"It's not what you say, it's how you say it." The little mini-lecture continued through the pounding rain drops.

"So you want me to drop to my knees and seem like the hopless and helpless one in all this."

"Reid, now is hardly the time for your sarcasm." Caleb returned with anger in his eyes.

"Speak of the devil and the bastard lands on your doorstep. Good luck. And Reid, don't fuck this one up." Caleb said as he walked away.

Reid took a deep breath as the attractive brunette approached him.

"Hey, how's it going?" The brunette asked.

"Goin' good. There's something I need to tell you though." Reid said, blue eyes flashing with nervousness.

"What is it?" The brunette asked, slightly concerned. With another deep breath to steady his nerves just a little more, Reid began to try and form coherent sentences.

"I know we've been close for a while, forever really, and I know I've said I love you more than once, but I don't think you realize just how much I mean it. I mean it as more than you know. I-I-I love you. I don't just love you. I'm in fucking love with you." Reid paused for a moment, not quite knowing what to expect.

The brunette was shocked. It was just supposed to be a night at Nicki's. It wasn't supposed to end up with the sexy blonde in front of him saying those things so randomly and suddenly.

Reid felt his heart beginning to sink and shatter. This wasn't what he was expecting. Granted, he wasn't expecting some sort of overjoyed "Oh my God I feel the same way", but the silence was making him more nervous than he was before.

It was getting to be too much. The parking lot was silent. Everyone was crammed inside Nicki's, trying to wait out the storm. Thinking about it, Reid decided that the confrontation might have been a little warmer and drier inside the bar, but there would've been too many people and too many distractions. The cold, the wet, the slience, the nerves, Reid thought he was going to explode.

"Damn it. I knew I shouldn't have said anything." The blonde cursed himself. He couldn't help but fall in love with the angel in front of him. Short brown hair clinging to the slim, pale face. It was hard to not fall in love.

"Reid..." The dripping angel said softly.

Reid couldn't bring himself to do more than just keep his eyes locked onto the ones in front of him. He could see the concern in his Angel's eyes. He just stood there, blue eyes peeking out from underneath dripping blonde hair.

The angel took a single step and closed the small distance between the two of them. A soft, delicate hand shakily made it's way up to the side of Reid's face. Before Reid knew what was happening, lips as cold as death were pressed against his. As quickly as it came, the icy extacy was gone. He looked into the eyes of the person he loved, his dripping angel.

"I fucking love you Tyler, don't ever forget that." Reid said before pulling his angel in for another kiss in the pouring rain in the parking lot of Nicki's bar.
