Brilliancy 14/14
In the nineteenth week it´s all about sex. Luke has so much time to make up for and he can´t get enough of Reid. He draws wet patterns with his tongue all over Reid´s body and he loves the taste of him on his tongue, salty and sweet at the same time and something else that´s completely Reid. He sucks on his neck and leaves marks that will show everyone that Reid is his and only his, and even though Reid complains at first, Luke knows that it turns him on.
Before that thing with the train, Luke had been nervous about not being good enough for Reid or disappointing him. And seeing how inexperienced he was, now he can´t help but smile at how naïve and childish he was before everything. He´s a fast learner and Reid sometimes jokes and says he´s never had such a devoted student before.
There is so much Luke hasn´t done and so many things he´s fantasized about doing with Reid, things he thought he lost the opportunity to do. Now he knows that life is short and nothing´s certain and he decides to spend the rest of his life enjoying every moment he´s got with Reid.
So they fuck slowly in the shower, with Luke pressed up against the shower wall and Reid behind him, going so slow and being so gentle that Luke has tears in his eyes. They´re kissing the entire time and Luke can´t imagine it being better than this.
Until Reid fucks him on the living room floor, both too eager and horny to make it to the bedroom. Luke is on all fours and Reid is pounding in to him from behind, whispering dirty things in his ear while biting and sucking on his earlobe.
He sucks Reid off in the clinic. Reid is sitting in his office chair and Luke is under the table with Reid´s cock in his mouth and his own in his hand when Susan walks in. Thankfully Reid has one of those desks that has a wall on the front so she can´t see him but he sits completely still anyway. He feels Reid´s dick soften while he´s answering Susan´s questions and Luke decides that he can´t have that and sucks it into his mouth again. Reid inhales sharply and Susan asks him if he´s alright, and if Luke´s mouth wasn´t full he would have laughed when Reid tells her to get the fuck out. The urge to laugh is completely gone a while later when Reid is balls deep inside of him while he´s lying on top of the desk.
Luke has never had so many orgasms in such a short time before and the sex is beyond amazing. He loves the foreplay and Reid can spend hours licking every inch of his body until Luke is trembling and downright begging him for release. The first time Reid sticks his tongue in his ass he can´t believe it´s actually happening. Reid, who refuses to sleep in Luke´s hotel bed because it´s full of other people´s germs and who claims children are disgusting germ-breeders, is willingly licking his ass, and ohmygod it feels fucking fantastic.
Reid has the most beautiful cock Luke´s ever seen and he loves sucking on it, running his tongue along the shaft and tasting those sweet pearls of pre-cum. He loves it even more when Reid fucks him with it, the stretch and burn in the beginning where he can´t decide if it hurts more then it feels good and then the waves of pleasure take over, and he can´t form a single coherent thought.
In the nineteenth week Luke fucks Reid for the first time. He´s trembling with anticipation and when he finally enters Reid, he has to bite down hard on his bottom lip to not come instantly. It´s so warm and tight and hot to be inside Reid and it´s better than anything he´s fantasized about. Reid isn´t usually very vocal in bed, except for all the dirty talking of course, but when Luke fucks him he´s really loud. He moans and pants and his breath hitches every time Luke´s cock brushes against his spot and it turns Luke on more than ever. He concentrates so hard on making Reid feel good, like Reid does when he fucks him, that he almost forgets his own pleasure. And then Reid is coming, his body is shaking and he makes this strangled sound in the back of his throat that´s really hot and his ass is clenching down so hard on Luke´s dick that he can´t move and he comes too.
Afterwards, when Reid is asleep, curled up against Luke´s back and one arm loosely wrapped around his waist, Luke tries to decide whether he enjoys doing the actual fucking more than being fucked. After a while he comes to the conclusion that he can´t really choose, and seeing as he can do both he doesn´t really care anyway.
In the twentieth week Luke decides that it´s time for him to move permanently to New York. He sees no point in staying in Oakdale anymore, he will miss his family and his friends but nothing is more important than Reid. He tells Damian first of all, seeing as though Damian is in New York and they´ve grown really close the past couple of weeks. Damian doesn´t seem surprised at all and when Luke apologizes for not being able to work with him anymore, Damian just snorts and tells him that won´t be a problem. He´s already started working on moving the headquarters of Grimaldi shipping to the office here in New York, after all, it´s much more logical to have it in a town where there actually is a harbor and he only stayed in Oakdale because Luke wanted to anyway.
He then calls Lucinda and tells her before telling his parents, that way Lucinda can be there when he calls them and help him calm down his Mother. Lucinda doesn´t seem surprised either and Luke guesses Damian must have kept her updated. For some reason his grandmother seems to be enjoying the prospect of having a legitimate reason to visit New York more then he understands. She does however agree on going over to his parents before he talks to them. That phone call goes as well as he suspected. His Mother is crying and makes it sound like she´s never going to see him again, and it´s annoying because Luke is old enough to make his own choices and he´s not moving to the other side of the world.
The last person he tells is Reid who seems to be a bit uncomfortable until Luke asks him if he wants to help him look for an apartment. After that Reid is visibly relaxed and Luke tries hard to hide his amused smile. He understands that it´s way too early to expect that Reid would want them to live together and he doesn´t mind having a place of his own. It´s not like he´s going to spend much time there anyway.
