When Reid wakes up the following morning, the light is bright in the room, and he slowly open his eyes. He's stretching out on the bed, glancing at the empty spot beside him. Lifting his head, he looks at the clock, and sees that it isn't too late in the morning. His internal time clock is telling him to wake anyway.

Just as he's about to get up out of bed, the door opens, and Luke walks through. Smiling, he walks toward him and takes a seat on the bed. "Morning." A coffee cup appears from nowhere and Luke places it on the nightstand. "Brought you some coffee. I don't think either one of us should be awake but I just couldn't sleep that well."

"I know," Reid tells him, sitting up in bed. "I think you kicked me once."

"Oh god, really? I'm, I'm so sorry."

"Relax," Reid chuckles. "I'm kidding. You were just tossing and turning."

"Well, I'm sorry for that. You'll be able to sleep well tonight in your own bed." That isn't supposed to sting as much as it does. "It's gonna be another long day," he sighs. "But, in the meantime, there are plenty of leftovers downstairs if you want ... who am I kidding? You'll probably eat the whole spread."

"I'm interested in a little more than breakfast right now."

"Oh, really? That's a first," Luke chuckles but leans in to meet Reid's kiss.

They do have another long day ahead of them and most of it is going to be spent in the hospital. He wants to be able to have one good thing before they start to face the bad things.

"Lemme lock the door," Luke leaves him and goes to secure the door.

When he returns, Reid pulls the covers back, and Luke goes to him immediately. Luke's just pulled on an old shirt and a pair of plaid pajama pants to go downstairs. He quickly strips the pants first, stepping out of them, and leaving them on the floor. Reid helps to take off his shirt when the sleeves get stuck over his arms.

He moves on the bed, still kissing Reid and begins to move his lips down over his chest, his stomach, and then he reaches his boxers. His hand presses against the growing bulge that he feels there and then pulls down his boxers just enough to take his cock out. Luke takes him into his mouth and sucks slowly.

Reid's fingers move through Luke's hair, clenching, and giving him more bed head than he came in with.

Luke makes Reid's cock wet with his mouth, sucking on him for a good few minutes before pulling off. Then, Luke straddles him. "I can't believe I'm doing this in this house," he whispers to Reid before leaning in for a kiss. "Noah never wanted to. He always said, not here."

"I should send him a thank you note."

"For what?"

"For making you wait so that you can have amazing sex with me in here," Reid smirks before kissing him again. Luke smiles against his lips and pulls away, taking two fingers, and sucking on them.

Luke moves them behind him and Reid watches as he penetrates himself. He's trying to keep his voice down, moaning quietly. Reid watches Luke's cock in front of him and he urges Luke closer. When he's close enough, he takes Luke's cock into his mouth while Luke continues to finger himself.

Luke pulls away first and groans the second that his cock falls out of Reid's mouth.

He then reaches for his discarded pants on the floor, looking for the condom that he keeps in his back pocket in case they need it, and a small one-time use only supply of lube. Finding both, he unwraps the condom, and places it on Reid like he's done several times now. He uses the lube liberally, stroking Reid to make sure he's thoroughly prepared. Reid's more than prepared.

He positions himself on top of Reid, taking Reid's cock, and pressing it against his hole. He begins to sink down on top of him and he moans when Reid's inside. Reid can feel him clenching around his cock. He's still not relaxed enough and he's tight. As good as it feels for Reid, he urges Luke to calm down. Placing his hands on his thighs, he rubs up and down slowly. That seems to work. Luke's body relaxes so that he's able to take in Reid's cock.

He begins to ride him slowly up and down. Reid's holding back his own moans as he looks up at Luke. Luke's pleasure and desire only help to fuel his own. He's never been with anyone who's fueled him as much as Luke has. It's intense with him every single time and sometimes it scares him how much he feels for him because he's never felt anything like it before. Is this the way love is supposed to feel or is Reid just going overboard with it? He isn't sure.

"Hey," Luke says, making eye contact with Reid. "Where are you? Come back to me."

Luke leans down for a heated kiss before he begins to really ride him. The bed is a little too close to the wall and the headboard taps against it every so often. Reid isn't sure how loud it is or if it's really making as much noise as he thinks it is. All he can see and feel is Luke.

