[garwin]

I don't know. Maybe you wanted to kiss someone without me getting in the way.

[He shrugged.]

[foolsaround]

[ he stares at you after you make that shrug ]

Who says you got in my way? I liked it, okay? It's you, Reid. It's not just 'anyone'.

[garwin]

[He avoided eye contact and shook his head a little.]

Alright, don't worry about it then. I just wanted to be sure.

[Simple as that, end of story, right?]

[foolsaround]

Reid.

[ he says that name firmly ]

You can't even look me in the eye. We've been friends for how long-- you think I can't tell what that means?

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Balfour wandered back over, swaying a little worse by now, another large cup of something strong in his hand--this time straight liquor, a rich brown color. He smiles at Reid and walks up behind Tyler, squeezing his butt as he went.]}

Miss me?

[garwin]

Then what does it-

[Oh look, a distraction. A distraction that was lucky Reid liked him, or else he'd be more than just a little disgruntled right now. Either way, he smirked.]

We were hoping you were going to come back.

[foolsaround]

Hey, how come I get my ass grabbed but not Reid?

[blueeyedflyboy]

Because I walked up behind you, not him, and I only had one hand.

_{[He chuckles and moves over to Reid, getting a good handful from him, too.]}

Feel better? And of course I came back. I just wanted a drink.

[garwin]

Much better. [He laughed, grinning. Ah, yes, ass grabs, the perfect subject changer.]

He has a nice ass anyway. [He was straight back to teasing, like they hadn't just been edging into serious conversation territory a few seconds ago.]

[foolsaround]

I know I look good, okay.

[ like that was even a worry ]

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Balfour just smirked and backed against the table, grabbing his drink again and sipping at it before offering it to Tyler as if it were a normal thing now.]}

Yeah, damn sexy. Honestly I'd like to know if all the pieces match up.

_{[Mainly one certain piece was what he was curious about.]}

[garwin]

I'm still hotter than you though.

[No, he hadn't forgotten about that still.

Oh. Oh. That hadn't exactly occurred to him before. Well, the thought had crossed his mind, but now...how much were they alike, really?]

Now I'm curious too.

[foolsaround]

Okay, I'm putting a foot down on naked stripping at a party while drunk. That never ends well.

[blueeyedflyboy]

It doesn't have to be at the party.

_{[Hint hint: they really should get a room.]}

[garwin]

[The real question was...have you ever been involved in naked stripping at a party before, Tyler.]

Exactly. We, or you two, could find some place private.

[foolsaround]

[ the answer is yes and the answer is don't ask. it didn't end well ]

That's much better.

[blueeyedflyboy]

_{[Balfour smirks, liking this plan, but glances over to Reid.}

We.

<sub>[There was no question about it. He wasn't going to be separating the two, and doubtless Reid was just as curious.

The boys had better be glad that he was drunk.]</sub>

We all need to...retreat. If we're going to do that.

[garwin]

[Of course Reid was curious. He just...wasn't a hundred percent sure about this. Part of him really wanted it, part of him was fidgety over it. There was a moment before he replied.]

Alright, we need to go somewhere private.

Retreat?

[foolsaround]

Where should we go?

[blueeyedflyboy]

<sub>[Balfour is mainly curious about the similarities between him and Tyler, so if things don't progress, it will be no loss to him.

He shrugs, shaking his head.]</sub>

You pick the place? I think... Is this not the home of one of you?

[garwin]

It's both of ours. [He shrugged.] We've just gotta pick a bedroom or something.

[foolsaround]

Not a hard thing to do.

[blueeyedflyboy]

Well...lead the way then?

_{[He smiles shyly, tugging at the hem of his gloves, glancing from side to side. He's suddenly nervous, but he knows that things don't have to go far. He's too curious to stop now.]}

[garwin]

Come on.

[Well, it looked like the task of leading fell to Reid. He could certainly handle that. He took each of them by the hand and tugged them along with him. Since he was the one leading, he took them into his room. If anyone had a complaint with that, well, they shouldn't have let him lead. It wasn't the neatest room in the place-Reid was many things, but neat was not one of them. At least it was only some clothes scattered across the floor and an unmade bed this time.

Reid was also lazy, so while he nudged the door most of the way shut with his foot, he didn't quite close it that way. At least he had the common sense to turn his head away from Balfour so that he wouldn't see the eye flare when he Used to shut the door the rest of the way-and lock it.]

I'm not picking up anything so don't complain.

[foolsaround]

[ he eyes the door but doesn't say anything, knowing that Reid had used to close the door ]

No complaints here.