In the twenty-first week Reid complains about how terrible bad Luke is at chess. He mumbles something about how he can´t believe he´s in a relationship with someone so lousy at chess. Luke just hears the relationship-part and gets so happy that Reid is willing to admit that they´re actually in one, that they’re naked two minutes later and Luke´s nonexistent chess skills are forgotten. Until a few days later when he wakes up alone in Reid´s bed and on the pillow beside him, where Reid´s head should be, is a book with a yellow note attached to it. The note simply states: `Read me!´ and is written in Reid´s unmistakable handwriting and when Luke sees the title he can´t help but laugh. Chess for Dummies: Beginner´s Guide in How to Become a Chess Master.
He spends most of the day lying naked in Reid´s bed, reading the book and he quickly comes to the conclusion that he will never be a chess master. He doesn´t understand half of it and he definitely had no idea how many different chess moves and tactics actually existed. The amount of chess variants makes his head hurt and he doesn´t even try to understand what it all means. The last section in the book is a glossary in chess and he skims through it until something catches his eye. Brilliancy - A spectacular and beautiful game of chess, generally featuring sacrificial attacks and unexpected moves. Brilliancies are not always required to feature sound play or the best moves by either side.
He stares at the description, he devours it and if he ever would describe the journey that brought him to Reid, this would be the way. In fact, his whole time with Reid has been brilliancy.
The way he brought Reid to Oakdale in the first place, that was definitely not sound play. Their back and forth in the beginning was nothing but bad moves from both sides but when they finally got together it was beyond spectacular and beautiful. And then he lost Reid.
He thinks that maybe he played chess with Death like in that old Swedish movie Noah once forced him to watch, claiming that it was a classic everyone had to see. Or maybe he didn´t play chess with death, maybe it was with life or hope or fate or whatever. When Reid died, the game continued and somehow Luke managed to play his pieces right because he ended up in this other world where Reid was alive. And for a new chance with Reid, he would do anything, he would sacrifice everything and somehow he won.
He continues reading with a newborn interest and after that everything reminds him of him and Reid. Breakthrough - Destruction of a seemingly strong defense, often by means of a sacrifice. Reid had nothing but a strong defense but somehow Luke had managed to break through it.
When Reid finally comes home after a long day of work Luke is still lying naked in the bed and tries to explain his theory to him. Reid just gives him that `are you an idiot´ look that he masters to perfection and silences Luke with a demanding kiss.
A few days later there is a new book lying next to Luke when he wakes up. This is called Checkmate for Children: Mastering the Most Important Skill in Chess and it is exactly what the title says: a chess book for children.
In the twenty-second week Luke manages to persuade Reid to take the whole weekend off and come with him to Oakdale to help pack up his things for the move. Reid refuses at first but Luke knows exactly how to make him change his mind. So when they´re lying in bed a few hours later and Luke has three fingers up Reid´s ass and his cock in his mouth and Reid is begging him to fuck him, Luke simply says he won´t do it unless Reid follows him to Oakdale. Reid sighs heavy and mumbles something about blackmailing idiot and not being fair, before giving in. Luke secretly suspects that Reid actually wants to see Oakdale since Luke told him about how the other Reid gave up his job to live there in another life.
In the twenty-third week they visit Oakdale. Reid takes one look around before glaring at Luke and stating that there is no way in hell any Reid in any universe ever would agree to stay in such a depressing shithole, state-of-the-art neuro facility or not. Luke just raises an eyebrow and assures him that Oakdale has its attractions. That only makes Reid snort so Luke drags him into Java for a cup of coffee to lighten his mood a little. Noah is standing behind the counter and it´s a bit uncomfortable at first, he still remembers the way Noah acted the day he left him and when he sees that Noah´s still wearing his engagement ring it´s downright creepy. He quickly orders to coffee to go and gets out of there as quick as he can.
The rest of the stay runs smoothly and Luke is surprised to see that his whole family seems to like Reid. He knew his grandmother´s would and both Lucinda and Emma seem to be in love with Reid at the end of their visit. So while Emma is feeding Reid and Lucinda is flirting with him, Luke is packing all his things. He finds a few unfinished stories and he starts reading one of them and is surprised at how good it is. He remembers Damian saying something about him writing and even though he has no idea what he´s written he figures it’s something he should continue doing.
After another run in with a very drunk Noah they´re finally back in New York and even though Luke has his own apartment now, full of his own stuff, Reid suggests that he stays at his place for the night. Seeing as Luke has no intention of ever sleeping alone again, he doesn´t complain.
In the twenty-fourth week, Reid finally tells Luke that he loves him. They are lying in bed, basking in the afterglow of another brain-melting session of hot, hot lovemaking and Reid is drawing lazy patterns on Luke´s stomach with his fingertips while Luke is telling him about some semi-interesting incident at Grimaldi shipping. He´s just about to reach the point of the whole story, and if he may say so himself it´s kind of funny, when Reid suddenly places his hand over Luke´s mouth and stares at him with those piercing blue eyes. Luke raises an eyebrow and feels a tiny bit offended, seeing how boring Reid must find him to do something like that.
“I love you.” Reid says with a voice softer then Luke ever has heard before. It takes a few seconds until he realizes what Reid just said and what it means but when he does, he can´t stop the wide smile from breaking out on his face.
Reid rolls his eyes but smiles back and traces Luke´s bottom lip with his thumb. “I know you´ve been waiting for me to say it. So there…I said it.”
Before that thing with the train, Luke had been nervous about not being good enough for Reid or disappointing him.