They're both moaning quietly, Reid's hands on Luke's waist to steady him before he plants his feet flat on the bed and raising his hips to thrust hard inside of Luke. That makes Luke cry out and he slaps his hand against his mouth to prevent more sound from escaping.

Reid's fingers dig into Luke's skin so hard that he's sure there are going to be bruises there. Luke's other hand just rests on top of Reid's as if that's exactly what he wants them to do to him.

Luke's moaning loudly into his hand and Reid can tell that he's just about there. Before he can do anything else to push Luke over the edge, Luke comes hard all over Reid's skin, chest, and stomach. Luke's hole clenches tight around him and Reid brings Luke down hard on his cock which is now completely buried inside of him. He comes hard, eyes shut tightly as a strong wave of pleasure moves through him.

They're both breathing heavy when it's over, Luke's hand falling away from his mouth to take in gulps of air.

Reid opens his eyes to look above him, bringing his hand up to move his fingers through Luke's damp hair. Luke smiles down at him and leans in to kiss him tenderly.

They stay against each other like that, sticky, hot but incredibly satisfied.

"Shower?" Reid suggests.

"Great idea." Luke leans in for another kiss before he carefully moves off of Reid.

They take a couple of towels and head into the bathroom. They don't have time to do more than take an actual shower but that doesn't stop their hands from roaming under the pretense of getting clean.

After showering, they change back into their clothes from the day before. "I'll drop you off at your place before I go back home," Luke tells him as he buttons his shirt. "Then, we'll meet at the hospital?"

"Yeah," Reid's okay with the plan. He has a few other patient files to go through anyway and now he's adding Matt to the list. "What about your car?"

"I'll call Jack and ask him to bring it back."

Once they're dressed, they walk downstairs together where Reid sees Luke's relatives sitting around the large table. There are the two sisters, the younger brother and the older brother, Luke's dad, and Grandma Emma.

"Good morning, boys," Holden smiles a little too widely for his liking. That's just creepy.

"Morning," Grandma Emma has the decency to look a little embarrassed, avoiding eye contact with them both. "We've saved a spot for you both. Eat, Reid," Emma squeezes his shoulder in passing as she walks back to the counter to grab another helping of eggs.

There are two empty seats next to ... Farrah? Finn? Faith! and the older brother, Aaron.

Reid glances at Luke and he's ten shades of red and getting darker by the second. "Where did you all come from?" he asks nervously, quickly taking his seat and Reid follows.

"Daddy brought us," Natalie says before stuffing another bite of pancake into her mouth. That's really the only one of Luke's younger siblings that Reid remembers because they both stole cookies together. Partners in crime.

"I got your car back from Jack and Aaron drove mine over here."

"Oh, thanks," Luke's helping himself to the food in front of him but also burying himself in his plate so that nobody can see his face. Seeing Luke so embarrassed like this even though he was happily riding his cock upstairs is such a switch that it makes Reid laugh. Luke kicks him underneath the table and even though his calf is throbbing, he still thinks it's funny.

"What's so funny?" Ethan asks. "Why are you all red, Luke?"

"Ethan, honey, have some more milk," Emma swoops in and pours him another glass in an attempt to distract him.

"Oh, my god," Luke covers his face with his hands and shakes his head.

"You're just drawing attention to yourself," Reid helpfully comments as he takes the plate of eggs and the other plate of leftover ham.

"Oh, he already did that when you two were --"

"Faith!" Luke and his dad yell in unison.

Reid smirks and sits back as he watches the scene unfold before him. Ethan keeps asking questions and nothing can shut him up. Luke continues to hide in the food. Emma continues bringing food to the table as if she didn't hear her grandson having sex upstairs.

Reid stays quiet, happily making a grab for the last piece of leftover pie.

Luke and Reid manage to arrive at the hospital at the same time, changing into their lab coats, and then they part ways. Reid stays in his office to look over Matthew's x-rays and several tests that Luke's ordered, and Luke goes to check on the patient.

