Chapter 10: Pool And Aaron
Drake and Pogue pulled up to Nicky's and parked next to Caleb, Reid and Tyler. The other three boys were waiting in the parking lot and they were all surprised when it was revealed that Drake was the one driving the motorcycle.
"So, I'm guessing you didn't crash into a tree?" Reid asked.
Drake glared at the older blonde, "No, you Jackass, I didn't crash into a tree."
The others laughed at the mock-offended look on Reid's face as they headed inside.
"C'mon, guys, Sarah's saving us a table," Caleb said as he led the way into the bar, not noticing the grimace that flashed across Drake's face.
The stepped inside and Drake saw Sarah sitting at one of the tables waiting for them and turned to look at the others. "Anyone up for a game of pool?" He asked.
Reid glanced over at Sarah kissing Caleb hello at the table and turned back to Drake with a nod, "Sure, I'll kick your ass." He grinned at Drake as they headed toward the pool table.
Drake rolled his eyes as he followed his cousin, "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just don't cheat."
Reid widened his eyes innocently. "Me? Cheat?" He asked. "Never!"
Tyler had followed them over to the table and snorted at Reid's comment. "Innocence doesn't suit you," He told the older boy with a grin, "Nobody believes it."
Drake nodded his head as he quickly racked the balls and stepped back to let Reid break.
Reid watched with satisfaction as he managed to sink two solids on the break and moved around to line up another shot. "So, do you plan on avoiding the table all night?" he asked as he glanced up at his cousin before taking his shot and swearing lightly as he missed.
Drake shrugged as he studied the position of the balls on the table before moving around to take his shot, smiling as the striped ball rolled smoothly into the corner pocket. "No, just when Sarah's there," He replied, "I'll go and sit when her and Caleb decide to dance or something." He took his second shot and smirked as the ball sank into the corner pocket. He looked up at Reid, "Now, I know why I'm avoiding her; I just don't like her. But that doesn't explain why you're avoiding the table."
Reid watched as Drake missed his third shot and moved to set up his own shot. "I just don't feel like watching her and Caleb make kissy faces at each other all night," He said.
"Of course you don't," Drake replied with a smirk.
Tyler leaned against a nearby wall and watched the two play. A few minutes later, it was Drake's turn again and he studied the set up of the table for a moment before moving around the table, stopping directly in front of Tyler. The brunette's eyes widened slightly as the blonde leaned over the table to line up his shot. His eyes were locked on Drake's ass and it was then that he noticed Drake was wearing a pair of the form fitting jeans that he had bought when he first got to Ipswich. He watched as Drake shifted slightly and licked his suddenly dry lips. A few seconds later and Drake straightened back up and moved around the table once more, having made his shot. Tyler blinked slightly and looked back up only to notice Reid watching him with a huge smirk on his face. He felt his cheeks go red and ducked his head down, breaking eye contact with the older teen.
Reid's smirk turned into a grin as Tyler looked away. He'd had a slight suspicion that Baby Boy had a crush on his cousin since about a week after Drake arrived, but the hungry look on Tyler's face as he stared at Drake's ass had just confirmed it. Apparently he hadn't been reading too much into it when he noticed all of the small, casual touches or quick glances that Tyler tossed toward Drake…Touches and glances that Drake returned. Oh yeah, Baby Boy was lusting after Drake and Reid was pretty damn certain his cousin was lusting right back. He glanced back and forth between the two boys and decided that they'd be good for each other; but if either of them hurt the other, they'd have him to deal with. As he watched Drake line up for another shot, he noticed a small smirk on the younger boy's face and his eyes widened slightly as he realized that Drake had chosen to make that shot on purpose, that he'd know exactly what he was doing as he leaned over the table in front of Tyler. A small snicker escaped his lips at the realization.
Drake looked up at Reid as he heard the older blonde snicker. As he met Reid's gaze he saw the realization and knowledge in his blue eyes, but no disapproval or disgust, just amusement. He shot a grin at Reid and winked causing Reid to outright laugh.
Tyler looked up at Reid in confusion, wondering if it was him he was laughing at, but instead say him looking at Drake. He glanced between the two for a moment before shrugging and just watching the game once more. After a few minutes, Drake moved in front of him to make another shot and Tyler fought and failed to keep his eyes off the other boy's ass as he leaned over the table once more. And was it just his imagination, or was this shot taking longer than the last time they were in this position? After the shot was over Tyler looked up again to see Reid looking at him once more, laughter in his blue gaze. Tyler looked at him nervously and bit his lip lightly. His eyes widened slightly as he saw Reid mouth 'Go, Ty,' at him with a grin. He hadn't really been sure what Reid would think of him liking his cousin, but apparently the older blonde had absolutely no problem with it. In fact, he seemed to approve.
