And by now Reid was just babbling and, what the hell. They were discussing it anyway. He knew Reid was squirrelly about it, but there were times when he didn't understand why. And there were times when it was hard, and right now was one of those times when he just wanted to take him and pull him close and cover his mouth with his.

So, well. He did.

One hand slid around to cup Reid's cheek and he pulled him in just a little bit closer and he kissed him, pressing his lips to his and not quite opening his mouth but definitely making it as deep and passionate as he could without forcing anything on him. Gentle. Soft. And with muscles knotting with the effort.

And eventually coming up for air so Reid could find his words again, maybe, or so Tyler could try and find his words again, if there were any.
