Reid/Tyler

Teddybear

Outside, the rain was falling like the clouds had been collecting water all year and saving it just for tonight; the thunder sounded as if locomotions were speeding by every 2 minutes; and the lightning lit up the sky just as frequently.

Tyler really wasn't liking it. He had never liked storms, especially the thunder part of them. His dislike of thunder only grew when he was walking down one of the many corridors in the Danvers estate and the lightning would light up everything in an eerie way and it felt like the thunder shook everything with just how loud it was and he was really regretting having that glass of water before going to bed and he swore this storm meant the Apocalypse was near and--

Another booming roll of thunder sounded and Tyler just about ran to the room Reid was staying in, the lightning lighting up the hallway just enough so that he didn't run into anything.

As soon as he was in the room, he was jumping into Reid's bed and clinging onto him, startling the other boy out of his peaceful sleep.

"Who, wha, huh?" Reid mumbled, trying to sit up, but he was pulled right back down by Tyler's vice-grip. "Tyler? Whaddaya want?" he asked, settling down into a comfortable position as he started to drift back to sleep already.

"It's storming," Tyler murmured, hiding his face in Reid's neck. Of course the older boy knew how he was with storms; they roomed together and whenever thunder came around, Tyler was out of his bed and into Reid's, if he wasn't in there already because of.. other things.

When they were younger, they'd all huddle together in one bed when they slept over each other's houses and it would start storming, but now, that was just a bit awkward and besides, all Tyler needed was Reid.

Reid made a muffled sound of acknowledgment and wrapped his arms around Tyler in return, "S'alright, baby boy."

Tyler let out a content sigh and relaxed a bit, his hold becoming less severe and more like a child holding a teddy bear as they drifted off to sleep.

"But you're explaining this to Pogue n' Caleb in the morning," Reid added, smirking as he kissed Tyler's forehead and let himself drift off to sleep.

Tyler just shrugged slightly and smiled softly, the thunder no longer bothering him now that he had Reid as a teddy bear.
