great, thanks. Lunch date.
Katie: Lucky you.

- Here comes Chris to ruin the day yet again! GTFO CHRIS ---------->
- Here's Katie, not knowing anything!
- Here's Luke lying his butt off!
- One of their guys is going to be chief of staff. MARRIED. Reid's his guy.
- Dr. Reid Oliver and Mr. Luke Snyder. Sounds like a wedding invitation, doesn't it?
- Reid finished his rounds in two seconds, wtf?

Reid: Now you see what I've been dealing with.
Luke: Yeah, I understand why you've been so upset.

- Reid, again, immediately noticing that something is wrong with Luke.
- Luke feels sympathy for them both and even though Reid claims he'd kill Chris if he weren't sick, he is still concerned about him.

And here comes Dr. John Dixon!

Reid: Tell me what I'm supposed to do.
Luke: You should keep doing what you're doing.

- They now have a shared experience, something that only bonds them together since they're now going through this together. Reid's not pushing Luke away and claiming that it's his problem to deal with. But, instead, he's allowing Luke to be part of it.
- They're figuring out this problem together, good or bad, both working as a team ... together.

IN CONCLUSION: MARRIED.
All other arguments are invalid.

You can find all the screencaps for this episode here. I will not object to seeing a thousand icons of this episode displaying their love.

I loved Katie's "hi Luke" with Luke's huge smile afterward. It was so adorable.

Hahaha, the frames need to be examined! They were the best part.

Thank you so much for loving the picspam!
