Reid/Tyler - First Kiss

An explosion every millisecond filled Reid's ears, and his vision was filled with bright and colored lights falling from the night sky. He had seen it all before, and it got a little old after seventeen years. Fourth of July fireworks just didn't send the same excitement through as they did when he was younger.

Tyler, however, was a different story. He was standing next to Reid, his head tilted up towards the sky to enjoy the light-show; he was entranced by it.

"Ty, let's go already," Reid sighed and nudged his best friend in the side. "This is lame."

"Five more minutes," Tyler pleaded, his eyes leaving the sky to look at Reid with the best puppy eyes he could pull off, "Please?" he added and took hold of Reid's hand to tug him back.

Reid let out a loud groan but took his spot next to Tyler again. Their hands didn't part, but Reid didn't mind. He also didn't mind the fireworks so much when he watched the reflection of them in Tyler's eyes.

Tyler must have felt Reid staring at him because he turned and gave the blond a questioning look. "Reid? The fireworks are up there..."

"Yeah," Reid murmured and slid his fingers into the hair at the back of Tyler's head to pull him closer and bring their lips together. Tyler froze for a second before his body went on auto-pilot and his lips responded on their own accord.

They stood there, engulfed in each other and locked in a meeting of lips, as the fireworks finale blasted off behind them.


A/N: Shorter than I've been writing, but the constant fireworks these past two nights just hit my muse & made me write this. :) Hope you enjoyed!