It wasn't much later that the game ended. It had been close, the eight ball the only ball left on the table. Drake had managed to win; sinking the eight ball into a side pocket after Reid had missed his shot by a fraction of an inch.
"You got lucky," Reid said, "I'm totally gonna kick your ass this time." As he talked he was racking the balls once more.
As Drake went to line up for his first shot, a shadow fell across the table and he looked up to see Aaron Abbott leaning against the table next to him.
"Can I help you?" He asked sarcastically as both Reid and Tyler moved to stand next to him.
"Just wanted to challenge you losers to a game of pool," Aaron answered as he motioned to his friends standing behind him.
"You really that eager to lose your money to us?" Reid questioned with a smirk.
Aaron glared at him, "Actually, I think it's you losers who will be losing money."
All three of the boys snorted in response to that. "Yeah right," Tyler muttered.
Aaron shot Tyler a dark look, "Did you say something, Baby Boy?" He asked nastily, sneering out the youngest Son's nickname.
Drake stepped up to Aaron, cutting off his line of sight to Tyler. "Nobody calls him Baby Boy but us," He said as he glared at the older boy.
Over at the table, Pogue noticed the brewing fight and reached over smacking Caleb on the arm as he stood up.
Caleb followed Pogue's gaze and sighed as he too noticed the growing tension. He stood up and followed Pogue over to the pool table, Sarah trailing behind them.
"Hey, now," Caleb said as the reached the others, "Let's just calm down here. What's going on?"
"Nothing," Aaron replied as he glanced at Caleb quickly before returning his glare back to Drake, "Just challenging these little queers to a game of pool."
All four of the Sons and Drake stiffened slightly and Drake's glare grew even darker.
"What's that saying?" Drake asked and paused for a moment pretending to think. "Oh yeah, 'I think the lady doth protest too much.' What do you say, Aaron? Have something you're hiding that you wanna share?" He asked mockingly.
Aaron's face went red; though whether it was from anger, embarrassment or a combination of the two, Drake wasn't sure. "You little shit!" Aaron snarled as he lunged for Drake.
And with that the fight was on. Drake dodged Aaron's first swing but the second clipped him on the jaw; he returned it with a solid punch to the older boy's left eye and watched with satisfaction as he went flying back and landed on the floor, taking one of his cronies with him. His satisfaction didn't last long though as Aaron's other friend took a swing at him. Drake dodged and jumped slightly as another arm flew past him to connect with the other boy. He turned to see Reid's fist connect with a solid crack.
At that point Aaron finally managed to make it back to his feet and lunged at Drake once more, only to be caught around the waist by Pogue as the bigger boy stepped in. Aaron's elbow flew back and managed to catch Pogue in the temple and he loosened his hold a little, but not enough for Aaron to get loose.
Sarah shrieked as Aaron's friend managed to throw Reid into Caleb and her boyfriend joined in the fight. "Caleb!" She shrieked, "What are you doing? Stop it!"
She was ignored as the seven boys continued fighting; Tyler quickly getting sucked into the fight as well as Aaron finally got away from Pogue and shoved Drake into him. The eight boys fought viciously for a few more minutes until Nicky managed to make it to them, baseball bat in hand.
"All right, break it up!" The man bellowed loudly as he grabbed onto random boys and pushed them in different directions, the Sons and Drake to one side and Aaron and his two cronies on the other. He smacked the baseball bat in his hand. "I don't allow fighting in my bar. I suggest you boys get out of here now unless you want to get banned."
All eight boys nodded, still eyeing each other hostilely. The Sons and Drake were the first to break the staring as they glared one last time and moved toward the door to the bar; sending nasty looks over their shoulders as they went.
Outside, the five boys decided not to hang around and chance Aaron and his buddies wanting to continue things when they came out. They quickly said their goodbyes and agreed to meet up at the Garwin's the next day before going their separate directions; Tyler heading home and Caleb leaving with Sarah to take her home, she was clearly not pleased with her boyfriend, leaving just Reid, Drake and Pogue in the parking lot.
Pogue tossed the keys to the Corvette at Drake. "Here, you take the car back to my place. I don't want you driving the bike in the dark yet," He said.
Drake nodded and handed over the motorcycle keys before turning to Reid. "I'll meet you at Pogue's?" He asked.
Reid nodded his reply and slid into the Cabriolet, starting her up and quickly leaving the bar. Pogue started up the bike and peeled out after him, Drake following shortly in the 'Vette.

And chapter 10 is done! I hope you liked this chapter! And that the fight scene didn't suck. Or the pool game. I don't really play pool so it's kinda hard for me to visualize the game and if I can't visualize it, I can't write it.
Anyway, leave a review and let me know what you think of this chapter!
