Pairings: Reid/Tyler, Caleb/Pogue
Reid looked at Tyler, before looking over to Caleb and Pogue. Both had the same looks on their face as he did.
Worry.
They had each noticed the youngest son hadn't been eating lately. When the three had gotten together and actually thought about it, they couldn't remember the last time they'd actually seen Tyler eat.
This spelled things out to them that they didn't like. One was that they weren't paying attention to the youngest. Two was that the youngest was obviously depressed about something. Three was that Reid was a shitty boyfriend for not noticing sooner. Four was that they had no clue how to go about asking the youngest.
The bell rang, signaling the end of class, as Reid packed his stuff up. The blonde looked over at Tyler again, noticing how skinny the boy way. Caleb and Pogue walked over and smiled at Tyler, who half heartedly returned it.
"I've got an idea." Caleb said, "Let's go get dinner and Dairy Queen. We can get ice cream after."
Pogue grinned and nodded.
"That sounds like a good idea. I'm starving." Pogue said, emphasizing starving.
Reid rolled his eyes at them.
"You two are idiots. And fatties too while I'm thinking about it." Reid said, as they moved out of the classroom.
"Then where do you suggest we go then?" Caleb asked.
"I don't know. Ty, where do you want to go?" Reid asked, smiling at his lover.
The brunette shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't care. I think I'm going to go take a nap." Tyler said, "I don't feel too good."
The blonde could see Caleb and Pogue biting their tongues.
"Come on Ty, you never go out anywhere with us anymore." Reid whined, "It's been boring!"
Tyler laughed slightly at his boyfriend's tone before looking at Reid.
"I'm just tired."
"Sleep can wait." Reid said, "Come on, we can go to Nicky's."
Tyler shook his head before Reid's last nerve gave away.
"Alright Ty, I'm not going to beat around the bush anymore. Apparently it's dead and can't be beat anymore." Reid said, sighing, "I—We've noticed you haven't been eating. And it's starting to scare us how skinny you're getting. I don't know why you stopped eating, but I want it to stop. You have to eat Tyler, if you don't you could die."
The brunette looked up at Reid, surprise evident on his face.
"Re--"
"No, no arguments. I've been a bad boyfriend to just flat out ignore you." Reid said, "I don't know what happened, but I want you to eat."
Tyler gave him a small smile before nodding. Reid let out a sigh of relief, hearing the two behind him do the same.
"Dairy Queen actually does sound good." Tyler said, hearing Reid groan.
"But Dairy Queen fucking sucks!" Reid whined.
Tyler laughed as they walked out of the building.
Later when it was just Tyler and Reid, the brunette explained to Reid why he had stopped eating. The next day Ryan Bael was sent to the hospital with a broken nose.
