Pairing: Chase/Tyler

Dedicated to Pace1818.

Chase watched the brunette as he entered the room. That annoying blonde was behind him, trying to get the brunette to let him copy his homework. Tyler smiled at Chase before walking over to the table.

"Sorry I'm late. Reid has been bugging me for an hour about our Chemistry homework." Tyler said, "And when I told him I'd give it to him when I got back, he decided to follow me."

Tyler pulled out his Chemistry book before shoving it into Reid's hands. The blonde whooped before getting shushed by the librarian.

"Thanks Baby Boy, you're the best!" Reid said, "I'll leave you two alone now, since you're on a date."

Tyler blushed as Reid snickered. Tyler hated it when Reid teased him about dating. The blonde left quickly, as Chase rolled his eyes.

"Is he always like that?" Chase asked, as Tyler nodded.

"Ever since we were two." Tyler said, grinning, "Anyways, so what did you need help with in History?"

The brunette sat next to Chase, who chuckled.

"Actually…nothing. I said I needed help because I couldn't think of any other way to get you away from Reid. You two are attached at the hip it seems." Chase said.

Tyler blushed again before looking at Chase.

"You could've asked to hang out."

"I don't want to hang out though. I want a date with you." Chase said, causing Tyler's face to turn bright red.

"Why didn't you ask then?" Tyler asked.

"Because I have this inkling feeling that your brother's try to kill all your boyfriends." Chase joked, as Tyler laughed.

"That's only Reid and Pogue. Caleb tends to like them. He has this whole thing where he thinks that if he thinks there going to be bad for me or to me then he'll sic Reid and Pogue on them." Tyler said, smiling, "They're just protective of me."

Chase put a hand on Tyler's knee, rubbing it.

"Why are they so protective of you?" Chase asked.

"When we were six Aaron Abbot tried to drown me. He grabbed me from behind and pushed me under. The others were inside because their mothers were applying their sun block. When they came back they saw Aaron, and they went berserk. Reid punched the hell out of him, while Pogue kicked him in the stomach. Caleb actually pulled me out of the water in time. I had just run out of breath." Tyler said, "They've always felt guilty about that. So they think they can use the rest of our lives to protect me."

Chase tried not to feel angry towards Aaron but it didn't work. He was grateful for the other boys getting there in time though. He'd never voice it though.

"So what would they do if they knew you were going on a date with me?"

"What makes you think we're going on a date?" Tyler asked.

"Well are we?" Chase asked.

Tyler bit his lip before nodding.

"Sure, what the hell." Tyler said, "And to answer your question, Caleb already likes you so he'll probably be happy. Reid and Pogue….that's a toss up. Like I said, they hate all my boyfriends."

"I'm willing to chance it." Chase said, leaning towards Tyler.

"Oh yeah?" Tyler asked quietly.

"Yeah." Chase said, before kissing Tyler softly.

Chase felt Tyler smile into the kiss before feeling him pull back.

"Right…well…my room number is 436…stop by sometime." Tyler said, scribbling down a number, "And call me about the date."

Tyler smiled at him shyly before packing his stuff. As he stood up, Chase pulled the brunette into his lap.

"Tonight at seven?" Chase asked, as Tyler nodded.

Chase kissed him one last time before letting the brunette go.
