A/N: I'd like to start off by saying thanks for being patient with me about not updating like, ever anymore. I know you guys are all hungry for more slash, but I've been swamped lately. I got talked into joining the Academic Team for ROTC and studying for that takes up all my time, I'm in honors classes that are killing me with homework, I'm trying to keep a steady job and all this other b/s and it's taking a lot out of me. I've been meaning to update weekly like I have been for the past few weeks, but ROTC is taking up a lot of my time. Normally I'd take the time to talk to my reviewers individually, but I'm supposed to be studying SAT trigonometry for the next ROTC field meet. But thank you for still reviewing and reading and being patient. LOVE TO ALL OF YOOOOUUUUU!!! By the way, this one is really sad.
"Where the hell is he?" Reid growled as he looked at the clock.
He jumped a bit when lightning struck near the house and the thunder exploded outside the window. He looked out the window and the next lightning flash showed him something infinately more terrifying than a storm.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Reid demanded.
Tyler turned to him, soaked and dripping. Tyler didn't say anything.
"You're going to get yourself killed!"
Tyler remained silent and turned his face back to the angry clouds.
"What's wrong with you?"
Tyler's eyes fluttered closed and he didn't seem to even notice Reid near him. Reid placed a hand on Tyler's shoulder and Tyler finally looked him in the eyes. Reid noticed that Tyler had been crying.
"What's wrong?" Reid's foice finally softened.
"I've finally realized what I want and I can never have it." Tyler's voice cracked.
"You can have anything in the world." Reid was confused.
"I want kids, Reid. Kids. A son of my own."
"We can adopt or do the surrogate mothers."
"You don't understand Reid."
"Then make me!" Reid tried to make himself heard over the storm.
"It's not the same! I want the woman carrying my child to be someone I love! I can't love a woman as much as I love you! Don't you get it? Even if I do have a son, it's not the same." Tyler shook his head.
Reid was at a loss for words. Reid placed a hand on Tyler's shoulder. Tyler started crying silently, looking again to the sky, letting his tears mix with the rain.
"Some things just aren't possible." Tyler whispered, words lost in the howling wind and pounding rain.
A/N: I know this one was kinda emo, but it was inspired by something that I couldn't get out of my head. This is for Jesse Matheson. His blog on YouTube, "Ask a Gay/Emo/Australian Guy" can be extremely humerous. Until it came to "How Do You Deal With Depression". What he said made me cry. What he said made my best friend cry. For any of you that may have seen it, you understand.
