"'s gonna be a good one," he said as he worked to get the fire going, careful and as they usually did, so many evenings before.

Tyler shot him a look from where he was setting the tent up, then followed his eyes up to the cloud above the horizon and the setting sun beginning to kiss them soft bruises and a warm gold, and grinned. "Ye-ah." After a bit of fiddling, the tiny structure came up, and he beamed. Then looked up again and tilted his head. "You gonna draw it?"

Reid froze, for a split second, then looked down for another before blowing the flames finally alive. "Maybe." He was still uncomfortable even talking about that, even if he knew, deep down and all the way up, that Tyler would never scorn anything that he did. Never dismiss it. It was just ... too many years of hiding it. And too few - weeks, really, of acknowledgment. Shy on his side, bright-eyes-and-half-open-lips enthusiastic on Tyler's.

The hesitation was enough for his friend (and everything) to get concerned; Tyler's arm war around his shoulders and his body pressed close in a hug in a heartbeat. "Hey. You okay?"

Reid smiled, even if it was just a little quirky. He couldn't not, at this touch, at this tone. Decided that the best answer wouldn't be in words, so he leaned in and kissed, until fingers were tight in his hair and the hug had turned into something way closer and they were both gasping for breath. "Yeah."

The brunet's face scrunched up at him. "I got that."

"Objections now?"

"Oh, none." Which point was very much demonstrated by the hand moving down along his chest. And down, and down, until Reid's smile took a slight edge and a small noise tickled his throat.

In a bit, as they were making their way inside the tent, Tyler murmured, "you'll miss the sunset."

The blond blinked for a half-moment, then shrugged, tugging his shirt up. "I'll get the one tomorrow."

Tyler gave that a brief snicker, securing the opening, and then chorused with him.

"Maybe."