This isn't anything that Reid hasn't seen before. As he said the previous night, it's textbook. Even so, he makes sure to leave no stone unturned, no part of that boy's brain unexamined. He'll have to do another more thorough examination on the kid and order a couple more tests to get updates on the previous results now that they know what they're dealing with.

He loses track of time as he looks through every single piece of information.

Luke finds him in the room and closes the door behind him. Reid glances up at him and then back down at the charts. "How's he doing?" Reid wonders when Luke takes a seat across from him. He knows where he's been. Luke isn't supposed to be working today.

"He's ... worried and scared but he's trying to stay strong for his mom." Reid says nothing so Luke continues. "She wants to know how soon you'll be able to do the surgery."

"I'll do a thorough exam first. There's no pediatric neurosurgeon on staff here so I'll make a few calls. I can perform the biopsy and take a slice to confirm if it's malignant or benign. Then we'll have to see where we go from there. I'll go talk to them."

"Do you want me to go with you?"

"You can if you want. Maybe they won't drive me nuts with you in the room."

Luke rolls his eyes but there's no malice behind the action. "Yeah, she asked about you. I told her that you're the best that we have and I trust you completely." Coming from anyone else, Reid would take that compliment, have it inflate his ego, and forget all about it. With Luke, it takes on an entirely different meaning.

"I, uh, yeah. We should talk to them," Reid rubs the back of his neck then quickly puts the papers back together in the folder. "Let's go." Reid stands first, followed by Luke.

They walk to the room and Reid speaks to them both about what he's planning on doing, what the steps are after that, and he tries not to be flippant about it. He even makes the kid laugh a few times. The mother doesn't appreciate it but she seems completely devoid of a sense of humor anyway.

Luke's the one who picks up his slack, assuring them both, and calming down the mother. He's really good at that. He imagines that every parent who brings their kid to Luke absolutely loves him. Well, it's not like he can really blame them. Even though Reid's not really great at the whole social etiquette bit, he admires the way that Luke genuinely cares about every single one of his patients. Reid's even sure he remembers all of their names, what sports they play, whether or not little Susie likes little Tommy and that's why she pushes him around on the playground. Luke just seems like that kind of guy.

Reid has to do the neurological exam and Luke tells them that he has some other business to attend to. So, he leaves them for now but promises to return.

It's time for Reid to get to work.

The mother's relatively quiet as he examines her kid. He has to check reflexes, coordination, muscle strength, and various tests to make sure that the tumor hasn't spread. There's already some concern that it has when he observes some of Matthew's movements but it isn't severe or too noticeable to the untrained eye. He makes a few notes and tells them that he'll return when they have a room for the CT scan.

As he leaves the room, he takes in a deep breath, and feels a little more energized after the encounter. He feels determined, a rush of adrenaline moving through him at the thought of doing what he does best.

He takes off for his office, a little bounce in his step as he walks down the hallway.

---

Turns out that Luke's capable of pulling a few strings in the peds department and is able to get him a room for the CT scan and bumps him up to get an operating room when he's ready for the biopsy. After delivering the good news, Luke leaves so that he isn't a distraction, and tells him that he'll pick him up later.

Reid gets to work, able to get his scan and examine it to find out exactly where the tumor is. He's unable to determine the type without having a segment of it underneath a microscope. But, it looks just like all the other ependymomas that he's been able to diagnose in the past. It hasn't spread, Matthew's symptoms are mild, and there's no reason for him to believe that the tumor can't be taken out completely but that's not really his call to make.

He gathers a team together but he'll still take the lead. Luke trusts him with this case but oncology isn't his specialty. He deals with traumatic brain injuries, freak accidents, and a series of other traumas that interest him. The reason that he cares so much about this one is because it's Luke's patient. So, he's going to do the best thing for the kid.

He calls in a pediatric oncologist from Chicago and a colleague in Dallas who specializes in pediatric neurosurgery to work directly with the patient. It's something that he should've done earlier but he thinks that young Matthew will benefit from his expertise before he consults with others.

He receives an encouraging text from Luke, promising sandwiches to his heart's content to be dropped off for him later. And those are two things that he can't wait to see.

For now, he concentrates on all the fun brain parts.

Next.
