"Try not to disappear tonight, Reid," Mrs. Garwin advised as she fixed her son's tie, "It's rude, and there will be many important people here."
Reid mocked her in his head but rolled his eyes and nodded anyway. "Why'd you have to pick New Year's to have this stupid 'ball' thing anyway?"
"Because it's a fun holiday."
"Not if I'm stuck here with all of your snot-nose friends and their ugly daughters."
Mrs. Garwin tightened the knot too tightly on purpose and narrowed her eyes at her son in warning. "Keep your opinions to yourself, Reid. Besides, you won't be alone. Tyler, Christopher, and Caleb will also be joining us."
"Mom, how the fuck am I going to get laid tonight with those demographics?" Reid asked as he loosened the tie his mother tried killing him with.
Mrs. Garwin took a deep breath to calm herself and let it out before replying. "Reid Matthew Garwin, if you do not behave tonight, I will take away your dorming privileges, and you will live at home with me, and I can guarantee you that you will not 'get laid' in those circumstances."
Reid stayed quiet, taking a moment to contemplate what his mother said. "...I love you, Mom," he said with a bright grin, hoping it win her over... a little.
Mrs. Garwin rolled her eyes and kissed her son's forehead before ushering him off towards the stairs. "The guests should be arriving soon, hurry along and make sure the staff has everything ready."
Three hours later, it was nearing eleven, and Reid was nearing the edge of insanity. "Tyler, come on, ten minutes, I promise. No one will even notice we're gone," Reid whispered near Tyler's ear as he came up behind him to reach for something off the table of drinks in front of them. "I know you want to."
"I know that I don't wanna get in trouble," Tyler replied and took a step away from Reid; he knew being close to him would only help Reid in his persuasion methods. "You can survive one night, Reid."
"Please, Tyler?"
Tyler sighed and just walked away.
Half an hour later, Reid was back at it.
Ten minutes after that, Reid was leading Tyler up the stairs.
Five minutes later, a shirtless Reid was on top of a disheveled Tyler, who was still trying to say 'no' to his advances but was obviously losing the battle. Reid's mouth tended to have that effect on him.
"Reid... c'mon, it's almost midnight," Tyler panted when Reid pulled away to take Tyler's shirt off.
"Tyler, if you don't shut up, I won't let you get any air at all," Reid warned and pulled Tyler's shirt off over his head, with no help whatsoever from the younger teen. "Stop being so stubborn."
"Okay... but five more minutes is all," Tyler sighed and pulled Reid down for another kiss.
Ten minutes later, Reid was trying to get his pants off without pulling his mouth from Tyler's skin; Reid's mother was trying to find her son without being obvious.
"Christopher, Caleb, would you like to assist me? Your mothers and Tyler's, as well, are helping me look for Reid and Tyler. Did you see where they went?"
Caleb and Pogue looked at each other, then at Mrs. Garwin and shook their heads.
"Well, then, come look with me," Mrs. Garwin instructed and began to walk away expecting and fully knowing that the boys would follow.
They're screwed, Pogue sent to Caleb, who nodded and sent a warning to the younger two.
Did Reid and Tyler listen to the warning? Of course not.
Two minutes before the ball dropped, the search team found themselves in the hallway containing all the guest rooms. They split the hall in half and started opening doors, looking for the two missing teens.
Roughly 10 seconds before midnight, the two 'teams' met each other at the last door, and Mrs. Garwin opened it.
At midnight exactly, Mrs. Garwin heard the crowd explode in excitement and saw her son and a boy she thought of as a son literally explode in excitement.
The four mothers stood there, shell-shocked. Pogue and Caleb stood there and looked anywhere but the bed; they were embarrassed enough for the younger two.
"...Mom?" Tyler mumbled out when he had come off of his after-glow high. It seemed unreal to him, until he blinked and completely took in everything. "MOM!" He grabbed the comforter and pulled it over himself and Reid, who was still appreciating the after effects of their activities.
"Tyler, why the fuck are you yelling mom?" he mumbled into Tyler's neck and received a jostling in return from the body underneath him.
"Because... your mom, my mom, Caleb's mom, Pogue's mom, Caleb, and Pogue are all staring at us. Right now."
"Hm?" Reid used all of his effort to turn towards the door, and he looked at everyone for a moment before the situation hit him. "What the fuck are you all staring at?"
"Reid Matthew Garwin, I would like to see you fully clothed and in your room in the next five minutes, or I will drag your bare-naked body down there myself," Mrs. Garwin said after she finally broke out of her stupor, then excused herself and walked around the other three mothers, who still seemed to be in shock.
"Um... ladies," Pogue cleared his throat, "I bet there's still champagne downstairs..."
"I'm going to need some after this little discovery," Mrs. Danvers joked and left to go downstairs, taking Caleb with her.
"Come, Christopher," Mrs. Parry said, following the Danvers' and Pogue followed.
"...we'll tell your father about this later, Tyler," Mrs. Sims promised and with one last look at her baby boy, she left as well, closing the door behind her.
"Fuck my life, Reid, this is all your fault."
