Chapter 13: Moping

Reid, Tyler, Drake and Pogue watched as Caleb walked out of the room, his shoulders hunched, and Tyler sighed.

"He's moping again," The youngest Son said needlessly.

It had been just under two weeks since Sarah had found out about Drake and Tyler's relationship and Caleb's bisexuality and blown up ending with Caleb and Sarah breaking up and Sarah leaving. They had found out a couple of days later that Sarah had even gone so far as to move back to Boston. And now, nearly two weeks later, Caleb was still moping about the break-up.

Reid scowled, "I wish he'd just get over it. This moping shit is depressing. And she's not worth it."

Pogue sighed as he looked over at Reid. "No, she's not," He agreed, "But Caleb really liked her and having things end the way they did and him finding out she was so different from what he thought; it hit him hard. Just give him some time."

"How much time, Pogue?" Reid asked. "It's been almost two weeks and he's still walking around like someone shot his puppy or something."

"Maybe we should take him out to a night a Nicky's," Drake suggested, "Try and take his mind off of it."

"Or maybe one of us should talk to him," Tyler added, "Try and get him to talk about it, get it off his chest, you know?"

Reid nodded, "That's a good idea. I'll do it." He stood up swiftly from his seat and followed the direction Caleb had gone.

Tyler blinked for a moment as he stared at Reid's retreating back. "Okay, I actually meant me or Pogue should talk to him," He muttered more to himself than to anyone else.

It took him a few minutes but Reid finally found Caleb in his father's old study. The room was dark; the furnishings and walls all done in dark woods, dark curtains over the windows and only two small lamps lighting the room, the main lights turned off. Caleb was sitting in the chair in front of the desk; a chair Reid remembered sitting in many times when he was younger, back before his father had died, and his father had had to lecture him on something or the other. Reid could barely see Caleb's face, the dim lamps casting shadows over the other boy's features.

"Caleb?"

"Go away, Reid," Caleb said softly, "I just want to be alone right now."

Reid stared at Caleb and his jaw clenched. "Yeah, well that's just too damn bad," He retorted.

"Reid," Caleb said, a warning clear in his tone, a warning that Reid ignored.

"No, Caleb, You don't need to be sitting in here by yourself in the dark!" Reid exclaimed. "Why don't we go out to Nicky's or something? Or we can just stay here and talk. Either way, you need to move on." He could tell that Caleb was beginning to get annoyed and possibly a bit pissed off, but Reid figured anything was better than the constant moping.

Caleb glared at Reid and stood up from the chair. "I don't want to talk," He said, "And I don't want to go out. I just want to be alone right now."

Reid glared right back, annoyed as well, and his temper beginning to boil over after almost two weeks of keeping it in check while trying to let Caleb deal on his own. "Damn it, Caleb! Would you stop fucking moping? So you and Sarah broke up; get over it!"

Caleb glared at the blonde, annoyed and more then ready to vent his frustration. "Screw you, Reid," He replied, "I bet you're just so happy that I'm not with Sarah anymore. I mean you were always pissed that she picked me over you." He was kind of itching for a fight now, and he knew he could count on Reid to deliver.

Reid glared at Caleb, his jaw clenching in anger and frustration. "Shut up, Caleb."

"Why? Did I hit a nerve?" Caleb asked. "You were pissed because she chose me. You were jealous of me because I got the girl and you didn't."

Reid growled low in his throat. "I was never jealous of you," He spat.

"Of course you weren't," Caleb scoffed. "C'mon, Reid! I saw the look on your face anytime Sarah and I were together. You were jealous. Sure, you hid it well, but I know you better than that."

Reid snorted, "Not as well as you think, apparently."

"Oh really? Because I beg to differ," Caleb said.

Reid stared at Caleb for a moment. "God! You really don't get it, do you?" He asked completely frustrated.

"Get what?" Caleb asked annoyed.

Reid growled in frustration and pushed the taller boy against the wall and kissed him hard, using Caleb's gasp to slip his tongue into the older boy's mouth. He pulled back a few seconds later panting harshly. "It was never you I was jealous of; it was her. I was jealous because she had you; not the other way around," He said fiercely before turning and walking away, Caleb staring after him in wide-eyed shock.

And another pairing has been revealed! I hope I didn't disappoint!

Yes, I know this chapter was short, but I've had most of this chapter (from "Damn it, Caleb! Would you stop fucking moping?" until the end) written for nearly two weeks and it was really hard to write the first half of the chapter and get it as long as I did and still have it mesh with the part I had pre-written. The next chapter should be longer.

Anyway, I hope you all liked it! Leave a review and let me know!
