Caleb/Reid - Jealousy

Caleb was a calm person; he always had been. He had a level head and an almost nonexistent temper; his patience was like that of a saint.

Over the years, his patience and calm spirit was tested nearly every other day, from Pogue's flaring temper, to Reid's idiotic stunts, and even Tyler added to those stresses, like when he let Reid drag him into trouble or when he would cover for Reid when the other boy wreaked havoc, or when he would put in little comments after the oldest would lecture Reid for his stupidity.

It seemed that Reid was what really tested Caleb's calm exterior; of course, the ratio of the times Reid actually got snap to the several, numerous times he tried was a large one… it was hard to rattle the eldest of the Sons.

Not only was Caleb a patient person, but he was also one to rarely ever get jealous.

Reid like to push that as well; he loved it even more when he could Caleb's buttons and break all those things he was known for at once.

After all those years, he felt stupid for trying so hard when the answer was staring him right in the face.

They all knew about Caleb's little boy crush on Reid; hell, Reid teased him about it all the time--so much so that Caleb actually made a move and now they were… well, they were Caleb and Reid, but with something more.

Reid didn't change his ways though; he was still the biggest flirt in Ipswich… which apparently bothered Caleb now and he made that clear--several times.

So when Reid was being dragged away from some girls at the pool, then being slammed into a row of lockers in the boys' locker room, he could only smirk against the lips crashing against his own.

He had broken Caleb's patience and made him jealous, just by being himself.

Yeah, he was proud.
