Paring: Caleb/Reid, Pogue/Tyler
Summary: procrastinating! Reid is doing the best he can to avoid Caleb….he has been throwing himself into any thing that gets his mind from certain things he needs to do.

Sloth- This sin is the inclination to being lazy or to abhor the work ethic. Man is to provide for himself and his household, and being idle is a contradiction to this command of God.

Sometimes, there are things that need to be done; things that eat at you every night. Things that won't leave your mind no matter what it is that you are doing. However, no matter how important and demanding it is, one cannot get around to doing it. No matter how much one tries to forget it, one can't.
He was going through that problem right at that moment.
It had been about a month since that fateful evening. He was not sure what to do. He knew they needed to talk, but really, what could he say to him. Was he angry? No. Was he happy? Well, no. He had no idea what it was that he was feeling, and it was kind of making him angry. What pissed him off the most though, was that he had just left him there. He had just vanished which not only was that a cowardly way out but he was always telling him off about using his powers. How come he could use his powers? So maybe he was just trying to focus on that thing because he did not want to think about the kiss. The kiss that was unexpected yet…..he was unsure if it was not welcomed. Sometimes, if he admitted it to himself, he dreamed about it. That was thoughts that were forbidden though. Now, with the new events, he was unsure of what to do.
However, he studied and did his homework. This was the first time he actually prayed for work at school, it was a way to keep from thinking of the fateful leader and his shocking actions.
He looked at the bright side of things, he was getting an A for sure in his classes. He'd be getting high scores on all his work. Nothing new there, he may be a bit of a party animal, but he was not stupid. He still got good grades, not perfect scores, but good grades.
Things were not looking good at the moment, because there was Tyler, glaring at him.
"Hey, what are you doing here?" Reid asked nervously.
"We need to talk. We haven't seen you for a month!" Tyler scoffed, pushing past him and into the living room. Reid sighed, knowing very well there was no getting around this.
"Now, care to explain why Caleb and you are playing hide and seek?" Tyler asked, worriedly as he sat on a chair.
"We are not playing hide and seek, actually, we are just hiding. There is no seeking at all." Reid pointed out, cheekily. Tyler glared at him, not enjoying the joke.
"Now, Reid. Why are you two avoiding each other?" Tyler asked again. Reid shuffled his weight, feet from feet, nervously.
"Umm…well, Caleb came to talk to me….about a month ago…" Reid started.
"I gathered that much." Tyler snapped.
"Yeah see, but umm…..he ended up…we kind of…well…HE…kind of…umm…kissed me." Reid blurted it out. Tyler looked at him, shocked.
"He what?" Tyler asked, disbelief in his voice.
"You heard me." Reid snapped, pacing back and forth, hands running through his hair.
"Like, seriously?" Tyler muttered, clearly trying to process what Reid had just said.
"Yes, okay! He did! And now I have no idea what to do!" Reid snarled, voice taking a whining tone.
"Was it good?"
Reid whirled around to gape at Tyler.
"Did you just ask me THAT?!" Reid spluttered.
"Well, was it?" Tyler asked, curiously.
"That is non of your business!" Reid snapped, voice siding into a hysteric tone.
"Well, isn't this your wish come true?" Tyler looked at him, confused.
"I'm not sure…." Reid muttered, plopping right next to Tyler on the sofa.
"Okay, so you are not sure…even though you've been having a crush on him for like forever?" Tyler looked at him incredulously. Reid leaned back, lips curving into a pout.
"I just…..it feels weird….having the person you've been longing for, for so long, actually reciprocate your feelings….." Reid grumbled, looking at Tyler with his baby blue eyes, confusion swirling in them. Tyler sighed.
"Well, may be you should talk to him. Things will be solved faster that way." Tyler advised him. Reid leaned his head on Tyler's shoulder, clearly depressed.
"Come on, Reid! You can talk to him at the party!" Tyler tried to cheer him up, but all Reid could manage was a tired smile.

Sometimes, he was sure that he was surrounded by little kids. The only adult in the group was the youngest, how ironic was that? Not that he minded, actually. He found Tyler's maturity to be quite appealing. That was just him, though. If he ever found out anyone was checking his Tyler out, well, there would be hell to pay. See, he had talked and gotten things settled between Tyler and him. Unlike the other two idiots.
He'd known them since forever. He'd seen the way that the two interacted, and it was obvious, or at least, to Tyler and him, that they liked each other. Except, they both were too retarded to notice it. He should have been worried that the leader was oblivious to things, but then again, he was good at everything except in the matter of the heart.
"Caleb, you are an idiot man!" Pogue sighed, looking at the pacing Caleb.
"I know, don't you think I know?" Caleb grumbled, shooting a glare at Pogue.
"You kissed him, and now you are hiding? Smart." Pogue snickered, earning another glare from Caleb.
"It was a safety precaution." Caleb snapped, sitting down next to Pogue, haughtily.
"Right, you were just a coward. Besides, Reid has been crushing on you since he was able to talk." Pogue chuckled, clearly remembering when they were six and Reid use to follow Caleb around.
"You can't possible know that because you are just a few months older than him." Caleb hissed.
"I was trying to make a point, thank you very much. Now, maybe you should talk to him." Pogue suggested.
"Right…..like he'll want to see me." Caleb muttered.
"Look, why don't you try it? You should at least give him a choice, not just push him away like that." Pogue advised.
"I hate you sometimes." Caleb glared at him. Pogue smirked, because he knew that Caleb had consented to talk to Reid.
"Great! Time to get ready for the party!" Pogue grinned. Caleb sighed, but stood up.
"Yeah, I guess it is. Tyler going?" Caleb asked Pogue.
"Of course, he goes, I go." Pogue shrugged.
Caleb sighed.
