He's gripping the counter behind him so tightly that he's sure his knuckles have gone white, but Reid can't seem to force himself to push away from it to help with the pies. There should be a bit of guilt in watching his boyfriend do all the work, grabbing plates and knives that they'll be washing later because nothing in this apartment will be going to waste tonight, but then Luke says that. The worst part (or, perhaps, the best) is how evident it is that his boyfriend's innuendo had been entirely intentional and yet, Reid is somehow supposed to maintain his composure because they have a room full of guests just outside the kitchen.
It calls for a very specific type of revenge, he thinks, but it's just going to have to wait for later. That doesn't mean he can't tease, though. Really, he's just following Luke's lead.
"I think I'd like to make a very concentrated effort to be the one who comes out on top," he says, grinning devilishly at his boyfriend when Luke squeezes his ass. "We can save our fight for something better, don't you think? Let me have this one tonight, I can show you just how thankful I really am." It's more of a promise than anything else, and the effect of this form of revenge is really dampened by the fact that it's actively backfiring on him.
They've yet to switch roles in bed, Luke's consistently been the one on top since the first time they'd been intimate; but they have talked about it, even from that very first night they'd discussed their expectations. It's not something Reid's ever done before and just talking about it makes him a little nervous because he isn't sure he'll be especially good at it but at the same time, just the idea of being buried inside of Luke is arousing in itself. He ducks his head just to avoid gazing at Luke for too long because he knows if he does, he'll be tempted to go right back to kissing him. Right now, with all that's running through his head, that seems like a very imprudent things to do.
"I will always put myself at risk for being groped by you, by the way," Reid adds, finally stepping forward to take the forks from Luke's hand and grab one of the pies. It delights him to be able to say things like this without feeling embarrassed, without feeling like Luke might not respond in kind, but they've found an excellent balance of playfulness in their relationship that Reid is so grateful to have. While they're deeply in love and that's as sincere as it can be, they also know how to have fun together, and Reid hadn't realized how important that really was until he'd been faced with it in this relationship.
"I don't look too disheveled, do I?" he asks, lifting his eyes in a failed effort to see his hair. "Or is it as messy as it always is?"
