Reid studied the Vanilla scented candle on the shelf. Moms like candles right?
"Did you pick something yet?" Pogue asked shifting the blender his mom wanted in his arm.
"I guess I could get her some candles." Reid grabbed three different sizes of the vanilla and followed Pogue towards the check out.
"All right, I got the blender for mom and the gift card for Kate... what'd you get Ty?"
"Oh he said not to get him anything." Reid shrugged.
"You dumb ass!" Pogue smacked Reid upside the head. "That means you're supposed to get him something, but he shouldn't have to tell you."
"What? That is so confusing."
"Come young padawan," Pogue said in a scarily good Yoda impression, "The ways of the gift I must teach you." He slung an arm around Reid's shoulder and led him out of the department store.
"Are you high?"
"What? Tyler likes animals." Reid said gesturing towards the glass case in front of them.
"No really, did someone slip you something? Because I can't thing of another reason why you'd think Tyler would want a fucking iguana."
"What about music? He like music." Reid suggested as they left the pet store.
"Okay, what kind?"
"...Um, Folk?"
"You fucking moron. I got this."
"Wow, this is actually. something I wanted." Tyler stared, shocked at the Christopher Pike novel in his hands.
"Why do you sound so surprised?" Reid asked, offended.
"No offense Babe, but you aren't the best at gifting. Last year you got me a sword."
"What? I thought you liked that."
"I'm not a samurai. Anyway, thank you." He kissed Reid on the cheek.
Reid grinned, "Christmas specials time?"
"I'll get the hot chocolate, you get the blanket."
Tyler leaned his head on Reid's shoulder as they watched the end of Olive, the Other Reindeer, "Pogue totally picked out my gift didn't he?"
"Yep."
Tyler laughed, "Merry Christmas Reid."
AN: Can you tell I make up most of my titles five minutes before submitting? Merry Christmas if you celebrate and all that.
