Watching him sleep has slowly become a past time of mine over these past few months. It wasn't my fault those blond locks were so appealing. It also wasn't my fault he was one of my brothers. It definitely wasn't my fault I liked guys.
"Come here, baby boy," he whispered. "I need you to do me a favor."
I stood up and walked the three feet between our beds. I didn't know what he wanted, and I didn't want to do anything, but my feelings for him made it almost impossible to resist getting up.
"What?" I asked softly.
"Lay with me?"
I climbed under his covers and suddenly his arms were around me, covering me in warmth. I stiffened, but after realizing he fell asleep I relaxed.
Sleeping in Reid's bed soon became a nightly thing. Sometimes we just sat up and talked about things. Other times, he almost instantly fell asleep. For the most part I wasn't nervous about sleeping with him.
But this night was different. This night, I was going to make a move. I took a shower and changed, the whole time thinking about how to go about this. Well, less like how to go about this and more like, how to calm myself down and grow the balls to do it.
"Deep in thought, baby boy?" he said as he closed and locked the door.
"Uh, yeah, something like that," I was nervous already.
"Well, talk to me."
He had sat down on his bed and was now patting a seat next to him for me. I anxiously stood up and walked to him. I sat down next to him and looked into those ice blue orbs.
"Well, Reid, I'm gonna say something, and I want no interruptions," I spoke.
"Gotcha."
"Well, you know I'm… gay. And you know that I kind of am attracted to you. But, Reid, lately I've been feeling a lot different. Every time I see you my heart pounds, and my vision gets a little cloudy. And all I wanna do is jump your bones," I spoke quickly, trying to get it all out, "what I want to say, Reid, is that I love you."
The words had come out of my mouth, and they were now flowing through his mind. I could see the confusion in his eyes. Then, there was that smirk.
"Well, it's about time I told you how I felt… I love you too, Tyler."
I was shocked, but words seemed wrong. I leaned in, as did Reid, and we kissed. It was almost magical, I felt like there were fireworks in the air around us.
"I don't want to go to fast with this, Reid," I said after we'd separated.
"We won't, baby boy. For now, come cuddle up," he said in a sweet voice.
We moved underneath the covers and I curled up with my head on Reid's chest. I'd never felt more happy in my life. Nothing could go wrong now..
