CHAPTER ONE:: Differences
"Hey this is Caleb and Reid. We're not able to come to…" Tyler slammed his cell phone shut and laid it on the kitchen table in front of him. He starred at it for a moment and then picked it up again.
"Freeze." A voice yelled from behind him, causing him to hover his right thumb over the green send key. "Put the phone down."
Tyler scowled as the voice yelling started laughing, he placed his phone down and got up from the table. "Ha ha. Very funny Pogue."
"It was." Pogue laughed to himself pulling out a Jack Daniels out of the fridge.
"I was just going to call…for pizza." Tyler said trying to lie.
"I had no idea that Caleb was a pizza man. By the way, there's a reason his phone is off."
"So he can worry the shit out of his best friend?" Tyler pouted.
"No, so he can spend time with his boyfriend." Pogue laughed looking in the cabinets for something to munch on.
"I can't help it that I get a feeling that they're hurt all the time." Tyler said looking over at his phone.
"They. Are. Fine. Now, what's for dinner?" Pogue asked shutting the cabinet doors.
"Your mean. No dinner for you." Tyler said pulling out a take out menu for Pogue's favorite Chinese place.
"And you're cruel." Pogue smiled as he took his Jack Daniels and went into the living room.
BRing. BRring. BRRrinng. The house phone rang. Tyler picked up the receiver, "Hello?"
"Hey. It's Caleb." A deep voice sounded from the other end.
"Hey, how are you?" Tyler asked opening the fridge and finding last night's dinner. He took it out and walked into the living room where Pogue was sitting on the couch. He sat beside him and set the take out box on Pogue's lap.
"Who are you talking to?" Pogue asked opening the box.
"I'm fine." Caleb said sounding happy.
"That's good. And Reid?" Tyler said grinning as he saw Pogue's face scrunch up at the food.
"What is this? It's freezing." Pogue said closing the box back.
"Actually that's why I called." Caleb started out. "I wanted to know Reid's favorite flower."
"Um…I don't think he has one. Just settle for red roses. What's the occasion?" Tyler asked swatting at the glaring boy in front of him.
"It's me and Reid's first date."
"That's great." Tyler said sounding ecstatic. "Do you know where you're taking him?"
"I was going to take him to La Rouge."
Tyler tilted his head as he watched Pogue reach in the seat cushion for something, "Oh, that expensive place in the city?" Tyler asked Caleb.
Pogue pulled out a candy bar from the couch and was about to eat it when Tyler kicked him in the ribs.
"Ow." Pogue said grabbing his side.
"Yeah. It's a pretty nice place. I'm glad I was able to get a reservation. This will the first time that Reid and I will be 'out' to the world."
"That's great Caleb." Tyler said standing up and throwing the leftovers and the candy bar away. He grabbed the Chinese restaurant menu and handed it to Pogue, whose eyes lit up.
"I know." Caleb laughed. In the background Tyler could hear Reid enter the room.
"I guess you got to go." Tyler said disappointed.
"Yeah. I'll call you soon."
"Have Reid call me."
"I will. Bye." Caleb hung up the phone. Tyler put the phone on its receiver and sat back down next to Pogue. "How old was that candy bar?"
"Um. I don't even think it was mine." Pogue admitted looking over the menu.
"And you were going to eat it?" Tyler asked disgusted.
"I'm hungry." Pogue said looking up at him.
"You always are."
"So, are you glad that Caleb called?"
"I guess." Tyler said sadly.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine." Tyler grabbed the menu and ordered Chinese food.
Ever since they moved and started college, things were different. Sometimes a good different, sometimes a bad different.
"Oh, I meant to ask you. Have you been using my towels?" Pogue asked while they were eating.
"Yeah. So?" Tyler said picking thought his food.
"You have your own." Pogue said.
"I know that."
"You were the one who said you didn't want blue. You wanted red." Pogue pointed out.
"But all the red ones are dirty." Tyler said sighing.
"Not my fault."
Tyler scowled and went to eating his food. It seemed like everyday they had a lovers quarrel. Except, Pogue didn't know that Tyler was gay and Tyler didn't think that Pogue was at all. These two boys living together is going to turn into a big mess.
