Please read: This story is told in all dialogue. I know this. It's on purpose. I'm experimenting for the challenge. I know the lack of detail is annoying to read (trust me, it's annoying to write too…or not write, as it were), and I'm sorry. Just let your imagination run wild and have fun with it! Also, I know the Sons are all supposed to be the same age, but guess what, they're not in my story (see bottom of history note). I also know Reid's 'man-whore' reputation is more of a fan fiction community thing and not a canon thing, but I kept to the man-whorism in this story. shrug It worked. I'm interested in exploring the opposite end though. We'll see what the future brings : )

History Note: Reid and Blaise are not romantically involved in any way, nor have they ever been. Blaise has been friends with Reid since they were really young and because he's Reid, he's told her about the power. That's part of the reason they're so close, because she's the only person outside of the Sons who he can talk to about anything. Blaise and Tyler are in a serious relationship and though some of the dialogue can be misleading, Blaise and Reid are not actually doing anything behind his back (yet). That's just Reid being Reid (and don't we love it, haha). I'll post other notes to clarify stuff as we go along. Feel free to ask questions! Oh, ps- Pogue, Caleb, Sarah and Kate have all graduated and are attending Harvard. Reid and Blaise are seniors, Ty is a junior.

Setting: Nov. 14 at 6pm, Blaise and Tyler's six month anniversary, Blaise's bedroom as she gets ready


One: As Always

"Reid. Seriously."

"I am being serious. My parents wouldn't bug us, we could run around, terrorize the Vatican, ask obnoxious questions on tours, run at pigeons and make them scatter, and drink whenever we want. Come on, it'll be a blast!"

"Don't you already drink whenever you want now?"

"But this would be in Europe, so it would be more fun."

"Reid!"

"Your laughter really isn't making me take you seriously…Do you need some help with those pearls?"

"Please."

"I love it when you beg."

"You know what I'd love?"

"Face down on the mattress for old time's sake?"

"Mmm, better."

"Do share."

"If you'd wipe that dorky, smug look off your face and focus for me, please."

"Again with the begging."

"Reid!"

"Keep practicing that scream, babe. You're gunna need it some day."

"You're fucking impossible…"

"To resist? Especially when I'm offering you a free ticket to Rome?"

"You know, it's not like I've never been to Rome."

"But you've never been with me."

"Because I don't know of anything Italy has ever done to deserve that kind of treatment…besides, you know I'm already making plans with Tyler for the summer."

"Why do you like spending your time with him so much?"

"Um, he's my boyfriend?"

"Yah, I got the memo, thanks."

"Sorry, you were just making that face again."

"Face?"

"That face you've been making lately when I mention Tyler?…Yah, just like that. All man-PMSy."

"Fuck you. He's just being an ass lately, ok?"

"Well, stop hanging out with him then, obviously your behavior is rubbing off."

"Ya know what, if you really had a problem with my behavior you'd have been gone a long time ago."

"…Reid, I was just kidding. What's going on with you lately?"

"Nothing, I'm fine. Look, I better get going, Tyler'll be here soon."

"So what? Stay with me until he gets here."

"Why, you gunna miss me?"

"You're my best friend, duh I'll miss you…How do I look?"

"Like shit, as always. Don't stick your tongue out at me Blaise Aubrey Eagan, you're the one who asked."

"K, well I guess the crowd at Bellucci's is gunna have to deal with me looking like shit"-

"As always."

"…Because I don't have time to change, those are Ty's headlights outside. "

"Guess that's my cue to leave. I'll walk with you downstairs."

"Wait, let me just grab my clutch…got it. K, let's go."

"So, I hope you have fun at the stuffy-as-fuck, Italian restaurant."

"Oh I will. Have fun- wait, what is it you're doing tonight? Oh yah, staying at home alone. I'm glad your life is so much more eventful than mine. One of us has to have fun, right?"

"We could both have fun if you wanna ditch Ty."

"Oh no, slick. Not on our six-month anniversary. Not a chance in hell."

"Come on, you know you hate those fancy dinners he always takes you on anyway. Come dancing with me. I miss dancing with you."

"We'll go next weekend. We'll be on Thanksgiving break, we can drive into Cambridge and meet Caleb and Pogue, it'll be great."

"Yah…"

"Hey, you gunna send me off with that pout on your face? What if Tyler gets us into a car crash and I die? Wouldn't you hate that the last time you looked at me, you were frowning?"

"Blaise, if Tyler got into a car crash, I'd be too depressed by the loss of his Hummer to care about what I looked like the last time I saw you."

"…K, I'm leaving."

"Haha, no wait, wait."-

"Reid! Tyler's gunna get impatient."

"I just want you to know that if you do die tonight, the memory of how beautiful you looked the last time I saw you would only make losing you even harder."

"…Th-thank you."

"I mean that."

"I can tell. I appreciate it. I really do have to go though."

"I know. I'll see you later."

"Night. And hey!"

"Yah?!"

"Happy Anniversary!"

"Haha, thanks!"
