Pairing: Aaron/Reid
Rating: K+


Caring

"What is your problem?" Reid asked harshly, pushing the brown haired boy in front of him.

"Nothing," The boy muttered keeping his blue eyes trained on the floor beneath them.

"You haven't been acting like yourself lately, what's up?" He continued to pester him.

"Leave it alone, Reid."

Those familiar blue eyes held something that Reid hadn't seen in a long time. Regret.

"What happened?" The blonde questioned.

"Reid, knock it off, just leave it alone."

His icy blue eyes questioned him further and the brunette turned to face the TV again.

"What the hell did you do Aaron?" Reid sat up from his laying position, his bare chest visible to the curly haired boy next to him.

"Nothing, why do you think I did something?" He asked avoiding eye contact.

"I know that look on your face, and I don't like it."

Aaron rolled his eyes and got off of the twin sized bed, he grabbed his shirt that was lying half on top of the jeans that he had weaseled Reid out of not more than twenty minutes ago. He pulled his over his head and found his own pair of jeans, fighting to get them on.

"Now I definitely know something's going on…"

"Nothing is going on, Jesus Reid…" Aaron bit back angrily his face showing that he wasn't pleased with the blonde's badgering.

"You slept with someone else, didn't you?" Reid came to the realization, horrifying as the thought was.

"No," Aaron looked down the tip of his ears turning pink, a sure fire sign to the blonde that he was lying.

"Why don't you look me in the eye and say it, goddamn it, Aaron…" Reid stated angrily, he grasped on to the edge of the bed, his knuckles turning white.

"Fine, I did it…" Aaron snapped up looking at him. "Ok, I fucking cheated on you Reid…"

Reid's face showed his horror as he shook his head, tears welling up in his crystal blue eyes, "Get out," He pointed to the door angrily.

"Reid, look I didn't mean for it to happen, it just did…" He insisted gathering up his things.

"I fucking trusted you, Aaron…" Reid's teeth were clenched together. "After everything, everyone said I trusted you and you fucking betrayed me…" His face was sour.

"Don't you think you're being a little overdramatic?" Aaron tried to reason with him.

"Overdramatic?" Reid scoffed opening the door. "You're a fucking asshole; get the hell out… now!"

Aaron looked at him, his blue eyes full of regret. The blonde shook his head and adverted his gaze, he wasn't going to let Aaron sucker him back in. Not again. He slammed the door behind him and took a deep breath.

The blonde boy slumped against the door, tears streaming down his cheeks. He felt a gut wrenching pain twist in his stomach as he slammed his hands down on the wood floor. How could this have happened? How did he not see it coming?

He had cared so much about him.

He had fought with his friends about them.

And he just threw it all away.

He knew he should hate him.

He knew that it was the right thing to do, just forget about it.

But he couldn't… he couldn't find it in him to stop caring.


More drabbles to come, I'm sure! (I kind of liked this one for some reason...)
