Tyler sighed as they went downstairs; Reid and Pogue were playing Mario Kart, and trying to mess the other up.
"You know, that's what those little rainbow diamonds are for right?" Tyler asked.
"Better this way." Reid said.
"Yeah but if you get the lightning bolt you can squish him." Tyler said, seeing Reid look at him.
"How?"
"It shrinks the other players. Then you can run over them and it squishes them." Tyler said, seeing Reid and Pogue both stopping and going for the diamonds.
Caleb laughed, pulling Tyler down on his lap.
"So how was the shower sex?" Reid asked, making Pogue snicker.
"There was no shower sex, because not everyone has sex twenty-four seven like you Reid." Caleb said, as Tyler curled in his lap.
"You guys are kidding right?" Pogue asked, "You were in there for a while."
"Actually we weren't. We just had to change the sheets before we came down." Tyler said, "If you'd listened you'd noticed the water turned off ten minutes before we came down."
"You still had a twenty minute shower, what were you doing?" Reid asked.
"Not that it's any of your business but we were talking and getting clean. Hence why we're wet." Caleb said, rolling his eyes.
Tyler giggled, making Caleb laugh.
"Oh yeah, by the way Cay, Aunt Evelyn said that she was going on some cruis--"
"She already left?" Caleb asked.
"Yeah, right after you guys hopped in the shower. She also told me to congratulate you both on not being virgins anymore." Reid said.
"She did not!" Tyler exclaimed.
"Yeah she did, it was awkward." Pogue said.
"In that small list of things I didn't need to know, didn't you guys think that was one of them?" Caleb asked.
Reid and Pogue just shared a grin, making Caleb roll his eyes.
"Devious little bastards." He muttered, hearing a knock on the door.
He groaned before Tyler slid out of his lap, "I'll get it Cay."
Caleb shook his head, pulling Tyler to the couch.
"Uh uh Baby Boy, I'll get it." Caleb said, standing
Tyler rolled his eyes as Caleb went to the door. Hearing a gasp from the hall once the door had opened. Reid and Pogue both grinned as Tyler walked over to the door.
"Reid! Why in the hell did you order nine pies?" Caleb snapped, handing half of the boxes to Tyler.
"Because I wanted pies."
Caleb glared at him as they set it down on the table.
"Forewarn me next time." Caleb snapped, "The woman at the door was looking at me like I was crazy. I didn't even know you could get pies delivered."
"You can get anything delivered now." Reid said, rolling his eyes.
"Chill you guys that just means that Reid better eat all nine pies, or we'll use get to use them for target practice." Tyler said, smiling innocently.
Reid smirked before lunging at Tyler, knocking the younger boy down.
"Oh really now Baby Boy? Target practice?" Reid asked, before tickling Tyler.
The brunette let out a squeal before laughs came flowing out of him. He winced when his butt hit the ground too harshly, but continued to laugh as Reid relentlessly tickled him. Reid smirking as he got up and ran as Tyler scrambled up.
"You better hope I don't catch you!" Tyler yelled, chasing the blonde.
Reid grabbed Pogue, making the boy stand in between him and Tyler. The blonde was grinning widely, because this was the most life they'd seen from Tyler for the past few days.
"Not fair, you can't use human shields!" Tyler complained.
"There are rules now?" Reid questioned, as Pogue moved with a smirk.
Tyler tackled Reid to the ground, tickling the blonde until he saw tears leaking out of Reid's eyes. Then the brunette got off and ran behind Caleb.
"Okay kids, stop the madness now." Caleb said, smiling.
Reid stuck his tongue out at Caleb, who laughed.
"Very mature Reid, but the only tongue I want, is the one who's hiding behind me."
Tyler blushed scarlet, making the other two boys across from him laugh.
"Shut up." Tyler said, as Caleb's moved behind him.
"Anyways boys, I propose for us to go to the store." Caleb said, "We're running low on food, so it's a necessity."
Reid groaned as he shook his head.
"I say, Ty and I stay here and you and Pogue go." Reid said, "I needed to talk to Tyler about something anyways."
Caleb raised a brow at Reid, before feeling Tyler nod.
"I'm cool with that. Still sore from last night." Tyler said quietly, "Especially after all that running, Reid."
Caleb smiled warmly, kissing the younger boy, while Reid smirked proudly.
"Okay, we'll be back in thirty minutes. We're just going to get necessary food." Caleb said, as he and Pogue left.
Tyler looked over at the blonde who smiled at Tyler unsurely.
"What's up Reid?" Tyler asked, sitting on the couch again.
Reid bit his lip as he sat next to the boy.
"How did you know that you loved Caleb?" Reid asked, making Tyler blink.
"Oh my God…are you in love Reid?" Tyler asked, "Who? When? W--"
"Just answer the question Baby Boy."
The brunette nodded, before biting his lip.
"I think it was right after we got back from summer camp when we were fourteen. It was like…I couldn't imagine him being with anyone else but me. And then when he started dating girls I would always feel sick to my stomach. And I really hated those girls because they'd always break his heart." Tyler said.
"Is that why you dated Chase?"
"No…with Chase…it was like…after I came out to you guys when we were fifteen, you guys got even more protective of me. And every time a guy would ask me out, one of you would always be there to scare him off." Tyler said, sighing, "With Chase, you guys didn't scare him because we were dating secretly. And that's what hurt me a lot I guess. Is that I had to hide the fact that I had a relationship with Chase from you guys. And then when Caleb found out about Chase I had to break it off with him. I-It was hard because I couldn't get away from you or Caleb, because you both were paranoid that he'd attack one of us next. And the one time I did, Chase cornered me. I broke it off with him and he got really mad. Like the kind of angry you and Caleb get combined. And it was all directed towards me…and the only reason he left is because you and Cay had come to find me."
"So how'd you get with Cay?"
"Sarah was really freaked out about everything. The Covenant…Chase…and Caleb had realized he had feelings for me during the fight. So they mutually agreed to break it off. Sarah agreed she wouldn't tell anyone about the Covenant and they would stay friends. And you were at the hospital with Pogue…I was at our room and Caleb came to our dorm. The first thing he did was kiss me…and it shocked the crap out of me and I thought I was dreaming…but I wasn't. And ever since then we've been inseparable." Tyler said, "Now why?"
"I kind of like Pogue."
Tyler's eyes widened, "Seriously?"
The blonde nodded his head, seeing Tyler grin.
"Go for it Reid. Life's too short to waste. We should know this by now, right?"
"But I don't even know if he's gay."
"I think the gay porn stash he has in his bedroom is enough to suffice." Tyler said, seeing Reid's mouth drop.
"How do you know about that?"
"Caleb and I accidentally found it when Pogue was showering. You were retaking a quiz in Latin."
Reid's mouth twitched in a smile before he hugged Tyler.
"Thanks Baby Boy."
"For what?" Tyler asked confused.
"You always listen to me and help me out."
"Reid, that's what friends do. You do the same for me." Tyler said, smiling.
Reid smiled back before standing.
"Okay sentimental moment over, wanna play Mario?"
Tyler laughed before nodding, the two sitting on the floor and starting to play the video game.
