Tyler was surprised when they parked at Nicky's. It was a bar of sorts. Tyler was expecting it to be someone's house. Following Chase inside and to where the boy wanted to sit.
"What's Simms doing with you Chase?" Aaron asked, "Shouldn't he be with Danvers---"
Chase threw Aaron a look that showed he'd explain later. Tyler caught that look with confusion.
"Chase, am I friends with him?" Tyler asked, pointing to Aaron.
"Wait…Simms, do you not remember me?" Aaron asked, grinning.
"He has amnesia from a car accident Aaron." Chase said, "Aaron's the one that introduced us Tyler, and helped us get together. His name's Aaron Abbot."
Tyler watched a grin appear on Aaron's face.
"I always forget that you two are dating." Aaron said.
"Wait…so we are dating?" Tyler asked, seeing both boys nod, "Where's the bathroom?"
Chase pointed it out, as Tyler stood and walked over to it. He went in and leaned against the wall beside it.
Shaking his head, Tyler went to the sinks and stared at the mirror. All he knew for sure was that his name was Tyler Simms, he was seventeen, and he had these wacky powers that sucked his life away. The brunette sighed before jumping and turning, seeing the older boy from earlier.
"Caleb, right?" Tyler asked, seeing the boy nod, "What are you doing in here?"
"I saw you come in here and figured we could talk without Chase making you go with him." Caleb said softly, "We were worried he was going to kill you when he took you Ty."
"I don't know what you're talking about. He didn't take me anywhere."
"No, when he kidnapped you." Caleb said, "He's trying to warp everything so that me, Reid, and Pogue look like bad guys and he looks like the good guy, but he's not. He's tried to kill us and he's threatened to do it again. He wants our share of the power as well, and he's not going out with you. You dated for maybe three weeks, but then we found out he was lying to us and was killing people. He almost killed Kate, Pogue, and myself."
Tyler stared at the boy as he continued to talk quickly.
"You dumped him right before I fought him. When I came back I broke up with my girlfriend Sarah, and I got with you. We've been together for nine months." Caleb said, "And he casted a glamour spell on himself to look like me so he could kiss Sarah and make it look like I was cheating on you, but I wasn't. Because I would never hurt you like that."
Caleb finally stopped talking as Tyler looked at him.
"Look Caleb, can you just leave me alone?" Tyler asked, "I don't trust you at all, and you kind of scare me. Besides that Chase wouldn't lie to me."
"But he is!" Caleb exclaimed.
Tyler looked into the boy's eyes, seeing nothing but honesty in them.
"You…you have really pretty eyes." Tyler said, as Caleb grinned.
"That's what you said on our first date. And I told you that I liked your eyes better than mine because they were softer and more carefree."
"I don't believe you, sorry." Tyler said.
"Look Tyler, we think he gave you some kind of potion that induced the amnesia, and who knows what else it could've done." Caleb said, "You can trust us because we're basically your brothers. We've known you since we were in diapers."
"I don't believe you. Now leave me alone!"
He tensed when Caleb pulled him into a hug. Immediately relaxing at the almost familiar arms.
"Some people say that the body remembers things the mind can't." Caleb said, "When I hold you do you feel safer than you do with Chase?"
"When Chase holds me…I tense up…when you hold me…it's like…I can loosen up." Tyler said, "Caleb…let go of me."
"You can trust me." Caleb said, "I swear to you that I've never done anything to hurt you."
Tyler looked at the older boy before stepping out of his arms.
"Leave me alone Caleb."
"Tyler, please just listen to me." Caleb said, "You have to understand that we've been dating for nine months. It kills me when you let Chase touch you."
The brunette stared at Caleb, before backing away from him.
"Look, just leave me alone." Tyler said, "I don't want to talk to you."
The brunette left the bathroom after that, walking up and sitting next to Chase. Aaron and the others had gone to the pool tables. The brunette biting his lip as he looked over at Reid, who smiled at him gently.
"Hey Chase, what's my favorite pastime?" Tyler asked, turning back to Chase, seeing the boy look at him.
"Dancing in the rain." Chase said, as Tyler stared at him.
"What's my favorite flower?"
"Gardenias." Chase told the boy.
"My favorite color?"
"Red…what's up with all the questions?"
"Just wanted to know."
His favorite flower was a blue rose and his favorite color was silver. How he remembered those things when he couldn't even remember who he was dating baffled him.
"You okay?" Chase asked.
Tyler nodded as Chase threw an arm over his shoulder.
"What's my favorite game?" Tyler asked.
"Monopoly."
Clue.
"And my favorite food?"
"Pizza."
Fettuccini Alfredo.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Chase asked.
"Yeah, I'll be right back." Tyler said, standing with Chase.
He watched the boy walk over to the pool tables, walking over to where the Sons were.
"What's my favorite color?" Tyler asked.
"Silver." All three replied.
"Game?"
"Clue."
"Food?"
"Fettuccini Alfredo."
Tyler looked at them in shock before looking over at Chase. The boy wouldn't lie to him, he wouldn't do that. That would be cruel.
"T-Thanks I guess." Tyler said.
"He didn't answer it right did he Tyler?" Reid asked the boy.
"No…he did." Tyler lied, as he walked away.
Chase wouldn't lie to him. He wouldn't do something that mean to someone he claimed to love. That would be so nasty and vindictive. And the boy didn't look any of those things.
"Chase can you take me home? I don't feel well." Tyler said, as he walked to his boyfriend.
No…he didn't know what Chase was. Walking with the boy and getting in the car. The ride to the dorms was silent.
When they reached the entrance, Chase leaned in for a kiss. Tyler leaning away from him.
"I don't want you to catch what I've got." Tyler lied, as Chase smiled.
"Always thinking of others before yourself." Chase said, as Tyler smiled back.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Tyler said.
"Okay, sweet dreams."
He planned on it.
"You too."
Tyler slid out of the car, watching the car drive off, as he walked inside, feeling more confused than ever.
