Another story bit... and a little shorter than last time! Enjoy!
"Hey Ty," Reid muttered, spinning slowly in his desk chair and avoiding eye contact with his roommate.
Tyler glanced up from his history textbook. The brunette used his elbows for leverage to lift off his bed and turn his attention to the other teen. "Yeah Reid?" Tyler answered.
"Do you get this stuff?" The blond muttered nodding to his crumpled up math homework and textbook.
Tyler watched his friend for a moment, before nodding slowly. "Yeah…" he trailed off confused.
"You think you would help me?" Reid asked, voice barely a whisper but Tyler heard his brother's words.
The younger teen remained silent, in shock of the request. Reid never asked for help, and never admitted he needed it. Tyler felt a surge of honor that Reid would come to him for help. "Really?" Tyler inquired.
"Never mind," Reid shrugged spinning around again to face the wall. The blond felt the need to hide from his brother, feeling slightly rejected. "I can figure it out."
"Wait Reid," Tyler called jumping from his bed only to stumble to the floor. "I will help you." Tyler agreed with a smile, pushing himself up from the ground.
The blond nodded returning his brothers grin and shifting over so Tyler could pull up a chair.
An hour passed and Reid slammed his pencil down on his desk and confident smirk on his face. "I get it!" He announced, "It's so much easier when you explain it Baby Boy."
"I am glad I could help Reid." Tyler answered, standing from his chair and raising his arms up in a stretch. The brunette slipped across the dorm room and took a leap on to his bed.
Reid followed his brothers' example and stood form his chair and crossed the room to his bed. "Ready for lights out?" The blond asked, stripping off his shirt while using his foot slid off his shoes.
"Sure," Tyler sighed, shoving his notebook into the binding of his text and slamming closed his history book. "Not like I am going to get anywhere with this anyways." The brunette slid his school work under his bed for safekeeping and wiggled around to settle under the covers.
Reid flipped the light switch and the room went dark, the only light eliminated from the alarm clock and through the window. "Oh by the way Baby Boy," Reid called, though the darkness.
"Yeah Reid?" Tyler answered, squinting in his brother's direction.
"Nice face plant." The blond snorted, followed by a grown as a pillow smacked him in the face.
