Reid/Tyler - Kittens
Reid wasn't a fan of animals; he didn't hate them or anything… he just preferred to not be in the presence of anything that wasn't human.
He blames Pogue for that. When they were younger, Pogue had a dog: a German Shepard named Buddy. Whenever Reid would go over to the Parry estate, the dog would be all up in his business, sniffing him and licking him and just all in his face.
Reid didn't like it and he made that known by flailing his arms and running away from the dog. Buddy took that as hostile behavior and switched from his playful antics to growling and barking at Reid. Poor Reid hid behind Pogue's father until the dog was finally taken out of the room and away from him.
Then there was the time Pogue brought a stray cat to his house and it ended up scratching Reid clear across the face. And then the other time when Pogue got a hamster for his birthday and he let it loose… in Reid's pants.
Yeah, he definitely blamed Pogue for his dislike of animals.
Of course, all of the Sons knew about he felt about animals, including Tyler… especially Tyler; he was his best friend, his amigo, his companion.
So Reid was really confused as to why the hell there was a box of kittens on his bed with Tyler cooing at them and setting them down on his pillow.
"…what are you doing?" Reid asked cautiously and closed the door behind him. He narrowed his eyes at Tyler suspiciously and kept his place near the door.
Tyler looked over to the blonde boy and grinned. "Hi. Wanna meet Caleb, Pogue, Reid, and Tyler?"
"You named those… those… things after us?!" Reid did not want a cat counterpart. At all.
Tyler glared and cradled a blonde kitty--Reid bet that was Kitty!Reid--to his chest. "They're not things, Reid, they're kittens. They're barely a month old and they need to be taken care of until someone wants to adopt them."
"Who the fuck made you their keeper then?"
"…Pogue," Tyler answered sheepishly; he knew Pogue was the reason behind Reid's… misfortune with animals.
Reid let out a frustrated groan and took a seat on Tyler's bed, glaring at the four kittens that were currently making themselves at home on his bed.
"Why couldn't you put them on your bed?" Reid asked, crossing his arms over his chest.
"You have more pillows for them to play on," He shrugged and traded the blonde kitten in his hand for one with black fur; Reid couldn't decide if that one was Tyler or Caleb.
"…which one's that?" Reid couldn't help but satisfy his curiosity; he just glared when Tyler gave him a smug smile.
"Caleb."
"How can you tell?"
"Simple," Tyler said as he picked up Kitty!Tyler and held him next to Kitty!Caleb. "See?"
Reid looked at the two cats with a bored expression, then shook his head. "Uh, no."
Tyler sighed and handed the two kittens to Reid, who made a displeased face but let the two things sit in his lap. One seemed to like cuddling into him a lot more than the other. Reid let out an amused scoff and picked that one up, looking into its blue eyes, then into Tyler's. "This one's Tyler, I take it."
"Mhm," Tyler nodded happily and picked up 'Reid' and 'Pogue'… but they jumped at each other and started fighting, letting out very loud, very annoying meows and whines.
Reid had to chuckle at that. "Like human, like cat? Duuude, then you better hope Tyler's really a guy and not a girl."
"What, why?" Tyler asked, pulling the two fighting kittens apart.
"'Cause if Reid gets his paws on her, you're gunna have a lot more than four kittens to worry about."
Tyler's face fell; let it be Reid to think of that, even when it came to cute, innocent little…
"Tyler, why is Cat Me climbing onto my lap…?"
Tyler had to grin at the sight of the dark kitten and the blonde one cuddling next to each other in Reid's lap.
Okay, so there was some truth behind what Reid had said…

Note: JainaSolo18, I'm saving your prompt for last because it requires a tad bit more detail than the other ones I have. So don't worry, I didn't skip over you or anything! I just know that it will take a bit more time since you have so much details about it, lol. It should be out next week, I hope.
